Gilbert's Chowder House offers a delightful seafood experience right on the waterfront. I stopped by for a quick bite and ordered the lobster roll and their famous clam chowder, both of which exceeded my expectations. The chowder had a rich, savory flavor, making it an absolute star! The outdoor seating was charming, perfect for enjoying the sea breeze. Fast service and a terrific beer selection added to the laid-back vibe. This cozy spot is a must-visit for anyone craving fresh seafood in Portland... 🦞
