Wow! What a hidden gem, we didn't know anything about this place and were just driving by, shocked to find how famous it is locally and in NE! Had the soup of the day, leek and potato, which had fresh chives from the garden. Steve was cutting them when we pulled in. The Greek chicken and salad dish was delicious, kids enjoyed their food, but the best part was the 12 layer cake! We devoured it before I could take a picture. Got to meet Steve the chef/ owner, running a one man show and doing a fantastic job. He also pointed out some great spots for us to stop with the kids on our way to PEI.

Several websites list the Nook and Cranny restaurant as the greatest hidden gem restaurant in all of Maine. Based on our experience, I don't know if it's tops, but it ranks right up there! For a town of less than 1,600 people, there is no question that Nook and Cranny is a major overachiever! We started with a crab dip that was really good, although don't expect any chunks of crabmeat. We also had oysters Rockefeller, a dish I eat any chance I get. These were unfortunately not good, at least when compared to the best versions I've eaten in major costal towns like New York and San Francisco. My main course was one of the daily specials, so it may not be available when you visit. This was a delicious Tuscan chicken breast stuffed with pepper Jack cheese and spinach! It was the best thing I ate there! The fresh gnocchi that came with it was equally good! We also had some of their tortellini which was equally tasty and wonderfully cheesy! If you're driving the Maine coast, this is certainly a worthy stop!

Not much for food choices in the area . This was open and gave the vibe of fine dining . I was wrong . We walked in and stood there while a girl with a tablet just stood there on her tablet . I asked for a table for two . She said sit over there . They were all small tables so I took a larger table with elbow space. It was empty . That was probably where things went wrong .There were a total of two tables occupied 1 waitress Kim and a girl flowing her around with a tablet . Doing nothing . Head in tablet . I was looking to try different food . Never been here before as I'm on vacation .i order seafood crepes my guest orders blackened haddock . We ordered our beverages and they eventually came . Well we ordered after about 30 mins of just sitting there waiting while the table of six got priority treatment and we were ignored . Maybe we were not dressed fine enough as we been traveling in the car all day . So after another 30 mins after placing our order 2 and 1/4 pieces of zucchini bread appeared . And maybe another 30 mins pass and the entrees come out . There is very little food . We were hungry . Even my guest said I'm still hungry after eating . This was far from fine dining . The place is small and run down . One cook and waitress I'd guess . Maybe a married couple ? Maybe this is high class for the area ?! Any way the seafood crepes were all mini shrimp with one scallop each . They were stuck together so I'd assume it was frozen when stuffed in the crepe which was really not as it was baked in a a seafood watery soup so the crepe just fell apart ! Both meals were horrible shame on this cook for serving this ! Disappointing to say the least but more disappointing than that was horrendous attitude of the waitress Kim ! All three employees were rude ! Snobby ! What gives them the right . Respect your customers for patronizing your business ! Without them you would be nothing . I do not recommend and we will not return . This is not fine dining .

We arrived Saturday at 630, we did not have a reservation but they accommodated us at the bar. The waitress was very kind, funny and efficient throughout. The Meal started with free fresh Zucchini bread fresh out of the oven, which was great. The food here is good and the portions are large. The appeal lies in the charm of the place itself. It's very earnest in what it does. It sort of reminds me of the restaurant in the book 'Empire Falls' - a true American restaurant in the heart of Maine.

This is just a fabulous place to eat, a "must-stop" restaurant just before crossing into Canada, or just after coming back.

It has been a year since I have dined at this establishment, though I must say, from all the…read moreeateries in Saint Andrews, this is by far my favourite place to chow down. The patatas bravas are always excellent, same is to be said of the tuna tartar or ceviche, whichever they have on the menu. I don't think I have ever eaten a plate that I did not like. I have my favourites, as one does, but everything that I have tried truly amuses my bouche. Servers are always punctual. I have never felt I have waited long for any plate or drink. The wine selection is above satisfactory, and they shake up a mean cocktail for those who prefer luscious tastes of liquor. They have a good selection of beer, if memory serves me correctly, but wine is much better suited for the food they serve. The whole restaurant is very nice. It was once a house that was converted to its current form. If you are lucky enough to be seated at the outside table with the fireplace, you are definitely in the best seats in the house. The view on the patio is stunning, as you gaze into the Passamaqoddy Bay. It is not always possible to get a reservation there, as it is rightfully seen as the pearl of the oyster that is the Saint Andrews food scene.

This was highly recommended to me for dinner. What can I say, it has all the ingredients for a…read moregreat dining experience (unless it's really hot weather - then they need to upgrade their AC.). Having said this, we sat outside and enjoyed a lovely view of the bay. The food was beautifully presented with a nice creative menu. Service was excellent (thanks Patrick), and the setting ambience was lovely. What more can you ask for? Call ahead and make reservations - it's a popular restaurant.
