Salty Stag - Boothbay Harbor

The music is a bit loud and uncharacteristic for a tavern on a oceanfront inn. our server was not terribly polished and didn't seem to know the menu well - offered to add speck to a flatbread with speck (and extra charge us for it). the restaurant has an intimate publikum of guest and we felt that our experience reflects this. overall not great and we did not return to lunch or dinner during our stay, only cocktails and breakfast.

Everything was just perfect but if you are an adult looking for an adult dinner you may want to eat at the main restaurant. There were too many kids eating there at their own table undersupervised. Besides that the wine was good, the food excellent with a lovely view and good service.

This was our first time there. We had a little trouble finding the place so you need more signs around the property. We had noticed a table next to us that got an appetizer and we didn't so we asked what it was? We were told chips and sour cream and onion. He asked if we wanted some and we said no since we don't eat that stuff. They brought it anyway so we had to send it back. Waiters need to pay attention better. Other than that, very nice.

Great food! Approachable menu with incredible flavor. The atmosphere is casual, but it is comfortable and the staff are very friendly. Worth a visit!

I had eaten at this restaurant a couple of years ago while staying at SPI and had a wonderful experience! Found out the hard way that it’s under new management. Food was good but service was horrific! Wasn’t crowded (even for it being July 4th), but drinks from bar weren’t even close to being what we ordered and bartender had zero customer service skills. And the 4 of us had finished our entire meals before my husband’s salad even arrived. He finally just told them to cancel his order. Even after restaurant manager had to sign off on that, she didn’t come ask what they could do to improve our experience or anything. I searched HER out st the end of the meal to let her know the ways that the service was a complete fail. She was slightly apologetic, but I felt that she was just in over her head.
