Every room has a balcony and an ocean view. It was so romantic to sip champagne overlooking the harbor, and after dinner, we were able to watch fireworks from the comfort of our balcony. I was glad we were the only ones out there, because there's no privacy between balconies! Beds were comfortable, room clean, continental breakfast was solid. Will definitely return, perhaps during the off-season.

It's got so much character, and the people running it are some of the nicest humans ever. I don't think I've ever left without a smile on my face, or without a bottle (or two) of something new and interesting. Their selection is incredible; not just wine, but also vermouths, Campari, and even pasta and bread?! Like, what don't they do? And the vibes??! Perfection. In the winter, it gives a mix of Scandinavia and Spain, and I'm so here for it. Oh, and they have a full wine bar with pours and bites. Just go... you'll thank me later.

Tonight we had wonderful live music by a band called Trio Con Brio, and they were playing a Grateful Dead song when we were heading out. It was very busy. Lots of delicious little plates of food coming over from next door at the Liberal Cup. My chocolate martini, called the "I NEED CHOCOLATE NOW" was strrrooonggggg. But omg so tasty! Yum. I'm not a regular drinker at all, but I was the first one to finish my drink. Oops. They asked if I wanted a second one. I probably wouldn't have been able to find the front door if I did. Haha. The atmosphere in here is so sweet, pine boughs, ambient lighting, floating candles (think Hogwarts!), exposed beams. Lovely. Very sweet.

One of the relatively rare spaces which combines coffee/morning feel with nighttime cocktail refuge in one big room. You could chill and read or work on laptop and yet it also can be a more low key nightlifey hang at night. Excellent menu of select food items and fantastic drinks. The breakfast sandwich I got on Portuguese roll was well prepared and one of the best deals I think in Greater Portland area (please don't raise the prices cause I wrote that!). Their lattes and what not are superb. They have live jazz on Sundays during brunch time. It feels like a little slice of Portland or Cambridge MA or (name your much larger cool city) in the middle of Brunswick. I'm a fan!

We came here during my bachelorette weekend and, at first, had a wonderful experience. Our server…read morewas friendly, attentive, and even surprised us with a complimentary glass of bubbly when we paid our tab after two drinks. It was such a thoughtful gesture, and we left with a great impression. We decided to check out the bar across the street, but it wasn't our vibe, so we called it a night and walked back to The Abbey. Their patio was empty and well lit so we decided to sit there while we waited for our Uber. Our server immediately came out and told us they were closed and that we couldn't sit on the patio, promptly closing the door and shutting the light out on us. While disappointing, we understood. The part that left such a bad taste in our mouths happened next. As a group of young women, we were standing outside when a group of loud, rowdy men across the street started making us uncomfortable. We genuinely felt unsafe. We went back inside and politely asked if we could wait indoors for our Uber, explaining that we didn't feel safe outside. Instead of showing any concern, the bartender looked at us and said, "Oh, that bachelorette party? No." The bar was still full of customers, and we weren't asking to order more drinks or stay all night. We simply wanted a safe place to wait a few minutes for our ride. After how warm and welcoming they had been earlier, the complete lack of compassion in that moment was shocking. Customer service isn't just about being friendly when you're serving drinks. It's also about treating people with basic human decency when they tell you they feel unsafe. Unfortunately, our final memory of The Abbey wasn't the complimentary champagne or the great service at the beginning of the night. It was realizing that, when it actually mattered, our safety wasn't important to them.

The atmosphere of this wine shop is completely retro and fun. Great old records for sale, vintage clothes rack out back for some thrift shopping, fun and fresh bottles of wine to take home. We sat right at the bar next to the records were playing and the owner switched records frequently and always had something fun playing. The wine here was so much fun - as someone who works in wine sales it's always refreshing to see a bar changing what wines they serve and have something new open every day. They don't have a set wine list, i believe they just choose what they want when they want and display what they are serving by the glass on a shelf behind the bar. I love that idea so you can go often and always be able to try something new. I would have had some snacks along with my wine if we had not just come from lunch but i will definitely be back since this menu always changes with what is fresh. A great spot in this area and i'm excited to go back already.

The host and server were super nice and we got a good spot overlooking the water and the oncoming boats. But that is where the good parts stopped. Take a look at the photo that I show you. I paid $35 for that crab roll that has NO flavor and the bun was stale and hard and the lobster "slider" was also something to be desired ... we later found out I could have gotten a full fledged lobster roll down the road with a buttered bun with a TON of lobster in it for $19. This was also served with a bag of chips. My wife's salad was also a basic salad because it was all she could eat on the menu (VG) We had to go back into the bar area to have them refill our water as the server really didn't ever come back to us. You had to go back into the restaurant to order the food so it had a takeout seafood shack feel to it while trying to high class it. If I go to an "on the water" restaurant and spend $50 bucks on a plate, it might be a better pick. I didn't the oysters on the half shell at the other tables and those looked great for local sourced oysters. Oh we also had a smoked pollack dip with some ritz crackers that was pretty good but over priced. I don't think we will be back here next time near bath ... will walk up the road to an ice cream shoppe with lobster rolls.

I had the fish and chips. The chips were a huge plate of overly seasoned garlic fries. The red ale beer battered fish was delicious. My wife had the only lobster dish on the menu. It resembled fettuccine Alfredo but was called Lobster Tagliatelle. We split the four large shrimp appetizer and they were very good. Happy hour is only for well spirits and IPA beers. I had the well rum with diet, very good for six bucks each during the two hour happy hour from 3 to 5. Top shelf spirits were 12.50 for a double. The thirty dollar fish and chips was priced too high. The $38 dollar lobster dish was not worth it either. Blueberry cobbler with ice cream at twelve dollars was very good as was the creme brulee at $15.00 but both should have been priced at the most, ten dollars. So my opinion is the restaurant is overpriced but lovely inside and out. The workers are attentive and cordial. The scenery is very nice and the breakfast is one of the best we've had when traveling and staying at a place. It is included in the $200.00 a night room. We also got a fifty dollar certificate for dinner when booking which offset the high prices. The place allows dogs and when we entered our room it smelled of a strong disinfectant but thankfully that smell diminished. Water in the sink during the afternoon when we arrived was Luke warm. The next morning we had hot water. The room is carpeted and out of date. They should remove the carpet and use the same flooring as in the bathroom and foyer. Love the porch and chairs. Nice that they have a smoking area close to the office building but the other one is too far. The roads to get here are difficult to navigate and I would not drive here in the dark for safety reasons. No elevator anywhere and the grounds are difficult to navigate walking as are the stairs. The anchor building we stayed in had a nice view from the second floor but someone with bad knees and the like may want to insist on a ground floor room. Overall I can recommend but doubt we'd ever return to this Inn or restaurant in the future. The sewage is septic tank and we did not smell it like other reviews say. So for us it's a one and done time visit but it was worth a try!
