Boone's Fish House & Oyster Room

I was in Portland on a work trip and had a lunch date with one of my colleagues, we were on a mission to find a lobster roll (when in Maine, right). I have celiac, so at times it can make my food selection a bit harder but Boone's didn't disappoint. We started with scallops, unfortunately we were too busy eating them before I realized I hadn't snapped a picture, they were cooked to perfection, they had just the right amount of sauce and I only wished there were four of them so we didn't have to share the last one. The lobster rolls were great, they accommodated me with a GF roll (no one can make GF bread taste good, this isn't a them issue...convo for another day) and homemade chips had just the right amount of salt. Great choice for lunch!

We landed a spot upstairs with a great view. Our server seemed less than thrilled when asked about gluten-free options (even though we called ahead and were told GF buns were available). After a long wait, she said the GF buns were not available (??!) and there was limited choice. She brought the GF dish but still managed to include the fried potato chips which were not GF. No choice was given and she didn’t seem interested in actually working or serving. She was barely civil. We won’t be returning. This place is quite happy to cater to cruise ships…
