Brix + Brine

Brix + Brine is an outdoor seafood restaurant on Shore Road in Ogunquit, known for its raw bar, with fresh shucked oysters, chilled Maine lobster and a large selection of shellfish. The menu also covers New England classics such as lobster rolls, fried haddock with chips and clam chowder, along with salads, sandwiches and a few Mexican-inspired dishes like shrimp tacos.

The open-air setting means most guests walk in, since the restaurant does not take traditional reservations. Parties of 10 or more can ask about limited reservations, subject to availability and weather. Parking is at Obed's Lot and Jacobs Lot in the center of town, and walking is recommended for those staying nearby. The space also hosts private parties such as wedding welcome parties and cocktail receptions. The restaurant is closed for the season and reopens in early May.
