Okay, so I wanted to find the best eats in Boothbay, right? Here’s how it all went down.
First off, I started by hitting up the internet, doing some basic searches on the best restaurants in this area. I figured I’d check out some reviews and see what people were saying.

Checking Out the Options
I browsed through a bunch of websites and blogs, noting down places that got mentioned a lot or had really good ratings. I also looked at what kind of food they served – I was in the mood for seafood, being in a coastal town and all.
- Ports of Italy: Seemed to have a nice Italian vibe, good for a fancy dinner.
- Boathouse Bistro: Looked like a good spot for some classic seafood dishes.
- Carriage House Restaurant: This one had great reviews for a mix of everything.
- Mine Oyster: Sounded perfect for some fresh oysters and a casual meal.
Narrowing It Down
After getting a good list, I decided to narrow it down based on what I felt like eating that day. I wanted something not too fancy but still really tasty. I ruled out the Italian place for another time and focused on the seafood options.
I compared the menus and checked if they had any dishes that really stood out. Boathouse Bistro and Mine Oyster both seemed like strong contenders. I also looked at the locations – I preferred somewhere with a nice view, maybe by the water.
Making the Decision
In the end, I went with Mine Oyster. It had great reviews for fresh seafood, the prices were reasonable, and it was right by the harbor. Sounded like the perfect spot to enjoy a meal and the view.
I headed over there, and it was just as good as I hoped. The oysters were super fresh, and I also tried their lobster roll – amazing! The atmosphere was laid-back, and the view of the harbor was just what I wanted. I ended up taking a bunch of photos, the food and the view were too good to pass up.
So, that’s how I found one of the best restaurants in Boothbay. It was a mix of online research, checking out menus, and just going with what felt right. Definitely recommend Mine Oyster if you’re ever in town!
