Overall the food is fantastic.The best tasting lobster I have had. I only wish they would change the blueberry cake recipe (this one is always super dry). I know they have been using the same recipe over the years but sometimes a change is good. Everything else is great. The hospitality is perfect and we always feel appreciated on the... More

We've been going to Boothbay Harbor for many years. This past summer we finally decided to take some visiting friends out for a cabbage island clam bake. We had a great time. We took the water bus from Boothbay Harbor out to Cabbage Island. When I say water bus, I mean it. Rows of bench seats in a darkened bus... More

We loved the trip to Cabbage Island. Met both of the owners and they were most gracious while explaining life on the island and thier approach to taking care of guests. The amount of food is a bit too much. You cannot leave the island and say you are hungry. The boat ride was very senic. It was a great... More

This really is a special Maine treat - but not perfect. Just set your expectations. We've been there about a dozen times over the years, taking friends and family, and will be going again. The corn on the cob is definitely over cooked, soft and mushy. In fact, everything is slightly over steamed. They need to add the corn to... More
