    In the atmosphere category, DiMillo's has it going on. You're on a boat, literally, yet you are in the middle of the Old Port District of Portland.<br><br>I'd like to say that we picked DiMillo's because of the incredibly high reviews of yelpers, but we didn't. I'd also like to say we picked here because our hotel concierge spoke very highly, but he didn't. He said OK things, though, not bad.<br><br>To be honest, we picked here because they had parking. Honestly, I don't know how an area like the Old Port District can have so many fabulous restaurants, unique shops, interesting places to explore, yet virtually no public parking. Geez.<br><br>We were told our wait would be 20-25 minutes, but it was seriously less than 5. We sat indoors on the main level, yet we could see out all the windows around us. It was raining, so it's not like we were missing much.<br><br>We had enjoyed a long day of driving and then walking around the Portland Head Light, so were hot and just ordered iced tea to drink ($2.50 each, don't you hate that?). We started with salads that we added to our entrees ($5 caesar and $6 market) after I tried to a cup of lobster stew ($9). The salads were quite good, the stew was good - had lots of lobster and seafood - but it was surprisingly thin. That's probably one of the most surprising things to this Southern girl on this New England trip.. that often clam chowder, seafood chowder, or lobster chowder are all broth-y and not creamy. Who knew?<br><br>For dinner I had the Lazy Lobster ($27) which was good, but honestly wasn't the best lobster I enjoyed this trip. Hubby had the fried shrimp ($21) which he said was also good.. not the best ever, they were very small shrimp that really should've been called popcorn. We ordered a to go cheesecake after seeing another table's order of the Chef's special blueberry swirl ($6) which was exceptionally good.<br><br>All in all it was a good dinner, not the best we ever had, but for the overall experience I' rate them A-OK just as the yelp rating implies.<br><br>Our service was OK, not the most attentive ever, but not the worst either.<br><br>And in case you're interested, our hotel concierge explained if you had visited DiMillo's in 2013 or earlier, the food was really not up to par. They had a new chef and new cooks in the kitchen were things are better than a year or so ago... so if you visited then or read an earlier review, know that things have changed.<br><br>And free parking for three hours... sold.

    Well, we had high expectations (or maybe not figuring it was probably more so a "touristy" place to try), but it wasn't all that great. We really just wanted to try it because of the fact that it's on a boat, on the water, and wanted to get a nice view..which was ok. The food actually was pretty good as well..not great, but done well. So with the good tastes & ok view, it saved not getting a horrible review.<br><br>But what was really bad, was the service. We were sat rather quickly, but it literally took our waitress 20 minutes (if not longer) to come over and take our drink order to start. She passed by 2 or 3 times saying, "I'll be right with you," yet failed to do so until 5 or so minutes after that 3rd time of saying it. Just horrible. Definitely won't be dining here next time we're in Portland.

    Food was good but over priced. Waitress had a great attitude and the view from the outdoor deck was good.
