Surf Point Grill

I honestly want to like this place. It’s beautiful, right on the water, great view. But all of that is lost because of the HORRIBLE service you get. We walked in and were told it was a 30 – 40 minute wait. We were willing to wait so we went upstairs to get a drink. We sat at a table with a delicious martini with a great view and 45 minutes later we were buzzed. Half of our 4 person party went downstairs to get the table and the hostess said they buzzed us on accident. So we tried to ask if we could go back upstairs because we didn’t want to lose the table we had upstairs (since the other half got up to settle our drink bill upstairs) and the hostesses including the manager couldn’t get it together. They bantered back and forth for a few minutes and finally we decided to go upstairs to resume sitting at our table. When we were finally buzzed and sat at our table it took an hour before we even got any food at the table and somehow the appetizer came out before the salads. And when we mentioned it, the salads still took 20 minutes longer before they came out. I honestly would keep your money and go to the Front Porch which is less expensive and a great atmosphere. You can overlook the ocean anywhere, don’t let this place fool you. I’m doing you a favor telling you to turn around and go somewhere else if you’re looking for dinner!

We had breakfast here after we checked out of the hotel. The hotel was very nice. The restaurant was sub par. Service was very slow, and our eggs were consistently over cooked. Maybe they do a better job with dinner, but I wouldn’t eat breakfast here again.

Saw this place as we were walking near our hotel in Ogunquit. The setting right on the ocean was beautiful. We were going to a show at the playhouse so we needed to eat early, but that worked to our advantage. Their wine list was good and had many reasonable prices bottles of wine. My wife had the lobster rangoons for an appetizer. She loved them. I had had the bruchetta with goat cheese and argula. Awesome. We each had the lobster and shrimp scampi. Lots of lobster and shrimp. Cooked to perfection. The wild blueberry pie was great.

So disappointed in our expensive meal tonight. We have been coming to the Anchorage for many years so were pleased to hear they had built a new restaurant. We had a poor experience. Our rolls were still frozen on the inside and chewy on the outside like bread that has been heated in a microwave. My lobster tail was stuck in its shell and black when pried out. Our waitress just disappeared when a problem came up. Never brought new rolls and didn’t ask if the problem was solved after we spoke to the manager. We did have a nice experience with the hostess who got us a table when the place was quite full. Hopefully their problems will be cleared up before we come back to Maine next year.

We have been here twice, the first time when the restaurant had only been open for 5 days. We sat upstairs and waited forever to get a drink.
Then we decided to get something to eat. Everything was slow, service horrible, no one seem to know what was going on. Food and drinks awful!
We finally got our meal, ate it and couldn’t find someone to get our check.
We decided to give it another try a few weeks later. We went upstairs for cocktails with another couple, again, service slow, drinks were awful, all four of them.
Seriously, the view is awesome but please they need to get their act together and absolutely need a decent bartender! And good wait staff!

This place was great! The view is amazing and the staff is so friendly. Try the ribs, they’re the best in town!

This place was terrible. We stayed at the resort in which it is situated and decided to have dinner there rather than wander too far. The restaurant is brand new and was very visually appealing with great ocean views. We put our names in for dinner and it was suggested we have a quick drink in the bar upstairs while we wait for a table. The bar has a great panoramic view of the ocean and had several open tables but we were told that we could only have appetizers upstairs. Why not let people eat dinner? We were greeted by a bartender who looked like she wanted us to go away. She seemed overwhelmed despite the lack of a crowd. We waited for a drink that never came and ended up being sat for dinner downstairs in a drafty spot next to the hostess station. When I asked how long it would take for a different table, the hostess looked at me like I had 3 heads and said 45 minutes. 15 minutes later we noticed more desirable empty tables sitting unturned waiting to be cleaned while hostesses chatted at their station. I order the lobster pie which was $ 27 and my wife ordered the lobster alfredo which was $ 23. Our food took a really long time to come out, and when it did, we were not happy. The less expensive alfredo had far more lobster than my lobster pie, which was also a bit misleading in my opinion. The pie consisted of a small dish of lobster chunks and cracker crumbs accompanied by rice and veg, which was not mentioned at all on the menu. The lobster in the alfredo was overcooked and rubbery. My wife left about half the dish on the plate when she was finished and the waitress came to take it. She didn’t ask if she could wrap it up but we kind of assumed she would seeing there was so much left. Nope! When she returned with the bill, we asked about the alfredo and she told us that she threw it away. We were offered a free dessert to make up for it but were full and ticked off and said no. We heard another couple complaining to the hostess that their entire experience was terrible. So was ours. We paid $ 100 for bad service, overcooked food and a pretty lousy overall experience. They really need to get their act together. Take my advice, eat elsewhere.

The breakfast food was excellent! Recommend the omelettes and blueberry pancakes. Only down side is that service was very slow especially when the restaurant was not crowded at all. A great restaurant for breakfast. A plus side is the amazing view to the beach

Luckily, we saw the sign for the Surf Point Grill earlier on our trip during a walk on the Marginal Way. It was Saturday night when we decided to try the restaurant out. First of all, the restaurant was a great way for us to see the Anchorage, a resort that we didn’t realize was so beautiful. During our brief wait for a table, we were able to stroll to the lawn and take advantage of the beautiful sunset.
The hostess and staff seemed to know a lot of the diners – a lot of hugs and handshakes were exhanged, which was great to see. As new customers, we were treated well, with a friendly server and speedy service. We both were in the mood for pasta dishes, and they did not disappoint. Delicious, flavorful plates and healthy portions were delivered to our table. We had seafood for both of our meals, as well as an appetizer. The shrimp, mussles, scallops, and calamari were all fresh and prepared well. The next morning at breakfast, I found myself still thinking about the pasta and seafood from the night before!
Make no mistake, this is a restaurant in the middle of a resort, so you’re eating next to people who are swimming in the pool or jacuzzi. However, if you wait a little longer for a table facing the ocean, it is worth it. Overall, this was a great experience and we cannot wait to go back next year.
