We just completed an eight day trip through parts of New England and Canada. Of all our dinners, including restaurants in Boston and Montreal, this was by far our favorite meal. The restaurant has a great location beside the harbor, and the building is old coastal Maine. However, the inside of the restaurant is rather plain. By looking at it, you would never assume the quality of the food you'll find here. We started with an incredible Ceasar Salad. The dressing was creamy and delicious, the shaved cheese was plentiful, and the lettuce was fresh and crisp. I had the shrimp and grits (sans the bacon) for my entree, and it was out of this world. The grits were deliciously cheesy, and the cajun seasoning on the shrimp was perfect. It was just the right spice to complement the grits. If we had had another day in Boothbay, I would have gone back the next day and ordered the exact same dish. My husband had the Haddock Risotto, and it was also outstanding. Our server informed us that the chef specializes in risotto, and we agree that she knows exactly what she is doing. Both the fish and risotto were perfectly crafted. We ended the night with the tiaramasu. It was creamy and light. Personally, I prefer my tiaramasu to have a little bolder flavor to it, but it was a great finale to an incredible meal. We would go back in a heartbeat. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes Haddock Risotto

We loved our visit to the Boathouse Bistro. The food was excellent! The service was excellent! We enjoyed our lobster, risotto, and oysters. We would love to come back again and try more of the menu.

This place is the absolute best. The chef is a genius - underrated as far as I'm concerned, as this is some of the most delicious, inspired food in the harbor - if not the best. Plus, the wait staff is always so friendly and laid back. The atmosphere can't be beat. I can safely describe this place as a "haven" - do not miss out on dining here if you have the chance.

I don’t suggest getting the risotto, it was $30 and I was very excited to order it, but there was probably a half a cup of risotto spread out on a shallow bowl to look like more than was given, and the chicken places in the center was average, I wouldn’t even say delicious. Risotto was amazing tasting, but really only had a few scoops of it which was disappointing for $30. Boyfriends fish sandwich was delicious though. Staff was friendly and fast (we went on an off time and got food quickly!) Service Dine in Meal type Brunch Price per person $30–50 Food: 1 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Great food and service with a roof deck on top. It’s a bit pricy but all the restaurants nearby have the same price anyways. Waiters are super friendly. We got a high chair for our toddler.

The Boathouse Bistro is Fabulous in every way! The view is amazing, the food is absolutely mouthwatering …. Everything that we ordered was delicious! I have a onion allergy and the chef made a special risotto dish just for me, I really appreciated that! We loved the oysters - so good. Last but definitely not least, the service is the BEST! Thank you to our server Melissa for making our experience the best ever! If you’re in the area, I highly recommend visiting the Boathouse Bistro.

Wow everything was amazing. Service was fast and friendly. Squash and goat cheese salad was delicious and fresh. Squash was still warm when it was served. Absolutely delicious. We tried the garlic shrimp tapas and they were perfectly cooked. The bread was perfect to soak up the sauce and garlic with. And lastly, we loveeeee haddock Rueben’s and have had 3-4 this year alone. This one took the cake. We opted for blackened haddock over fried haddock and it was PERFECT. So meat and savory and delicious. We will be back as soon as we can!

As always the food thoroughly impressed, though even more impressive was the service. All their tables filled up at the same time and with two waitstaff who doubled at the bar, they managed to keep food coming out quickly from the kitchen. It seemed that all tables always had full drinks and both servers were attentive to every table. Melissa couldn't have been a better server, if you want a perfect meal in Boothbay Harbor this is the place to go!

Our server was amazing and the five stars are because of her. She made us feel welcome and was so attentive. She even explained how the town parking worked. The food and the location were pretty good too. We did not expect to have such a nice meal. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner
