Would recomend Jackie's Too located in Perkins Cove ,for lunch some day. Sits right on the oceans coast line. Great view and decent food and drinks. Also check out Related Discussions post ,there are many good recomendations given there.. Good luck.. There may be fire works on the beach then not sure.. Check with the Ogunquit chamber of Commerce web site..

Not an ocean view ,And somewhat of a buffet, but Jonathan's next to Meadowmere Resort on Rt 1 has a very nice brunch on Sundays. Lots of varieties of items,all nice and fresh. I would recommend this place highly. Have been there over a half dozen times over the last 5 years. May not be exactly what you want but it might do. Good luck with your search

I was very sorry to see with my own two eyes the passing of Vinny's East Coast Grill on Rt.1 in Ogunquit. Had many a good meal there and a really fun time watching the Red Sox win. He had a great sports bar, and lots of good times. He will be missed at least by me, and probably countless more red sox sports fans.. Sorry to see you go Vinny ,

You didnt say where you are located? Please specefy and maybe you will get some responces from someone in your area. Hope this helps.

Before going to Blue Sky, please check the previous posts For this establishment. on Chowhound. Unless its vastly improved in the last year. Its not rated by viewers of this site very well.

Had a very good meal last week at Marco Polo, in East Hartford, While the decor at a place in East Hartford called Alfrescos on Burnside ave. the food is a step up for quality in this area. You could also try a place in south windsor, called the Nutmeg. on Rt.5 , All 3 places have website, so theck them out... Good Luck... Earle

There is a nice large supermarket in Wells. Called Hanifords. Which has a real nice seafood dept. with plenty of fresh food.

There are a few nice places in Ogunquit that offer a room and dinning as a package, Or they can be booked for just the room. Try a place called The Meadowmere Resort which is right on Rt. 1 just south of the rotary in downtown Ogunquit. There is another place called the Admirals Inn which is also nice and almost across the street from the meadowmere, There is a nice restaurant with in walking distance for both places. Called Jonathan's which is only a 3 to 5 min walk if that. There is a nice place on Rt.! called Gorges Grant Hotel which also is very nice. Try there websites for prices and avail. with pictures..

You could try Vinny's East Coast Grill on Rt. 1 in Ogunquit. They have a nice large back room there and the food (as far as im concerned) is good. Im not sure of the time of the year your are looking for but you could give them a try.

There is already a combination of the two at the Buckland Hills Mall. In Manchester Ct.

There is a place in Hartford called the Chowder Pot , which is just off of Rt. 15 and 91 Which with a little notice I'm sure could handle your crowd.

There is a small diner right next to Rein's Deli called the Vernon Dinner which is a good alternative to Rein's . We have a bi-monthly meeting there and the food is always good especially at breakfast.. Just an Idea

There is a nice place on the way north on Rt1A just out side of York. Called the Cape Nedick Lobster pound, which is reasonable and good.. (http://www.capeneddick.com/) take a look at there website. Also right in down town there is a place called the Goldenrod Which is a candy store but also a nice restaurant ..(http://www.thegoldenrod.com/) There are many in Ogunquit about 5 miles north on Rt.1A or Out on Rt.1 both will take you to Ogunquit.. Read the many post about Ogunquit on previous posts on Chowhound.. Good luck Earle

My sincere apoligies to all who correct my mispoken moment about Gypsey Sweetharts clossing. and my spelling of Jackies Too. Thank you for the correction.. I thought that the place that is now occupied by Prime was Gypsey Sweetharts , My error. And thanks to Ogtmimi for the correction on 5-0 Shore Rd. And its none of my business but about what did you end up paying at Arrows the other day for dinner? Thanks again to all. Earle

Note to Emilief, Your right I would not recommend Arrows for a casual dining experence. I know its excelent food,(so Ive been told. ) But with the dress code the fee for butter, And the prices in general it does not fit my version of a good casual meal. I agree with you on MC Perkins Cove. Had a very nice meal there last year. And buy the way Gypsy Sweethearts is out of Business . Also for a little more upscale dinner you could try 50 Shore Dr. Havent been in 2 years but was good then and they are still in business so I guess in this economy it means something. Earle

You could go to Johnathan's which is only 1 block away from the Play House.. Good food, and nicely decorated. Went there last Wed. for dinner , It was very good. Had the Sirloin Steak, My wife had the Salmon Which she also enjoyed.. Give it a try. http://www.jonathansrestaurant.com/ Take a look at the menu...

For Casual We like Vinny's east coast bar and grill. For more upscale we like Varano's which is Italian and located in Wells. We also like Johnathan's in Ogunquit. And we like Angelina's in Ogunquit on Rt.1 Which we just ate at last week, And was very good. This is not as many as you asked about but should help you a little... Earle Ct.

I would try in down town a place called Allisons , Its a great place for kids and adults. It has a varied menu. And my wife and I have enjoyed it many times.. The food has always been good. http://www.alissons.com/ Take a look at the menu, I think it would be a great place for lunch for your family.. Earle

Just had 2 very good lunches on Monday and Tuesday at Jackie Two's at Perkins cove in Ogunquit. For one thing its hard to beat the view, You sit right on the oceans edge, or as close as you can get to it at any Restaurant around. Had the burger the first day and it was great. cooked just like I asked for it. My wife had the Salmon rollup.which was very good.The second day I had the chicken club sandwich witch was also very good. On tuesday my wife had the fish and chips,which were very good and not all greasy. For a nice place to eat lunch I really liked it. Would go back again any time ,and probably will.

Dont forget the jacket!
