Cute little warf spot in Camden. Service was great at the…read morebar when we waited for our table. Drinks are strong! Our table over looked the bay. Perfect to watch the boats and free water taxi coming and going. Our waitress was very busy. We didn't see much of her, but she did a nice job for having so many tables. We tried the clam chowder. Way think and rich. I'd love to see more clams, but only because I like mine full. There was plenty in the bowl though. Needed a little more salt & pepper, but I like that it doesn't come out over seasoned so we can fit our taste buds. Husband had the 1.5lb lobster . He said it was really good. He said he needed at 3lb to be full. French fries were crunchy on the outside and perfectly soft in the center. The way I love them. I ordered the "fried" haddock Ruben. I ordered mine broiled instead. Perfectly toasted marble rye bread. The fish was pretty buttery and not a large piece of fish. Maybe a little too much for my personal liking. But the haddock had good flavor and texture. Slaw was ok. Felt like it needed a distinct flavor to make it pop! 3 bean salad was really good though. Lobster was $35. I felt like that wasn't a bad price. Overall, I'd stop in for lunch again.

We ordered two types of sliders, one being the fried chicken and they were almost inedible. The chicken was barely fried and then buffalo sauce was slathered all over them. The burger sliders were ok but nothing memorable. As far as the service, while the bartenders were friendly when they came around, they couldn't keep up with the crowd. We waited and waited to be served and they most times did not even look at the guests at the bar to see if they needed anything. While I may try this place if I'm in the area again, I can't say it would be my first stop to hit.

You will find Italian, French, Brazilian, African tajine and of course a burger . We started with the house dip which is amazing red pepper served with beautifully roasted pita bread. The portions are huge so we decided to share the schnitzel. As expected, a huge serving. Perfectly cooked so the chicken was not dry but tender and the breading was crispy and crunchy. It had a honey mustard drizzle which I don't normally love but it worked here. We swapped the beer braced cabbage it comes with for the truffle fries which were incredible and so many even shared we could not finish them. Obviously hand cut and fried here. The flourless cake served with raspberries and cream was excellent also. Truly fine dining experience with a very well thought out and executed menu

OMG, we've had a place in Hope (nearby) for five years but never tried/heard of this place. And…read morethat is our loss! Devon and Hannah are the couple that own and run the place - he's the ridiculously talented chef and waiter (or chef that delivers and describes the food) and she's front of house (greeter, waitress, sommelier, and seems genuinely happy! The food...so so so so good and unique. If this place doesn't win major awards I'd be shocked. There are maybe 10 tables so even when "busy" it's never chaotic (well I've only been once and it wasn't too crowded but Hannah said as much and she seems very honest!) The food and service is very much the appeal and they absolutely nailed it. Pointedly they did not spend a lot on interior, yet it's simple, tasteful, and appealing. They don't open every night, just Thu Fri Sat - which is why they still love it - their words but my wholehearted agreement. It's not inexpensive but when someone has clearly mastered their crafts like these two, I am onboard every time. Also, you know when you love a place but after going a bunch of times you get kinda tired of the menu? Well these two change menu every three weeks! Camden has a bunch of restaurants that cater to the tourists - they are fine and some are even good but not special at all. But this place, what can I say, I fell in love and will be back often! And if you are a foodie tourist who wants to treat yourself, you must come!

The creative food and wine menus are small, the plates are medium, and the love is large. If you are a couple it's best to just order the entire menu and share it. After couple glasses of a natural orange wine (bottles are pricey) the bill was $170. We are so happy they're open in winter and filled up on a Saturday so reservations a must. Loved all the dishes despite being slightly over salted. Menu changes frequently and can't wait to return.

As a Yelp Elite member, I don't give one-star reviews lightly, but unfortunately I feel this…read moreexperience warrants one. My husband and I visited for drinks and spent a few hours at the bar. During the first part of our visit, we had a wonderful time. The atmosphere was friendly, we enjoyed meeting other patrons, including several Canadian Army veterans on a motorcycle tour, and the service from the initial bartender was excellent. We appreciated being allowed to play a complimentary game of pool. Unfortunately, the experience changed dramatically after the bartending shift change. From that point on, we felt unwelcome and believed staff chose to side with a small group of patrons during a disagreement rather than taking the time to understand the situation. Ultimately, we were asked to leave, which came as a complete surprise and left us feeling embarrassed and disappointed. What makes this especially frustrating is that we had spent a significant amount of money at the establishment and had been enjoying ourselves without issue for most of the evening. the way the situation was handled left us feeling dismissed and unfairly treated. Based on this experience, I would not return and don't recommend this establishment to other visitors.

The chowder tasted of cream, the potatoes were soft and subtle and cooked and cut properly; the clams were fresh and the amount resting the just not enough range.

Grumpy, slow and impolite with a smile. Drinks are very good. P

There are usually two restaurants in Camden worth trying amongst the many tourist traps and…read moreFranny's is one. I first went to "Francine's" over 2 decades ago! While it was a lot cheaper then, and maybe a bit better, we throughly enjoyed our meal here. The biggest improvement is the comfy outdoor dog-friendly tent. Service was very sweet and prompt. Our ribs and swordfish were excellent. The tent has a large floor rug which added a homey touch. The only downside was the 70s rock canned music. Otherwise, this is one of only a few worthwhile dining experiences here.

Be advised they are strict about seating your party exactly at the scheduled time of your reservation. It's a small venue so timing is everything, and very understandable they have strict rules in place. The food was delicious, we went for the Greek style pasta and steak frites. Steak cooked exactly as ordered. Service was friendly and surprisingly fast by Camden standards. A great spot for locals and travelers alike, be sure to make reservations.

They took us in as long as we were able to be out by 7pm (it was around 5:30pm). The food came out super fast (almost too fast). We only ordered mains since we already had happy hour elsewhere. They had one special polenta cake, but no other specials. The restaurant had not filled up yet, but appeared to have some reservations booked for later on. It was pretty hot and uncomfortable in the room, and wish they had better AC. It just made me want to eat and leave faster and made it hard to enjoy the meal. We were sat next to a portable unit but it wasn't doing a very good job and pointed away from us. I got the salmon over mushroom risotto. They asked how I wanted it cooked, which isn't usually something I get asked about salmon, so I said to cook how they normally would. It was probably about medium inside, still tender and not overcooked. The salmon had a strong grill taste but not enough seasoning and the fishy brown part was still attached underneath. The mushroom risotto and carrots were cooked and seasoned well. Overall, there wasn't anything major wrong with the meal, but I felt underwhelmed for the price tag ($36).

"Blueberry Salsa" nothing more than blueberries and onion with chips coated in dense strips of black pepper that hurt the pallet to eat. The main course was plain and wet.

The bill came and the price of our strange food made with date, rosemary, and black pepper felt very wrong. Guess we payed triple for the ocean view.

The hosts were very friendly, and the restaurant was clean with plenty of seating.

We gave the benefit of the doubt, but the atmosphere never improved. We had planned on ordering food, but after one drink each we decided to head somewhere else. Maybe it was just an off day, so I'd still encourage others to give it a try and form their own opinion. Hopefully your experience is better than ours!

This spot has been feeding people since 1974, and you'll understand why in one bite. The lobster roll is the move, dressed simply so nothing gets in the way of the sweetness. It's a fraction of what you'd pay at a sit-down spot on the harbor. There's no dining room, just a few picnic tables scattered around the lot. It's not fancy. It's wonderful. It's the kind of stop that makes a long drive to Bar Harbor feel like part of the trip instead of an obstacle to it. Grab a roll and find a table in the shade.

In any case, the haddock chowder was both exemplary in how the haddock was cooked, and probably my favorite New England-style white chowder I've ever had.

(It may be at least partly nostalgia, though...for those of you who've been to Scotland, it's not far off from Cullen Skink!)
