Waves Restaurant — Restaurant in Boothbay Harbor

We came in for breakfast a week before the restaurant closes for the season, maybe that's why it wasn't very good. The decor is bland, not a lot of decoration, the bathroom is not fat person friendly, if you are a bigger person you'll be kissing the door when you close it, that's how small the bathroom is. There are no tables, only booths. Parking is horrible but that's not the restaurants fault, that's just location, but there's street parking and you can park across the street at Pier 7 but they ask you to donate $5.00. This is not wheelchair friendly, you can't even move a wheelchair around the restaurant, it's a very small place. Our server took a bit to warm up to, while he was polite he wasn't very observant, towards the end of the meal I started to like him but hopefully he's more attentive in the summer months. Prices were pretty good, for a tourist restaurant the prices were very reasonable. The menu was average but at least not overbearing. The booths are not fat person friendly either. I saw they had the breakfast banana split, almost got it, it was tempting. They accept debit/credit and cash.

I got the corn beef hash eggs benedict. That's nobody's fault but my own, I should have just gotten ham like it normally comes with. I thought it was terrible but everyone has different taste buds. The home fries were amazing, absolutely loved it. I had rye toast, very good. The eggs benedict was actually very filling regardless. My husband got ebb tide. Which was two eggs, french toast or pancakes, he upgraded to stuffed french toast, home fries and sausage and white toast. His favorite was the stuffed french toast. Just because I rated this a three and wasn't completely happy doesn't mean other people won't like this place, everyone is different, I still absolutely recommend anyone to try it, but if your a bigger person your gonna have struggles here. Try the breakfast banana split, it looks really good. Will still come back during the summer to try it...

If you want healthy good food this is your place. Had an amazingly delicious breakfast with the family and all happy bellies after and good before our cruise. The banana pancakes are delicious with real banana slices you can feel and taste in it with chunks of bananas baked within the bread to enjoy the savory taste of banana in each bite. The corned beef hash was melt in your mouth soft and easy to chew moist and delicious with flavor w good peppers. Only thing that threw me off was large chunks of potatoes because I'm used to hashed potatoes being thinly sliced like from a cheese grator but thick thin slices more easily eaten and easier to get the perfect crisp. My husband enjoyed his poached eggs and the organic coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice with peel next store while pricey but worth the delicousness. If in the area ever again I would come back for the food. However it is a tiny crammed place like sitting next to strangers moving in and out to get out and long waits to get in but its worth it. Server was super nice and friendly but clearly understaffed and felt bad for her. She shone with patience.

Atmosphere is less due to wait, lack of space, and hard to get parking but is completely out of their power so cant complain about something out of their control.

Location: This is on a main tourist part of area so parrel side street parking us limited 2 hours free if can find a spot or have to pay for a parking spot. It is a very hard place to find a long term parking spot in August mid week during work hours.

Lots of shopping and places to eat nearby and the beautiful...

Deeply Disappointment for a place with a 4.8 rating. First thing is when serving tea, you should have the hot water separate so it can be poured over your tea bag. The place was jam packed and we had high hopes for this place based on the reviews. We were given coffee and tea but no utensils. It took a very long time for the utensils to come out and I’ll note that as we were leaving the lady across from us had to use her pen to stir her coffee. The potatoes were so greasy you could taste nothing but saturated oil and literally feel it sliding down your throat. The bacon was slightly over done and it gave me greasy coated lips. My girlfriends felt that she could easily make better over medium eggs at home that had more flavor. The wait staff was very friendly but so overwhelmed they didn’t have time to notice anything like three customers that didn’t touch their potatoes. At that point, a server should stop and ask the clientele if there is something wrong when three different people are not eating their potatoes. I asked if they were short staffed and I was told this is a normal Sunday and the normal staffing. I don’t want to end on a bad note so I’ll end with letting you know my lobster benedict was probably top five all-time best tasting...
