"Our last lobster meal in Acadia National Park was at the Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound, and a group of nice ladies at the next table heard us talk about our search for the best lobster, and recommended Bayley's when we got to Portland. We came here before the place opened on Saturday and had a wonderful time, so we came back Sunday and had another wonderful time! The restaurant sits next to a body of water and in the morning there is a light fog that makes the scenery look like it's out of a painting. The menu has quite a few options compared to other lobster places we've been to. Some of the things we tried: Twin lobster meal in medium and select: didn't really notice the difference in size, we got the soft shell both times because someone who worked there told us it was most likely sweeter. We were also recommended to not get the monstah because the meat may not be as tender. TBH I'm not a lobster connoisseur and this tasted pretty similar to other lobster meals we've had, but the price was hard to beat. The corn was really good too! Lobster flat bread: I really love this!! It's slightly crispy on the outside but soft in the middle, covered in cheese and lobster meat. Would go back just for this. Lobster bisque: I personally don't prefer clam chowder because it's not sweet, but there was so much lobster in this thing!! If you like lobster bisque this is worth it. Clams/Clam Chowder: I approve. Lobster roll: This was just ok. There's also a little store where you can buy lobster (among other seafood things) to go. Service was great, everyone was super friendly. We went early so no lines at all and the food came out really quick. Wish this existed in Texas!"
