About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for groups
  • Great for outdoor dining
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.

    Had an enjoyable Mother’s Day at the Mile Marker One. The view with the boats on the ocean were lovely and the food was very good! Everyone enjoyed their entrees as well as yummy apps! We have been here outside as well and it’s really nice to sit on the deck and have a nice lunch and take in the view!!

    Terrible experience there today. Service was beyond terrible. We had to ask if anyone was going to come over to take our drink order because we were waiting so long. Our apps never came because apparently our table was not numbered and no one knew where the food should go. My mom waited 10 extra minutes to get her meal while everyone else had theirs. Our server took forever with everything he did while we saw all the other tables around us talking to their servers in a timely manner. Two thumbs down.

    Overall everything was okay. My food was quite good. But my wife’s crab cakes were not good. The service was very good.

    Chose the restaurant for the water view but initially seated at the one table against a wall and crammed next to another table making it hard to even sit. Requested a change and they did remedy that quickly. Beautiful views of the water. French onion soup had no flavor. Oysters were good. 2 of us ordered the protein salad that missing the quinoa and goat cheese….just a tasteless pile of shaved beats and carrots for $17 that neither of us ate. We only ate the added protein we selected. Lobster rolls were just ok. Waitress never asked once how our meals were even when clearing table and removing our uneaten meals. Slow to bring our drinks. Tiramisu presentation was terrible….messiest piece of tiramisu I’ve ever seen. $400 tab. Terrible. We won’t be back.

    The food is always great, but the igloos are HORRIBLE when the sun is shining. They were easily 90 degrees (it was 55 degrees outside), and several people inside left to move inside. They needed to have more air flow within the igloo and should have offered us a fan but didn't. Server barely showed up with water and really took her time (maybe she didn't want to be in an oven either?). Really made Easter lunch miserable.
