Every organization needs a leader-especially now. Fred is happy to assume that role and remains committed to offering fine dining to the community that he's come to love, even in the midst of a pandemic. Our new "Buck's To Go" service is an example of that commitment When he's not making "big picture" decisions, Fred, a self-described "foodie, " enjoys collaborating with the Buck's team to come up with new menu items, specialty cocktails and wine offerings.Fred first vacationed in Maine in the early 1980s.

We didn’t have a reservation but the hostess was very kind and seated us at a beautiful little table outdoors. The service was good and the food came out quickly. We ordered a great bottle of wine, which was actually very reasonably priced and to our surprise a whole liter!! We had an incredible baked Brie with blueberry jam!! Wooow. The steak was buttery smooth and delicious as well. The pasta was alright - nothing to write home about. Then, for dessert we had the flourless chocolate cake which was absolutely delicious but they drizzled it with what was probably Hershey’s syrup on top which

Spectacular dining experience!! The restaurant is tucked away behind the Bucks Harbor Market down a floral lined pathway. The interior decor is chic and neat with soothing colors and lighting. 2 exterior seating areas as we were seated on the quiet and charming back porch. Loved the bar area- Very fun style. Our server Chelsea was delightful as she warmly greeted us and remembered us from a former restaurant in Blue Hill. Excellent service as she discussed the restaurant offerings and specialities. We enjoyed a 3 sheets cocktail with local mussels in a tasty Thai coconut curry sauce and local greens

12 of us did a family reunion. Everyone enjoyed their meal. My foster child ate everything I did and loved it. She’s only two years old. The chef came out and was impressed at what she was eating. Asked if she ever had tried lobster. I told him no. He brought out this plate for her to try. It was the sweetest thing I ever saw. PS the artwork is beautiful

Buck's Restaurant continues to be one of the best restaurants at which I have dined. I was there for the first time this summer last evening. They opened late this year due to renovations in the market with which it shares a kitchen & a few in the restaurant. I had poached halibut with a sherry cream sauce and lobster on it along with snap peas and fingerling potatoes. As usual, it was great! The combination of tastes and textures all complemented each other, again as usual. The bread continues to be superior & the service attentive without being intrusive. I'm not sure I saw

We stumbled upon Buck's years ago and couldn't believe our luck. We've made it a point to eat there whenever we're in the area, which has been annually since we got a boat and cruise these waters every summer. It's an easy walk from Buck's Harbor Marine. A reservation is required -- they fill up fast. Last night we started with excellent cocktails, a margarita and a mojito. The bread basket included little homemade corn muffins, which were a treat. For our entrees we both had the seafood stew, which was outstanding in both flavor and in presentation. Our waitress was

Small seasonal restaurant tucked away behind the Buck's Harbor Market (tip: the market, which is also very small, sells a few terrific but pricy items prepared by the restaurant staff -- we are fans of the marinaded olives and the soups and chowders, but not of the sandwiches, and are looking forward to seeing what else will be offered this year).
The restaurant's emphasis is on local, seasonal fare (often sourced from the remarkable Blue Hill Peninsula farms and fisheries). Overall, really delicious food and appealing presentation. There's always a labor shortage in this area

Mussels were very good for our appetizer...which got our server involved because she had ro request bread for our dipping pleasure...we all agreed that the great bread should have came with the mussels.....my wife had the lamb shank and I had rhe rabbit....both great choices....we would have done desserts but had to make haste to get to the play...

SNAPSHOT = details below - great food in a nice atmosphere. Very good service. What's not to like?
Quaint old home converted into a cozy restaurant. Nice menu with solid balance.
TIP = Deserts are very good but all portions are quite generous. Pace yourself to the finish line.
NOTE = Men's restroom very clean but somewhat cramped.

This has been and still is one of the most outstanding restaurants in the area. The location at Bucks Harbor in South Brooksville is out of the way but well worth a drive down the scenic Coastal Road. The short walkway past plantings of herbs and flowers and the Peter Beerits sculpture of a life sized couple sitting down to dinner sets the mood. There was a young man shucking clams and oysters at a shiny metal serving cart in the alleyway which further whet our appetite. The décor inside is subdued and elegant with high ceilings, art works on the walls and earth colors. The servers are in dark

Located at the western end of Eggamoggen Reach at Buck Harbor is an absolute mirage. This is in the middle of no where, located behind a very small convenience store, you will find a restaurant that tops most of the locations we have enjoyed all over the world. Total shock at the modern, open and stylish interior. The restaurant is small (30) seats, the menu limited and wonderful. There is large bar and good wine selection. With the first bite you know this place is special. The owner/chief presents fresh, beautiful, seasoned delights. We felt it was five star dinning at four star prices. The

We came to an early dinner and we welcomed into the beautiful hidden space of Buck's. The dinner menu changes and we started with a cold spicy gazpacho followed by a perfectly dressed seafood salad. A warm assortment of breads accompanied our entree- perfectly prepared Bluefish with a lemon cream sauce with fresh peas and spinach. They have a good selection of wines, beers and mixed drinks. This is a gem of a restaurant on the Bay with excellent service.
