We have been to DiMillo's before but it's been well over 5 years, if not more. We were in Portland for a night this weekend and decided to give it a shot for old times sake. We weren't impressed. DiMillo's would have gotten 2 stars if it wasn't for the mussels which was the saving grace of the meal. We got them for an appetizer and they were DELISH. That and the bead was fresh and yummy. <br>After that we both got a cup of clam chowder and neither of us ate it after a couple of spoon fulls. It was basically straight thick cream with clams. No taste and so thick it was almost disgusting. <br>For entrees - we had the filet and the lazy lobster pie. Filet was very fatty which was disappointing. After seeing the lazy lobster on the menu I asked the waitress if they could do it baked stuffed. She told me they had a lazy lobster pie on that was not even on the menu and that it was prepared in butter with a ritz cracker stuffing and that I could add crab or lobster for additional. I went for it plain baked stuffed. When it came it was in a creamy breakdcrumb sauce and it really wasn't good. The lobster was way over cooked and chewy as could be. <br>Lastly, we waited an hour for our table and the waitress although she was attentive, she seemed almost annoyed when we asked for something. Her greeting to us after pouring water was "you ready?". We ended up putting in an appetizer to start and she stared at us pen in hand like we were putting her out by not ordering all at once. Anyways, if it wasn't for the mussels and the bread this would have been a 2 star. Not horrible but could have been much better, and WAS much better in the past.

The food was more pricey than other restaurants in town. Only bought for the view, not the food.

Lunch. Okay. Not sure if I'd go back. No substitutions allowed on many items. Beautiful view, pleasant staff and managers.

Twins lobsters were good. Chowder was good. Filet was decent, not as flavorful as I was hoping. I think the main draw is the novelty of being on a ship.

No happy hour, no oysters, out of prime rib before 7pm...can you say tourist trap. Also the bartender charged me for two drinks instead of one and instead of fixing the bill she said I had credit for one drink the next time I came in. Not really ideal considering I only visit that place once every 3 years. Other than that the food looked good with lots of options.
