Mid Coast region is a capital of gorgeous waterfront dining

Everyone wants to dine at a restaurant where the view is as memorable as the menu. And that’s what you’ll find at the Fisherman’s Wharf Inn Restaurant, where award-winning food is served up against the backdrop of panoramic views of Boothbay Harbor. The restaurant’s renowned chefs focus on simply prepared items made with the freshest possible local ingredients. Enjoy freshly caught Maine lobster served as you like it: steamed, baked stuffed, already shucked or as part of an amazing shore dinner (save room for the blueberry pie). There’s lobster bisque, char-grilled burgers, diver scallops, fried oysters, hearty sandwiches, fresh salads and so much more. Dine or enjoy a signature cocktail by water-view windows or outside on the deck.

A casual atmosphere and high-quality cuisine make dining at Fireside Inn & Suites Ocean’s Edge restaurant a real pleasure whether it’s just the two of you or a big-family occasion. And, in addition to the menu, which features classic, original, innovative seasonal offerings, there’s that spectacular view of Penobscot Bay. Grab a burger or a pizza under an umbrella on the patio (or bring a cocktail out there and enjoy the firepit at night) or settle in for dinner, starting perhaps with spinach and mushroom crab cakes, moving on to New England clam chowder (of course!), then baked stuffed haddock and a selection of delectable desserts. There is something for everyone at Ocean’s Edge.

Delightful food and spirits, designed to nourish the soul, are the order of the day at the classic Spruce Point Inn on Maine’s coast. Menus are inspired by fresh-caught seafood, sustainably raised livestock, the harvest from local farms and fresh herbs (some from the inn’s own gardens). And the dining venue locations are inspired by the inn’s waterfront location between the sea and the woodlands. Watch the sailboats as you linger over lobster rolls on the Grandview Deck; enjoy a cocktail and some truffle fries at The Salty Stag, the inn’s cheery gathering place; and marvel at shimmering ocean views while you also marvel at the grilled lobster at the elegant Whiteclover restaurant.

Scrumptious seafood fresh off the boat, sizzling steaks, perfect pasta and sweeping panoramic views of a scenic working harbor: That’s all on the menu at the Tugboat Inn Restaurant, a favorite lunch and dinner spot for visitors and locals alike. Start with a crock of clam chowder or lobster bisque, enjoy a burger, salad, scallops, baked stuffed haddock, chicken pot pie or a perfectly prepared sirloin – or, of course, lobster steamed, sautéed or served up in a roll. There’s a generous wine list, a good variety of beers and creative cocktails. Kids will love the Junior Mates menu and the fact that the restaurant is built around the original superstructure of the Maine, an historic tugboat.
