Somehow we've been latecomers to NBO but oh boy is it a go to now. Love this place. Excellent food. Great bar. Great service. No pretense. Just simply great! Service Dine in Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Maybe this was an off night given all the positive reviews, but the food was truly horrible - virtually inedible. The only good thing were the raw oysters, which were wonderful. But the fried full belly clams were inedible - thick batter that was pale and tough. Haddock chowder that was thin, under seasoned and essentially some watery milk with a few potatoes and somewhere a piece or two of haddock. The chowder was served with a fully raw biscuit, brown on the outside with a totally uncooked inside. For the first time ever, I returned the clams, and ordered a hamburger instead. Thin bit of beef, very salty and also virtually inedible. The waitresses were pleasant, but the food - no!

North Beacon Oyster in Rockland on Penobscot Bay is an oasis in the off season of local oysters. Its also an oasis of great service and great food overall. Conveniently located on Main Street, the décor is a relaxed vibe for a smallish place. I choose to sit at the bar as a solo diner. The bartender was a major contributor to a great meal. Kim was able to offer up wine pairings for all my courses which were intelligent and spot on. I had the oysters (the Jalapeno and Cucumber mignonette was brilliant) , scallop crudo and duck. All were great. One comment was that the presentation of the duck was poorly made. The crudo looked great and delicate but the duck plating didnt have so much skill. The use of cauliflower, also white, with the polenta, and then a few sprigs or arugula did not do it justice, the pomegranate seeds add flavor and some color but still overall it looked crude. All that said I would certainly come back and look forward to it. Thank you for a great meal and experience. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
