Stopped in a Sunday morning en route home from a ski trip. Had an amazing Bloody Mary loaded with goodies - oyster for me, and lobster claw for my husband! We each got a lobster roll, which was delicious as well. Our bartender Ethan was so friendly and service was exceptional. $100 (before tip) seemed a bit high for 2 lobster rolls and 2 bloody Mary’s, but overall we were definitely happy we stopped in.

they were so busy - we didn’t get served for over 1 hour. Arrived at 7:30 and didn’t get our first course until 9pm.

Really nice people, super nice people. But the service was slow, food not memorable, appetizers arrived without napkins or utensils. Had to ask. Caesar salad wet, no flavor hardly any dressing lots of crazy breadcrumbs on top (?). I think this place would be great for happy hour and maybe some appetizers. They had a cool igloo like situation outside for the cold. Looked really fun. As I said super nice people, but we probably won’t be back

It was freezing inside the restaurant because they were seating people outside and would leave the door open. It also seemed chaotic with everyone running around - it seemed under staff but Paul our server was awesome.

Noise level was terrible. It was difficult to have a conversion because of the table next to us with 6 men talking at the same time. The food was excellent but the timing was too long between courses.

We came for Maine Restaurant Week because Boone's has long been a favorite of ours. We considered eating outside in one of their sheltered/heated options, but decided to eat inside in the main dining room. We felt very comfortable with their adherence to Covid-19 precautions - everyone in face coverings, good distance between tables and parties, etc.

The food was excellent. I enjoyed the MRW menu and had ceasar salad, blackened salmon, and the lava cake. My spouse had a popover and the filet mignon. Everything was cooked perfectly and we enjoyed our evening.

Located on a wharf in Portland, Boone's has great ambience for those who, like us, enjoy a casual atmosphere with fabulous food. Popovers are on the menu, what more can I say? The homemade blueberry jam that they serve with them is truly amazing and I wish they would sell it in big jars. Met the owner because we had a new server who was a bit slow and she came over to check on us. My drink was very late in arriving and the owner (wish I knew her name) came over and brought it to me with an apology and she paid for it. All of our food was fantastic and we can't wait to come back to ME to stop by! Highly recommend!!!

Oysters were delightful.. breakfast was standard.. great selection of Mimosas and bloody Mary's.. and service was spectacular.. (thanks Ethan) great overall experience!

Food is excellent, service is friendly and not overbearing but prompt. Great value in an excellent location!

Services was phenomenal.. kind, funny, and prompt. Great mimosa and bloody Mary selection and oysters are delicious!

My 4th or 5th time at boone's, this time on an enclosed outside deck. Again the food was tasty and service attentive, quick, and friendly.

Really nice place, great service, a little heavy on the price but enjoyed the experience.

I'm not too sure what to say here, I don't ever leave reviews for restaurants but me and my girlfriends experience was for sure a one a kind. We made reservations at Boones Fish House & Oyster Room for our 7 year anniversary at 3 pm SPECIFICALLY because we were excited to try their 5$ Proseccos & appetizers, and 1.25$ oysters. To start off our dinner experience, we had to wait over 10 minutes for a RESERVED table. We didn't really care to much about that to be honest though. We sat down & browsed through our menus & were ready to order after 5 minutes. Our server was very polite & took our first order of drinks, a dozen oysters, and an order of calamari. When she brought out our first set of drinks she took down the rest of our order. Our oysters came out but we never received our calamari until asking about them once our entrees had already been served. We then had to wait over 20 minutes for our second round of drinks that we had to ask for twice. Then to top it off our bill didn't include ANY of the happy hour specials. We had to mention it to our server then she corrected it PARTIALLY. She gave us 5$ proseccos, 5$ mussels, & never discounted the calamari like it is advertised on their happy hour menu. We felt like we had already asked twice for everything so we just paid our bill & went on our way. The one star is simply due to their food being good but we can't even understand how & why the service was the why it was. My girlfriend & I have both worked in the restaurant business & the service was not acceptable. Water wasn't refilled once, forgotten appetizer, reminded twice for drinks, & never fully compensated for the happy hour deals. Very sad experience for our anniversary :/

We’ve been here a few times before and they never disappoint! Our server tonight Ethan was amazing and the seafood is always delicious and fresh! We make sure to dine there every time we’re in Portland! It’s a must try!

We randomly chose Boones and couldn’t have been more delighted! Food was delicious - not a spec left on anyone’s plate and the waiter was so informative and accommodating!

Highly recommend!! The food was incredible, service fantastic and super friendly. Will be a returning customer. Best tenderloin ever! Cheesecake was met in your mouth good. So glad I discovered Boone's.

We had to wait at the bar area upstairs for quite a while. Meanwhile there was at least 6 clean tables wide open and we had a reservation. The food was pretty great, although the portions were small for what you pay. The biggest issue was the fact that there was an extremely loud and rowdy table next to us. Nothing was done by the wait staff. I could hear other tables complain as well. Made for a poor dining experience.

Great Valentines Day celebration

My husband and I had Valentine's dinner at Boones and it was wonderful. The food is absolutely delicious, we loved the clam chowder, and he had the stuffed lobster and i had stuffed haddock and both were great options! Highly recommend

The food was fantastic. Our waiter Ethan was friendly and let us take our time in ordering.

My wife’s fish was undercooked

We were there for Valentine’s Day. Staff was super friendly and attentive. We got oysters...so delicious! The ambience was great, they have a nice seating area with fireplace..very quiet and comfortable. We got the scallops in bacon... so good! The baked stuff lobster was delicious but not worth the $48. Everything else was incredible! Drinks were good. Overall great experience and heading back now for happy hour and oysters!

Good food but small portions.

Warm, cozy ambiance. Terrific food. Efficient but unobtrusive service.

Had a great evening dining with my husband. Food was perfect. Waitress was very nice.

We were initially seated near the bar which was very noisy, we requested and were moved away from the bar to a table by the fireplace. It was very nice but still a bit loud due to the acoustics of the room. Our server was excellent and handled a few special requests easily. We enjoyed our evening and will definitely be back.

Unfortunately we arrived for our 10:30am reservation on Saturday to find no one in sight. Turns out they opened at 11:30am. Not sure why the option to book a 10:30 reservation was there if they weren’t open.

The food was hands down the best seafood I have ever had. If you are not a seafood fan there are only a few options for you to eat. Very little variety with their signature cocktails.

Muy buen lugar para sentirse local, la langosta de la casa “boones” muy buena y no te complica mucho. Buena carta de vinos.

Delicious, fresh food that can’t be beat. The staff was friendly and helpful, and it made the meal a great experience. We also appreciated that they were taking the new compliance rules seriously, and we felt safe and comfortable while dining.

This is our third time here and it was amazing. Food drinks staff all wonderful. Thank you so much. Visiting from Florida

Very good, enjoyed the atmosphere. Menu had choices even if you don’t want seafood.

So happy to safely sit outside and enjoy happy hour!

Prompt courteous greeting. Waitress was super cool and attentive. Food was on point. We all agreed that the Fish sandwich, burger and chicken sandwich were excellent. The fireplace and cozy interior added to an awesome experience. We will be back!

We loved Boone’s! We celebrated my boyfriend’s birthday there. Staff were so friendly and accommodating! They gave us a really nice table for the occasion, and we had Ethan as our server. We both loved our meals! We got a popover to split which was yummy with the blueberry jam. I got the 3 course dinner with the half baked lobster which was outstanding. My boyfriend got salmon and said it was one of the best plates he got out. Thank you Boone’s and staff on making our night special!

Great service and good food!

Loved the appetizers and dessert, dinner was good. Great vibe. Beautifully decorated, lighting, fireplace and cozy lounge area. The tables were well separated due to Covid. Would love to go back someday to enjoy the bar and cozy fireplace area.

New Years Eve dinner at one of our fav places to eat in Portland!!

Good happy food, a little expensive

Weeks ago I had made a reservation here for 645pm but moved it up last minute to 4pm since I was done with my walk and getting cold and hungry. Once I was seated (at a six person table) I realized that it was still happy hour for another hour. Needless to say that fact influenced my ordering decisions 😂 $1 oysters that are usually $3.95 each? Ok I'll try oysters for the first time, gimme five of them. Some of the best calamari I've ever had and another new experience of steamed buns filled with shrimp. Delightful!
