We get there at 10:57 and didn't want to impose but Jackie said she would take care of us. (Party of 5). She mentioned a smoky old fashioned and I jumped at the chance. It was a slow Tuesday night and she took care of us even though she didn't have to. She was amazing and so was the drink. This is what L/A is all about. Thank you so much to Gritty's and to Jackie!!!!

Having the option of sitting outside is fantastic! Loved that…read more Varied menu options - for beer, drinks, and food. Mac & Cheese with kielbasa was good. We were surprised to see a pile of jalapeños included - maybe it's on the menu and we missed it. Corn bread was moist. I opted for a build your own burger which was great. No bun, lettuce and tomato. The waitress told me to just tell her what I wanted on it and she'd get it for me. Cool. She didn't tell me I would be charged an extra $1 for a tiny bit of spinach, and 75 cents each for grilled onions and mushrooms. Not cool. I definitely would have just selected an "already made" option. I asked for sautéed mushrooms and onions so was a little surprised to get deep fried shrooms. There were good - I would probably order, and even be willing to pay extra, for them again. My issue was not being told. The seasoned fries were really good. The iced tea and Hazy IPA were (of course) good. Our waitress was a bit too attentive. It seemed almost like every time we took a bite, she was asking if everything was okay. Maybe just check in a couple times over the course of the meal? Please do remember that 3 is not bad. For me, it's a solid average.

We had Autumn for our bartender today, she was lovely and made a flawless bloody Mary! They have a…read moregreat bloody mix there, not sure if it's house made or from a bottle, but I like it. I love a place that will allow you to order all flats, I will happily pay extra for all flats. I won't even entertain eating the upper part of the wing, too many things happening up there. I always order my wings as chicken, flavored sawdust. I've had salmonella more than once from chicken wings, but I love them too much to stop eating them. These were cooked perfectly! The burger on special was a two patty smash burger with grilled pineapple pickle onions, and a sweet Thai chili aïoli. I added fresh jalapeño and got the aïoli on the side because I wanted to see what it was like. I was really happy. I got it on the side because there was flavorless. It was basically mayonnaise that they mixed sweet Thai sauce with and called aïoli. Also, if it's a sauce that I don't know, I don't trust it, I don't want it on anything before I try it. I think that should be like rule of thumb. But the burger was awesome, I got it with dirty sweet potato fries. Which means I put some Cajun seasoning on it so it had that sweet, salty, spicy element that I love so much. They also have this delicious French pear martini on the specials menu. It was fantastic, it was fresh, bright, not overbearing. I hope that stays on the menu for a minute because it was LOVELY. And I took home a cute little dessert sampler that probably could've done without all the whipped cream over the little dessert squares, but my boys loved them!! Great place for lunch, really cool location, relaxed feel, don't forget to check out the little waterfall!!

I recently visited Baxter Brewing and was very disappointed by the service. The bartender was rude,…read morethrowing the menu down without a greeting or any sense of welcome. It took about ten minutes to receive two beers and an appetizer, and there were no plates or silverware until we asked. The bartender never checked in or followed up, even when another guest nearby gave up after being ignored. The food was poor (overcooked), but the lack of basic hospitality made the entire experience feel uninviting. The food typically is average. Bartender spends her time on other employees who are eating. There have been multiple similar experiences with this bartender. The simplest way to ruin a bar is when this happens...patterns of slow service, poor communication, or unprofessional behavior that keep repeating. Same staff, languishing customer volume.

Since the Blue Feather opened, my husband and I have tried our best to sneak out for a date night whenever our son is with his grandparents. We love their offerings (both food and drink), and the service has always been delightful. My personal favorite has been the steak tips in garlic butter, Parmesan fries, and béarnaise sauce. Their craft cocktails are always interesting and well-balanced; I've yet to have one I don't enjoy. Needless to say, check out The Blue Feather. It's a gem in Lewiston, and I truly hope that they stick around for a good, long time.

I'm not sure about this one. The food was good, nothing to…read morewrite home about but not bad. The cheesesteak definitely tasted like steakums, ya know that pre sliced stuff in the frozen section. The bus was too large for the amount of meat given, but the bread was good. The salad was solid for a side, fresh toppings, nothing brown, dressing was good but tasted store bought. The service was slow for how dead it was, the bartender was good for daytime service, nice guy, but I'd hate to see how that panned out on a busy night. Great space, nice decor, lighting, very clean. Lots of potential, several places have failed in this spot, hopefully they work the kinks out. (I didn't eat the other items pictured)

Margaritas Mexican Restaurant is a well decorated and very vivid colored establishment that offers…read morea unique twist on Mexican food in Maine. The menu has a fairly wide selection of appetizers, entrees, and deserts. The Barria Taco plate was served with 3 tacos and a small portion of pineapple. The Blackened Salmon Fajita platter came with a full skillet of bean, Spanish rice, 4 oz of Salmon, and a fair amount of sautéed onions and peppers. Additionally the meal came with an additional plate filled with salsa, cheese, fried pineapple, guacamole, sour cream, and pickled peppers. Collectively the food was flavorful, well prepared, delicious, and appealing to the eyes. The waitress was kind and very busy. It took roughly 45 minutes from the time we ordered food until it was served. Due to the waitress being so busy, they made minimal visits to the table. 8/10. We will be making another trip to Margaritas for another delicious meal soon enough.
