Commercial Street is where I'd recommend a first-time visitor to start in Portland. Here you will find most of what you'll want to do. We started by securing our tickets for a cruise of the harbor, and then made our way to lunch at the Portland Lobster Company. A few locals told us to visit, and we were glad they did. This is sort of the standard lobster place: near the water, overpriced, but leaving you wanting more. We ordered a lobster roll, clam chowder, and clam strips. The lobster roll was nearly $16, but I could easily justify it because if you go to Maine you must eat lobster. It may sound trite to those that have never been to Maine, but once there you will accept it. This was the first of many lobster meals for us.
The Portland Lobster Company extends out into the harbor and is adjacent to where the tour boats dock.
Some of it is covered by umbrellas and the rest is a large eating area. The next Maine post will be about the cruise, which was more enjoyable from eating such a satisfying meal.
