    We hosted a reception at Enoteca Athena, and it was amazing from start to finish! The entire staff was so kind and on top of everything, making sure our guests were happy and the event ran smoothly (no one went without a full drink in their hand)! And the sommelier had an amazing wine selection and also helped us pick out some great signature cocktails. This entire event would not have been possible without Carla, the owner of Enoteca Athena. She was wonderful to work with--super responsive, flexible, and clearly cares about every detail. The food was incredible (everyone is still talking about it!) and the drinks were just as good (highly recommend the strawberry fields cocktail in the summer). Everything was spectacular, but my personal favorite was the halloumi! The atmosphere was perfect for our celebration: cozy, lively, and full of charm. It honestly felt like the whole team went above and beyond to make our afternoon special. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate and may have to do this again every summer!

    This restaurant is so cute and inviting as soon as you walk in. My daughter wanted us to eat as a family here after having a wonderful time here for her bday w friends. I had the Prosecco on tap to start and my husband and daughter tried mocktails . We began with the plate that had a variety of olives feta, and spreads it was delicious. I chose the GF pasta in a gf sauce, both my daughters had the mushroom cream sauce pasta and my husband the gyro. We all loved our meals! I highly recommend.

    We had decided that we needed a night out - been a busy and crazy wet early summer! Enoteca was the choice - we started with yummy martinis - just right, dry and cold, and were perfect with the deep fried artichoke hearts - they were light and delish. We followed that with the caesar salad - aptly described on the menu as complete with real anchovies! We then moved to a lovely Piedmont Rose and a couple more small plates - Arancini and then the gyro special. I was full before the gyro, but it traveled well and was great the next day (according to Wayne!) Bonus - we didn't spend a ton, had great food, wonderful and attentive service. The dining room is also a treat - they have outside tables, which we may try next time!

    Mediterranean pasta

    I ate here twice during my week long stay in Brunswick. The first meal was good enough that I wanted to come back, but the second meal was a big disappointment. For the first meal I started with the Soup of day, onion leek. It was creamy and tasty The ashes to ashes specialty cocktail is scrumptious. Shout out to bartender Henry for a perfect rye cocktail Mediterranean pasta was good. Portion is quite small, but nice blend of flavors and I added guanciale which helps bring more flavor to the dish. Second meal. We started with the same cocktail, yum! We split a Greek salad which was very good. Unfortunately, we went with the waitresses recommendation and both had the Maccheroni allá chiatarra (Haddock over pasta). After two bites my dinner companion, a Brunswick local, looked at me and said "It's tuna casserole. And it needs salt." She was right. The dish looks and tastes like a regular tuna casserole you make at home. And it was under seasoned. $26 and not worth it. I wish I'd gone with my first choice and tried the risotto. Bread side was cold and just a few pieces for $5. We also tried the orange cake which was described as moist with oranges in it. It was a basic bundt cake with no fruit in it. Kind of dry and without much flavor. They do have a nice choice of digestives. Waitress was not very attentive. She never asked us how our meal was, etc. Best thing about the second meal was the cocktails.

    Joyful Tidings cocktail and the funghi con panna (mushroom pasta)

    I just enjoyed a lovely dinner at the bar. The bartender, Russell, was very attentive despite serving food to a full bar and providing wine and cocktails to the entire restaurant. I had the carciofini fritti (fried artichoke hearts), funghi con panna (mushroom pasta), joyful tidings cocktail and cannoli with pistachios. All were clearly fresh made and simply delicious. I've been working my way through the Brunswick restaurants since my son started college here last fall, and this was by far the best meal I've had so far. Fresh ingredients and a friendly staff--a perfect combination.

    Dry martini with a twist

    I was in town for an Alumni event and took myself out the first night in town. I sat at the bar. Great food. Superb martini. Cool vibe. Attentive bartender. I was quite pleased. Go visit!

    Fried artichokes (this isn't the full serving, we'd already eaten some)

We already have some excellent local Asian restaurants but we don't have too many places, serving upscale bistro and pub food in an attractive setting. As this was our first time here, our server, Joshua, Was especially helpful and attentive in beverage and menu selections. And he did a really nice job of trying that all of the dishes came out at the right time in the right order, which isn't done often enough. Joshua highly recommended the falafel and I join him in that recommendation. The switch to lentils is the base made an exceptionally light but tasty version of a wonderful favorite. The mug, fish and cabbage dish was delicious, though maybe a bit larger certain of lentils, maybe with a bit more spice, would've made this dish even better . The risotto with crab was delicious, but the crab was lost in the dish, so it probably would be better as a crabcake or as a amount of crab meat on top of the risotto. And normally addition to risotto are made at the very end anyway, so this makes sense to get the most out of the crab. We had several glasses of wine, with generous pours; the Sancerre was exceptionally good and paired well with everyone's dishes. There are some excellent local beers on top as well for those who want beer rather than wine. One of our group had some of the oysters and said that they were extremely fresh and delicious - they were local from Brunswick (Mere Point). The desserts and after dinner drinks looked good, but we were full enough that we'll wait until another visit to do that.

The knowledgeable staff who are genuinely happy to guide you whether you're a longtime oyster lover or just getting started made it easy for the group to pick what they wanted. I am the oddity of the group-seafood isn't my thing-but happily you're not an afterthought here. The charcuterie boards are all delicious and have a variety of quality meats, cheeses, and accompaniments that feel intentional and indulgent, not like a consolation prize. It's a place where everyone at the table can order something they're happy to eat. You can feel the care behind the owners intention. Supporting a local female-owned business that delivers this level of quality and hospitality is an easy yes. Perfect for sunny summer snacks, small gatherings, or bringing together friends with different tastes. We always look forward to their doors reopening in the spring.

    **November 2025: Friday Early Afternoon Visit**…read more My friend and I were wandering Wiscasset and were in need of a restroom. We couldn't find one and decided to dine in to use their facilities. I think we were among the first diners and realized that the restaurant was really nice and had such a wonderful view of the water. Our server was incredibly kind and hospitality. She informed us that the soup of the day was clam chowda to which both of us wanted right away. The chowda was flavorful and had a good amount of clams (many other restaurants choose to load it with potatoes, but not this one!). The soup does lean more brothy versus gravy-like which is a personal preference but taste wise it was still soothing. The menu had a lot of really great seafood options so I decided to try their Maine mussels. Our waitress said that the broth was really wonderful and would pair nicely with garlic bread which I also ordered. The entrees came out pretty quickly and the serving size of my mussels was double what I thought it would be. The mussels looked massive and the meat was as fresh mussels should taste. It was an excellent dish. The garlic bread would be a great vessel to soak up the mussel broth, but I felt that the bread was a little thin and slightly over-toasted to really soak up the broth. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the overall experience and it does feel like a local spot.
