After driving past the Thomaston Cafe for the last 15 years, we decided to give it a try, upon…read morediscovering that it was under new ownership. Under the old old ownership, the menu was unexciting, and the food mediocre. We went on wing night, which features .70 cent wings, and a selection of 5-6 $2 beers. We split two different kinds of wings, which we found to be pretty solid. For mains we had the haddock tacos, which were nicely fried, crispy, and had a pleasant sauce and slaw. My father ordered a burger and fries, and he very much enjoyed his. We appreciated the handcut (rather than frozen) fries. For dessert we ordered banana foster and creme brûlée. We were the last people in the place, due to it closing for the night, and we were given a huge portion of banana foster, with three scoops of ice cream. The creme brûlée was even better! 10/10, would return! It was a pleasant surprise, and it helped us avoid going into Rockland, like we would normally. Highly recommend giving it a shot for a spot to enjoy a drink. Their beer selection was impressive.

Sammy's deluxe... unforgettable experience. Was walking around Rockland and we just stumbled upon…read moreSammy's not knowing what to expect or what the menu was like. Sat at the bar since they were quite busy and haven't had a chance to clear a few tables. Restaurant reminds you of grandma's house, rustic, chic tables and chairs, mismatched dinnerwares and the whole ambiance playing "killin jive" from the 1940's. I wasn't born then but the whole vibe reminds you of that era that I only get a pleasure to watch on TV. Now for the food... Jonah's crab as you can expect was sweet and delicious but a pain to eat using your fighting tools however, the dip was heavenly. BF had the burger, he was surprised that you can't modify it, but thoroughly enjoyed how unique it was, I told him, the chef takes pride how he prepares his food, so you either take it as it is or get something else. Keep an open mind. And I had the overnight beef shank, wow, simple yet delicious, fork tender and luscious marrow. The celery and fennel salad added brightness to the dish and the blue cheese wasn't overwhelming. And I don't like blue cheese and this creativity made me wanting it more. The dish isn't a huge portion, but surprisingly it got me full that I left a few bites of the beef and the salad. For drinks, I had the Rosé and he had the New England India pale ale, light and bubbly. Service was okay, a little slow in the beginning and as the night went on, our server became friendlier.

"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. All the food is filled with Rosemary in a way that over-powers the non-existent other flavors. 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 menu appears normal at first but every item seems to randomly have nonsense ingredients mixed in. 2/5 would not go again. Many great restaurants in Camden, this isnt one.

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 halibut, I must declare, was nothing short of a revelation, a luminous masterpiece of the sea, cooked with such preternatural precision that it seemed to hover between succulence and sublimity, each flake surrendering its briny sweetness with the tenderness of a whispered secret. Our attendants moved with the balletic grace of practiced synchrony..swift, perceptive, almost prescient in their attentiveness, anticipating our every unspoken desire before it could even crystallize into thought. Truly, a dining experience that transcended the merely excellent and ascended into the rarified air of the unforgettable.

Fifth or sixth time here, mostly because I forgot it was only ok. Food is ok. After you're seated,…read moreservice is ok. BUT they let you stand in the hot sun in front of what seems like the door, they clearly see you standing there, but they don't tell you to enter from the side until 10 minutes have gone by. Takeaway: enter from the side. And then, if you're one of the MILLIONS of people who can't eat mayonnaise based sauces, then you're out of luck, especially if you want one of the specials, because they will not leave the aioli off the special. Even though it's a sauce at the bottom of the plate. No, sorry. I mean, Le Bernardin doesn't do that unnecessarily pretentious stuff. Only average. Except the stuffy attitude. Will pass next time.

This is a cute little restaurant on the warf. Has a great rooftop and very nice bartenders…read more We ate here a couple of times on our stay at Camden. First was lunch on the rooftop with drinks. I was hoping to try their deviled eggs, but they are only served in the restaurant after 4:00 pm. We both had the lobster rolls. Ample amount of lobster. Crispy buttery "toast". In my personal opinion, I wish there was a little more mayo. I like mine to be a little more "wet" and it really pulls all the flavors. We also had dinner. I was able to try the deviled eggs. They are gooood. Perfectly boiled and the filling was piped very nicely. Firm and good flavors. We did add the caviar. Caviar was good, nice amount of salty kick. My husband was not as impressed with the caviar. Said it was better without. He ordered the Roasted Halibut (asparagus, roasted fingerlings, cherry tomato, lemon caper beerre blanc.) He said it was cook perfectly great blending flavors. Only compliant, it was a small piece of fish. I orders the Fra Diavolo (maine lobster, linguine, calabrian chile) Wow. This was soo delicious. Lobster in anything is a must. The linguine was perfect. The sauce. Of the sauce was light and flavorful. I loved that it had a nice heat and spice but it was not overwhelming. I think this would also be nice for someone that is not a fan of spicy. Our waitress Emma was wonderful!
