We arrived in Camden after a long trip and was recommended to try the Waterfront by our lodge staff. We checked in and rested for a short bit and headed to the Waterfront Restaurant. The restaurant is cozy and quaint and we were seated immediately. Our waitress was excellent and very auttentive to our needs. I started off with a... More

We visited this restaurant at the suggestion of some locals, I probably would not have found it otherwise. It is tucked away on the waterfront and not easily visible. Fortunately I followed directions and found this place. Many of the dishes had a unique twist in addition to the classics. It made me want to try everything but I wasn't... More

While we've always been well treated at this staple restaurant in Camden, occasionally, you like to eat elsewhere. So, last night we tried Cappy's, which is normally a good choice. Problem was, the waitress was more concerned with cleaning off and setting up three empty tables than she was in seating us. We finally just took one of the tables,... More

No thanks was my reply, bill immediately put on table and walks off. Taking photograph before we leave she returns and waits for us to pay. Only... More

My friend and I stopped here for a cold drink and a nice meal after hiking the Camden hills. We shared a bottle of wine and a couple of appetizers, the crab dip is amazing, along with the mussels. They also had stuffed mushrooms that day, it was Easter Sunday. The prices were incredibly reasonable. The portions were huge and... More

The pemaquid oysters here were plump, sweet, and grit free. They were absolutely delish!!! The service was good. I was hesitant because of reviews, but our resort said it was good. I was pleased. My husband had a special order that was no problem, very accomodating.

We really enjoyed Waterfront. We visited while on vacation in spring. The setting indoors and out was beautiful. It really was appropriate for all occasions from family to formal and we saw it all! Each of us enjoyed our meals and we could not decide who had the best one. I must say that they served me the best fried... More

I take pride in finding good deals on food by using happy hour specials. This restaurant has a happy hour special until 6 pm on wings--$5. What they don't tell you is that they reduce the plate of wings to 5 wings. They were the size of safety pins, and they weren't that good. Oh well, you know what they... More

This restaurant came recommended by the Inn we stayed and after looking at the other options in the area for dinner we decided to try it. Everything about it was wonderful! The restaurant is nicely decorated and gives you a nice view of the harbor. I've seen some of the bad reviews here and maybe, it was because we were... More

Terrible food preparation though the menu looks good. They have the best location on the harbor so they get away with the food. Open year round and community oriented so locals go. You don't go for the food but the atmosphere.
