About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.

    MILE MARKER ONE CONTINUES TO ROCK! Special thanks to Mile Marker One for hosting us on Father's Day with our good friends...our 8th year in a row! We appreciate that you take reservations and would honor our request for a special table for our larger group. It made all the difference and set such a positive tone when we were able to be seated in the corner area, perfect for kids and conversation! We had a wonderful time, amazing service and most importantly, we had incredible food! EVERYONE enjoyed their meals which included Mussels, Clam Chowder, Peach Salad (with lobster was incredible), Haddock Reuben, Fish 'n Chips, Burgers and Steak Tips! We would order these all again! Drinks were great and wine selection is excellent too. Kudos to the Chef, Kitchen and BarTeams. I also want to share a special thanks to Olivia from the Hostess Stand who was awesome and so kind, she helped me select a table when I visited earlier. Additional thanks to Kaelyn who took over and managed the front so Olivia could assist me! I also want to thank our server Collette who was fantastic and right there every step of the way! We're so happy you were able to stay with us as our server, thanks! Lastly, I would like to acknowledge the management team, Patrick Hurd and company who are there day and night (breakfast, lunch and dinner). They all working tirelessly to be sure that everything flows and their customers are truly enjoying their experience and food, THANK YOU ALL! Please know that you set a positive tone that makes all the difference and why we will see you again soon. LOL, we'll be back - hoping we get there before we celebrate our anniversary on July 3!!! PS: Your live music is always a plus!

    Our waiter, Anthony, took our drink order. It was: a Beefeater Martini with olives and a Grey Goose Martini with a twist. The drinks took longer than expected. The Grey Goose Martini arrived just fine, but the Beefeater showed up without olives. It took almost 10 minutes for us to get the attention of another sever to let her know that we asked for olives. More than 5 minutes later a 3rd server arrived with olives, but by that time th Martini had warmed to room temperature (a no-no for Martinis). Our food was great. Wish the service and attention was as good.

    Had reservations for dinner did not know had to request quiet side on left side behind hotel. Very grateful they were able to accommodate. The tent side was very loud with nice music but not good to have a conversation.

    Great food. Cool at night; bring a sweater. Super loud under the awning we were having to raise our voices and the older people with us couldn’t hear at all so ask for a seat away from the musician

    This is rhe second time we have dined here recently where the service was non existent. Drinks took forver, never got my second soda water with lime. Sat forever waiting to hear the specials and order. Dessert took a good 30 minutes to arrive. We ate in the dinning room which wasn’t busy. Servers must also have tables outside because they were rarely in the dining room. The foods always good but lack of staff available to serve the tables is disappointing and not worth coming back.
