    The last time I came to Portland I was worried to go here because I thought it was a tourist trap, this time around I made it a point to go here, and I am so glad I did.<br>The interior is very cool, not overdone, a really nice setting inside a ship, with a view of the water, can go either casual and dressed up.<br>Good variety of cocktails and beers.<br>The warm bread they drop off at the table was delicious<br>The food:<br>-Fried Oysters: Amazing. Wrapped in lettuce with bacon and tarter sauce, great combo of flavors<br><br>-Lobster Stew: A must. Picture butter turned broth, with huge chunks of lobster, super flavorful<br><br>-1.5lb lobster: Delicious and sweet meat, perfect portion with a side<br><br>-Lobster mac and cheese: cheesy and lobstery just as we hoped it would be <br><br>If you are in Portland, make it a point to come here, you can get your lobster fix and more and prices are reasonable. Probably the best of the lobster spots i visited in portland.

    I really want to rate this place a 3.5 out of 5, but Yelp doesn't let you do factional ratings, so I will round down to a 3. <br><br>We went here around dinner time on the Saturday before Memorial Day. It was very busy, (the parking lot was filled up), and we didn't have a reservation. No problem, they were still able to seat us at a table with a view of the bay. That is a sign of how big this place is on the inside. A lot of the people on the inside were clearly tourists, but many tables were also clearly locals celebrating a special event. There was even a newly married couple in the restaurant, the bride still in her wedding dress. <br><br>We ordered a variety of seafood: salmon haddock, shrimp, and scallops. I thought the scallops were spectacular, but the other food was merely good. The price was a bit high: you were clearly paying a premium for the fact that you are technically on a boat and that the restaurant is clearly a local landmark and tourist attraction (there is a gift shop on the premises). The service was also very slow. Curiously, our waitress kept coming up to us to apologize for neglecting us, when you think she could have used some of that time to provide service and not just apologize.

    This is a good restaurant in the aspect that its Maine so there isn't that many places. For an App I got the Bacon Wrapped Scallops. They were way overcooked and just didn't taste very fresh. I had the Lobster dinner which came with I whole lobster, Clam Chowder, Green Beans, clams which I swapped out for scallops and a Loaded Baked Potato. First off the price of the lobster was a record high due to the bay being frozen over and the fisherman not getting the normal amounts of lobster. I believe it was right around $49.00 a pound at the market. What I have been finding is that the lobster is fresh up in Maine but they don't do anything special with them, they are just steamed. Grilled lobster or serve lobster with different sauces that compliment the lobster would be amazing. But Everywhere I had it in Maine it was just super plain. It was good but I have definitely had better.

    What a cool spot. A little confusing at first to figure out exactly how to get into the restaurant but great views and cool atmosphere. We went for lunch and sat outside on the deck. The food was very good and the drinks were strong (big fan). A little pricey for lunch but the location was worth it.

    This place is okay. Food quality is good enough. Also you are on a boat, which is a bonus in itself. This is the type of place that maybe your parents or grandparents would like more than you.
