Stayed in Chapman Cottage and at first, didn't realize that there was actually a restaurant on the first floor. Very special and intimate. The menu is not that large and had some very interesting small plates. Didn't realize that options like this were available in the area

We heard that York54 had the best pizza in the area, and we found that to be true. It is VERY small--maybe 6 tables or so. The service was very pleasant and attentive.The pizza was wonderful! The crust was not too thick and perfectly crispy. The toppings (sausage and pepperoni in our case) were perfectly spiced with a wonderful sauce. Also very good was the dill/ranch salad dressing. Highly recommend.

I went to the Shearwater for the first time and sat at the bar. It was late afternoon and quiet, with about a half-dozen people. I took advantage of their happy hour and got a generic white wine. The complementary cheese, crackers and grapes off to the side were a nice touch. I also ordered the fried oyster appetizer, which was good but could have been more generous. When I got the bill, I was surprised to be told that there was a 20% 'service charge' added on, based on what the 'real' cost of the wine would have been without the discount. A tip is supposed to be voluntary and based on the service received. I've never seen this done anywhere else. I can understand it if there's a special function or a large dining group, but during happy hour? It's a tacky thing to do.

I was a little concerned when we walked in, but what this places lacks in atmosphere it makes up for in food. I had a summer salad that was delicious and a bargain for the price. My husband had a sandwich which he said was very good.

We had a very enjoyable lunch. They offered both indoor and outdoor seating. They had a very nice menu-soups, wraps, salads,sandwiches, classic and fancy mac n cheese,drinks and desserts. I had the Summer Berry Salad-mixed greens, fresh blueberries and strawberries, goat cheese, dried cranberries and candied pecans. I added a scoop of tuna salad to It. It was delicious - very fresh and the fresh fruit was outstanding. My husband had the Lobster Mac n Cheese with side salad- he truly enjoyed it. Our granddaughter had a grilled cheese sandwich and home made chips. In addition the staff is friendly and helpful too.

My husband and I stopped at the Lobster Cover for lunch and as soon as we sat down I wanted to go but he was hungry :(. The flies were abundant and busy which for a restaurant isn't a good sign. After placing our order of a beer, soda, native steamed mussels and a lobster roll we were given a small basket of stale bread. My husbands soda came quickly and I finally after 5 minutes flagged down our waitress for my beer, which she forgot about. The mussels arrived but were in more of a water broth, I think someone drank the white wine they were supposed to be cooked in. They lacked flavor of any kind, just bland with boiled down onion chunks and tomatoes. The lobster roll was smothered in mayo :( such a pity to ruin the lobster with that amount of mayo. All in all a waste of a meal and money. The saving grace was my beer and the fries on the lobster roll plate, but I kept thinking how many flies might have already tasted them.As we left we noticed some customers being served on the outdoor deck, funny because that's where I wanted to sit but was told it was closed:(

Docksider is our first stop in Maine for lunch. So disappointed this year not open on our day of arrival, Wednesday. But we were not passing up the opportunity to try again. Without a doubt they have the BEST ale battered haddock I have ever had in Maine. Please do not change the recipe!

Open year round, serving american fare with cultural influences. Featuring an open kitchen with a wood fired grill. Lively, fun bar and casual atmosphere.
Reviewed By DB1977
My wife, two young kids and I eat out often and it seems like at least 75% of restaurants in business are downright awful. That is why we appreciate the Central so much. It is one of the very few restaurants we have come across that is consistently great. The food and service at The Central are always top notch and we know that we will have an excellent meal every time we come here. The only drawback, and it is a tolerable one because the food and service are so good, is that it is a small restaurant and the seating can be tight and the noise a little loud. They do so much business and we hope that plans for expansion are in their future; either here or at a different, larger location. If this place were just a little bigger with more room between customers it would be perfect. As it is it's better than about 98% of other restaurants so we will keep coming back. Our compliments to the chefs and staff. Your team is head and shoulders above most restaurants.

We were staying at the Inn and did not want to go out for dinner. Because it was New Year's Day, they were only doing the late night menu but it was extensive enough to offer many choices. We settled on the Onion Soup and Flatbread Pizza- both were delicious. We also tried the Chocolate Marshmallow Martini and the Salted Caramel Martini - both were wonderful with a slight nod ahead to the Marshmallow one. Very glad we came!
