MC Perkins Cove is just that restaurant. Located in Perkins Cove, USA Today states the this is one of "the Top Ten places in the world with a view".
MC Perkins is owned by Mark Gaier and Clark Frasier, who also own the award winning Arrows Restaurant in Ogunquit.
The restaurant is casual yet sophisticated. You will not find a children's menu or highchairs. What you will find is many local favorites with a unique twist.
Chefs Gaier and Frasier are also recipients of the James Beard Foundation for best chefs in the Northeast. Celebrity chefs Gaier and Frasier have appeared numerous time on the Today Show, CBS' Early Morning Show and other programs.
We started with an order of Fried Calamari with cherry peppers with gremolta dipping sauce. Our salad choice was the Caesar's Salad. The salad had imported anchovies that were mouthwatering and not salty.
Mike tried the steak special of the day, which was topped with caramelized onions and was accompanied by a side of Chick Pea fries. The fries had an interesting taste, and I would definitely try them again.
My meal was actually something from the raw bar. I got the famed The Grand Shellfish Tower. This eye popping piece de resistance is a collection of oysters, little neck clans, jumbo shrimp, mussels and Maine lobster with onion Tabasco sauce and a lime vinaigrette sauce. Usually people will share this grand delight, but I chose to eat it by myself!
There are so many reasons to visit MC Perkins Cove: the sights, the sounds of the crashing waves, the smell of the intoxicating food and the unique flavors that delight my taste buds. The service is impeccable. One unique thing about MC Perkins is that the staff is really committed in providing great SERVICE and is very knowledgeable about food, preparation and menu. Staff is not interested in flipping tables like tourists restaurants that dot the coastline, but they are more in-focus providing a great experience. We where there for over two hours and enjoyed every minute!
