About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Lively
Mile Marker One waterfront restaurant offers four season indoor dining and igloo dining on the marina with stunning views of fishing boats, some you'll recognize from television. We offer the freshest seafood, locally sourced direct from fishermen. The grass fed beef is amazing and you're never going to leave our restaurant hungry. We have fresh local clams, fresh local lobster, hake, halibut, and a stunning lobster grilled cheese sandwich with sage butter. We're about friends, family, fun and we even have music some Wednesdays. Local bartenders are always coming up with new drinks like our signature "Purple Rain." We host the Blue Fin Blowout each year in July.

    Was really hoping and expecting to have a better experience. The first course was subpar with the lobster bisque having no actual lobster in it and the stuffed avocado being so hard you really needed to use your knife to cut through it. The second course was an improvement which was lobster Mac and cheese and the seafood in the pineapple. The service needs improvement. Clearly, young students are used here for staff but they need more training for a Saturday night rush. Initially, we were brought over to a dirty table that needed to be turned over while we awkwardly sat there. Our orders were walked past us several times, and one of the employees delivering food (not a waiter) was walking around asking patrons, "is this yours?" not knowing where to bring the order. Waterfront views are beautiful but will not go back - too much money spent for the frustration.

    Had drinks and apps on Bridge Deck. Tom and Miles were very accommodating! Music was nice. Although it was busy, it was not chaotic! Dinner was indoors. Beautiful view of marina. Food was excellent - always came out hot - even during the height of service!

    We called in advance to book a table for 5. We arrived and had been shown a table for 4, then walked around for a while in search of a larger table, then finally settled at the original table with an extra chair. The food was good, except the steak tips were a bit too sweet, and lobster bisque too salty - as is usual for it.

    Wonderful place; we lucked out by opting to sit indoors and enjoyed a quiet lunch in great ambiance

    The food was excellent, our waitress, Lindsey, is the best and, of course, you can't beat the view of the river and sunset.

    Amazing food and amazing service! Our waitress Nina went out of her way in every aspect. The food was delicious and the wait staff was great with my daughters who had celiac disease. They offered amazing gf food. Couldn’t say any more good things!

    Our 2nd time here and it did not disappoint. We asked for ocean’s edge table and delighted our request was met. Service, food, and ambiance were perfect. I highly recommend.
