For one thing the menu lists more than 80 dishes. Prices are modest to moderate not typical in a popular Maine coastal town. The atmosphere and staff are friendly and fun. You climb to the top floor to sit under red patio umbrellas and enjoy views of vil- lage and harbor or slip inside to duck the fog or wind. Either way youre in a Vacationland movie set. Hungry and drawn to the Dock Purged Maine Steamers for 15 a pound soaked in crates in the clean waters of the Damariscotta River to release grit and sand Im convinced instead to share the scallops with blackberry gastrique 11. Luscious and large three of the most suc- culent bivalves in my recent memory are grilled to perfection. The slightly tart blackberry concoction works wonderful- ly topped by candied ginger and a crispy fried wonton set each. Brilliant. Shellfish reigns here. The region is known for oysters and what many connoisseurs con- sider to be the best Glidden Point are served here with tequila lime mignonette 3.50 each or baked with crabmeat and sauteed leeks crowned with cheddar cheese. Or try little- necks 10 of them steamed with wine garlic cherrytomatoesandherbs15. But were also drawn to the classic surf and turfgrilled New York strip with grilled lobster tail 32. Or should we take flight The duck breast with orange Grand Marni- er demi 22 is juicy and pink inside with scalloped potatoes and tender buttery broc- coli rabe. We cant resist grilled lamb chops medi- umrareasorderedrubbedwith Indianspic- es and accompanied by a zingy mango sal- sa and cooling cucumber yogurt sauce 32. This is also available as a Hot Tapa a small- er portion for 15. Desserts 7 are not to be skipped. Crme brle arrives as a trio of flavors Godiva choc- olate Frangelica and Baileys Irish Cream. The blood-orange cheesecake is velvety smooth andoh-so-good. Boathouse Bistro is not your typical an- ything. Its surprises make it an evening star.
