Mile Marker One waterfront restaurant offers four season indoor dining and igloo dining on the marina with stunning views of fishing boats, some you'll recognize from television. We offer the freshest seafood, locally sourced direct from fishermen. The grass fed beef is amazing and you're never going to leave our restaurant hungry. We have fresh local clams, fresh local lobster, hake, halibut, and a stunning lobster grilled cheese sandwich with sage butter. We're about friends, family, fun and we even have music some Wednesdays. Local bartenders are always coming up with new drinks like our signature "Purple Rain." We host the Blue Fin Blowout each year in July.

Raw oysters were delicious. The shrimp cocktail was delicious and the 4 shrimp were HUGE! We were served the wrong drink but they made it right when we asked about it. The shrimp and lobster scampi were amazing on a bed of fresh fettuccine. Extensive drink menu. We both decided to drink our dessert — Irish coffee and a pistachio martini that is one of the best drinks I’ve had in a long time!! The igloo was very comfortable, temperature was easily regulated and they had extra blankets for a wrap or lap, if you felt like it was needed. Not cheap but I think it was worth it for the quality, quantity and overall atmosphere. (I’ve dined here in the summer when it is very busy and this is a totally different vibe. Both are excellent.)

When we first arrived it was very warm and the staff was very helpful turning off the heat and turning on a fan, allowing us to open the windows and door. It was a beautiful sunny morning. Have no fear if it is cool, the igloos can be very warm! Our server was very attentive and the food was excellent. We did notice they no longer have the M1M breakfast sandwich which was disappointing and all of us ordered lunch food and everyone was pleased. The only negative would be the cost at $15 a head to sit outside was steep and because of that we will be waiting until summer to return.

Five courses with choices for each. Enjoyed the music too. Only issue was it was really cold out and coming through the glass. Will be a perfect spot when the warmer weather is here.

Would definitely recommend bringing sunglasses otherwise temperatures in the igloo were perfect. Our server, Yuri (sp?) was lovely despite having to go back and forth in the frigid temperatures. We would recommend perhaps installing a covered portal so the servers are protected not just from the cold but especially the wind
