The Falmouth Sea Grill, Falmouth

At The Falmouth Sea Grill, chefs lavish seafood with inventive seasonings as patrons drink in sweeping views of Casco Bay and Handy Boat marina. Culinary artisans layer truffle oil and walnut-pesto mayonnaise on a variety of fishy fare, from ichthyoids such as flounder to crustaceans such as Maine lobster. Generously portioned entrees including kaiser and sourdough sandwiches team up with wilted chard and hand-cut fries to please patient bellies.

The Falmouth Sea Grill's patio seating and outdoor fire pit let the breeze tickle open-air diners, and the recently renovated multilevel interior dining area massages the senses with sapphire walls, blonde wood, and photographs of ships that escaped their native bottles. A reviewer for MaineToday.com praises the upstairs dining room’s “cozy fireplace” and “beautifully crafted wooden bar,” where tipplers can sip foam from draft brews crafted by local Mainer moose, postprandial ports, and cordials.
