History
Since 1898, Boone’s has been a landmark seafood restaurant, and popular beacon to Portland locals and visitors from around the world. Boone’s is located on Custom House Wharf in the Old Port district of downtown Portland. The historic dining destination is recognized as the birthplace of the Baked Stuffed Lobster—created by Alexander Boone.
After the longstanding Maine family business had closed for a few years, Boone’s Fish House & Oyster Room was introduced in 2013 by Darcy Smith, who undertook a year-long comprehensive renovation of the historic building. For Darcy, a seasoned Portland restaurateur, reinventing Boone’s was a labor of love; she has fond childhood memories of enjoying Boone's clams and chowder as she and her grandfather, who lived on Peaks Island, made their way to catch the ferry.

Emily & Greg June 2019
“With so many options to choose from in Portland, it was difficult to narrow down our options for our wedding reception. During our first visit, we were lucky enough to witness a wedding reception in progress (which just so happened to be the owner!). We could immediately envision our family enjoying the deck, overlooking the active waterfront and cozy bar with friendly staff.
Working with Anna and the rest of the team was a pleasure. They were very responsive and professional, making the planning process easy and fun! The chefs did an incredible job curating our menu to provide our guests with quality Maine cuisine. We would highly recommend Boone’s!” - Emily & Greg Clarke
