A great little place in Boothbay Harbour, the carbonara was lovely, my husband ordered chicken wings as an entree, it was more of a meal.
We were greeted with a warm welcome, shown the Maine Hospitality and great food.

One of the nicest spot in Boothbay harbor, offering a great view of the bay from their cozy rooftop. The staff was very nice, even letting us linger past closing. The clam chowder had a delightful texture and flavor, and the lobster bisque was good. The green salad with well-seasoned and well-done shrimps was a simple yet noice choice. However, our main disappointment was the seafood risotto, given the restaurant’s reputation for risotto. Adding Parmigiano or any cheese to seafood risotto is unacceptable. Despite the rice and the seafood being otherwise well prepared, this was a major misteps. The sangria was not a smart choice as well – it contained no fresh fruits and was noticeably lacking in flavour, very watery/diluted. We also felt the pricing was quite high for the overall experience.

Food was amazing (some of the best we have had, after living in Maine for over 40 years. This little spot was unexpectedly delicious!) Views were amazing. Only complaint was there was a handful of hornets that kept trying to get into our food during our meal. One good slap and they leave you alone for a few minutes, but quickly return. Waitress said this is a regular issue. Otherwise, a perfect spot!

Had a small dinner (clam chowder) here at Boathouse, but wanted to try so many things. Plenty of options for all dietary restrictions, gorgeous rooftop seating with views of the Harbor, and friendly service. Great drinks, too. Would definitely go back to try the chef’s famous risotto.

My husband had the salmon and orzo. He absolutely loved his meal. I had a vegan option which they have a lot of of those. I had the sticky tofu with regular rice, not the coconut rice. The mail was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Boathouse Bistro is one of our favorite spots whenever we’re in Boothbay Harbor. In a town full of tourist-heavy restaurants, this place stands out, and we’ve tried quite a few. Prices are fair given the location (you are in Boothbay, after all), and the quality and portions make it feel worth it.
We’ve been in both summer and winter, and it’s been a great experience each time. In the colder months, the indoor tables with harbor views feel extra cozy. In the summer, their rooftop deck has one of the best views in town. Service has always been friendly and attentive, even during busy times.
Our go-to is the haddock sandwich. They use these massive pieces of fish, and it’s always cooked perfectly. We’ve had it both fried and blackened — both are excellent!

Love the boathouse bistro! We shared coconut shrimp, lobster tacos & seafood risotto. Everything was bursting with flavors and our server Karen was amazing!!!! The view was gorgeous but the food and service was AMAZING.

This restaurant spans three floors. At lunchtime, they serve meals on the rooftop deck, which offers a lovely view of the harbor, though it’s quite a climb up the stairs. The service is attentive, and the food is generally enjoyable. There are also bar seats available if you prefer a bar atmosphere. Prices are on the higher side, and the menu features a variety of international dishes.

Amazing!!! We were able to eat dinner here twice during our 3-night stay in town. The atmosphere is great (especially on the 2nd floor), the menu was impressive, the food and drinks were OUTSTANDING, the holiday decorations really lovely, and we were lucky to be served by Margie both times (yay!). Margie was such a phenomenal server – kind, funny, professional, helpful. She’s part of the reason we went back a 2nd time – thanks so much for helping make our time in BBH memorable and fun! 🙂

Sat upstairs 3 flights up, and what a view of the harbor. My wife had Maine Halibut for dinner and said it was delicious. I had the seafood rossetti, and it was OUTSTANDING !! Well worth the $$. Service was good. Over all very good experience.
