Love a good boat bar, love a good tie-up, love a good dock that leads you right up to the restaurant. With summer extra close I bet you too have been day dreaming about all of Maine's patios opening up again so don't forget to add this one to the list.

Royal River Grill House Yarmouth

It's like the ultimate summer combo just calling your name. Sorry that was lame but all I can hear right now as the ground defrosts is "Krissy, come get a tequila soda on our patio bar".

YUP! They've got a patio circle bar that I promise you won't be able to leave sober, it's too atmosphere-y if that was a word.

Don't be shy, tell your friends you found your new Yarmouth spot to take the boat to dinner.

And for all the single men out there, you're welcome for the first date recommendation. Take her here and I guarantee you'll snag a second date.

Dolphin Marina & Restaurant Harpswell

This place is one of my favorite summer spots to take our boat to. It's a bit of a travel even by boat but it's absolutely worth it for the blueberry muffins. Since the restaurant is located on an island, you're going to absolutely love the way it feels. It's like you're in an episode of stranger things..kinda.

If you're planning on asking your girl to be with you forever this summer; this is your spot. She'll have no idea it's coming because if you're not a regular boater you most likely wouldn't ever drive past this place.
