"So.... nothing bad to say about the place. The food was delicious, and service exceptional. I am just an old fat guy who is also a simpleton. I recognize that the food was delicious and had great choices with good portions....but honestly lost on me. Simple burger and fries is more my style.Not the restaurant's fault. Dishes range from $20-$40 or so. If you are out to impress the wife or in-laws with casual fine dining while wearing jeans....this is the place."

"Recommendation for our Anniversary. Researched ahead of time. They were right about getting there early to have the best selection (out of everything scallop and the stroganoff when we arrived. Out of most desserts by the end). Every bite of food was as I'd expected, and we went in with high expectations. Shrimp Cocktail (HUGE shrimp), Escargot (not at all chewy), Salmon (Husband asked if I could learn to make it), Ahi Tuna with the Deviled Egg Cavatappi subbed for rice cause I wanted to try it. Literally every bite was delicious. Our Server was clearly stressed, but there were a lot of guests and he was hustling. He hid a piece of cheesecake for my Husband, which he wouldn't have gotten otherwise. The only other choice was the Lemon Cake, but that's what I would have chosen anyway. Very happy."

"Legitimately one of the best dinners my dad and I have had in our entire life. The salmon was THE BEST. This place has a really cool vibe and good beer selection, but the food just blew us away. Can't recommend enough."

"From the moment we walked in we were made to feel welcome! Our waitress was knowledgeable about the menu which made it so easy to order oysters specifically! The atmosphere was so relaxed n beautiful. Was the best meal we have had in Maine!"

"Absolutely loved this place! Such an absolutely beautiful little hole in the wall, I almost walked by and am so glad I didn't! The food was to die for, the staff was kind, and the atmosphere was nicer than any I've been to in awhile! I have the duck and had to resist getting seconds! 100% going back soon!"
