We happened upon this gem purely by happenstance after staying within walking distance and having it recommend by the owner of our hotel. Prior to going I had read the negative reviews as I often focus on. Our first observation was that the parking lot was full on a Monday night off-season. I had noted that a couple of reviewers had suggested that the lobster bisque was bland and that was where we started our meal. The bisque was delightful. I had the lobster pie and the entire meal was very good. Other reviewers had noted that the vegetables were almost raw and over spiced. They weren’t heavily cooked but the way people actually service fresh vegetables nowadays and definitely not over spiced. Being an old fashioned clean your plate kind of guy I had no problem finishing the task and my barometer for exceptional food is the mashed potatoes. They were great and I could have finished a double helping. It’s hard to question whether the reviews from last year may have been due to different ownership but judging from the big crowd I would doubt there ever was a change in ownership or management style. I’ll add a picture of my check for reference. We are planning to come back tomorrow so I can try the non-seafood meatloaf dinner.

We decided to stop in Ogunquit on our way back home from a road trip to check out the town and to have dinner. PROS: Very busy, but did get seating almost right away, waitress was nice, clam chowder was good and the mixed drink was good.....but entree wise, maybe we should have just stuck to the steamed lobster! CONS: ordered a cheeseburger (for my 11 year old) asked for medium and that came out cooked well done. Another entree was baked Haddock with a Ritz Cracker topping, the topping was soggy...no crunchiness to it and it made bites with it have a sweet flavor (I know, this would be personal preference). I ordered the lobster roll (which I've ordered damn near everyday...in Provincetown MA, Bar Harbor ME and now Ogunquit). I like the classic style, but this was caked with mayo. You didn't taste any celery, or much of the lobster, all you tasted was mayo. The outside of the roll itself was very crunchy, while the inside was very soggy because of all the mayo. The sides it came with was coleslaw (good) and potato chips. Unfortunately for $38, I got a mayo roll, coleslaw and bagged chips.

Food was delicious!!! I had the scallops with mashed potatoes and veggie of the day which was a medley (fresh green beans w/ zucchini). The scallops were large and I was given a lot of them. I think this dish was $26. For the amount of scallops you get it was so worth it! In my picture I had already eaten some of everything so it really doesn't show all that was served. Whole family loved it. Waitress Mackenzie was great, very friendly and great personality. Only negative was when we were waiting for our name to be called in, they called 2-3 groups of other people that arrived after us. The girl at the door admitted she accidentally skipped over us, but did apologize. The place is busy at dinner time, expect to wait around 30 minutes before you get seated. We waited 40 to 45 minutes because we were skipped over. Still highly recommended though very friendly and awesome food.

The BEST lobsters I've ever had in my life! It's a must-visit place! The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The food is absolutely out-of-this-world delicious! I've always thought that Maine lobsters tasted better, but the Lobster pound has a special way of cooking it too. They cook them outside in those huge pots filled with the sea water. They have lines running down to the ocean to pump up the water. Also, try raspberry margaritas, they are delicious! They have the most beautiful lot and they have lots of seating outside.
