Seafood and upscale/casual waterfront fare. Boones has a long history of serving seafood on the waterfront in Portland. It was recently acquired and renovated by one of Portland’s Premier Chef’s and now serves an innovated New England Cuisine. The deck which overlooks the waterfront is fantastic in the summer and the blazing fireplace is perfect in the winter.
