Whale's Tooth Pub

Joshua Gordon

Ate here in June of 2022. Stayed in Lincolnville across the street from the Whales tooth Pub so eating here was convenient. Had hoped for a better experience / more vegetarian food options, otherwise I’d have eaten here more given the convenience. Too cold to sit outside so we sat at a booth inside the first room you walk into. Great view of Penobscot bay. Atmosphere in that room is ok… not as much “ pub “ character as if you went further into the restaurant. Service was great. Our waitress was extremely friendly and attentive. She was from Belfast, new the area and engaged in conversation and recommendations of things to do in the area. Super helpful. We started with the beef nachos minus the beef ( as we are vegetarians) They we’re good but the restaurant is very stingy with the salsa and sour cream. ( expensive charge for extra) and there was no reduction in the $ 19 cost given we didn’t have the beef. We then each had the Caprese panini sandwich. Our only other entree option as vegetarians was Falafel. ( Note to restaurant owners: Vegetarians are getting tired of Falafel being the vegetarian option) The sandwich was served with grill marks on the bread but the mozzarella was ice cold and not melted at all. I sent it back to get heated up. It was marginally better when returned. The fries that came with it stole the show… they were excellent!! Drink options were fun and we each ordered a few… not impressed. They were pricey and weak. I did reach out to the owners via email prior to coming to the restaurant and asked if they had other vegetarian options on the menu…( I’ve seen pictures of a good looking Mac and cheese on the reviews) but sadly they omitted there aren’t any at this time and they were not open to my suggestions of adding a pasta dish or to have a veggie burger or an impossible (vegan) beef option …. With there burger selection. It’s unfortunate because the location and convenience to Lincolnville beach is great but unless the menu changes I won’t return.

This place does not disappoint. We went with the intention of going all out. Apps, drinks, entrees and desserts. Every course was very good and presented beautifully. My wife and I work in fine dining and the kitchen here is phenomenal. Very good meals with a very welcoming and casual pub style aesthetic. There is a reason this place has been around hundred years. Will be back again!

Absolutely EXCELLENT! To begin, the ambiance & views at the Whale’s Tooth pub are unmatched. We were seated on their upper deck with beautiful views of the water accompanied by the most delicious seasonal cocktail (the early harvest rhubarb margarita). The experience only got better and better with each round of food that we ordered: General Tso’s cauliflower bites, the Falafel bowl, and last but not least the Beef nachos which are a MUST order! The nachos were served on top of a cheese covered flour tortilla which was delicious. Everything was not only 10/10 but was also presented in such a gorgeous and professional manner! This is not your average pub experience, the owners go above & beyond to cater to customers. Absolutely loved it here & highly recommend especially if you are traveling on route 1 and looking for a delicious meal!
