Iâll tell you this place had the most fresh local seafood we ate in Boothbay. We had lobster roll, full steamed lobsters, and clam chowder with drinks. Pick your live lobster or clams and they cook them for you. You see the fisherman bringing their catch. It was wonderful. Amazing prices. Delicious food. We could not ask for more. It is not a fancy restaurant but the food was certainly it better than anywhere we went. It was the best.

We have visited Kalers several times over the years and always look forward to a return visit. We stopped by for lunch during a recent stay. We sat at the bar & enjoyed a couple of beers but our food took forever and the mussels arrived. We also had the crab dip which was great. We will visit again as we love the atmosphere and friendly staff- just an off day.

Great choice for some Maine favorites along with a number of other tasty choices. We enjoyed shrimp and grits with a lovely tomato relish, and salmon over sweet pea risotto. Entire staff is efficient, friendly, seem to enjoy being there. Pretty setting on the harbor.

After a full day of meandering along the Maine coast and enjoying the peak fall foliage, we randomly ended up at Brown's Restaurant for dinner. We were surprised that the Sunday of Columbus Day weekend was the last day they were open for the season. The restaurant was very busy but well staffed and our server was attentive and prompt. We both got the twin lobster dinner (with salad and baked potato) and shared a bowl of clam chowder. All was delicious. We had a lovely dinner and evening.

We were here on a Sunday night. Sat outside on the top deck that overlooks the harbor, beautiful view. The waitstaff was attentive, helpful. We ordered a beer and both of us had the Risotto dish with lobster, scalops and shrimp, the bowl was huge, flavorful and had shaved parmesan reggiano on top, to die for. So big I couldn't finish mine. Cost was what it should be for the seafood dish. We'd go back.

Even though we didnât have a reservation, we were able to get a table very quickly. After a dinner of amazing lamb shanks, we ordered tiramisu to share for dessert. Our waitress brought it with a candle, and I was serenaded with âhappy birthday!â It was a wonderful way to celebrate my special day!

My wife and I went on the Cabbage Island Clambake this week and had a great time. This family activity includes a one hour tour of the island and then a mid afternoon meal which includes two lobsters, steamed clams, vegetables and dessert. We ate on outside picnic tables overlooking the bay. The staff is very friendly and efficient.
