The Islesford Dock Restaurant & Gallery is just that - a restaurant and gallery on a dock on Islesford, Little Cranberry Island, Maine. We have a large greenhouse right out back that produces a good amount of our produce, source our lobsters from the fisherman's co-op just next door, and use Gulf of Maine seafood almost exclusively. The menu is rounded out with naturally raised meats and chicken and the service is casual but professional, warm and inviting. Make sure you get out to Islesford Dock while you're here in the area by taking the Beal & Bunker mail boat that makes multiple trips back and forth every day or take one of the several other tour boats out. We are closed Mondays throughout the Summer. Starting in September we will be open for dinner service only, and we are closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Season ends October 1st.

Havana has been committed to serving local and organic meats, produce and seafood since it opened 25 years ago. All of our meats are “naturally raised” meaning no steroids, antibiotics or hormones and “humanely raised” meaning room to roam, proper shelter and gentle handling. We make every effort to buy only sustainably harvested seafood, primarily from the Gulf of Maine. We have consistently searched out New England farmers and fisherfolk to purchase product that is not only great tasting but great for the environment and local economy as well.

    Gorgeous views especially at sunset. The crab cake was huge and all crab pretty much-no bread filling, Chilean sea bass was wonderful & butternut squash soup too. Also had coconut shrimp curry and lobster bisque. Waiter brought raspberry sorbet between appetizers and entrees. It was delicious. Highly recommended

    Our food was delicious! We had fried calamari and pretzels and chicken picatta and meatloaf as our meals. We have been here before and always had a great meal and service. Our service was fantastic. Very helpful with wine selection. Loved the Pinot Gus 2024 from Oregon “chemistry “. Prices were very reasonable for the amount of food and so delicious.

    We’ve enjoyed Copita several times and this evening was no different. Great cocktails and extensive beer and wine selections set the stage for a delicious dinner. We always order the brussel spouts. Lots of places have them but Copita perfected them. Risotto selections are always great as is the halibut. Great dessert wine flights so plan on walking home.

    Great destination for a special occasion. We loved the old wharf decor. Excellent service, good timing, tasty food, good wine selection. Too expensive for frequent visits though.
