So fancy, so delicious. This is fine dining right here in Lewiston. Try the smoked wings! Great place.

It was our first visit and we were unfamiliar with the menu. So we didn't know what to order. Our waitress was very nice.. I ordered the Mixed Grill. The presentation was beautiful. I enjoyed the nice and big succulent fish and it was grilled perfectly. The scallop shrimp skewers were delicious and had a nice seasoned spice on them. My husband enjoyed a bowl of seafood chowder. I ordered the delicious truffle and basil risotto which could feed up to 4 people. We probably will go back but only on special occasions due to the cost. But its understandable since some of the meals contain seafood and choice meats. We has no cocktails and just had water. The final cost was just under $50. The atmosphere was pleasant and they can accommodate large parties. Great large lounge as well. read more

Never had a bad meal here! Especially enjoy the lobster Rangoon. I also like that they serve nice mocktails. A little pricey, but worth it for a nice night out. read more

I've been to Fish Bones a few times in the past, and recently had the opportunity to visit again after buying a gift certificate in an auction for the Theater at Monmouth - thanks, Fish Bones, for supporting local arts! My husband and I went for an early dinner, and made a reservation just in case - this place tends to get packed at around 6 until the end of the evening. We split an app - the Asian-inspired Crispy Calamari - which was really delicious. The "tentacle" part was especially exciting - what a satisfying crunch! For dinner we both had steak - my spouse had the Strip Filet and Shrimp, and I had the Mill Street Steak Salad. Both were really good, though I thought my salad was a bit overdressed, could have used more vegetables, and my "medium well" steak tips were definitely well done. The cabbage and green bean veggie of the day that came with my husband's meal were delicious - the cabbage especially was tender and flavorful. For dessert we shared the creme brûlée and the (OMG) caramel cheesecake. Both were out of this world. The staff was friendly and pleasant, and food was out of the kitchen in a reasonably short amount of time, even as the place started filling up. Great date night restaurant! read more

I was in town for work and wanted to grab a quick bite with a colleague before he headed to the airport. Fish Bones was recommended to me by a local so I looked forward to trying it out. My star rating below: 1- star for the excellent service from our hostess and waitress. Everyone at Fish Bones was friendly and welcoming. 1-star for the bread basket. OMG I don't even know how to describe how awesome the breads were. They offer it, so definitely take them up on it when asked. The zucchini bread, sourdough and focaccia are amazing. I believe the breads are baked in house and their freshness shows. They also brought softened butter which even as a little thing, makes a huge difference in the experience. 1-star for the location and ambience. Given that Lewiston is a small town and I wasn't sure of the options available, it was really pleasant to be able to walk down the street from my hotel and walk to lunch. The space is large and airy and has a lot of windows with natural light which I love. 1-star for the lobster bisque and Cesar salad. The bisque was creamy and rich with a nice lobster undertone that complimented the focaccia and sourdough. My salad was crisp and flavorful and had the prefect balance of greens to dressing and my chicken (and addition) really worked together. I highly recommend Fish Bones for a lovely meal if you're a visitor or local. You can tell the freshness of the food and the service is truly a gem. I have access to many fine dining options in SF but a lot of them lack the geniality that Fish Bones has. read more

Had a fabulous meal here. Food was great, wait service adequate and the restaurant itself was nice. A little pricey but it was worth it as the food was good. Really good. Only drawback, it was crazy loud inside. Could hardly talk to my dinner guest it was so loud. BUT, we went there for the food most of all and it was well worth the trip. read more

My family and I came here last night for my cousins bday celebration. We had good vibes as soon as we got here and learned that the building housed the first place of employment in Maine! Cool history. The smoker was on and the smell was delightful. We were seated at a nice large table and were immediately greeted. We had our drink orders placed and looked at the menu which had more than a few dishes I had to try. We ordered the cauliflower pizza as an appetizer as well as the Brussels sprouts and smokey ribs. Everything was great including the wine. Excellent. We all ordered different dishes and tried each others. I had the haddock and omg wow is all I can say. Their menu is seasonal and add new dishes constantly. I would definitely recommend having something from their smoker because they absolutely know what they're doing. I will come here again and again. I want to come here every time I am in Maine which is a lot! Thank you Fish Bones! read more

Had dinner here on a random weekday. Very pleasant atmosphere, with attentive wait staff. Started with an Espresso martini. Which was a well crafted and balanced cocktail, with a blend of Tito's, Allen's coffee brandy, and fresh espresso. Bomb cocktail for $9.25. Complimentary bread basket, including homemade zucchini bread, which was very good. I had the pan seared salmon prepared with maple glaze, sides included roasted fingerling potatoes and sautéed spinach.($26). Everything was expertly prepared. Delicious meal from start to finish. This place is worth a visit! Highly recommend! Cannot wait to return. read more

The exterior of the building and the inside were beautiful. The restaurant was a little more upscale than your normal everyday place. The service was extremely friendly and the food came out quickly. I ordered the lobster bake, which included a lobster roll, chowder, fries, and coleslaw. Everything was pretty good. The lobster roll had big chunks of meat and looked the part, but it just didn't have a ton of flavor. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't as much as I hoped for I guess. Still a good experience and I would definitely go back. Back in own for work! This time I tried the lobster rangoon. It was delicious with the seaweed topping and sauce. Perfect crispiness and saltiness. For my main course I had the ahi tuna. It was my favorite thing I've had there so far. It was plated beautifully and tasted amazing. Glad we came back for another visit. read more

We came here for a nice night out and were pleasantly surprised with the food! We didn't expect it to be as good as it was. The shrimp cocktail was a great appetizer to start off with. The Land and Sea was a sirloin with rosemary, shrimp and scallop skewer, day potato & vegetables. To finish the meal we had apple crisp dessert! I was never in Lewiston, Maine before so I wasm't sure what to expect but Fish Bones exceeded all expecations! read more

We stopped in for lunch on a Friday while waiting for a nearby jeweller to resize a couple of wedding rings. It was a little after 2pm, so not too many patrons and plenty of seating available both inside and out. We chose inside. Good, prompt service. Brussels sprout appetizer was very good. My wife had the Vietnamese slider sandwich and enjoyed it (as I did too when she gave me a bite). She pronounced the accompanying pickles the best she's had (we learned they're obtained rather than made in-house). I had a cup of the seafood chowder and the haddock & chips, both excellent. Our meals included french fries, and these are definitely superior to the usual fries. Prices are reasonable, and I look forward to visiting again when I'm in Lewiston. read more

Well executed dishes. Never a bad meal here. Pricey. Bar is small and fun. Bar keeps are friendly.

First of all, let me start by saying our waitress provided excellent service tonight. That being said, I believe there were quite a few things that could've improved our dining experience. The restaurant was packed when we arrived, and we were warmly greeted by a hostess. It wasn't long before we were seated, and that was when we noticed how exceptionally loud the dining room was. My goodness, there were two large tables in the center of the room, and the guests were practically yelling and laughing at the top of their lungs. I didn't think they could get any louder. The noise was really disturbing. I'm fairly certain that if they'd adjusted the seating arrangements, the noise could be somewhat reduced. We had a poutine for appetizer, and after that, we waited a very long time for our main courses to arrive. My wife was starting to wonder if we should just leave. Finally, after 40 minutes, the main courses arrived. Fisherman's Stew for me, and Duck Breast for my wife. She enjoyed her dish thoroughly, while I thought the cod was a bit overcooked and the mussels were remarkably small. It would also have been nice if I was provided a bowl to place the shells in. The poutine was a little too salty, but not inedible. Overall, I believe the pricing was a bit expensive for the food to bear such a quality. Ambience: 1/5 Food: 3/5 Waitress Service: 5/5 Kitchen Efficiency: 2/5 Pricing: 2/5 Overall: 2.6/5 read more

I had one of the absolute best meals I have ever had in my entire life here. It was absolutely phenomenal. I had the Atlantic Fishermen's Stew and my dining partner had Chef Tony's Smoked Brisket sandwich. I didn't try her sandwich but she really enjoyed it. My stew my incredible. Prices are high on some things but I expected it going in. Their starter menu is great also and priced great as well. Restaurant itself is really nice. My one and only complaint is the place was incredibly , nearly overwhelming loud. However, the place was packed so clearly the great food is well known by many. Will definitely be back. read more

We just finished eating. Everything was amazing. My mom said she had the best fish tacos she's ever had here and my lobster bisque was perfect! I don't write reviews often but this place deserves it. The drinks were super yummy too. The atmosphere is pretty and sound-wise it's full but not too loud either. The bar looks nice although I didn't spend any time there. I would certainly come again. read more

I've heard about Fishbones forever and ever and ever, and have always wanted to go. I'm hardly ever in Lewiston anymore, so I was overjoyed that my cousin and my aunt wanted to go here for a late lunch/early dinner. It's outstanding that Lewiston is coming around so much as to have this caliber of fine dining. We walked in to Fishbones, and were the only people in the restaurant - understandable, it's the day after Christmas, and it was 3:45pm. My dad told me, however, that last time he was at Fishbones, it was also pretty empty. Considering the economy and the fact that this restaurant is fine dining, I get it - but it's just unfortunate, because Fishbones is Excellent. We sat at the bar, just because this was a casual occasion, and ordered a few drinks as well as dinner. The drinks were good (my cousin and I got some sort of peach schnapps thing in honor of my grandmother), and I really enjoyed the clam chowder cup that came with my meal (my aunt and cousin got salads, but um, no way am I passing up Maine chowdah while I'm here...). We all ended up wanting the scallops, but to shake things up a little, I ordered the "fish n chips" - which was grilled haddock, sauteed spinach, and garlic mashed potatoes, with a crispy potato hashbrown type thing on the top. It was really very, very good, but the scallops were outstanding. I'm convinced that scallops are the world's most perfect food. My aunt and my cousin both shared their scallops with me - Perfection. They came with butternut squash risotto with dried blueberries, and grilled asparagus. Outstanding. The overall affect of the restaurant gets me right in my heart. It' so beautiful - exposed brick and pine wood beams everywhere - so warm and so, so homey. This is exactly what I think of when I think of all my warm fuzzy memories of home. Our server/hostess/bartender, Quinn, was lovely, funny, and attentive, which was also a huge plus. I LOVED Fishbones. I hope this restaurant succeeds, because its a huge asset to Lewiston (and the whole L/A area). NOM NOM NOM. read more

My wife and I just spent the last five days driving from Vallejo, California with our four cats, and tomorrow morning we close on our new house in Boothbay Harbor. Our realtor and lender are both in Augusta, so we're spending the night at the pet friendly Motel 6 in Lewiston. Thank you, fellow Yelpers for your good reviews of Fish Bones American Grill. We just finished the perfect dinner for our first night as residents of Maine. My seafood capellini beat the stuffing out of any seafood pasta dish I've had anywhere else in the world: perfectly cooked capellini overflowing with lobster, mussels, scallops, white fish and shrimp in a light garlic, spinach, butter sauce. Kate's surf and turf was equally delicious and, for people who don't normally do dessert, we adored the blueberry cheesecake. And our server was engaging, attentive, and thoroughly delightful. If you're anywhere nearby, eat here! read more

Besides the excellent food and service, the desserts are the best around. Fish Bones is the best fine dining in the L/A area and beyond!!

Really enjoyed the seafood chowder and lobster and trout entrée. They were doing a good job of spacing people apart. Service was good and the food was delicious. read more

You pass a relic of the early Industrial Age, a factory where maybe you see a flower springing up out of what had been a foundry floor in days gone by. Fish Bones American Grill is that kind of flower: A classy, tasty, innovative eatery in the middle of a converted textile mill that is ground zero of a rebuilding Lewiston. It just screams positives. Most of which begin and end at the food and the bar. Fish Bones serves up beautifully plated, thoughtfully prepared dishes that are as good as you would find in any city ten times the size of Lewiston. My daughter tried the "fish and chips" because, thankfully, it's grilled with a thin crunchy potato pancake topper to remind you of that fried feeling without the billion calories and the greasiness. I had the seafood pasta fra diavolo, which, pleasantly, was perfectly spicy, and had the most tender Maine mussels I've sampled to date. When most restaurants whimp out with the red pepper flakes, the chef here knows where the line is. The "grilled" Caesar salad was also a nice take on the classic and had a pleasant twist with its quickly grilled lettuce. The bar has a really nice selection of spirits, including several good choices in Kentucky bourbons, which are the brave new world of fermented discovery. Prices were reasonable for what was served up. Experience was exceptional. Wait and bar staff were both top-drawer. With kids going to Bates College nearby, I'll be back! read more

Was very impressed by this converted riverside mill below the Baxter brewery. Outside seating has comfortable couches and propane fire pits. Inside has the exposed brick, brass and restored flooring you'd expect. The food has real contemporary vibe and what was sampled was astoundingly good and very inexpensive given the quality of ingredients: mussels with shaved Parmesan, Korean BBQ style wings, ahi tuna on wonton crisps, pork belly and crispy wedge potato poutine and grilled corn with Mexican farmers cheese. Each around 10 bucks! A couple like 7 dollars. Are you kidding? Nice craft and season beers; good spicy bloodies... I look forward to a return visit with more folks in tow read more

Struggling with large table (13), so take that into consideration. Food was decent quality, but the wait staff f'ed up the order, and it did not get any better. Beverage service was terrible. Server was too busy chatting with wait staff and kitchen help to pay attention to the table or even check in after any of the courses. The crowning insult was the mandatory 20% gratuity. We will not be back. So sad because the facility is beautifully redone and intetesting. read more

Fishbones is one of the best restaurants to eat in Lewiston Maine. They have amazing seafood and their seafood chowder is probably the best in Central Maine. That's what all the folks I eat with their say because I don't actually eat seafood. Their lunch is incredible and affordable and a lovely addition to the area. They have really wonderful options of non-seafood dishes. The pineland Farms burger is incredible. Their service and and offerings on the bar menu are delightful! During late spring all through summer and early fall they have a great patio to enjoy dining outside. I highly recommend Fishbones. read more

Ever since I started working in the L/A area, a restaurant that kept popping up in conversations was Fishbones and people always had great things to say. While they did lose our reservation, they were able to sit us in a decent amount of time. I did however, feel a bit awkward waiting in the middle of the bar area where there are a few tables for people to eat at as well. There were six of us, and it just felt a bit cramped. When we did finally get to our table, our waitress seemed a bit all over the place. She didn't bring the bread basket until we asked, gave people the wrong drinks and was gone for a really long time in between taking our apps order and coming back to take our entree orders. She was very sweet though, and they also comped one of our apps for messing up our reservation which I thought was nice. The table shared the sprouts and the lobster rangoons which were both absolutely delicious. Others at my table shared the ahi tuna and enjoyed it a lot, that's just not something I eat. I ordered a "figgin delicious" for my drink and haven't stopped raving about it since. It was the best cocktail I've ever had! I ordered the fish tacos for my entree. They were fresh and very full of fish, but a little on the plain side. They desperately needed acid and salt. They come three to an order, which is a generous portion, but I'd rather have two and a side option. It doesn't really feel like a meal to me just to eat tacos, so I ordered some fries (which were more like wedges) and I'm so glad I did because they were awesome- Seasoned to perfection, crispy yet pillowy. Everyone else liked their meals quite a bit, except my boyfriend ordered the ahi tuna entree and found it was a bit bland and dry, as there was no sauce to really tie the dish together. All in all, it wasn't exactly the dining experience I had expected but that doesn't mean I won't maybe go back some time. I would honestly go there just to order the sprouts and a figgin delicious or two! read more

Well. Let's start with the zucchini bread, delicious. Then I ordered the ahi tuna. Hubby order crab cake blt. The tuna was absolutely amazing.
