    We had 4 people in an igloo. So much fun and great service. The heater keeps you warm and they have great music playing. The food is some of the best seafood I’ve ever had. Worth the drive for us! We will be back.

    The food was very overpriced. Fish and chips cost 29.00. Have never, anywhere paid that much. The shoestring fries were soggy. The fish was not thick like excellent fish and chips is. Extremely disappointing. The wine was overpriced. Sides cost an insane 10.00. Would never come back. Previously it was a good restaurant.

    We reserved the igloo experience which was outstanding. Our igloo sat 4 and was right next to the water so you could see water and boats. The service was outstanding with our waiter being very attentive and friendly. The drinks and food were excellent and met my expectations. Overall it’s a great experience that you should definitely try.

    Totally recommend the igloo experience. Great food and wonderful service with a nice relaxing view of water, boats and ducks swimming in the water. My colleague was from out of town but not near good seafood so she thoroughly enjoyed the lobster and the oysters. As someone that grew up helping pull up lobster traps I was happy to skip the lobster options and enjoy the fresh haddock. Thanks for the really wonderful time.

    Ate in one of the private outdoor igloos next to the marina--so much fun! Well heated, quiet, loved the music played through speakers. Seafood stuffed pineapple cooked to perfection, horse radish crusted haddock on a bed of herbed mashed was okay--my husband said the flavors were not well balanced, kids menu has typical fare (Mac n cheese is cavatappi pasta with adult style melted cheeses), our server Nina was great, dinner was very expensive but for a special occasion it was worth it, portions including those for dessert were huge!

    We visited for a brunch birthday celebration. Location is nice (plenty of parking, view of the Annisquam), and we were seated by a window. Service was excellent and the ambiance was friendly and professional. The food was good. We had hoped for a few more breakfast items (the menu leaned toward lunch), such as croissants and fruit, but it was all enjoyable, and the coffee and cappuccino was particularly appreciated. Posting the Sunday brunch menu online might have helped us set appropriate expectations.

    Love this restaurant in the summer, so gave the igloos a try. Warm, cozy and private with a great view of the water! The food here is good every time. I just think the extra charge for the igloo was way too much. It we had a really nice time!

    We loved being in the igloos. They get bigger and better every year. It was comfortably warm. Joe was orur server and he was very personable and attentive. We loved the char grilled oysters and ordered a second dozen. Two of us had the ribeye and really enjoyed it. We tried the lamb chops but I was a little disappointed, they seemed fatty and a little tough. The risotto that was served with them was excellent. We also tried the lobster Mac n cheese, which could have been creamier cheese. We loved two of your cocktails, the Pink Squirrel and the Pistachio Martini. We applaud you for your contribution to the Scotty Mac fund and for providing us the opportunity to participate by purchasing gift cards. Our grandkids were in the second igloo and really enjoyed it also.

    We had the best experience at Mile Marker One our server Jesse was so sweet and knowledgeable. Oustanding Charbroiled Otsters and oyster wedge salad and the cheeseburger was cooked to a perfect medium rare temperature. The Tiramisu is the best I have ever had. Well done to all the staff at Mile Marker I definitely will be back.

    We loved our lunch in an igloo at MM1! You cant beat the view, the igloo was cozy, and Meghan, our server, was pleasant and professional. Also appreciate the variety of items to choose from on the menu...so helpful when members of your dining party have diet restrictions, or are allergic to shellfish! Definitely will return.

    We love the food and atmosphere at mile marker one. The igloos are a fun adventure but the indoor dining areas are also cozy and cheery! The wait staff is so kind and accommodating. Nina is our favorite server! We had bang bang shrimp, a gorgeous seafood special, the scallops, and a delicious cob salad. Highly recommend!!

    Probably the worst meal out my wife and I have ever had, barely edible. There were only us and one other table seated in the whole dining room and 3 waitresses struggled to serve the 2 tables. The lamb was tough, all gristle and there was nothing to eat. I don't the the haddock was haddock, some other white fish that had a fishy taste with a terrible sauce that ruined the whole dish. Got the ravioli special appetizer for $18, only 1 ravioli drenched in browned butter and pork bits. Didn't stay for dessert...
