Elevated Waterfront Dining in Boothbay Harbor
Welcome to Coastal Prime 1901, where culinary artistry meets the serene beauty of Boothbay Harbor.
Under new ownership, we’re excited to introduce a refreshed dining experience that blends locally sourced seafood, fresh sushi and a diverse menu, all set against a backdrop of stunning harbor views.
A New Chapter Begins
As of May 15, 2025, Coastal Prime 1901 embarks on its inaugural season under the stewardship of local restaurateurs Metehan Sahin and Erman Celikel. Known for their successful ventures — HarborSide 1901 Bar & Grill, Harbor Treats and Downeast Ice Cream Factory — they bring a wealth of experience and a passion for exceptional dining to our waterfront location.
The “1901” in our name pays homage to the iconic footbridge constructed in that year, symbolizing our connection to Boothbay Harbor’s rich history. Read more about the Boothbay Harbor Footbridge in the Boothbay Register.
