Gift Tips
- Use a gift card to try signature lobster dishes like the Lazy Lobster or lobster mac and cheese — both are popular for generous lobster portions.
- Ask for a table on the outdoor deck when weather allows for water views of Casco Bay; arrive early if you want patio seating since outdoor spots aren’t reservable.
- Order bacon-wrapped scallops as an appetizer — they’re frequently recommended and pair well with a crisp white wine.
- If someone in your party is sensitive to motion or prone to seasickness, request an interior table away from large windows to reduce the feeling of movement.
- Bring your parking ticket and have the host validate it after dining to take advantage of the restaurant’s parking validation.
- If you enjoy classic seafood, the lobster stew, mussels, and seafood broil are strong choices.
- Ask about the seafood broil or broiled seafood platter if you want a mix of shrimp, scallops, haddock, and lobster.
