We ate in an igloo. The beer was good craft ale- Orono Brewing Tubular. The food was good, but a little disappointing for the price. The wait staff was superb. A man handled seating and questions. A young waitress was super friendly, excellently attentive, and really good with our 8 year-old. The igloos were comfortable, QUIET, and warm. We had an enjoyable afternoon.

I sat with this one for a while because I really wanted to like it more than I did. But in the end, Thames Landing just isn’t for me. I can see the appeal for tourists — the waterfront location is undeniably great — but in a city full of incredible food and drink spots, you have to put in more effort than this. It feels like they’re leaning way too hard on their location and letting everything else slide.
We went on a Friday evening with a reservation, and from the start, things felt a little off. The staff seemed flustered even though the place wasn’t that busy. The space itself was… not it. Sterile, borderline corporate. It was hard to tell what vibe they were even going for. If there hadn’t been a lobster frame on the wall, I wouldn’t have guessed we were in Maine. Even getting to the bathroom felt like walking through an office building; genuinely confusing and like walking through a maze.
As for the food, it was mostly disappointing. The cod croquettes and deviled eggs were good, and probably the best part of our dinner, though the eggs were wildly overpriced for what amounted to one and a half eggs. The duck confit salad was really bad. It came served on a plate (even though the server said it was supposed to come in a bowl), which made it impossible to mix. It had random chunks of what tasted like canned cranberry sauce and barely any duck. No dressing, either. Just… not good. The description simply did not match what I ended up getting. My partner’s burger was better, but still not worth the $20 price tag. Fries were meh. Cocktails were the one bright spot — actually well made and fairly priced. If we go back, it’ll be for drinks. That said, they served the vermouth over crushed ice, which immediately diluted the flavor… rookie mistake.
And that kind of brings me to the biggest issue: the disconnect between what the restaurant seems to think it is and what it actually delivers. Prices suggest a polished, elevated experience. But everything else — the service, the ambiance, the execution — says otherwise. Our server was sweet and clearly trying, but very inexperienced. She didn’t know what a Negroni was, or what vermouth was, and seemed unsure about most things. At the end of the night, she brought our check while we were still eating, which felt rushed. I paid on my phone and let her know, and she said nothing… but two blocks away, the manager came running after us saying it hadn’t gone through. Thankfully I had the receipt to show her we had actually paid, and she was kind about it, but it was uncomfortable and unnecessary. A quick double check from the server would’ve saved everyone some awkwardness.
I don’t think Thames Landing is totally hopeless — there’s potential here, especially with that location — but there’s a lot of work to be done. For now, it’s not somewhere I’d recommend, especially if you’re a local.

You come for the lobster, you stay for the ribs. Yeah, Maine seafood is supposed to be the headliner, but these ribs? Fall-off-the-bone, sauce-slinging rebels that nearly upstage the lobsters. The chowder still delivers that warm, creamy hug, and the lobster roll is piled higher than your weekend plans—but it’s the ribs that whisper, “bet you didn’t see this coming.”
Add in dockside views, cold beer, and the kind of service that makes you forget how hangry you were when you walked in, and Thames Landing pulls off the rare trick: a seafood joint where the meat gets equal billing.
Stretchy pants recommended.

I took my friend for his birthday dinner, and the experience from start to finish was excellent. We arrived without a reservation, but the staff made sure we were well taken care of. My friend thoroughly enjoyed his food, which meant a lot to me since it was his special day. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect, elegant, and memorable evening.

I NEVER leave a bad review….but there always has to be a first. When this location was called Helm’s, it was wonderful, super friendly staff, great bartender, and delicious food! We tried Thames, and it was a disaster. I had asked for a margarita and questioned what tequila they had. She showed me two tequilas and said this “one is more expensive”….as if I had asked for the price. The margarita tasted like a mixture of water and tequila….horrible. I asked for OJ to try and blend, and there was no help in making it taste any better. We had Mussels, and they were good….as we were waiting for our lunch to arrive, we were given our check instead. I had a very raw burger, one bite, and I was done. My husband had a lobster roll drenched in an odd tasting mayo like sauce. Aside from the ” I could care less bartender/manager” the rest of the staff was pleasant. So kudos to the young lady who gave me the orange juice and to the new bartender who came on duty unfortunately too late.

This is a small restaurant with big service. The valet, host/hostess, bartenders, servers, chefs and managers were all Michelin star level. The food was very good. The cocktails were terrific. But what shined most was the service. This was the kind of experience I expect and really enjoy at a nice restaurant. Thank you Thames Landing for giving that wonderful experience to our large and a little loud party.

Food was underwhelming and under seasoned. It felt sterile with lots of bright lights and hard surfaces. The staff was very attentive and friendly and the bubbles outside looked cozy. Definitely gave hotel lobby resturant vibes. Not for me

Made a reservation for a special occasion. The staff couldn’t have been any more helpful and accommodating. We all agreed it was the perfect place for our celebration.
Everyone enjoyed the cocktails. There was a nice selection of food- we had some turf only eaters in the group. The prices were reasonable.

After an afternoon of hiking, my husband and I were primed for some good food. Being a celiac, it’s very difficult to walk into a restaurant without questions. After talking to some locals, we decided to try out Thames Landing. The restaurant was hopping busy and we had a very short wait. Make a reservation!
The owners went out of their way to ensure that we were taken care of. They also explained the measures they take to protect people with various allergies and a celiac like me. I was so comfortable of their knowledge and care. I enjoyed appetizers (roasted brussel sprouts & calamari) and a fantastic dinner with grilled salmon.
Thank you, Thames Landing❤️

Thames Landing was so delicious. We ate here coming from out of town and the food was outstanding. The fish and chips, roasted chicken, the specials everything was amazing. Very reasonably priced and was such a great atmosphere for our family to dine including our one year old. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. The views were amazing as well. All around a great place! Shout out to Henry and Johnny!
