We went here because our hotel recommended it but frankly we were looking for just a small place to find good steamed seafood, not even on the waterfront. Since we had already parked and you only get free parking if you eat here plus parking is so expensive, we ended up having to eat here. This place was ok but the waitstaff was just way too friendly and too up in our business. One was asking us personal questions that had nothing to do with our visit nor our meal. We didn't feel that social and for the most part wanted her to just go away. I ended up giving her some snarky responses and she laughed and went away. Food was ok pretty much on par with other seafood places. It was move expensive than we were looking to spend and they wont allow you to share the twin lobster, other places I've been allow 2 people to share a twin lobster especially if they are charging $40 for the meal and buying appetizers.

Food was OK, enjoyable setting for a meal, service was s-l-o-w<br><br>We went for lunch. Pretty standard seafood fare, nothing very exciting. The restaurant is a floating ship, so really you can't beat the views. The interior is dark and tired. It appears the decor hasn't been updated in quite a while. There are several televisions in the dining area. The waitress was nice, but it took a long time for her to check in with us, then for the food to arrive. It's not particularly cheap either. <br><br>Overall I'd categorize the restaurant as a tourist destination that might not appeal to younger clientele. I'll probably take a pass and not return. There are a lot better restaurants in Portland for the money.

Dimillo's is one of the places in Portland that I tend to avoid. Not because the food is terrible, not because the staff is rude, but because I think of it as a giant tourist destination and don't want to get caught waiting in a crowd. <br>Honestly, while I still think this might be true in the summer, I recently realized that I had perhaps been too hasty in my Dimilo's judgement, and headed over to Dimillo's for happy hour this past Friday with a party of 5. <br>I remembered to bring my parking ticket in with me for validation and found a large oval booth available to seat all of us. Dimillo's happy hour runs Mon-Fri from 4-7. All drinks are $1 off and you can order a bunch of inexpensive apps for $6 each.<br>Our waiter was attentive and helpful, the rest of the staff were also cheery and responsive to customers. We all started with a round of beer and hard cider. We started on the appetizers by ordering the mussels, the fried calamari and the buffalo shrimp. We also requested bread, which came as a large basket of warm bread and soft butter. Score!<br>The calamari was good enough, but tasted pretty standard, just as you might think it would. The buffalo shrimp were pretty great, about five large shrimp with a fresh blue cheese dip, and the mussels were so fantastic that we ordered them again! <br>On the second round of food, we also added the roasted vegetable platter (very good) and the meatballs and ricotta (well made and filling).<br>Overall, we had a great time and all left super stuffed for $20 each with tip! I was also reminded of what a particularly awesome destination Dimillo's can be in the warmer months, when the bar opens it's big outdoor seating section and you can sit out in the fresh air and watch the sun set over the water. Pretty sweet.<br>Don't forget to get your parking ticket validated on the way out!

Decent tourist trap. Expensive, solid food. Go to J's next door or fore street. Duck fat for breakfast.
