OMG. you talk about good food. I had the blue fin tuna and it was fantastic. My husband had the lobster roll and enjoyed it. Brussel sprouts- drinks -all were tasty!! This is definitely a gem that we were lucky enough to find. It's worth the visit BUT you need to make a reservation at least 2/3 weeks in advance. read more

This establishment is our personal favorite. We started ordering from here because we had recently moved into the area. We were blown away by our first take-out order. The portions are massive so you always feel like you're getting value for what some would determine slightly above average pricing. We finally had the opportunity to dine in and it's a super warm welcoming environment. Their finished porch with views over The Little River is beautiful. It's wood interior finish and colorful paper lantern lighting make you feel like you're eating in a cozy treehouse. Give it a try and I'm sure you'll agree. It's a 5/5. That goes for EVERYTHING on the menu. read more

Visiting in Maine and a friend took me here for lunch. I then returned this evening with my family for dinner. Outstanding !! Service is amazing from the moment you walk through the door. The hostess, the waitress, the manager and entire staff were so nice to all of us and so patient with my 2 year old granddaughter Knowing how children are they brought out her dinner immediately. It was there before we even had our appetizers. This settled her in so we could enjoy our dinner For appetizers we had the calamari. My husbands favorite. He said it was the best he had ever had. No red sauce ! They made it with banana peppers and aioli sauce, so good! The stuffed mushrooms were on the specials menu and were also delicious Now on to dinner. - a delicious side salad came that with balsamic and crispy onions on top Prime Rib..cooked perfectly, Salmon delicious, scallops wonderful and all served with an assortment of vegetables and mashed potatoes Dessert. Brownie with. 3 scoops of ice cream shared by all The most disappointing part of all this is that I have to go back to NJ !!! read more

It was a super nice place and the service was good but our drinks and food took forever to come out. Also they had some neat ideas for food and the servings were huge but everything was just off. Rangoon dip was to salty and my portobello sandwich was way to tall with the focaccia bread and our group's order of sweet potato fries came out burnt. read more

Krista's - Bowl of chips with the dips - New American Near Me - Cornish, Maine

What a delicious find Krista's in Cornish ME is. A shopper in a store over 30 miles away strongly urged us to go there instead of a different restaurant in town. 3 of us met for lunch. Parking is limited if you don't time it right but we managed with some creativity for the over sized vehicle down the way. We were promptly greeted and seated. Our server was pleasant and fun. Our meals included Krista's chicken salad, harvest sandwich and a southwest chicken wrap (special of the day). All 3 meals were substantial in portion size. We could only eat 1/2 of our plates, getting to go boxes. For dessert we shared the chocolate dipped cannoli - yum Food and service deserve a 5, but the sound acoustics in our dining area made carrying on a quiet conversation or to hear the server describe items very difficult. We're from away, but will return to Krista's in the future. read more

I've heard rave reviews of Krista's for some time now and was really looking forward to my first experience there last night. The good news is that the reviews are legit: this place is wonderful and I look forward to going back there again. So if you're debating whether to go to Krista's and come across this review, my simple message is "go". Now, for the more detailed review... The place and ambience: love it. Very comfortable and classy place. The room we were in had all of these colored lanterns giving it a tastefully retro look. The whole table loved it. The service: exceptional. Everyone from the hostess, to the waitress to the bartender was very friendly and accommodating. Our waitress, Lindsay (sp?), went the extra mile to bring us samples to ensure we were ordering something we would love. When you walk in and out of the restaurant, EVERYONE welcomes you and wishes you goodbye. You feel appreciated. Drinks: I'm a simple guy and like a Bone-Dry Manhattan. The bartender made a point of double-checking my preferences with me and nailed it. My sister and mother ordered a couple of sidecars. They needed to order a separate shot of cognac to pour in to bring it to perfect, but they are connoisseurs and know what a perfect sidecar tastes like. The kids loved the option to mix and match "Italian soda" flavors to make their own customized drink. That was a big hit. Every appetizer we've had (everyone else in my party had been here 3 times) are excellent. This round we had the stuffed mushrooms, the Thai mussels and the jerk chicken wings. We also got the cheesy-chips for the kids. The sauces for the mussels and wings were great and left a lasting impression. The mushrooms are served on a pan-fried parmesan cheese chip and they went fast. The chips also didn't last long. My niece got a tomato bisque and everyone had to try it. It was exceptional. It was rich and almost like a tomato sauce you'd put on pasta and I mean that in a very good way. Our waitress said the soups are excellent, so I'll be sure to get one the next time I go. Salads: you get a house salad for free and those that went that route were very happy. If you specifically order a salad, be prepared as it is huge. My brother-in-law loved his Caesar, my sister loved her Bibb and the wedge was one of the best I've had. The gorgonzola dressing was not one I had experienced before and I couldn't stop eating it, despite already feeling full after my apps. Entree: This is the one area that could have dropped the review down one point. That said, everything else is so good, it makes up for it. My family has come here a few times and their general review is "apps and salads are great, but the entree is a mixed bag". I observed something similar. My father had the scallops and was very happy; they were cooked perfectly and served on a bed of spinach and some very large beets. My brother-in-law had the burger and he thought it was great. My sister opted to order off the kids menu and had the tomato soup with grilled cheese. She loved it (see niece's selection above). My Mom had the pork chop. She was surprised as she felt the cut was more like a tenderloin than a chop. Normally when you hear "chop", you picture a thick piece of meat with a big bone hanging off it, but this was prepared to look boneless. Regardless, it was cooked perfectly. Mome felt the sauce didn't taste as she expected and was a little weak on flavor, but admitted it was probably a personal preference. Unfortunately, I didn't give it a try. My bad! I originally wanted the prime rib, but they ran out. I guess that happened the last time my family went, so perhaps Krista's should order more for the weekends as it seems to be a popular item. The waitress brought one of the last pieces over so I could check it out and it looked fantastic, so I'll be sure to try to get that again next time. Instead I opted for the pork ragu over ravioli. The ravioli was great, but the ragu sauce didn't hit me quite right. The sauce and the pork was a bit more dry than I had hoped. My sister said she had the vegetable tortellini last time and her experience was similar, so perhaps that's something to improve on: more sauce and watch the dryness of the meat. Most of us were way too full to have dessert. We were so full we barely made it through our entrees and that's something Krista's should consider: we all agreed you could cut your portions and we would still pay the asking price. Quality over quantity. That said, my dad snuck in a french vanilla ice cream that he loved. I got a cannoli to go and it was great! Overall, Krista's is a fantastic place that I look forward to enjoying many times in the future. A few little tune-ups to the entrees and you're looking at a nearly perfect restaurant. Thanks! read more

Worst service I've ever experienced. Heard so many good things about this place and the server made it the worst. Not going back.

Stopped here while on a antique shopping walk about with the wife. Nice atmosphere with a stream running out back. Wife got the harvest sandwich and i got the bacon blue burger both of which were huge! The couple next to us split a rubin sandwich which looked like plenty for both of them! Our waitress was sweet and attentive. I'd rave some more but I'll let the photo's to the talking. read more

I'm kicking myself for not trying this place sooner. I go to one of the local camps every summer and this is the first time I've been to Krista's; and will be a new tradition. The food is incredible and modern, but also has the classics. Feng shui was nice; Chinese lanterns and America festoon the ceiling and walls. I got bacon eggs and sausage. My bro got the eggs benny special they only serve on sundays. We split a blueberry pancake that was literally the size of the plate. The portions are big and the service was good. Beware; the one problem is it was packed and although decently sized, timing could be an issue. We arrived 9am on Sunday and it was a 30 minute wait. read more

Had lunch there today. Supe friendly hostess and staff. We sat outside. My wife had the quesadilla with chili. I ordered the turkey blt. Wow! Both were excellent. Throughout the meal waitstaff was very attentive and helpful. Killer desserts! We shared marscapone wrapped in dark chocolate. A five star moo! The other desserts looked great, will try another time. Next step. Dinner! read more

I had to update my review for dinner, we had only been for an amazing lunch a few months ago when we first moved in to town. We were excited to try it out for dinner, but sadly we didn't love it as much. We went on a Wednesday night, there was a decent amount of people there but there were plenty of tables available. The noise level very high, we had to talk much louder than we normally would just to hear each other. I got the stuffed acorn squash special and my husband got the prime rib. We were surprised when she told us that to switch the side salad that came with the meal to a Caesar you have to pay more. Seems strange when it's less ingredients than a regular side salad. When you're spending $100 on dinner, you don't want to feel nickel and dimed on a salad. The prime rib was not cooked to temp but was delicious regardless. The vegetables and the potatoes were also good. I was surprised again that the stuffed squash (which had sausage & cheese and apple chutney) was only $4 less than the prime rib ($27 vs $31). Oh and we loved the warm bread, but the butter was ice cold and hard as a rock. Literally would not even melt or spread on the bread. First world problems, I know. While the food was good, it still hadn't been brought out an hour after we had arrived and we didn't have any appetizers. The drinks took a very long time also, and we would love a better local beer selection The incredibly long time it took, plus the value (?) might make us think twice next time. But we'll likely try it again someday, the menu has a lot of interesting choices, with specials that include drink specials. read more

Krista's is one of our absolute favorite restaurants in Maine. We love the Yumlet sauce. When they have lobster rolls, be SURE to get one. The portions ARE huge so consider splitting entrees...ESPECIALLY so you can save room for dessert. Their specialty cocktails are ingenious and delicious. Hope to get Rachel as your waitress. Pure sunshine. read more

The food was absolutely amazing! I had the prime rib and my wife had the halibut. They were both cooked to perfection. We had the bowl of chips as an appetizer loved that as well. The service was exceptional and everything came out promptly. I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Our first trip back to Krista's since COVID. I have to say nothing has changed! Still impeccable customer service and amazing food. I had the Krista's Chicken Salad, which was a delight. It was like a seasonal journey!! My first bite made me think of Thanksgiving, with a taste of chicken and cranberries. The fresh crisp apples were like a cool fall day and the cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and other fresh vegetables were like harvesting my garden in late July. My husband had the Blackened Mahi Mahi. He said the roll must have been made in house It was so fresh. This meal kept him active in the clean plate club!! Our waitress was amazing, the service always is. Looking forward to returning, on a cooler day, when we can enjoy the beautiful outside seating area!! read more

Excellent service and ambiance. So cute and such a lovely spot. Been two times over the past month. once for lunch and once for dinner. Lunch, a corned beef reuben and a hamburger both were really good. Huge portions. Dinner- butternut squash ravioli, hanger steak and pistachio fish were all ordered. All were just okay... it's like the cook was over extending him/herself. Flavors were strange and consistency was gloppy for all three meals. For example: BBQ sauce was on the hanger steak. Some of the salads were not dressed. Appetizers- Brussels sprouts were okay, chips with cheese very good. Would I go again? Yes. But I'd stick with the pub fair. It seems to be what they do best. read more

Stopped to eat as we were passing through. The setting was fun and the food was delicious. The portions are huge - two could easily share a meal and desert and leave full. Glad we happened upon Krista's as we were driving through enjoying the foliage. Would definitely eat here again. read more

Amazing restaurant on the New Hampshire/Maine border. Situated in a picturesque town along a babbling brook, you could not want a more serene setting. The food is what I would describe as a cross between farm to table fresh and homestyle Americana. We feasted on fried Brussel sprouts, chips with blue cheese and bacon, pork tenderloin with seasonal vegetables and sweet potatoes and the most amazing Maine Blueberry Martinis! Everything was exceptional! We ended our meal with a luscious lemon blueberry cheesecake. If you're in this area, Krista's should be on your bucket list! read more

I've eaten at Krista's for years before being diagnosed as Celiac. I had high hopes I could still enjoy their meals. I was happy tonight to hear that had a Celiac employee who they consult with with any questions about safety. They do not have a dedicated dryer so that is a bummer as their fries and chips are DELISH. Would LOVE to see them add a GF dryer in the future. I ordered their scallop special and it was delish (without the aoli as I'm also dairy and egg free). read more

The atmosphere was great. Boho, comfortable and fun. The food was amazing with very large portions. Very reasonably priced too! The waitress was very attentive to our party of 8 including a toddler. As soon as we were seated she brought over a big crate of toys and coloring items for him. I also love the couch seating they have available. I would definitely recommend! If I was a local I would be a repeat customer and have to try everything! This place is definitely a gem and we are so glad we found it! read more

Our first stop here for the three of us to celebrate our sons big 50. We all ordered different things, hanger steak, scallops, prime rib for meals. The brussels sprouts and calamari apps were excellent. Service was good and drinks were good. The place is reasonably small with tables fairly close together but comfortable. A small eat at bar also available. The décor country, with a nice atmosphere, though a lively spot. Prices were fairly high but most quality food places are now and the serving sizes were good.. The hanger was perfect, tasty and done correctly. The seared scallops again were delicious. The prime rib was as described more marbleized , very tasty, though I found it rather tough unlike what I am used to for prime rib, but I managed fine. We would not hesitate to return. read more

Eating at Krista's is like eating at your really talented relative's house. The food here is of course delicious but what gets me is that the service and the atmosphere is like home which is very Maine and extremely inviting. I ordered: 1.) The Classic Caesar Salad- full portion, no extra toppings- 5 star, must order 2.) Brownie Sundae- 5 star- on the sweeter side but such an incredibly large portion and delicious 3.) Apple Crisp with Vanilla Ice cream- 4 star- not the best I've had but very tasty nonetheless 4.) I also ordered a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and was brought a ginormously filled wine glass. Let's just say I was very pleased! I also tried some of my friend's butternut squash ravioli (which was a menu special). It was absolutely mouth watering and made me want to come back to try everything else on the menu! read more

I've never had a disappointing experience at Krista's! The food is always good, hot and tasty. Decent portions, fair prices, and wonderful creations! Service is always friendly, and quick. We keep it a regular visit in our rotation! read more

This was my first time at Krista's! The food and wait staff were top notch. I was with 3 friends who raved about their drinks and meal. I made sure I saved room for dessert that was beautiful in presentation and equally fantastic in taste. Although it is a 1 hour drive from my home, I will be returning! I have posted pictures of our cake selections that day on my Facebook page and have several friends ask where they can go to get this kind of dessert and presentation! A big thumbs up read more

Krista's - Raspberry layer cake - New American Near Me - Cornish, Maine

Down to earth-good food, great drinks, the kind place you would love to meet your friends that's who Krista's should be described. I feel like Krista's is my best friends other best friend I had never met but loved instantly the minute we met. I had heard so much about this little restaurant in this tiny little town. When I finally got to try it I was impressed. We were seated quickly, although the bench I was sitting in was extremely high the table was roomy. We order drinks, mimosas, a margarita of some sort, a pineapple juice with Malibu and an aperol spritz. The waitress was friendly and extremely attentive. She was able to give recommendations and was very patient. Let's talk food. First off we got the one and only donut left. l basically live for (okay maybe an exaggeration) Boston cream donuts so this was great! It was crunchy and chewy, filled with deliciousness and a perfect layer of chocolate on top. Next I had a scramble with fresh mozzarella cheese and tomatoes, wheat toast and mexican home fries minus the salsa. My mouth was in heaven. I'm not a fan of undercooked eggs and Krista's got it right. My eggs were cooked perfectly with an abundance of fillings. Those home fries though those are the things dreams are made from! They were hot, mouthwatering and delightful. Overall Krista's was a bit of a drive for me but I will return and hope to do so really really soon. read more

I'll try to keep this short and sweet, but it's hard to when there are so many great things to say about Krista's. This is a restaurant in my hometown, so every time I go back home I make sure to stop in. Their service is amazing, and they've renovated the space to be larger and even more cozy. Their Caesar salad is to die for. As is their Tuscan quesadilla. But their standout is their breakfast and brunch. My boyfriend and I come here when we want amazing food. Their Nutella stuffed French toast is amazing. Fresh fruit and delicious toast. We went Saturday morning and I got a mimosa ($10 and they give you a whole prosecco) and the breakfast burrito ($10). Both were amazing and served by the sweetest server. The burrito was super flavorful (especially as a vegetarian plate), and the serving sizes here are always plentiful. If you're in the area, it's necessary to stop here. You will want to come back every weekend. read more

Krista, Tammy, and the whole crew are just amazing. So is the food! We shared a salad to start and still brought some home. One of us had a scallop special that was incredible and the other had pistachio crusted haddock, and we would both order them again. The drink, wine, and beer selection are also good. If you still have room, the homeade desserts are to die for (maybe just take one home and savor later). Get a reservation, or you may not get in. But it is worth planning ahead to this great restauraunt with top notch service and food! read more

Krista's was delicious! The sandwiches were huge and tasted very good. The entire menu looked great, the restaurant is adorable, and the staff was very friendly. I did have one tiny objection, though. The muffuletta sandwich... it was delicious, but i feel it's a matter of tradition here. First, there was no mortadella on the sandwich. It felt like a sin. Second, the cheese was in between the bread and the olive tapenade/salad. Those delicious juices can't soak into the bread if they're blocked by cheese. Overall, it was a great experience. read more
