   It was great to be back on the first day of breakfast. Love this place. We're so glad we can book with open table. Emma and Angie did a great job.

   Great local spot but the food ALWAYS falls short. $19 for 2 tiny crab cakes that tasted like they came from the freezer section of the local grocery store. Clam chowder is really potato chowder. Steak was awful. They could do much more with the food for the prices they charge.

   First time dining here. One of the water glasses were dirty and had to send back. Food and service were fair. Chairs were not very comfortable. However, nice being in Higgins Beach, by the ocean.

   The halibut was great but the pasta side not so much gotta add something green and maybe a rice For someone looking to eat healthy that pasta is not The shrimp scampi alone would have gotten a 5 perfecto Better than or on par with street and co in Portland

    We decided to just eat at the bar. Sat next a young newlywed couple from GA. Conversation, super busy bar tender, and food was fantastic! Local Scarborough guests will be back in Spring 2022.

    I chose to go here with a date. On open table you can choose a table type. Bar was unavailable and the choices were either high top or standard. I chose standard. When we we arrived I responded we had a reservation. I spotted a table I would love to have in the outside deck area. She offered only bar or high top (which are in bar area) I quickly responded I reserved a standard table. She quickly responded those were already reserved!! I was totally embarrassed in front of my date. It appeared to me she was judging us and decided we weren't good enough for the dining area. I told her our table was reserved as a standard. She just shrugged her shoulders and said those tables were for parties of 4. I looked at all the high tops and they all had 4 seats at them. We reluctantly took a high top as it was a Friday night and had no reservations elsewhere. We had drinks, apps and dinner and they check delivered all the while, staring at 3 empty tables in the standard dining area. Spent $130 & felt judged. Will not be back

    We live nearby and have been to shade previously. This was the first time we didn’t feel welcome. There were several elderly groups that were nasty and snobby including one who told my 5 yo to never come back. We were there for my 14 yo’s birthday along with her younger siblings. This restaurant has high chairs and kids menus so they allow families but the geriatric clientele they tend to get won’t make most families (or those born after the Great Depression) feel welcome.

    We came for apps and drinks, all of which were delicious and refreshing. Our server, January, was spectacular and made our experience more than we had hoped for. She was funny, attentive and made great suggestions for menu items. We would have come back on the food alone but now we want to come back to have January again!

    The place is really nice, our waitress was excellent and the food was phenomenal. It was the best calamari any of us it had in years. We cleaned our plates with the Denver steak, maine lobster roll, halibut over gnocchi and fish tacos.

    Good food, good service, a short walk from beach...what else could you ask for?...the cauliflower, scampi and icebox key lime cake were all delicious... And heirloom tomatoes were also a delicious way to start the meal after a nice day in the water and on the beach. Try the sunburn!

    Two of us had shrimp scampi with side salad. Would have been nice to have a few pieces of bread with our meal. The Scampi was over lemoned and had too much butter. The ambience is lovely and the staff friendly. Our other friend had the chicken sandwich which she said was good. It is our habit each year to eat at Shade at least once.

    Great outdoor covered patio. Tables a little on the tipsy side. Good food and drink, just wish they'd start up their weekly specials again. Locals like to have a little bit more variety. If you come here often enough, you can eat your way through the menu pretty quickly. Maybe next season they can start offering a special, at least once a week.

    The food was good but the service was not. We waited an hour just for appetizers. They told us the Calamari was sold out but then another table who came in after us was able to get it. The atmosphere is really nice but we were disappointed in the service.

    The food was just average. I had the shrimp scampi but it did not have enough garlic and they really should offer bread with this meal. I had to buy bread for $2.00 and one slice was burnt. The waiter talked too fast and seemed to be rushing us. I am not sure if I would go again.

    We ate at Shade for breakfast and dinner during our stay at Higgins Beach Inn. The Service was very good, food was fresh and delicious, would highly recommend! We enjoyed several dishes, but the ones that really stood out were the Appitizers- Mussels, Teriyaki Cauliflower Bites and Wings. Dinner- Clams over Linguini and Blueberry Crumble. Breakfast- Bagel and Lox, 3 egg omelet with home fries and Eggs Benedict

    The food was very good and the service excellent. We had three appetizers. The Cauliflower was delicious and was the crab cakes and the calamari. We also enjoyed the fish tacos and the linguine with clams. It was very nice to be seated out on the deck with a light sea breeze, it was perfect. The hostess was excellent.

    I had the Caesar salad with steak. The meat was fatty and there was too much dressing on the salad. My husband had fish tacos and thought they were fair. The wine was too expensive. All in all Shade was a bit disappointing.
