    Strawberry cheesecake
    Tara P.

    Wanted a sweet treat after a long hot day of work. Vampire penguin popped up near me so I wanted to check it out. The pictures do not do justice. This was the regular size and it was a great portion. Strawberry cheesecake with boba and cool whip! It was so yummy! And the girls working were the sweetest!

    Our first visit was so good we went back the next two nights for a treat. The friendly staff and the menu selection were fantastic. The place is a neat little place to visit.

    What a great place! The staff was super friendly, and the atmosphere was so fun. Wow, I'm pretty sure this is the best frozen dessert I have ever had. It would be worth traveling across the country just to eat this again.

    My whole family absolutely loves Vampire Penguin. The sweet family owned and operated treat shop really takes pride in their product. The fresh cut fruit, boba and variety of topping and flavor choices. They even have vegan chocolate and non-dairy flavors. The service is excellent, the vibe is good for locals and visitors alike.

    The desserts are beautiful and artistic. The toppings taste good. But the shaved ice falls apart and doesn't have much appeal by itself. Employee couldn't explain what it was in consistent / understandable terms. (Listened to similar questions while we were there). Would not return.

    This is such a fun and new approach to dessert. It was delicious and such a pretty presentation. The customer service was amazing. They were so helpful explaining things since we were new to this dessert. We'll visit again next time we're in Brunswick!

    Everything about the dining experience here was fantastic. The ambiance of soft green and rich…read morebrown spoke to the nature lover in me. The appetizer (charcuterie board), the entrees (filet and chicken) and the desserts (brownies à la mode) were beyond delicious. The service was delightful! This is a hidden gem in Brunswick and is my new favorite restaurant!

    The wife and I visited Reid's Apothecary for our 46th wedding anniversary which is a cute little…read morerestaurant in downtown Brunswick. Because the restaurant is downtown there is plenty of free street parking spaces right outside the door. There is a bar, with bar seating, The other seating consisted of normal table with hard back chairs, and couches that ran down the side of the wall with tables, and hard back chairs on the other side. Overall, the service was adequate, not good, and certainly not great, but good enough not to stop us from enjoying our night out. I started with what was supposed to be a cup of Tomato Bisque but received and paid for a bowl. Somewhat my fault for not realizing that my serving and what I paid for was large and more expensive than the cup I ordered. With that said, I thought the flavor of the bisque served with, Garlic Buttered Crostini, and grated Smoked Gouda was outstanding. The temperature could have been a bit warmer, but again the flavor was sport on. The wife and I split a very large bowl of PEI Mussels. The Mussels were served in a white wine broth with Shallots, Garlic, Roasted Tomatoes, and Bacon. Honestly, I could and did finish the broth off as a soup. There were quite a few Mussels that did not open, but the bowl was so large, we wouldn't have eaten them anyway. The wife's main dish was the Pan Seared Sea Scallops, with peach and bacon risotto, and fresh Spinach. The dish was finished with an amazing Bourbon Peach Brown Butter Reduction. The scallops were large, the Risotto was great, but the brown butter reduction was the absolute star of the dish. For my main dish I had the Curried Lamb Lollipops, served over Cilantro Basmati Rice, and roasted Tomatoes with an excellent curry sauce. The chops were of good size and cooked to perfection. And please don't even get me started on the fired Garlic Butter Paratha which is some of the best bread I have ever had. My mistake was ordering a side of the Peach and Bacon Risotto similar to what was served with the scallop dish. Without the Bourbon Peach Brown Butter Reduction however, the risotto ate a little dry and had little to no peach flavor. I finished my meal with a bourbon , Mascarpone, bread pudding, which was amazing. The dish was loaded with bourbon which both my wife and I agreed was not completely cooked off. Great dish to finish an outstanding meal. Even with a few minor missteps, the overall flavor of the dishes were so good, I still must give it an overall 5.
