I also loved my partner's scallops, and the roasted carrot spread is a definite crowd-pleaser. The setting is worth mentioning too--the view is absolutely gorgeous, and this may be the best-located restaurant in the lovely village of Damariscotta. A great find, and somewhere we would happily return to.

Sammy's deluxe... unforgettable experience. Was walking around Rockland and we just stumbled upon…read moreSammy's not knowing what to expect or what the menu was like. Sat at the bar since they were quite busy and haven't had a chance to clear a few tables. Restaurant reminds you of grandma's house, rustic, chic tables and chairs, mismatched dinnerwares and the whole ambiance playing "killin jive" from the 1940's. I wasn't born then but the whole vibe reminds you of that era that I only get a pleasure to watch on TV. Now for the food... Jonah's crab as you can expect was sweet and delicious but a pain to eat using your fighting tools however, the dip was heavenly. BF had the burger, he was surprised that you can't modify it, but thoroughly enjoyed how unique it was, I told him, the chef takes pride how he prepares his food, so you either take it as it is or get something else. Keep an open mind. And I had the overnight beef shank, wow, simple yet delicious, fork tender and luscious marrow. The celery and fennel salad added brightness to the dish and the blue cheese wasn't overwhelming. And I don't like blue cheese and this creativity made me wanting it more. The dish isn't a huge portion, but surprisingly it got me full that I left a few bites of the beef and the salad. For drinks, I had the Rosé and he had the New England India pale ale, light and bubbly. Service was okay, a little slow in the beginning and as the night went on, our server became friendlier.

The meal we ordered was the worst I have been served in a restaurant. It was an oversalted, tasteless mishmash of ingredients that should never have been sent out of the kitchen. Kind of like a super expensive gruel. We considered voicing our dissatisfaction to the staff, but after reading how the owner unprofessionally confronts customers, we decided to not get into it with him. We chalked it up to a bad experience and next time we'll head across the street to Ada's, which is consistently solid. The server was pleasant and the drinks were good.

The food was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff made the visit especially enjoyable.  Everyone was friendly and attentive, and we truly appreciated the excellent service. It's clear that your team takes pride in making guests feel welcome and well cared for. Thank you to the entire staff for such a great experience. However, Donny "Tres" (inside joke) was the nicest and offered us recommendations that ended up being mouthwateringly divine! He was captivating, comical and considerate! We're definitely planning a trip back just to sit at the bar and have a good chat sesh with him!  Oh and the views are amazing, especially if you can grab them at sunset!  We would happily recommend your restaurant to others and look forward to visiting again!

From musty dive hotel bar, and not one of the fun ones (well there was this one older lady that would serve you the strongest drink of your life whether you told her you were driving or not but other than that), to fine dining. Beyond impressed! This place is BEAUTIFUL and I don't know how they did it, but it doesn't have that smell anymore. And anyone that has been there in the past knows exactly what I'm talking about. Kinda like your grandmother's basement after a flood from 15 years ago that no one probably cleaned up. Yeah you know the smell. The short ribs were gorgeous, the reduction was perfect and the wild mushroom au gratin was heavenly. NY strip was perfectly tender, seasoned well and cooked to perfection. I'm never surprised anymore when a restaurant forgets what "medium" actually is. Sadly, I'm at the point where I'm surprised when they get it right. Pleasantly, but still surprised. This place, definitely gets my vote when I go to Freeport to spoil myself. If you haven't gone here yet, you're doing it wrong.

If you can make it at home, you might as well. Porter has a great menu from top to bottom, the cocktails are excellent, and the service even for a newer restaurant still trying to shake out the systems is excellent. Every server was super helpful, energetic, and focused on making a great meal even better. We've been three time and every time has been just a little better as the service and wait staff gets used to the full remodeled dining room

IF YOU'RE NOT A LOCAL, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!…read more We gave this place THREE chances, and each visit got progressively worse. The first was decent, the second involved waiting 20 minutes just to order, and the third was absolutely unacceptable. When I tried to order food after our drinks, the bartender rudely snapped, "NO, I have more tables who have been here first!" Excuse me? Is that how you speak to paying customers? After finally taking our order, we waited another 40 minutes. My soup appetizer never arrived. Meanwhile, locals who walked in 30 minutes AFTER us were served before we received anything. We also watched approximately FIVE tables leave, seemingly because of her attitude. This isn't a staffing problem. It's a customer service problem. Apparently, if you're not a regular, you're not a priority. We eventually walked out. As a business owner myself, I strongly encourage the owner to install cameras and see firsthand how customers are being treated and how much business is walking out the door. If you hate your job that much, QUIT. Don't take it out on paying customers. We travel, enjoy life, and support local businesses, but we will NEVER pay to be disrespected. Three chances were two too many. NEVER AGAIN

The service was great. Very attentive and efficient. The food was as great. My party had a variety of items, from the beet & goat cheese salad, deviled eggs, pancetta and Brussels sprouts, cheeseburger, and BLT with Lobster. Everything was high quality and delicious. The fries which came on the side of the burgers and sandwiches were also excellent. The restaurant has a nice outdoor space but the weather was a little rainy the day we went so we didn't sit outside. I do suggest they add more barriers and greenery/plants to separate the beautiful outdoor seating space from the parking lot across the way.

We ordered the surf (scallops) and turf, lobster roll, and pasta for my 6 year old. The Scallops was cooked to perfection. You can choose between scallops, lobster, or shrimp as your surf protein. The lobster roll was great. They accommodated my 6 year old flavor profile and gave red sauce on the side. Aside from the food and space, Mark and Celine exemplify the epitome of hospitality and service recovery. There was a minor hiccup during our meal. And Mark, the manager, went above and beyond to amend the mistake. Thank you Mark and Celine for a great dinner after a long day exploring. My daughter couldn't stop talking about the cookies and chocolate ice cream.
