I hsbentbtried their food yet but it did look tasty from what I could see We ordered the Coupe de Joe and the spicy carrot Margherita. Drinks are made fresh to order and are not pre batched, which says a lot about the bartenders and the quality of drinks. Each time cocktails went out, I saw the bartender taste each one, which goes to show the attention to detail. Highly recommend, whether you're visiting the area or a local.

I love to try new places by ordering the corned beef hash...this was simply amazing, maybe the best I have had. The English muffin chewy and tasty and my wife's omelet with vegetables was really good. Though the broccoli was a bit undercooked. We chose some maple syrup and local jams to take home. Wondered why they did not serve these, versus the packets jelly. Coffee good and pastries looked great. We enjoyed the wait staff a bunch, and we decided to grab a lunch to go when we learned they roasted the Turkey themselves. Met Nancy's sister and told her this would be a place we will come back to when we travel this way again.

Was perfectly located to make it so we didn't even need to detour from our final destination. Lots of parking is available and ordering is a breeze. We were greeted by the friendly staff when ready to place our order. My wife went with their Maine Maple Latte and I chose their current special that sounded perfect for summer, Campfire S'mores. It even came garnished with a graham cracker, Hershey's chocolate, and Marshmallow. Gave it a fantastic stand out look. The taste was just as good and my wife loved her drink too! We already had food so passed on it this visit but maybe next time. They do have a couple tables to enjoy your food if you choose to do so, but us and others we saw took it to go. Definitely a spot worth visiting while on route 1! Grab a drink and bite to eat here at Nectar and when you finish shop around the Bell Farm Shops. Lots of great things to see inside and out.

Their breakfast menu was super impressive - a breakfast Philly sandwich, tons of Southwest options and so much more. I opted for the York Omelet, which had spinach, mushrooms, cheese and red onion, and I swapped the toast for a blueberry muffin. My boyfriend got the breakfast burrito. My omelet was delicious! The breakfast potatoes and muffin were great too. The breakfast burrito was HUGE and was absolutely delicious.

Great wines by the glass at solid prices. The food is actually amazing and highly underrated, i think more people should be talking about it! I love the portion sizes on everything - the cobb salad was the biggest salad i have ever seen and everything in it was so fresh and delicious. The wings and fries are also standouts to me for something that could be horrible if executed poorly but they really serve them at an elevated level. I always love the specials they have for Brussel sprouts and the flavors com through really nicely on those everytime. Such a great space by the water and really cozy inside, i will definitely be a regular here.

We frequently pass through Kittery, often stopping at Kittery Trading Post and Bob's Clam Hut, but…read moreon this trip we ventured off of Rt. 1 and discovered a little hidden gem...The Black Birch. This quaint gastropub doesn't look like much from the outside, but inside, this seems like a place where locals are regulars and tourists are happy to get a table at this "no reservations" joint. It's dark inside (no photos) and a little cramped. The bartenders are serving double duty mixing and pouring drinks while also playing DJ and spinning vinyl records. And it felt like everyone inside was exactly where they wanted to be at the moment...enjoying each other's company and sharing drinks and food. The menu is about the size you would expect from a small kitchen - a fair number of appetizer dishes meant for sharing, and a handful of entrees, ranging from casual to a bit more refined. The grilled cheese and tomato soup ($19) was made with a hearty artisan bread that hit the spot on a chilly evening. Similarly, the coq au vin ($26) was classic comfort food, with perfectly cooked smashed fingerling potatoes surrounded by a rich, decadent reduction sauce smothering meaty mushrooms and soft pearl onions. Note, the coq au vin did take a long time to prepare, so not the dish to order if you're in a hurry. A couple of not-too-sweet lemon ricotta donuts (with chocolate sauce) was a great way to end the meal.

We celebrated our 12 year wedding anniversary while touring New England…read more We actually just happened upon this place because the first restaurant that we went to, across the street, was out of a couple of dishes that my husband wanted. Well, I'm happy that they were because dinner here was SOOOO good! The bartender helped us choose a bottle of champagne to start. We shared everything. One of each of the deviled eggs each. The maple cranberry was interesting. The sour cream chive one was to die for! The ricotta gnocchi was elegant and fluffy. The sauce made it over the top. The ribs were good, but I'm a Midwest girl. They just don't compare to back home. The clam linguine was seasoned perfectly. It was quite filling. We ended with the Apple Olive Oil cake with maple ice cream. The cake itself was quite dense and dry. The ice cream helped. I would not order this dessert again. Service was quite SLOWWWW, and for no reason as they weren't very busy while we were there. There were long gaps between courses and then once we were finished we kind of just sat there for a while. The food was worth it but something is not running efficiently and could be improved. Still giving 5 starts because it was so good and everyone was welcoming.
