Unfortunately, no outdoor dining before Memorial Day. Great knowledgeable and attentive service with Paul. Upstairs was busy but not crowded. Food was fantastic. Wild mushroom soup was delicious.

The menu (as far as I could tell) changes frequently, and it features several vegetarian dishes and small plates, in addition to other mains. The drink menu had some really fun offerings, and both cocktails were got were delicious. The food was very good as well, but nothing that blew us away. We were disappointed that they sat us in a different part of the restaurant than we reserved, which felt odd considering we specifically had to choose which area we were reserving a table in and it wasn't a busy night, but it was no big deal at all. All around was a great experience and we will return.

My favorite part is that it still feels part of the mill system while having an updated aesthetic. It doesn't feel out of place - it feels right IN place. I normally come here to have a beer or two with a friend & catch up when I'm in the area, I enjoy their beers & they usually have one or two new drinkable things kicking around on their menu - I have yet to try a beer I haven't enjoyed.

We had to park at the lot near the mill buildings and water and walk a pretty good distance to get to the restaurant but I guess I could use a few steps. Walked in it was very loud where they wanted to seat us under the canopy where there were some unruly bar patrons so they brought us to a quieter area. We sat for a long while before being greeted by our server. But we still wanted to give it a shot. We ordered poutine with portobello mushrooms and the three tables around us got their full meals before we got our appetizer. Then, she took our main course order and like the app, the food took forever and we are usually very patient. The server was super nice but just was very slow and the fries in the poutine were cold. The main course was a root salad that my wife thought was pretty good with turnips and vinaigrette. I had clam chowder and calamari/shrimp dish ... I paid almost 20 bucks for the calamari and got about 5 pieces and 4 small shrimp and the chowder had no flavor. We then asked for a box to put her salad in and the waitress forgot. Until she realized as she was dropping off the check. I don't think we will be back .. maybe just for the outdoor patio ambiance but, not the food.

The atmosphere was warm and elegant, and the service was attentive and professional throughout. The prix fixe menu offered tantalizing selections in every course, making it difficult to choose! Our cocktails were expertly prepared and served promptly. Every dish we selected was decadent, beautifully presented, and prepared to perfection. The combination of outstanding cuisine, impeccable service, and a delightful atmosphere made for a memorable evening. Earth at Hidden Pond is a culinary gem! We highly recommend it and look forward to returning.

Not what I'd expect from a prix-fixe restaurant. As best I could tell, the decor was woodsy lodge. Fortunately, we had a light over our table that allowed us to appreciate the presentation of the dishes. SERVICE: The staff was welcoming, cordial, and mostly attentuve, though I couldn't understand much of what pur server said because of the din. It took a while for our order to be taken and the first course to arrive, but after that things moved along more smoothly. FOOD: Everyone enjoyed their dishes. My first course, tempura eggplant was novel, attractive. and tasty. My lobster fettucini second course was delicate and rich. The scallops in my main course were tender, tasty, and mostly grit-free. My dessert, tiramisu, was dryer and less voluptuous than I expected. The wines I tried from a decent compact list were appropriate and enjoyable. For the most part, the food was quite good - I'd rate it 4*. The dim, noisy ambiance was unpleasant, though; I would not return.

I ordered two and, while my partner in crime absolutely LOVED his, I wasn't really a fan. The sandwich comes on a baguette and is filled with a slab of coconut curry marinated tofu, pickled veg (like carrots and radishes), spicy vegan mayo, and cilantro. Unfortunately, my bread was pretty burned - as such, that black toast char was the dominating flavor (and smell). It was also the dominating ingredient as the slab of tofu was much smaller than I was expecting. In the end, I tossed the bread and ate just the tofu and veggies (which, again, I wish there had been more of, and much less of the stems of cilantro). Loved the variety of spices that came from the individual components of the jalapenos, the curry, and the spread though! While I was disappointed in the sandwich I got (especially at $11 when compared to sandwiches of similar prices from other food trucks), I still think they're great. The person taking my order was super friendly, the person making the food was engaging, and their passion to use as much fresh, local ingredients as possible is impressive and appreciated. Also the presentation of their food is stunning, and proves that restaurant quality food can come out of a mobile kitchen. While they might not be my first choice, I definitely appreciate what they're creating and the flavor profiles they're exploring!

The fries were perfectly crisp and seasoned. I was able to share the fries with 2 other coworkers! It's not often that I walk away from a food truck thinking portion sizes align with both the quality and the pricing, but this one nails it. The menu isn't large, but that's because they choose to perfect what they are slinging, putting quality over quantity. Definitely give this place a try... and split the fries!

We were originally going to go to another restaurant, Bell Buoy or something or other and they were closed. Their loss! Came to Joseph's By the Sea and the staff were welcoming and hospitable. Sat upstairs outside and had the best dinner ever. Very happy with the bread basket for $4. Tasty and nice to nibble on with a delicious plain butter as well as an olive butter. Then ordered the large portion Caesar salad. Lovely, my boyfriend and I shared it. Ordered the lobster for market price. They were out of the 1 1/4 pound one, but had the 1 3/4 pound one which was a little more expensive, but worth it. It was fresh and quite far for the price at a restaurant. Boyfriend had the "Best of Both Worlds" (not pictured) he eats too fast! 4 ounce filet mignon and 4 ounces of lobster meat. Served with same sides that I had with the lobster dish. Also a chimichurri sauce. It really doesn't need it. Ask for it on the side if you're iffy about it. A great dessert menu, but we were full. I actually asked for more bread and the olive butter to go! Very clean restaurant. Another nice touch is the hand washing station near the bathroom. Thank you, JBTS. Our regards from Washington, DC.

The food was excellent, but the experience was just as good. Service was amazing, the bathrooms were clean, and the inside was CHIC, intimate and romantic. It was the perfect atmosphere for our restaurant date night. Joseph's has that elevated coastal feel without feeling stuffy, and you can tell they take the whole dining experience seriously. They've been serving Old Orchard Beach for decades and have a strong focus on fresh, locally sourced seafood. DO NOT have the disappointment of showing up without a table. MAKE A RESERVATION! Would I drive two hours again for that pasta? ABSOLUTELY.
