Lobster Pound

Overall: ⁵⁄₁₀
While the seafood here is good, many menu options are underwhelming and the value for your money is poor.
Atmosphere: ⁸⁄₁₀
The place is always packed. It’s a pretty comfortable place, but when it gets busy it can be a little loud and crowded. It, like many places in Maine, has a more rustic feel that I appreciate. Everything was clean and the place was a fine temperature.
Service: ⁸⁄₁₀
We were a party of six and even though the place was packed our service was still up to standard. It wasn’t exceptional mind you, but the waitress was helpful with my allergies and made sure the table was taken care of.
That said, our clam appetizer of clams was never delivered to the table. I don’t know if it was a kitchen mistake or our waitress, but when our entrees came out and still no clams we told her to forget it.
The Food: ⁶⁄₁₀
They have a good offering of both seafood and landfood, though the place is – obviously — a seafood place.
I ordered a vegetable linguine that I was pretty disappointed by. It wasn’t bad exactly, it just wasn’t very good. It lacked flavour, the veggies were under cooked, and overall was pretty meh.
Another person at the table ordered shrimp that they were also underwhelmed by, and they arrived with cold veggies — ugh!
The rest of the table ordered lobster tails and boy were they a hit. Nobody had any complaints and seemed very satisfied by the meal.
The Value: ⁴⁄₁₀
The lobster is «market price,» however at 28 dollars a pound they seemed to be the most expensive in the area. The pasta dish wasn’t even close to worth worth the 17 dollars I paid for it. The shrimp dish had four shrimp and cost about 23 dollars — oh, but you get a small side of under cooked veggies that were allowed to get cold, so that makes up for it. The lobster tails were one of the better buys (and one of the better dishes) but that doesn’t make up for the overall overcharging.

Can’t beat 2 whole lobsters steamed and delivered for free. The price wax 12.49 $ best deal on whole fresh lobsters in ogunquit!
