You will find Italian, French, Brazilian, African tajine and of course a burger . We started with the house dip which is amazing red pepper served with beautifully roasted pita bread. The portions are huge so we decided to share the schnitzel. As expected, a huge serving. Perfectly cooked so the chicken was not dry but tender and the breading was crispy and crunchy. It had a honey mustard drizzle which I don't normally love but it worked here. We swapped the beer braced cabbage it comes with for the truffle fries which were incredible and so many even shared we could not finish them. Obviously hand cut and fried here. The flourless cake served with raspberries and cream was excellent also. Truly fine dining experience with a very well thought out and executed menu

We were told they don't take reservations and it would be a 10 minute drive so we came here and there was a 20 minute wait, which was fine for the six of us. The restaurant is right on the harbor with a beautiful view of the boats and water, which added to the experience. My wife loved her beet salad and totally was a clean plater. I had fish tacos which were just okay, nothing special. Our friends thought their burgers were good and each couple only finished maybe half their fries. Megan M was a good server and appeared to have lots of tables to serve. We talked with locals who said they come here anywhere from monthly to quarterly so it's a well liked place. There's also a nice walk along the harbor while waiting for our table.

The Bavarian pretzels were good (although not quite what I expected when ordering). For beer, there were only a few options I could tell were on house draft. Even though it's seasonal, I I'm not a fan of pumpkin beers and that constituted basically two out of four options. I tried their blood orange wheat beer, which had great citrus flavor but basically no real beer flavor (It would be great for someone who wakes up farmhouse style wheat beer, which is not me). I ended up ordering the IPA, which was fine but nothing spectacular/special. The ambiance was good; was there for lunch and was seated outside. There were some families with kids, but no one was too rambunctious. The service was ok, and is the only aspect where I'm docking a star on my rating; service was fairly slow and only really came when it was getting to the "where are they" stage. The actual serving was fine, but we didn't really see the wait staff enough to check in (or order a second drink). There is definitely room for improvement. I'd definitely come back, but mostly for the food!

I ordered the haddock sandwich, blackened (haddock is a must in Maine) and my partner ordered the hummus wrap. I enjoyed the sandwich; nothing too special but really hit the spot. Plus the fries were perfect. My partner thought the wrap was hearty and filling. It's not the best spot for vegetarians, but there are decent options. I don't drink beer but was happy that they had my favorite regional cider available: Downeast. My partner really enjoyed his local beer. Worth a stop while you're looking for a meal with a view!

We got the Franny Bistro salad which was generously portioned: they did not skimp on the feta, bacon, or ripped/toasted focaccia. Husband got the ribs and slaw. Ribs were extremely tender and the Hoisin glaze was so savoury. I got the shrimp and grits, with good ratio of jumbo shrimp to sausage. The cheddar grits were perfectly done. Impressively personable service. We celebrated our anniversary and all three staff (host, primary waitress and food runner) all congratulated us. I think there were two primary servers and two runners that evening, but they were effortlessly moving about the room. I was very pleased with the timing of dishes and never felt like we were waiting or not being 'attended' to. Bonus: my husband and I were amongst the last patrons in the restaurant as it closed for the evening and got to meet Franny!

White table cloth service. Servers were all excellent. Knowledgeable, friendly, efficient. This place has the best fine dining experience in the mid-coast. Food was outstanding- every course. I did find the printed à la carte and dessert menus odd as they list the dishes' main ingredients but lack any preparation detail. So we found ourselves having to ask about several dishes before being able to make a selection. Maybe it is on purpose but it made me a bit uncomfortable to keep asking about preparation of the dishes throughout the courses. The only real negative for us is the same negative we had 10 years ago. We were seated in the porch area and I suspect they fill this area first as it has wonderful views of the Camden Hills. Both times we have been seated in there, there have been loud, fairly obnoxious diners (#-bombs flying this last visit) in the room with us. Complete turn off but nothing the restaurant can do about it. We will try Natalie's again but will forgo the porch dining for another room.
