Shepherd's Pie, Rockport, Maine - Fancy Cocktails

It was a busy day exploring Port Clyde and Owls Head with visitors from Seattle, so we stopped into Shepherd’s Pie for drinks, which turned into an early dinner.

Shepherd’s Pie is Brian Hill’s new baby. You may know him from Francine’s in Camden.

From their website — “Brian grew up on a farm in Warren, Maine. Briefly dabbled in music before starting his kitchen career working at such restaurants as Olives, Figs, Bayona in New Orleans, Aquitane, and the Linwood Grill.”

We’re so lucky that Brian moved back to Maine  – where he believes the food “just tastes better.”

Waterman’s Beach Lobster Shack is what we were trying to keep to ourselves. And their secret to a great lobster roll, is not only luscious lobster, but the roll itself.

Waterman Beach Lobster Shack, pies!

But here’s the deal, just don’t eat all the pies. OK?
