One would expect excellent seafood in Maine along the coast. I ordered the seafood linguine. Linguine was average and sauce (oil) was pretty flavorless. The seafood itself was sparse. There was half a soft shell lobster (lacks meat), three clams, and three decent size shrimp. For $50 this is not great value especially 2 1/2 hours up in to Maine from Boston. The room itself was especially cold somewhere in the 60s. Most of the women in were wearing their coats. When I asked for the buck a shuck, I was told it was only at the bar. I felt like getting up and going to the bar, but had already ordered food at the table. Had the waiter made an attempt to reconcile this review would have turned positive. There were only four sets of diners and it would’ve been easy enough to get a dozen of the oysters and bring them to the table. Getting the oysters probably would’ve turned the experience positive. My wife’s beef ribs were pretty good. Overall I would’ve expected a much better quantity and quality of seafood for the price. The piano man was a nice touch playing music in the background.
