We had another fantastic dinner at Josephs again. Devan was a great server and the food was as great as it was during all our visits this summer. My only regret is that we will have to wait until spring to enjoy this location again! Thanks for the great consistency of making Joseph's such a pleasurable experience.

This is a wonderful place to come for a date night or celebration, the view is just gorgeous! They have a fairly decent menu size (some places are so small, others have too large of a menu) and they serve you delicious Rosemary focaccia bread when you sit down. I ordered the fish and chips, which had a unique crunchy batter but was very delicious! The fish and chips come with ranch dusted fries, but I requested the truffle fries with aioli. Highly recommend those!

Joseph's by the Sea offers an incredible dining experience with stunning ocean views to match. The ambiance is elegant yet relaxed, making it perfect for a special occasion or a romantic dinner. The seafood is the star of the menu--fresh and beautifully prepared. I highly recommend the lobster roll and the Korean BBQ Tenderloin Tips, both bursting with flavor. The service was a little slow, but we did notice our waitress was helping several tables. Whether you're sitting inside or on the deck with the ocean breeze, it's a memorable place to dine. If you're in Old Orchard Beach and looking for a high-quality meal with great views, Joseph's by the Sea is a fantastic choice!

Let's get to ambiance first. This place is fantastic! You have a choice for inside dining (only recommended for rain or cold weather, although it's beautiful inside too), outside patio, rooftop patio. All tables come with a view of the ocean. If it's a nice day, it doesn't get better than this! Service: Excellent. Food: There is an axiom that if the view is good, the food is bad. Not at this restaurant. My wife started with a cocktail and we ordered the $4.00 bread service. (Although the bread was fine, it's not really worth the extra $4. I'm sure this used to come free.) For a starter course, I got a cup of the Seafood Chowder. It looked kind of like mushroom soup and nothing much to look at, but when I tasted it, my mind was blown away. My God, it was good. The broth was lighter than clam chowder and unlike the more famous soup, it was infused with flavor. No lie, it was the best chowder I've ever had. It was packed with the right amount of seafood and I wish I had ordered a bowl, not just a cup. This was a 1000 out of 10. For an entree, I had the Pasta Maison ($34) with a generous portion of shrimp, scallops, salmon, mussels, sun dried tomato in a garlic-herb cream sauce over penne pasta. It satisfied my seafood cravings and was quite filling. My wife had the Chicken Piccata ($28) with lemons, capers in a white wine sauce. She doesn't often see this on the menu and was very happy with this version. She had a side salad which also was quite good. Our pre-tip total was just over $100, which was quite a fair place for what we ordered.

Great restaurant for a nice dinner. They seated us promptly and had pretty good service for how busy they were. As you can see in the pic, we got a beautiful view of the water so I suggest asking to sit by the window! All I got was the steamed lobster so it is pretty hard to mess up but it was great :)

Really lovely selections. You need reservations. We got a seat at the bar upstairs but otherwise reservations. My cream sauce was delicious but the temperature of my ravioli was too cool. Only critique. Bread service a must. The lobster wontons are good and the truffle fries are nice.

Incredible service, delicious food, breathtaking views... what else can you ask for? We visited Joseph's By The Sea recently to celebrate a birthday, and were completely blown away by the restaurant. The atmosphere was cozy, romantic, and inviting. We were fortunate to get a table by their windows with ocean views. As we sipped on our red wine, we watched the waves gracefully crash against the shore, creating an idyllic backdrop. The menu was extensive. We had the calamari and mussels as an appetizer, and the calamari was simply the best calamari I've ever had. The mussels were good, too. My partner had the sirloin steak and it was HUGE and delicious, but the true star of the evening was the pasta maison, a divine mix of pasta with shrimp, scallops, salmon, mussels, and an assortment of veggies. I cannot stress enough how much I recommend this dish. We finished our dinner with the blueberry cheesecake, which was also to die for. As mentioned earlier, the service was great. Our friendly server made us feel very welcomed. Truly cannot wait to return.
