The Maine Catch

“This was our second dinner in Ogunquit. It was right down the road from our hotel so it was very convenient. We walked in for our 7 PM reservation and we had to wait a few minutes, but that wasn’t a big deal. Later on the host, let us know that they were very shortstaffed and asked us for some patience. She was very nice and we weren’t in a hurry anyway so it was no big deal. The restaurant is a very cool space, we sat in a room that was like a rustic barn. Joshua came over and introduced himself as our server and was very attentive. We both started out with glasses of wine. My partner had a little neck clams to start with and I had the beet salad. Both were very good. For an entrée he had the lobster risotto and I had the chicken au poivre. Each of our entrées were very good. Even though they were shortstaffed dinner went pretty quick. Would have liked to linger a little longer, but they closed at 8:30 last night. If you’re staying on Shore Road this is a very convenient restaurant to walk to. The restaurant also has a parking lot and there were a few spaces when we arrived last night. There isn’t much street parking and you’re only other alternative is to park in a paid lot. The lot is paid until 9 PM.”

“The Maine Catch provided one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. We visited with specific dietary needs—my girlfriend required a strictly pureed diet following stomach surgery—and our expectations were far exceeded. **Service and Care** After noting the restriction on our online reservation, Alexa proactively called us to clarify preferences and ensure the menu was tailored to her needs. Upon arrival, the staff treated us with incredible kindness, even confirming the food consistency before serving. A massive shout-out to **Alexa**, who transformed what is normally a stressful outing into a beautiful, seamless experience. **The Food** The quality was phenomenal. Even the pureed spinach and mashed potatoes were flavorful and perfectly textured. The lobster risotto was cooked to perfection and was easily one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten. **Verdict** The Maine Catch offers a fine-dining level of service and flavor with a comfortable, casual atmosphere. Their attention to detail and genuine care for guests is unmatched. **5/5 stars** — worth every cent.”

“An absolute gem in Ogunquit, the seafood is as fresh as it gets, and flavor of the dishes are amazing. We had oysters, crab cake, Brussels, lobster risotto and the seafood Newburg. While everything is delicious, the Newburg gets a special shoutout for the unique flavor profile, would come back just for that! Our server Drew was attentive and had spot on recommendations. This is a must visit spot, we can’t wait to be back!”

“We had a delicious meal. Our waitress was so very nice. I have a gluten allergy and I just asked about the things I wanted and she was very knowledgeable and helpful, I had the grilled scallops and omg they were amazing. My husband loved the salmon and his side of cornbread.”

“We ate at the Maine Catch for Father’s Day this weekend, and everything was perfect! The weather was nice, so we sat outside on the Patio with our dog Reggie… we were surrounded by beautiful flowers and the decor was great. We each had a cocktail, and that was delicious. Next, we had the Shrimp Cocktail appetizer, and it was the best we’ve ever had. The Shrimp were huge, cooked perfectly and the cocktail sauce with extra horseradish on the side was spot on. Our entrees were the Baked Haddock (I substituted broccoli for the rice with no questions asked) and my husband’s Scallops were seared perfectly and enormous. The plating was beautiful and the service was excellent. Couldn’t have had a better meal anywhere, in Maine or in Boston. Can’t wait to come back again!”
