Mine Oyster is an oceanfront restaurant in Boothbay Harbor, Maine.

.

.

It’s large, two storied with multiple dining rooms, a raw bar and a dance floor. …

.

.

There are three outdoor seating areas. If you’ve been here before, you know to walk upstairs, take a right, and find the door behind the bar.

.

.

It’s rustic, but has the best views in the harbor.

.

.

Ahhh…

.

.

Summer, on the coast of Maine.

It doesn’t get much better than this.

We hadn’t been to the Oyster for a while so we were thrilled to see the new, improved and much enlarged menu(s).

Blueberry mojito?

.

.

Don’t mind if I do.

Mine Oyster’s food used to be alright, but nothing rave worthy. Thankfully that’s changed.

.

.

Our appetizers of herb butter basted grilled scallops on saffron creamed corn with crispy prosciutto as well as the jerk shrimp with hot honey were… in a word… amazing.

.

.

Tequila sunrise? Why not.

.

.

Along with the stunning views…

.

.

Came my husband’s lobster with saffron cream and fresh basil over fettuccini. Ooh la la! Rich, decadent and divine.

.

.

For me? A right regular fry up done to perfection. Clams and jumbo shrimp with batter as light and crisp as the ocean air.

.

.

If you’re ever in the area… make a beeline here.
