Deck Oceanside Cafe At the Spruce Point Inn

The view & location alone gets it five stars. In a seaside town like Boothbay, there are surprisingly few places with open-​air, oceanside dining, so «Deck» is a welcome addition — unfortunately it is only open for lunch (12 – 2:30)
The food is good — mostly sandwiches, salads, crab cakes, lobster rolls, etc, and it is reasonably priced. I liked that the menu highlighted locally sourced ingredients. Everyone in our party was pleased with their meal. The best menu item I had was the signature s’more. I’m not a big fan of s’mores, but my mother ordered it for dessert and I had a little taste — sooooo delicious! — Homemade marshmallow browned with a torch atop a thick layer of dark chocolate ganache finished with a graham cracker — it was unexpectedly delicious.
The only thing that wasn’t 5-​star worthy was the service. Our waitress was very nice, but she seemed rather busy and was not as attentive as she should have been. We got one glass of water when we sat down at our table and they weren’t refilled until dessert (it was quite a hot day and we were all parched). It seems as though there is a long way to go from the deck to the kitchen inside, so requested items take a little while. I would suggest they hire one or two more waitstaff who can help running back and forth to the kitchen if they don’t have tables.
Overall, I enjoyed our meal and the view on the deck very much, and I’ll definitely return.
