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.

    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.

    Great to be able to eat outside on the water in an igloo. The lunch was very good and they have a great selection of interesting cocktails. Service was spor on.

    An absolutely beautiful evening with a lovely server! Raw oysters were delicious. The shrimp cocktail was delicious and the 4 shrimp were HUGE! We were served the wrong drink but they made it right when we asked about it. The shrimp and lobster scampi were amazing on a bed of fresh fettuccine. Extensive drink menu. We both decided to drink our dessert — Irish coffee and a pistachio martini that is one of the best drinks I’ve had in a long time!! The igloo was very comfortable, temperature was easily regulated and they had extra blankets for a wrap or lap, if you felt like it was needed. Not cheap but I think it was worth it for the quality, quantity and overall atmosphere. (I’ve dined here in the summer when it is very busy and this is a totally different vibe. Both are excellent.)

    We reserved the outside igloo for brunch. When we first arrived it was very warm and the staff was very helpful turning off the heat and turning on a fan, allowing us to open the windows and door. It was a beautiful sunny morning. Have no fear if it is cool, the igloos can be very warm! Our server was very attentive and the food was excellent. We did notice they no longer have the M1M breakfast sandwich which was disappointing and all of us ordered lunch food and everyone was pleased. The only negative would be the cost at $15 a head to sit outside was steep and because of that we will be waiting until summer to return.
    Mile Marker One RestaurantResponded on March 12, 2025
    Thanks for visiting us, Susan. Thank you for sharing. See you this Summer and hopefully sooner.
