A great part of Portland, especially for seafood lovers. I was from out of town visiting & got the Lobster Dinner, came with Steamer Clams & a piece of corn on the cob. Awesome experience all around, and great prices!

I had the Lobster BLT and Baker's Dozen Ostyers. Both were great. I still am at a loss on how potato chips go with expensive seafood but seems to be a regional thing. Lobster and a bag of store bought potato chips seems to be the norm.
