Reviews For High Tide Restaurant and Bar

A very spacious setting for great seafood. Honestly the best chowder and lobster bisque I’ve had in Maine so far. We had the clam chowder, the lobster bisque, the stuffed haddock, the bacon wrapped scallops; the hot butter lobster roll was amazing and the Maine lobster roll was delicious. The mussels had a savory sauce that I would put in anything and everything...The food is very well seasoned and balanced and I’ve never had the most tender and delicious green beans anywhere in the U.S. will return for this gem on the river. Not to mention service was extremely courteous with staff that knew their menu very well. Highly recommend this place for the seafood experience in Maine.

Great atmosphere with great service. Food was absolutely perfect! Service was on point and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. They were super helpful when asked questions about the food and drink menu. The vibe was very chill. Enjoyed every bit of this place.

Delicious dinner with typical lobster rolls and clam chowder. Four friends and I shared a fried high tide platter, and then everybody got a main dish: four amazing lobster rolls and a superb mac & cheese (a good surprise). I also ordered a tasty clam chowder. The food was accompanied by water and a bottle of white wine. The check was 300, tip included.

I gave five stars . It has a nice quiet atmosphere. We were eating light so we ordered the clam chowder and the lobster bisque. The bisque had large pieces of lobster . The lobster was sweet and delicious. This really wasn't too busy when we were there. We were seated quickly. Our server was friendly and helpful. Our food arrived promptly. It was very enjoyable. I would recommend this place.

The place was great. I love salad, but I don't like cutting everything in my salad. That being said, it was good. It is dark and can get a little loud, but the food is great. I like the broiled seafood platter, and my husband liked the fried. The bartender did great with my cosmopolitan.

It was excellent food, quick service, nice clean place. We had the lobster roll, it was good. I had never had lobster, so I didn't like it but the people that liked lobster said it was good.

We’re from AZ & we’re looking for a place open after 8pm since we just travelled all day. This place was convenient and had seafood options that we can’t get in AZ. They had indoor/outdoor seating and plenty of parking. It sits on the water and is very close to airport. Service was great as was the food. We had the Salmon with crab, the prime rib special and lemon cake (so tasty). Highly recommend!

My wife and I had an amazing lunch at High Tide Restaurant & Bar in Brewer, ME. The ambiance was contemporary and relaxing, making it the perfect spot for a lovely meal with a view. We were seated quickly, with only a 5-minute wait, and the service throughout was excellent. My wife started with a cup of clam chowder, which was the best we've had during our trip—it was flavorful and hearty. She followed that with a burger and fries, which were fresh, perfectly cooked, and delicious. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich special, and it did not disappoint. The roll was toasted to perfection, and the chicken, coated with sauce and melted cheese, was tender and tasty. The fries that came with our meals were hot and crispy. We especially loved that the restaurant is situated right on the waterfront, offering beautiful views of the river and the Bangor skyline. Overall, this was one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Maine, with great food, quick service, and a stunning location.
