We love to see old mills renovated/repurposed. We were excited to visit Fish Bobes Grill. So…read moreworth the visit. We were greeted by owner Ryan. Very personable and so passionate about this new life chapter with is wife (new owners since Feb. 2025). Everything is made to order so there can be a wait. Plus it gets busy at lunch. We suggest ordering your drink and maybe an appetizer while you study the menu. The mussels were amazing!!! Bigger than Prince Edward Island in a roasted tomato and chorizo sauce. Served with grilled buttered/seasoned sourdough bread. We brought the remaining sauce home. My husband ordered the beer battered fresh haddock sandwich with fries. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich with cheese and bbq sauce on toasted sourdough. Also served with fries. Both so amazing. We had the the flour less chocolate torte with vanilla ice cream. The torte was very dense and rich. So good. The ice cream cut some of the richness. So elegant inside with the exposed brick, concrete floors and beautiful decorating. They take it up a notch with everything they do. Water served once you are seated. Silverware rolled in cloth napkins. Sourdough bread. No feeling that you have to rush through your meal. A little extra in food presentation; ketchup in a little dish with the fries for example. Great fries by the way. The outdoor dining area is set up with greenery to keep it private and decorated with little lights for that romantic feel. On Lincoln Street in the Bates Mill building. Please come visit Ryan and the staff. The prices are reasonable and they also serve dinner. Very happy.

I haven't been here in forever, it never was a place that thrilled me. But I ran into an old friend…read morewho said they'd been in the kitchen here for the past 6+ years, so I had to give em another shot. Damn! I don't know if they stepped up their game, if last time I was here was an off day or if my man in the kitchen has anything to do with it. But this place lives in a while different place in my brain. Apps Asparogi Avvolti: Prosciutto wrapped asparagus with fontina cheese and balsamic glaze. Sweet young asparagus, wrapped in salty prosciutto with nutty fontina melted over the topped, drizzled with the perfect about if sweet glaze. Fried Calamari: calamari, fried cherry peppers, arugula, and cherry pepper aïoli. Fresh, breading was light and crispy. My only complaint here is there weren't enough tentacles, a lot of rings. I usually only eat tentacles because the rings are usually close cousins to rubber bands. That was not the case here, but I still wanted more tentacles. Either way very delicious. Main Brick Oven Brie Pizza!! Amazing, they crossed perfect, light chewy cooked through, not soggy in the middle. Everything you want out of pizza crust. I find myself constantly disappointed in the Lewiston Auburn area when it comes to pizza. There's one other place I go that's in Auburn, it's nice to know there is a second option if you want a pizza crust that doesn't taste and feel like cardboard. I will be back to try more things and let you know all about them.

My son brought me to this spacious and gorgeous restaurant while I was visiting him in Lewiston,…read moreME. The brick and wooden beam architecture from the old milll remains which provides such an aesetically pleasing atmosphere. It is great that this building has been able to be repurposed . We sat at the bar which is a full bar. My son dines here often and recommened some dishes he had tried. There were many dishes on the menu I wanted to try! Garlic knots were the first things out and they were very tasty and addictive. My son decided on the linguini carbonara, although not a classic carbonara dish, it remains one of his favorites. I tried it and it was creamy, indulgent, fresh, and the pasta was perfectly cooked. I chose the gnocchi with in house made bolognese sauce topped with ricotta cheese. I loved it and it tasted even better heated up the next day. Entrees come with a choice of soup or salad; he went with the salad and I had the homemade Italian wedding soup. We were both pleased with our choices. The portions were quite generous, service was on point all evening, and the entire establishment and restrooms were immaculately clean and well organized. Large parking lot, but heard it fills up fast at this popular spot. I highly recommend and look forward to returning.

The Red Barn is a legendary Augusta, Maine restaurant. A fixture in the community, if you will…read more They've been a part of the Augusta landscape for decades (since '77). What are they famous for you ask? Well, seafood...of course. Specifically, the lobster roll. My boyfriend loves the lobster roll! I had the popcorn chicken basket with crinkle fries that I could eat everyday if given the choice. The seasoning and breading are just right & fried until golden brown without sacrificing safe cooking or flavor. Another one of those busy places-it's a restaurant that attracts locals and tourists. They've always got inspirational quotes on their marquee. Outdoor patio seating (tables with umbrellas) and a no-frills, basic interior decor. Gives total seaside vibes.

They turned tables quickly so the wait wasn't crazy. We tried Eventide for the first time 8 years ago on a trip to Maine and it was amazing so we were pleasantly surprised when it was the same on this visit. It is on the spendy side but worth it! We were seated at the bar on our visits and the bartenders/servers were amazing!

I have only had a few lobster rolls but this one was solid! The lobster was sweet and coated in that delicious buttery glaze and it was lightly hugged by a pillowy bao-style bread roll. A bit different by traditional standards but yummy nonetheless. The oysters were some of the best I have had! So fresh, slightly briney, and full of flavor! Service: Service was great! We had a full party and they did their best to accommodate us :). Hospitality was fantastic. Ambiance: Lively with good coastal vibes.

Have you ever pulled up to a restaurant and you were the only guest there so you start to wonder if…read morethe place is actually any good? lol ... thats what happened when we went there, but we stuck it out and were VERY happy we did. We came around lunch time and as we ordered our food the place began to fill up and by the time we were leaving the place was starting to get packed out! Their food is simple, fresh ingredients made without any pretenses. If you are considering making the drive, I recommend you do because it was completely worth it!

I wish this was closer to Portland. Then again, I don't wish that at all, as the snobby city-folk…read morewould probably destroy the charm of this place. It is a relaxed and unassuming vibe. Everyone seemed to be locals/regulars. The fish market is on the left side, and the dining area on the right. They let me know to just sit anywhere, and yes, they do table service. The haddock sandwich is outstanding. The fish was fresh, of quality, and still moist. The bun is nothing to scoff at, as they use quality bread from a proper bakery and not a factory. It makes a difference! Pay with cash and get a whopping 4% discount.

Did I have the best lobster I've ever had in my life, here at this spot? Why yes, yes I did…read more Our family we were staying with lived just down the road from this joint, and they let us know that we could not leave until we came here. It's exactly where you would want to get your seafood from: out of a tiny shack right by the water, enjoyed on a picnic table. Maybe I'm getting better at my lobster-cracking, or these were a lot easier to eat! I was told that they have soft-shell and hard-shell lobster. With the platter, you'll also get a large ear of corn, dinner roll and cole slaw. And lemme tell ya.... It's A LOT of food!! But you can get it by itself or substitute sides, as well. I'm so glad we got to come here to mark 'eat a Maine lobster' off of our list. I can't think of a better place to do it!!
