Recently, the Hungrygals visited a local eatery with a visiting relative from New Jersey, who also happens to possess a grand fondness for good food. With the rain a constant event during the month of June, what could be better activity than going out to eat? And so we decided to take our guest out for some good ol' Maine seafood!
Joe's Boathouse was our restaurant of choice. We'd recommend this establishment, even if the food was mediocre--and it isn't! The view of the harbor is great, and the ambience and service are just as good. Strong accent on seafood, of course, and we tried different dishes to everyone's satisfaction.
First, we split a ceasar salad 3 ways, and the kitchen was gracious enough to divide the salad into 3 separate dishes for dining ease; a nice touch. The salad was crisp, the dressing tasty. Next, we enjoyed two entrees - the Lemon Curry Scallops (scallops sauteed in lemon & curry and served over rice noodles) and the Ocean Catch Saute (mussels, scallops, haddock and shrimp sauteed in a marinara and served over pasta). Both dishes were outstanding, and we barely were able to save enough for our 4-legged assistants who were waiting at home! But we managed to bring them a few morsels, which they gobbled up instantly.
All of the lunch entrees are affordable, in the $10-$14 range. Ours were about mid-level in price.
A great place to take guests "from away" for a great Maine lunch...even if its raining. Rating: three thumbs up (thanks to our special guest) and two paws up!!
