Rose Cove Cafe

We had an impromptu dinner here.
I really wasn’t hungry so I just had a bowl of fruit salad which was good.
My fiancée had a seafood platter which was HUGE-​and he said it was «good.»
I really enjoyed sitting on their deck at night. They have tables with mini fire pits built into them. It’s a fun touch that also helps keep you warm. A fun place to sit and people watch!

This place was… interesting. My boyfriend and I were walking around aimlessly looking for lunch. So many places we couldn’t decide. We stopped and looked at the menu and a girl ran out with a platter of fudge for us to try. Enticing. We actually walked around some more and eventually ended back at Rose Cove because he was craving a Fisherman’s Platter.
We go in and I was surprised of how casual it was inside. Half of the place is a restaurant the other a candy/​ice cream shop. Odd. We’re hungry and decide to stay. The ambiance is so lame. The tables and chairs were super cheap. There were actually table numbers taped to some of the tables — really?
So he got the Fisherman’s Platter which was actually perfect. The scallops were my fave. I got the Lobster Salad. Now it’s funny it didn’t have a description and for some reason I didn’t ask what kind of salad it came with but I certainly didn’t expect everything but the kitchen sink. There was a nice amount of lobster meat a top lettuce, tomatoes, grapes, raspberries, blueberries, mushrooms, summer squash, zucchini, broccoli — what? And it didn’t come with a signature dressing. I chose olive oil and vinegar but couldn’t eat the salad as a whole since nothing really went together. So strange!
Service wasn’t great. I kept having to catch our waitress’s eye to ask for things and when that came to the check it took a while. I’m a sucker for anything with Rose in the name but I probably won’t be back here.

Fun place to eat due to patio contains tables with individual fire pits. Cold October evening but we decided to eat outside just for the experience. Loved it. I had fish and chips, which was good. My son had the clam chowder and lobster roll, both of which he said were excellent. He liked the chowder even better than Barnacle Billy’s. He was still a bit hungry after his meal. Will definitely go back. It is pricey. $ 60 for both of us, with tip, which is the most expensive dinner we’ve had here in Ogunquit this week.
