Such an amazing place . Wonderful friendly staff . Great Drinks amazing Mussels and Lobster . It came highly recommended and I agree a must if you are in Portland.

Great restaurant on the water. The seafood was outstanding. The wait staff was good!

Always great food and staff are top notch.

DiMillo's exceeded our expectations in every way.My goal was to overindulge in lobster and the "Lazy Lobster Admiral Portion" did exactly that. The best gravy for the mashed potatoes I've ever had.My wife ordered the "Lobster Mac & Cheese" and its in a league of its own, total flavor bomb.Iko our waiter made the experience unforgettable with his professionalism, knowledge of the menu and friendly demeanor.We enjoyed everything about our experience and will dine here each time we are in the area.Thank you for creating an ideal dining atmosphere and hiring top notch people to deliver unforgettable experiences.

WE found DiMillio's on our Portland Stop. It was a converted Ferry Boat. The decor was outstanding. We both ordered the Clam chowder. It was so thick I stood a spoon up in it. Just the way we like it. Our next course was a lobster roll. It was huge and packed with lobster. We had an attentive server who did not rush us. The bonus here was free parking as it is hard to park in the dock area.

Great restaurant all around, including the service. This is where we chose to have our Maine Lobster. We had the Lazy lobster, which means the chef took it out of the shell for you. It was great! A perfect choice.

We showed up to find out that the reservation we made over a week prior was never reserved. We were told they would still be able to accommodate our family shortly and to feel free to wait at the bar or in the waiting area. We decided to have a cocktail at the bar as we wait for our text. After a 45 minute wait and close to their noted closing time, we decided to check with the hostess who said “you must have missed our text”. We doubled checked our phone with no text present. I think we would still be waiting at the bar had we not double checked. Next we were offered to sit at a table not quite the ambiance we were hoping for. From there the service was one of the worst possible. From never being offered another cocktail even though she took our empty glass, then we ordered a bowl of chowder but was given a cup and charged for bowl, silverware was dirty, and rushed thru our meal clearly because closing time was near. In the end our food was average. What a disappointment.

Atmosphere is nice. However, you can eat the same kinda food at any place that sells seafood.Very pricey for what it is. If you wanna place to spend some of your inheritance money this is the spot!!! Everyone else here does and they even bring their boats to show off. Thanks again Mom and Dad for the good life!!!

Big portions (and big prices). Experience was good, went during the end of April before the big tourist season really began. Had no issue finding a good table and not overly crowded at 5pm for a group of 5 for the main dining area.we ordered 2 salmon dishes, a salad, seafood platter and kids chicken nuggets. My youngest summed it up when she got hers and exclaimed, "I'm so glad they served enough food on a kids meal and didn't assume all kids have two inch stomachs". All portions seemed pretty big compared to other restraunts we have been to in the past. All food tasted great and we brought home quite a bit to make room for chocolate cake and blueberry cobbler a la mode, both which were good. The waitstaff seemed nice and the ship seemed well maintained. Overall, we are glad we chose to dine here.

Food was great, staff was incredibly pleasant and the view was remarkable. The music is a fantastic mix of older classic rock and the atmosphere is not overwhelming; nor loud or chaotic. The bar is incredibly clean with apx 30 seats; perfect for single folks traveling for work or leisure. I’ve traveled all over the country and for what this place has to offer, the prices are beyond reasonable. I’m an exceptionally picky woman and although the steak isn’t Japanese A5 Wagu (obviously) it’s well above par if you take into consideration the overall “experience” you’re getting!
