Very friendly place, cute brick interior. Had 6 oysters to start, very tasty. Loved my berry French toast and maple sausage. My husband's burger was reported as "good". The sauce under the baked fries was a bit heavy and had a vinegary bite to it. If you are not a brunch person there is the burger and salad but not much else for lunch goers. Service was quick to start then got slow as the kitchen got backed up. Might be best to arrive after noon.

We have been coming to this restaurant for many years, and until this visit it was one of our…read morefavorite places to eat in Maine. Unfortunately, our experience over Labor Day weekend so bad, I felt compelled to post a review to warn people that if the restaurant is busy, go elsewhere unless you want to be yelled at by the General Manager. We arrived 10-15 minutes early for our 7:00 reservation and were asked to wait because the restaurant was extremely busy, completely understandable. After asking for permission to wait in the lounge area where there were open seats, we were told no, that we must wait in the small area sandwiched between the bar, the door, the bathrooms and the hostess stand. So we chose to wait outside where there was a table with two chairs since my mother-in-law, who is over 80 and has a heart condition, really needed to be seated for the wait. Since we were not told how long the wait for the table would be, I did what I thought was a totally normal thing, ask those in my party if they wanted a drink during the wait and went in to the bar to place an order. The manager first approached me to tell me that I was not allowed to sit in one of the 4 open seats at the bar. I had not attempted to do so but was waiting at that opening to order drinks. But the manager prevented me from doing so, accused me of trying to "push ahead of the line," telling me that his bartender was "so confused" by my attempt to walk up to her and order drinks. He told me he would send a server outside to get our order but no one came so i just popped back inside and stood at the corner of the bar with the intent to order a glass of icewater for my mother-in-law - the manager immediately accosted me and aggressively asked me if I even had a reservation, if we had even checked in for it and the hostess confirmed we had and that it was for 7:00. So then the Manager told me yet again that they were extraordinarily busy, "couldn't I see that?", and that I had to wait until the reservation time came before I would be permitted to order anything from the bar. It was 6:54. The interaction escalated from there. After I returned outside to tell my party that we were not allowed to order anything until 7:00, the manager followed me outside, loudly reprimanded me for "making a scene," that we didn't have to eat at his restaurant, and then told us our table was ready where he continued arguing with and admonishing me as he escorted us through the restaurant to our table--even after I had sat down. When I later Googled the restaurant to find the name of the general manager so I could complain, I identified the person I had interacted with as Shane MacCarthy, the general manager. I understand that restaurants get overwhelmed on busy holiday weekends. A wait or slow service would not have bothered me. Being treated this way by the general manager did. I have never been to a restaurant where customers awaiting a table are not only not allowed to order a drink from a functioning bar. I have never been in a restaurant where a customer is yelled out for crime of walking up to a bar and ordering a round of drinks from the bartender. I am not sure if the manager was just having a bad night, or that this is the standing policy that they refuse to serve anything to customers waiting to be seated. I don't care to try eating at Water Street again to find out - we won't be back. Anyone have recommendations for a new favorite place to eat near Wiscasset?

What an incredible farm-to-table meal at Primo in Rockland!…read moreThe setting is fantastic--it feels like an old home that has been beautifully converted into a restaurant. Each level has its own personality, with just a handful of tables in each room and different décor throughout. And the food? Amazing. The portions are just the right size--perfect for sharing...or for holding onto your plate so nobody else gets a bite! Everything we had was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. The staff really puts the experience over the top. Extremely friendly, sociable, knowledgeable, and more than willing to offer some excellent recommendations. Make your reservation WELL in advance. With an atmosphere this unique, fantastic farm-to-table food, and service you'd expect from a Michelin-level restaurant, it's no surprise Primo fills up fast. Can't wait to get back to Rockland--and Primo will absolutely be on the itinerary!

My wife and I have been celebrating as many anniversaries as we can at Primo. With the exception of…read more2020 and 2025 we haven't missed a year. However. This year made us realize that this is our last year. It was our 25th and we were looking forward to it. It started with the hostess who was annoyed that we showed up 7 minutes early for our reservation and told us they were running on time and to take a walk in the garden and come back at the exact time of our reservation. Which we did. We were seated by the manager who seemed impatient. He handed us the menus and walked off. A detail I didn't consider until I noticed that the other manger handed the menus and went over some drink specials and menu specials. Our server was nice in the beginning although seemingly distracted. We found out a little later they had a wedding party upstairs and the kitchen was behind. We didn't mind because we were there for the experience as much as the food. However as the night rolled on and things took longer and longer, the staff seemed more and more annoyed with us for ordering our meal. By the end of the meal, our server asked if we wanted a cheese or dessert service and seemed very annoyed when we said yes. At this point we were 2 1/2 hours in and they wanted us out. However, we were still there because it had taken so long for our service and food. In the end we split a strawberry shortcake, which was very good, I had a coffee, and we got out of there. They wanted us out and we didn't want to stay any more. What is sad is we have been celebrating our anniversary for 20 years there as often as we can and this, our 25th was the worse experience we have ever had and we won't return. It broke our hearts.

It was tender and very yummy, we had a salad as well and that was delishious as well. We ordered the lamb chops with greens (horta) and potatoes. the lamb was from upstate Maine and was very fresh and cooked perfectly, the potatoes were crispy. The restuarant was in a nice homey neighborhood and we found street parking no problem. The restaurant is lovely inside, light and airy with an island feel. the waitstaff was very nice and friendly and our meals and drinks came out in perfect time. we met Nancy the owner who we became fast friends. she smart dedicated and creative.

My wife and I popped in here last night for dinner and a first round of drinks. It was 7pm on a…read moreWednesday and it was at about half capacity, so we had no trouble walking in and being seated right away, though the upstairs seating (which looked really cool) was sadly full. No matter - we got prime seating at the bar with full view of the kitchen and watching everyone prepare everything! Right out of the gate, we were impressed with the friendliness and professionalism of the staff and the vibe of the place. Even though it was relatively small, it never felt cramped at all and the decor and look just felt so sleek and modern but also warm and just a place you wanted to be. We started with drinks - an Emerald Oasis for me and a Desert Rose for the lady. The Emerald Oasis was tasty, refreshing, slightly minty with a hint of cucumber, and relatively mild in flavor. The Desert Rose was also equally refreshing with a good amount of smoke flavor and some pleasant floral notes. What's weird to me though is that it's a tequila drink with smoke added... why not just use mezcal and call it a day? I actually mistakenly thought it was mezcal when I tried it as it had a very similar flavor profile. Overall, both solid but not necessarily earth-shattering flavor bombs. For an app, we ordered some seared halloumi to start. It was a pretty small portion (two pieces for each of us equated to about 4 normal size bites each) but the flavor was really nice with a touch of heat from the peppers and a little crunch from the sunflowers. I'm definitely glad we got it and I know halloumi is expensive, but I feel like I could've used just a little more oomph somehow. Next up was the whipped feta. My wife is celiac so they got me some pita on the side and her some crudites in the form of sliced carrots and cucumbers. The pita was warm, slightly chewy, slightly crispy in some spots, and a good amount of fluffiness. The whipped feta was tasty with the pomegranate molasses giving it some depth and character but the whole thing started getting a little soupy and hard to really scoop up without a spoon towards the end. Again, another solid dish but maybe would try the hummus next time. Lastly - entrees. I started with the paprika shrimp. It was a good amount of sauce to cover the whole dish though I feel like it relied a lot on the spiciness instead of depth of flavor. Also, and maybe this is a personal thing, any dish that has shrimp with tails still on but covered in sauce is kind of annoying to get the tails off without getting your hands super messy. I get the presentation of it but still. Also, the chickpeas were slightly dry and crunchy, but that may very well be the intention and design of the dish. I didn't mind it and the sauce balanced it out nicely, but it was a bit unexpected. My wife got the Moroccan mushroom (after an oopsie that sent what was supposed to be hers to another table by mistake first and then fired up a new one right away in about 10 minutes). It was a really nice dish with lots of flavor and locally foraged mushrooms. I'm not a mushroom fan and I even thought it was pretty tasty! All in all, a really solid experience but at the same time just about every item feels like it could have been just a little bit more - whether it was flavor or amount or something. The presentation on everything was full-blown Michelin star quality too (as it was on all the other dishes we saw floating around too), though I question why the large amount random space on the plate on our two entrees. The shrimp I guess you could get away with but half an empty plate on the mushrooms just felt like it was being a little too artsy. I'm not a chef or even a professional food critic though, so what do I know? :) I wouldn't mind going back here but I wouldn't go out of my way to go back either.
