At the entrance of the restaurant was a gift shop, but I liked the gift shop in Solier Park, across the street, better. The restaurant is neat and clean, with the usual simple decor of remote seacoast restaurants, a nice fireplace for the cooler weather, and, best of all, great views of the lighthouse and the seacoast from all the windows.

Delectable choices of exciting seafood dinners on the menu resulted with Bob choosing Fox’s Fried Seafood Combination Platte, and I thought I’d try Lazy Lobster Saute, because I wouldn‘t have to clean the lobster out of the shell. As we waited for our dinners, we were served great coffee, warm rolls wrapped in paper napkins, and our salads that came with our dinners. My Caesar salad was made with crisp, fresh Romaine lettuce and was covered with delicious dressing and served with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Bob’s attractive garden salad consisted of Julienne carrots, slices of green peppers, and pieces of crisp lettuce.

Lobster traps were visible in the ocean outside our window. They were color-coded so the owners could identify them when they came to collect the lobsters. We could see the fishing boats and lobster boats at work. Seating was available downstairs only, although there was more seating on the second floor, with a even more fantastic view of the lighthouse and the ocean beyond. It was too early for the dinner crowd.

Bob’s fried clams, scallops, and shrimp were crisp and juicy, served with a baked potato. My lobster was in its own juice and wonderfully fresh. I could tell how fresh by how easy it was to chew--it was definitely fresh and tasty. My waitress agreed to substitute broccoli for the potato. We had a generous piece of wild Maine blueberry pie for desert.

The dinners were a little pricey, but the atmosphere was worth it.
