DiMillo's On the Water

Known For
Lobster brunch dishes served on an actual floating vessel
DiMillo's On the Water turns a floating restaurant on Portland Harbor into one of the most instagrammable brunch settings in the state, with bright harbor views that do most of the work. Lobster Benedict over open water is a tough combination to argue against.
🕐Best time to visit: October afternoons when the foliage frames the harbor
Our Take
DiMillo's floating restaurant on the waterfront is genuinely one-of-a-kind — dining on a converted ferry with harbor views is an experience you don't forget. The score reflects that the setting is the star, making it worth the stop if you're wandering the Old Port.
