    Fried clams, fries and Cole slaw
    Victoria P.

    Stopped by for dinner. Ordered the fried clams platter. It came with fries and Cole slaw. Clams were big and tender. Cole slaw was pretty tasty. I'm not a French fry fan so I tried one for curiosity. Recommend for dining options. I have to say service was slow but food was hot when delivered

    Local watering hole, looks inviting. Tacos were toasted and spicy. Clams & fries were tasty.

    Would definitely recommend for lunch if you are in the area! We found this tavern as we were exploring the area on a whim. We were super glad we stopped in. I ordered the house salad with steak tips and my husband had the Bart's salad, a vegetarian southwest salad. Both were large and filling. The steak tips were a little over cooked, but they didn't ruin the meal. We had the poutine as an appetizer and it was very good. The gravy in some of these small places can be very gelatinous and nasty but this was not. Plenty of cheese curds and crispy fries. Staff member was very friendly and attentive. The bar itself was fairly quiet and clean. Had a definite neighborhood gathering vibe.

    I think they called this the rodeo burger. Very good!

    Local hangout with great food with a great waitress-bartender! This place reminds me of gritty McDuff's in Portland only smaller. They have that mug club thing. I think there are pool tables downstairs but I have yet to look. I've been here a few times now and have never been disappointed. Check it out if your in the area!

    We found this through Yelp driving down Route 1 in Waldoboro. It's tiny inside and looks like a local tavern..my kinda place. Red Sox were on tv which enticed us to stay. The waitress is the bartender so be patient. She's hustling to get it all done. She knows the menu so ask. They have a decent wine selection so I grabbed the Leese and Fitch Pinot Noir. Decent wine for a tavern. We ordered apps to include wings (yeah baby) and spinach artichoke dip because hubby is obsessed. Good stuff Our meals were great too. Hubby got the grilled chicken wrap and me the portobello burger. They have vegetarian dishes. Go figure! Find this place, be patient and relax, foods great!

    Perfect Sunday night playing cribbage, drinking red wine and watching football

Crock of onion soup is made with Beal broth and was super delicious. My wife had the Waldorf salad and she loved it - she said the dressing needed something, probably salt. I had the fried chicken dinner with garlic mashed and roasted carrots. They fry a whole breast from a small chicken, delish!, black pepper gravy on the side and the mashed potatoes were scrumptious.

But every restaurant in Boothbay had over an hour wait, and I can confidently say I am SO glad we couldn't get a reservation anywhere else because it led us here. We got a reservation right away, were seated early, and everything from start to finish was incredible. The food tasted so fresh and flavorful, the drinks were amazing, and the atmosphere was perfect . Cozy but still lively with live music. Truly one of those places where nothing misses. I'm from out of state and already planning to come back next year just to eat here again. I honestly can't say enough good things about Montsweag. So worth the drive and then some!

    Excellent meal. Beef cooked to requests. Limited menu but delicious choices. Bret wine list…read more Service is very good. Small space that can be noisy. Recommended for an outstanding dinner.

    It was ok but it did not impress me. Though the food was mostly good and the space was nice, the…read moremenu was rather limiting, the dishes had flaws, and the service was a bit off with regard to timing. I had a Black Manhattan cocktail, supposedly differing from an ordinary Manhattan by use of a different kind of bitters (Amaro) and "filthy cherries." These seemed like basic good quality maraschinos to me (3); nothing "filthy" about them. Nevertheless it was good, fruity, and ample strength. The appetizer selection was small and heavy on bread-based items. (No free table bread was available - grrrr.) Most didn't appeal but the Roasted Garlic did, served with bread (2 kinds: a toasted crostini and a fresh crusty sourdough). The garlic was a whole head, sliced open for easy access and presented on a very hot plate, sweet and mellow from long slow roasting, and served with a choice of cheeses (molten blue, brie, whipped feta, or chèvre) - I chose chèvre and it was very good and a generous portion. A very simple dish not often encountered in restaurants. In retrospect this was the best part of the meal. I felt a little rushed at times and impatient at other times. It took a very long time to get the appetizer so I had nothing to dilute the effects of the strong cocktail. But then more than once I was asked about my entree before I was ready; once when ordering the appetizer and another time soon after I received it and hadn't made up my mind yet. I held my ground and told them I wasn't quite ready, and they accepted that and I took my time eating. There was an eclectic selection of wines by the glass. I had an interesting rosé from Slovenia. My entree was a roasted fish filet (halibut I think? It's no longer listed on the menu) served over a tomato-based sauce. This sauce was richly scented and complex and the plate was attractively garnished with micro greens. But the fish was on the small side and the flavor was monotonous - no discernible browning on the top. The other component, probably an herby cucumber-yogurt sauce resembling raita, which should have been a cool complement to the hot tomato broth, instead was melting unattractively and dispersing into it. Perhaps most disappointing, there was nothing else to this dish. It needed a starch or something (rice, boiled potatoes, or even more of those very good breads from the appetizer - wish I had saved some.) So it's good I got the appetizer first, or I would have left rather hungry. Desserts were also very limited and most didn't appeal. I decided on the Clafouti, which is a baked tart, thicker and heavier than flan, with fruit (black cherries) It was way too hot, didn't have enough fruit, and ice cream would be a far better choice than the amorphous blob of whipped cream it was served with. I should have skipped dessert. It was so boring. As for ambience: it's a crowded, noisy place but in a pleasing way. Very small, and I had reserved one of the 6 seats at the bar (I was dining solo). It's whimsically decorated, like with the grape-covered nude statue holding a candle. There was attractive artwork on the walls, some of which I believe was for sale. I did detect smoky odors coming from the kitchen that other reviewers have noted but I consider that a positive thing, not a negative. So come here if you wish. Check it out and form your own opinion. As for me, I wasn't sufficiently impressed and wouldn't return.
