    So after reading most of the reviews, written by tourists calling the place a tourist trap, I felt it was my duty as a "local" or in this case a former local, to write a review for this place. As far as it being a tourist trap, while I agree that it's a big draw for tourists, many, MANY locals also eat there. It's a family owned place so that brings a lot of people back. <br><br>I think Dimillo's is great, old fashioned and a bit outdated, of course, but that's all part of the experience. It was a popular pre prom dinner spot, and I've also been there for many a first date, wedding reception, graduation party, etc. <br><br>The food is incredibly fresh and well prepared. For those who say it's expensive... well you're eating on a refurbished boat, in Portland Harbor, and you're eating some of the freshest seafood you could ever get the chance to eat. What do you expect? If you want cheap haul yourself down to one of the seafood chains by the mall and see how you're feeling a couple hours after your meal!

    Fun Time Six of us went for dinner. The wait time was one hour. I was nervous since I had read the reviews and they were not very flowery. The night was beautiful weather. We sat out on the deck and enjoyed the night. The waitress was casual, friendly, and efficient. The crab stuffed haddock was a generous portion, a little dry but tasty. The vegetables on the side were parboiled or on the steamer, nothing special. The baked potato undecorated. My mother ordered Lobster Stew that she thought was delicious. My husband had seafood in pasta which was very good. One son ate the twin lobsters, he enjoyed them. We had a good time. Nice place.

    Looking back on it, I guess it is a tourist trap, and I'll fell right for it. I mean having dinner on a boat, how cool does that sound? Plus I can get real Maine lobster. Sounds like a deal.<br><br>When I went, they had a special going on where they were celebrating 25 years in business by rolling back the prices to what they were 25 years ago. That means I was able to get two whole lobsters and sides for about $17. Not bad at all.<br><br>I'd never had whole lobster before, so the waiter was nice enough to show me how to eat it. He even put my bib on for me. Real nice guy with a good sense of humor. The lobster was great although the potatoes were a little blah. <br><br>All in all, a good time for this tourist.

    Went again last night with some people. Had the fisherman's platter of fried haddock, clams, scallops and shrimp. Not as good as the Weathervane and more expensive.
