And we’re walking….
.

.
Along one of the prettiest stretches of Maine coast.
.

.
Many private homes line the Cliff Walk and while they all have stunning views, I can’t say I’d want a constant throng of tourists marching past my back door every day.
.

.
A quick video to give you a feel for the place.
.
.
When you near the end of the 1.25 mile stroll you enter Perkins Cove.
.

.
Once a thriving artists colony…
.

.
It now houses two waterfront restaurants and a large parking lot.
.

.
We took advantage of the former, Jackie’s Too.
.

.
Our table was perfect.
.

.
The basil lemonade? To die for.
.

.
Unfortunately the chowder was sub par. Creamy and clam filled, but completely bland and flavorless.
.

.
Husband had tiny and completely over cooked soggy mussels while I fought my way through a husk filled Caesar salad with dried out grilled chicken. $112 later we vowed never to return… to eat. The bar had a great view and the cocktail was fabulous.
.

.
Fueled up, we turned around and headed back to the Cliff Walk.
To be continued….

What a shame…….overcooked mussels are a waste of great seafood. The view however, more than spectacular 🤩

I thought I heard it somewhere that clams, oysters, mussels and such were only good in months with an “R”. Can’t say for sure. but I do know there’s not much worse than a bowl full of manky mussels. I ate a funky fried clam in Portland and it almost killed me, so there might be that. I’ve gotta say that the view is positively spectacular. Cathy’s starting to get that look.

He eats mussels practically year long up here. These were just horribly prepared. Shame the food was awful, it’s a fabulous spot.

Seems like you haven’t had much luck with your food adventures lately. Too bad. The dishes always look good, at least!
What, pray tell, is in a Mainer Margarita?
