Brass Compass Cafe

Went to this place with much hope. The ambience was awesome but the food was average. The vegetarian sandwich was just ok. The fries that came with my grilled cheese sandwich were below average. Server tried to be friendly but it seemed that she was having a bad day.

I go every year on my way up to bar harbor and stop on my way home. The lobster club is how I start my vacation and how I end it. So much lobster. It's so big definitely a sharable sandwich. Posted pictures of my half. My only con would be location. Being on the corner of a busy street is not ideal and parking was a distance.

In this environment, Brass Compass has perfect outside seating with some very nice shade trees. Great for distancing. I ordered the eggs Benedict and it was satisfying. For some reason during my visit they struggled on the service side. I do not ask for much but what I did request, they did not deliver such as bringing out water and crisping the hash potatoes. The server recognized and apologized for the issues and I was fine with that.

My family of five tried the Brass Compass for the first time for lunch today. Most places were still closed seasonally. I got the shrimp tacos, which were decent and on special. My boys ordered breakfast, which they tagged about, and my one year old had chicken fingers off of the kids menu. My husband had a fried haddock basket which he said was one of the best he's had in years. It's a cute little cafe with good food and friendly staff.

Great breakfast, brunch and lunch place. Large menu. We ordered the Bobby Flay club, it was huge, loaded with lobster & nice combination with crispy bacon, $24 for a very filling portion. A must try for visitors! Friendly and attentive staff. Love the local diner vibes.

Decent diner in downtown Rockport that's right across from the Farnsworth. Really enjoy the lobster sandwich and the chowder. Nice environment and attentive staff. The shaded outside sitting area is quite nice for people watching.

My favorite place in Rockland. The king of clubs lobster club sandwich is amazing. But their breakfast is terrific and the service is awesome. Put this place on your must see list.

The breakfast was average and price was good. The biggest problem was people grouping up at the door near the tables as people tried to eat breakfast. Nothing worse than some strangers butt in your face as your trying to eat.
