WELCOME TO OLD PORT SEA GRILL & RAW BAR
A FEW WORDS ABOUT US
The Old Port Sea Grill has been a cornerstone of Portland’s historic Old Port district since 2002. Our modern interior features a custom concrete bar, a spacious lounge area, and a dining room that accommodates up to 75 guests – plus a stunning 500-gallon saltwater fish tank that sets the scene for an unforgettable meal.
Our menu is driven by the freshest local and imported seafood, with an emphasis on east coast cold water oysters and raw bar options. But there’s something for everyone – from hearty steaks and chicken to vegetarian and gluten-free friendly options. We pair it all with a food-friendly wine list, local craft beers on draft, and a handcrafted cocktail program.
Conveniently located just steps from the Portland Ferry Terminal, we’re the perfect spot to dine before or after exploring Casco Bay and the waterfront.
