Staff were friendly and they have some nice baked goods, a breakfast menu, and a large menu of sandwiches both hot and cold as well as make your own options. Sandwich was about $18 and was good, but not great.

We came in hoping for something simple and delicious. We were pleasantly surprised to find seating…read moreupstairs, and I completely understand that with full service and a nice view, you're going to pay a little more. The view was nice once our table was cleaned, and the service was friendly and attentive overall. The reason for three stars is really the food. Nothing was terrible, but unfortunately, nothing was very good either. As a longtime restaurant owner, what stood out to me was the lack of attention to detail and the overall quality and quantity of the proteins and ingredients. I have no problem paying $15 for a simple sandwich if it's executed well. But little things add up: a tiny bag of chips, a very small pickle portion, minimal meat, minimal kraut, minimal sauce. It felt like every possible quarter was being shaved off the plate. I understand how difficult it is to make money in restaurants right now, but at some point the guest notices. I ordered the hot Reuben. It really wasn't hot, the bread wasn't crisp, the cheese wasn't properly melted, and the meat quality was fairly lackluster. There simply wasn't much meat, kraut, or sauce to make it feel like a satisfying Reuben. My wife ordered the chicken, artichoke and pesto sandwich. Again, the execution was the issue. The pesto wasn't spread evenly from edge to edge, the cheese wasn't melted, the sandwich wasn't particularly hot, and there were only a couple small pieces of artichoke. That's probably what disappointed me most. These are relatively simple sandwiches, and simple food can be fantastic when the basics are done correctly: crisp the bread, melt the cheese, distribute the condiments evenly, use enough filling, and cut and plate the sandwich with a little care. Those small details make a huge difference. We also had two non-alcoholic beers at $8 each. That isn't outrageous, especially in a tourist area with a view, but $16 for two cans of NA beer still feels like it's pushing the upper end of reasonable. The service was good, the staff was friendly, and the upstairs view was enjoyable. I just wish the same level of care had gone into the sandwiches. I don't write reviews every time I'm disappointed, but after owning a restaurant and responding personally to customer reviews for more than 12 years, I tend to notice these things. Hopefully this is taken as constructive feedback, because the fundamentals here are very fixable.

It had a lemon, chive seasoning, which made it unique ($38). The chicken salad wrap was good. Their baked items looked great. There was a small seating area in an enclosed porch as well as two picnic tables outside. They did not have a public restroom, which was disappointing. The staff was friendly, all wearing matching aprons There are several gift items in the store. It is worth mentioning that the store is on a sharp corner and parking can be a little tricky.

Extremely rude and disrespectful to me for simply asking if they served mimosas , to which he replied yes . When I asked for one he was not sure if that was allowed , to have a mimosa while you wait twenty -30 minutes for a table. So when he directed me to a two top out front to have a seat in the shade I said thank you and now I'd like a mimosa. To which he said " mam I am NOT serving you a mimosa"! He was unsure of himself and uneducated on the restaurant ins and outs. We will not be back to give it a second chance.

One of the best omelettes of my life. It is so packed and the home fries are great too! We saw some others with lunch food and theirs looked just as great! If you're in the area for breakfast or lunch, STOP HERE. Thank me later.

Continuing our drive north we came across the famous Moody's Diner that's known for their pies & down home cooking. They cook their own turkey so a turkey club is a must. For me it was either a 1/2 # lobster roll or a Percy burger with Swiss, onion & mushrooms. The burger was the juiciest burger I've ever had & I had a hard time getting it around my mouth. I managed to eat 3/4 of it & took the rest back to our B&B for later. We also had a side of awesome onion rings. If you've never been go eat & enjoy Maine cooking & hospitality. A factoid: They serve over 55,000 pieces of pie a year. Off to Whitehall B&B to rest up, go sightseeing & have an extraordinary dinner the night before our 37th anniversary. I forgot look at the size of this oatmeal raisin cookie we bought. Biggest cookie I've ever seen. BTW: Kris ordered a slice of strawberry rhubarb pie, she didn't like it. I passed on dessert.

I especially liked their biscuit donuts as well, which were excellent finishers for our meal. Just don't count your calories here. The service was great and there's lots of seating; I didn't think it was overly crowded, and there's a beautiful waterfront view at the back of the restaurant. I'd absolutely come back if I were ever in Camden.

Here's what we got: - Market Scramble ($18): We got it with a biscuit and potatoes. Amazing. - Triple Play ($17.50): We got it with scrambled eggs, add cheddar (+ $1.25) and added blueberries to the pancakes (+ $2). We were chasing the absolutely incredible flavor of these blueberry pancakes the entire rest of our trip. No blueberry-flavored thing we got the entire rest of the trip was as good as these pancakes. We also got maple latte ($6) and bottomless coffee ($4). Loved the maple latte. Highly, *~*highly*~* recommend. Incredible food.

All of them were AMAZING! The passion fruit lemonade is also awesome. I personally loved the turkey! The flavors blended so seamlessly and the pressed sandwich was perfect for lunch. The group favorite was the chicken souvlaki which was super tasty especially with the tzatziki. We did takeout but there were a bunch of tables and chairs to sit. The owner was SO friendly and extremely helpful when we asked questions about the menu. My favorite lunch spot in town for sure!!! I'm confident everything is tasty!
