This little gem is nestled in against the river. I stopped by chance on my way through. Wow! The quality of the food - unbelievable. The building is right on the water. The service is friendly and fun. If you are looking for great food and a casual atmosphere, this is the place to go. But don’t tell too many people. Because we want to keep this place for ourselves! 20/10 highly recommended!

We stopped here on a road trip through Maine. It was a great place! We sat with our dogs on the patio and looked out at the river. The crunchy salad was great, real crisp and fresh, with tasty sweet chili dressing. The service was fairly fast, even though it seemed like there was just one person taking care of all the tables (it’s a pretty small place.) There was a real nice, friendly atmosphere and a lovely view!

We travel to this part of Maine every year from Arizona to escape the heat. We love trying different restaurants, and we were intrigued by the menu choices here. It is not a very large place, but it sure is friendly, cozy, and delicious! The food looked and tasted amazing! We also got to sit on the ledge overlooking the river, and it was a beautiful view. The service was outstanding; the waitress was very thorough with her descriptions from their diverse menu. On our visit, we had the barbacoa beef roll and the Steak and Cheese sandwich. Both were amazing, and we paired them with the coleslaw and the street corn salad which were also excellent. There are so many great things to try on our next visit!

I had only stopped in during the summer to enjoy the patio - a great stream view! Inside during the winter months was just as good! The bar tender Jade, and all of the staff were welcoming and friendly! The cozy ambiance made you want to stay for just one more! Great menu, delicious food, and drink menu with something for everyone. Definitely will go again! Thank you!
