You are not alone. Most restaurants I have been to totally miss the mark on what makes a great lobster bisque.<\/p>\n<p>So, where to go for a great lobster bisque in New England? DiMillo&#8217;s On the Water in Portland, Maine is my top choice. As you can see in the photo, the bisque is chock full of lobster. I have not come across a restaurant, to date, that serves this much lobster in the bisque. Plus, the flavor of the bisque is to die for &#8212; perfectly seasoned and not overwhelming to the taste buds.<\/p>\n<p>The great thing about the lobster bisque at DiMillo&#8217;s is\u00a0 the restaurant experience doesn&#8217;t end with that bowl. DiMillo&#8217;s is located in a converted car ferry at the Portland waterfront&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-888\" src=\"http:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-photo-tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/dimillos-on-the-water-portland.jpg\" alt=\"DiMillo's On the Water is located on a converted car ferry at the Portland, ME waterfront.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1001\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-photo-tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/dimillos-on-the-water-portland.jpg 1413w, https:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-photo-tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/dimillos-on-the-water-portland-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-photo-tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/dimillos-on-the-water-portland-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-photo-tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/dimillos-on-the-water-portland-768x769.jpg 768w, https:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-photo-tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/dimillos-on-the-water-portland-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The water views are truly memorable, including the patio dining during the warmer weather.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-889\" src=\"http:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-photo-tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DiMillos-On-The-Water-Bow-Deck.jpg\" alt=\"Deck dining at DiMillo's in Portland, ME.
