Great for groups! - I have always found the Sea Dog to be good at handling groups of people. My…read morelatest visit - was a for a group of poets/writers and we were quickly accommodated without a reservation. The Sea Dog is famous for it's standard pub grub and mug club. It's your typical New England style burgers, salads, lobster rolls, appetizers and seasonal offerings. I've never had a bad meal at the Sea Dog Topsham location. Like I said - we were a big group and our Server was excellent about separating our tabs, taking our food orders, and the drinks came fast. The location is in a gorgeous old mill overlooking the river with outdoor dining in the summer. This location is super popular so there is usually a wait - but the wait goes fast. If you're in the area I do recommend filling your belly. The hummus and olive app is my fave!

We stopped here after watching LOTR at a local theater, and got to try out their early launch of an…read moreevening menu. It was absolutely fantastic. They were super accomidating and went out of their way to make us feel welcomed. We got to try their herbed butter candle along with some rustic bread and let me tell you, it was wild how tasty that butter was, not to mention the fun of the butter candle. We had a BBQ burger along with the pretzel and beer cheese, as well as a cocktail and a mulled wine. It was quite possibly the best beer cheese we have ever had, and the burger was fantastic as well. The cocktail was brilliantly balanced and absolutely gorgeous in presentation as well. Obviously the decor and vibe of the whole place is incredible. It does a great job of blending cozy and fantasy along with a modern cafe/bistro. Can't wait to go back, and overall hope to see their evening menu open soon.

Came here with our son visiting from Seattle - and who is a huge LOTR fan. He loved the decor and…read morethe food. His French toast was cooked perfectly (not too dry or lacking spices as sometimes happens). My wife liked the eggs Benedict and I was very happy with my scallion pancake wrap, which was a full meal plus enough for a light breakfast the next day. The coffee drinks, hot or cold, are a nice change up from what we usually order at any of the half-dozen amazing and friendly coffee shops / bakeries within a few hundred yards. My orange mocha was a mocha but with a light and delicious overlay of orange. My wife loved her cinnamon bun latte - we'll have to make these at home on a cold blustery evening.

Went to Dutchmans and wasnt expecting the greatest bagel but was very surprised..travel out of…read morecertain areas its hard to find a decent bagel but Dutchmans gets it right, so delicious! My only suggestion they have a bagel with a "schmear" which is alittle bit of cream cheese, there was delicious tasting cream cheese but there was so much of it on the bagel it made for a messy meal... In NYC you can get a schmear! Definitely will return! Excellent drink menu as well!

Dutchman's was worth the stop while in town. There was a huge line by 9am on Saturday, so clearly…read moreit's a favorite among locals. The space is very unique, a very comfortable, open place to enjoy some coffee and a bagel. The bagels were decent for the area, but not my favorite type of bagel (a little bready). I thought it was a little pricey for what I got, but with a line as long as it was, Dutchman's can justify the prices. I'm picky when it comes to bagels, so my rating is reflective of that. I am of the opinion that New York/New Jersey bagels are the pinnacle of the bagel world, and the further away from New York you get, the harder it is to find somewhere that gets close to meeting that standard. I'd still stop by if I'm in town again, as long as I get there before the big morning rush. Not sure it would be worth the 20+ person line.

Both were very pleasant and every time a meal was ready from the kitchen, you could hear them say thank you to the cooking crew. The menu options are pretty standard and the prices are reasonable. They have a special board, so make sure to check that out before placing your order. They also have lunch specials on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. The dining area is very accessible. And there are no stairs upon entry. I'm not sure about the accessibility of the bathrooms, though. Besides booths and tables, there is a counter with about eight stools.

Looking for a European-feeling cafe in Brunswick? Looking for a place you can spend hours at…read morecomfortably solo with a book and a coffee? Looking to have a nibble and a mocktail or cocktail with friends? The Abbey has it (and more). The vibe: relaxed, warm, mid-modern meets minimalism, gorgeous stained glass windows, lots of natural light pouring in, the most comfortable seats you've ever sat in at a high top, lots of wood and greenery, a playlist that makes you stop and lean in. It's a cozy place that makes you want to stay a while. The drinks: I tried an iced cardamom latte with oat milk and it was fantastic (if you've ever had the vanilla cardamom cold brew coffee from Trader Joe's, it was an elevated version of that). I've also had a couple cocktails - since they make their syrups in house when they run out, they run out and your drink might be unavailable... BUT the staff is exceptional at making alternate recommendations and even making totally off menu drinks entirely! The food: Several (clearly labeled) vegan options! We tried the muhammara (a housemade dip topped with spiced walnuts, chickpeas, and three half slices of toasted sourdough) and the hummus plate (housemade and topped with marinated chickpeas and a drizzle of olive oil, accompanied by six naan wedges). LOVE the quantity of both dips, but wish there was some other dipping vessel outside of (the sometimes stodgy) bread. A little heap of rainbow veggies would be amazing! While the muhammara was a bit more liquidy than I've had elsewhere, the hummus was thicker than I was expecting. Solid shareable options regardless! (Grab a seat, order at the counter, and they'll call your name when your drinks are ready so you can go grab them; if you've ordered food, they'll bring that to your table. It was confusing what the clean-up situation was, several of us just sort of walking back to the bar with our plates and cups.) Excited to return again!
