    They weren't of haddock, unfortunately. Waitress was fun and did a good job given how mant tables she had. French Fry Flight is a fun appetizer!

    Nor' Easter Pound & Market offers a casual dining experience with fresh seafood in Northeast Harbor, ME. We were seated quickly, with only a 5-minute wait, and food arrived within 15 minutes, though there were some missteps. My wife’s clam chowder came out promptly, but mine was delayed. The chowder itself was average, nothing particularly memorable. Our main courses arrived shortly after, but my Lobster Mac-n-cheese lacked any visible lobster. After confirming with the server, I was brought a replacement, which contained a few pieces of lobster, thankfully improving an otherwise bland cheese sauce. My wife enjoyed her fish and chips after getting past a dry spot, but the inconsistency in texture was noticeable. Dessert was a warm blueberry pie a la mode, though the pie crust was disappointingly soggy, likely due to being microwaved. Service was courteous, and I appreciated the discount for the mis-order, but overall, the food didn’t live up to the potential of Maine’s seafood scene.

    We had a good experience tonight. Great Pinot Grigio from Italy to start. Haddock bites were gluten free which was a welcome surprise and taste was very good. The lobster chowder was delicious but lukewarm. Ordered the whole belly clams but were overcooked and when brought to the servers attention he said we had 2 complaints on the same thing. Also had the haddock dinner that was gluten free and it was verged. We both had fries ( eat good) and coleslaw (tasteless). The blueberry pie was/ ice cream was excellent.Thought price was good for the value.
