Seafood
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.

    Our breakfasts were very tasty and the portions were totally appropriate to start the day. The French Toast was the best I’ve ever had, at least 2 inches thick of a tasty whole grain bread with just the right amount of egg wash batter. Served with real maple syrup and 2 slices of bacon. Of course, regardless of the season, the view of the water and yachts is spectacular.

    Thank you Charles for visiting the restaurant and for all the great feedback. We are now serving brunch until 5 pm on Sundays, so we hope you return soon. Brunch by the water, in any season, cannot be beat. Mile Marker One Team

    Lovely outdoor spot on the water with overhead heaters! Drinks were great - husband had rum punch, my (can’t remember the name) drink was vodka, grapefruit and a touch of maple syrup and it was delicious. Two in our party had the special - halibut over shrimp and grits with steamed spinach - and loved it! I had green curry duck prepared just right! Service was extra special. We will be back

    We chose this for a dinner with out of state friends who wanted seafood. Our server was awesome! She was pleasant and attentive. The food was good, but I had higher expectations based on reviews that I had read. One friend had the seafood in a pineapple and said it was very good. The cocktails were ok. What made it worse was the live music. While he was very talented with a good song selection, it was extremely loud and we were behind him. It made it difficult to have a conversation. Being on the water, maybe it is much better during the summer. Not sure I would rush back.

    Mile Marker One RestaurantResponded on November 3, 2023

    We appreciate your feedback and are glad you enjoyed the service and seafood. We'll look into the music volume – thank you for bringing this to our attention. We hope to see you again soon, and will check the volume when you do. Best, -M1M Team.

    The fish tacos were terrible. All cole slaw and a corn tortilla that was more like a hamburger bun. No garnish. No cilantro or a lil tomato salsa. The burger was fantastic. Our service person was angry from start to finish. We were so disappointed as we usually enjoy Mile Marker ONe

    Betsy, we sincerely apologize for not meeting your expectations with the fish tacos and service. We'll address these issues to ensure a better experience next time.

    Food was very tasty. Staff friendly and accommodating. I had a generous dish of very flavorful roasted broccoli. The horseradish crusted fresh caught haddock was enjoyed by a friend. Enough for two... apart from the "average American" who seems, often, to eat for two.

    The food and the service were both great! for apps, we had the clam dip and the cauliflower, both were delicious! The mains, were the lobster mac and cheese, another had one of the specials which was the tuna in a tempura batter lastly, another had the seafood curry in a hollowed out pineapple, Each really loved what they had ordered. too full to have dessert, but next time will have to try one of the house made offerings.

    We were celebrating our anniversary. My husband ordered the ribeye which came slightly overcooked but was still very tasty. I ordered the steak au poirve with salt and vinegar crispy fries. It was all very good except no pepper crust and I would of liked more of the salt and vinegar seasoning. Overall it was very delicious and great service and will go back if we visit Gloucester again.

    My husband and I dined in for our anniversary last night. Overall good and service were great but we ordered dessert to go, got back and my husbands dessert had mold on it. It was the upside down banana cake and there were multiple mold spots on the bananas. Very disappointing and not a great end to our dinner, especially for the price of the dessert.

    Amazing evening at the Mile Marker, started with a couple of their strawberry cocktails can't remember the names, one a martini the other with wine and strawberry slices, both were excellent. Then we had Virgilios bread with butter and the Seacarpaccio (sp?), both Sooooo good, every bite amazing especially the burratta, octopus salami and the tuna stuffed pepadews. Then we finished our dinner with the tropical salad with grilled shrimp and scallops. Oh my God, so freaking good! The mangos were super ripe, the watermelon was like the best watermelon I've ever had, the scallops were slightly over done, but otherwise all of the food was outstanding and our server was fantastic, she checked in on us the right amount of times etc etc ..super impressed...oh and sitting on the lovely deck outside made it all even better.

    My husband and I ate at Mile Marker One on a Saturday evening. We had a reservation and we were a little early but was seated right away. We did have to wait a little bit to be waited on but we were early. Our waitress was friendly and informative. Our food was great. We had the wings as an app and I had the fish and chips. Wow. 3 huge pieces and very delicious. My husband really enjoyed his sea scallops and pasta. We had asked to be seated outside but it was raining. We still got to sit outside but underneath still with a great view of the harbor and boats. Very nice location. Overall it was a great experience. We would recommend it and also go back.
