    Scallops
    Andy W.

    The vista alone is worth the price of admission. But the cooking and presentation are on par with the view. Deviled eggs with caviar are a splurge, but each bite is a delight. Steak, scallop, and halibut entrees were very good. The creamed corn on the risotto highlighted the goodness of Maine corn. Cocktails are good, desserts an afterthought.

    This is a cute little restaurant on the warf. Has a great rooftop and very nice bartenders. 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!

    We had a lovely view of the water as we sipped our cocktails - a dirty martini and a cucumber drink that were both very good. The halibut was super delish with a crispy sear and very yummy beurre blanc sauce. The asparagus was nicely grilled and so tasty. We also got the citrus carrots that were perfectly cooked. Our waitress was good but a little too quick to clear the table at times. Had to guard my drink that still had a sip left lest she whisk it away. This is a really nicely decorated dining room with a romantic vibe.

    Came by the rooftop prior to, and through happy hour. It was not very busy yet and we were able to have our choice of seats. There is some seating under a fabric roof providing some shade. The oyster shooters were super fun and mussels tasty (though oysters/mussels were on the small side). I tried the trout dip as well, and may have ordered if we stayed longer. I enjoyed my cucumber cocktail. The server didn't seem to know much about happy hour upon asking. Happy hour here means everything is 10% off (no special menu). Prices are a little high here, but you're paying a premium for the location, view and atmosphere.

    Deviled eggs
    Lindsey T.

    The food was SPECTACULAR! Deviled eggs were amazing it was my first time trying caviar and it was a delicious salty topping to my eggs! The steak was nicely cooked and juicy! The clams were very big and the sauce they were in was packed with flavor! The fish was nice and the veggies on the side were so good it was the best asparagus we've ever had! The service was good although they were out of a couple dishes we wanted, I don't blame them because we did come at 8:30 and they close at 9:00, so we had to compromise and try some new dishes but we were very pleased with them! We sat on a nice booth over looking the waterfront, just beautiful! Definitely come down in Camden, this was one of our best meals of the trip!

    Came here with a reservation (recommended) on a weeknight, and it was pretty busy. We got some deviled eggs with caviar and I ordered the scallops. The eggs were fantastic, and as someone who very rarely indulges in caviar, I enjoyed the flavor it added. The scallops were delicious as well, perfectly cooked with the right amount of sweetness from the fruit. Service was very polite and helpful, and the place is thoughtfully decorated. They also have a rooftop bar with a nice view, where we went after dinner for a beer. Highly recommend for a good meal!

    My first experience at Salt Wharf was certainly a good one! First, the juxtaposition of architecture between the older part of Camden, and this newly developed area is very innovative. The design of the space is very cool with glass garage doors being opened up when the weather is good. The bar was small, but great looking, and definitely a cool place to sit if I was there alone. The food was quite good, and some dishes had a twist. We tasted a variety of menu items including the oysters with Black lime mignonette, the deviled eggs with caviar and the local mussels. All were excellent. Dinner was steak frites with one of the better chimmichuri sauces that I have ever eaten for sure. The lobster roll had some pickled vegetables in it including carrots, which seemed out of place, but I was told it was good. Our server was very knowledgeable, and fortunate for us, the weather was absolutely perfect. Can't beat the view of Camden Harbor.

    Located right on the wharf in a beautiful setting. Reservations recommended as the space is a little on the smaller side for the dinning area. Plenty of free parking. Our table was off to the side very close to another party so I wasn't super thrilled about that but it was a pleasant experience all the same. Beautiful bar and well crafted cocktails. We had the steak frites with truffle fries and the halibut. Both were well prepared and delicious. Perfect place for dinner and drinks or go for drinks and dessert!

    Such a cool location right on the water. We sat at the bar and had great service from our bartender. The fresh bread and oysters were easily our favorite!

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

White table cloth service. Servers were all excellent. Knowledgeable, friendly, efficient. This place has the best fine dining experience in the mid-coast. Food was outstanding- every course. I did find the printed à la carte and dessert menus odd as they list the dishes' main ingredients but lack any preparation detail. So we found ourselves having to ask about several dishes before being able to make a selection. Maybe it is on purpose but it made me a bit uncomfortable to keep asking about preparation of the dishes throughout the courses. The only real negative for us is the same negative we had 10 years ago. We were seated in the porch area and I suspect they fill this area first as it has wonderful views of the Camden Hills. Both times we have been seated in there, there have been loud, fairly obnoxious diners (#-bombs flying this last visit) in the room with us. Complete turn off but nothing the restaurant can do about it. We will try Natalie's again but will forgo the porch dining for another room.

Our server Ella was fantastic in walking us through the menu, giving us suggestions for our trip in Camden as newlyweds, and continually asking if we needed anything.

We had the Lobster Tasting Menu and Wagyu Steak and it was unreal. I would highly recommend. Dessert was some of the best I've ever had at a restaurant. We left so happy with our experience and would do it all over again. Thank you the whole staff for making our night so great.

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).

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.

This one is located in downtown Camden and offers some outdoor patio seating with great views. Sea Dog Brewing is by no means in talks of outstanding beers or brewery considering the far superior competition the state of Maine has. Even their most popular blueberry beer tastes much more artificial than you would hope. Sea Dog has been a brewery for a long while but I don't think they have kept up with the quality of craft beer you can find now. Now despite that negative talk overall about their beers I do believe most of the locations do offer quality pub food. You will find a variety of options including sandwiches/burgers, salads, pasta, soups, and more. It's a spot that everyone in your party including picky eaters will find something they want. It does have a lot of space available for dining. Service wise during our visit was alright. Ordering took awhile and time of seeing our server from one time to next took a little while. Food wise I went with Sesame Chicken Bowl and my wife got the Sautéed Lemony Chicken Piccata. Food was alright, my wife's chicken was quite dry. Overall I think it's an alright spot to grab a bite to eat when in Camden. You can likely find better spots but like I mentioned they do offer quite a variety here so give it a shot.
