I would love to know where they get the decor for this place. I'd imagine a lot of flea markets (fabulous ones)? It's hard to pick my favorite decor item because there are so many, but it's somewhere between the chairs shaped like hands and the giant silver octopus tentacle under the T.V. Ooo and the corner with all the clowns! Drinks are strong and cheap. The bartenders are friendly. There's a patio, but it's a bit small. There are plenty of comfy chairs/couches. They have live music pretty often, so if that's your thing, you'll be happy there on weekend nights. The only thing is the space is kind of small for live music, so it can get really loud. This is an excellent chill option if you're in Hallowell and want to skip bars that tend to get a bit fratty like The Quarry Taproom. Highly recommend!

After looking at a multitude of menus in the weeks before our trip I decided on Regards. No regrets! Great meal from beginning to end. Has that fine dining hospitality element - polite, discreet and detailed. This spot is for open minded adventurous eaters - not traditionalists. I love fusion, New American cuisine and surprises, so this worked for me. Minimalist modern interior - it was stark but somehow still warm and inviting. I asked if they had a natural wine - all their list is natural - hallelujah. My two reds by the glass were nice and smooth. Loved: - Caesar salad, grilled arrow cabbage, it was half the head! So simple, yet complex, so delicious and bits of cured mackerel in place of the classic anchovy - tamale - so sweet and pure, the white mole sauce was delectable - beef cheek tacos, simple and tasted each ingredient, tender meat reminded me of lengua - Peruvian chocolate cake - loved the light semi salty cloud whip on top of a flourless chocolatey square, perfectly bittersweet Really good: - fried bread with razor clams, really good just heavy handed with the XO sauce - crispy squid and fairytale eggplant, generous portioning, super crispy, too much batter for me, would be a great starter for a larger party to share An ambitious restaurant that would fit well into any major city in the US - 4.5 rounded up.

Nice modern restaurant. Upscale Japanese Mexican fusion. Small plates. Tapas style. Recommended to order 4-6 plates for 2 people. Service was great but the food was lacking and tiny portions for the price. Oysters were flavorful and smoky. The sesame bread had a sweet and smoky flavor with the miso butter. The tacos had handmade tortillas but minimal meat. The tamale was served with a mole sauce but I was expecting more flavor. I was underwhelmed with the food overall.

Our dogs have enjoyed it each time they come, whether it be for camping or just stopping in to swim. I'm not sure if dogs are allowed in the water or not, but our dogs prefer to lounge in the sun or shade of the picnic table anyway.

We met many ppl over the week we were here and most of them repeat travelers who agree this may be their last year due mainly to the attitude and corporate hospitality, aka none. It's a shame, this was a nice family feel and accommodating camp ground. Our family have been coming here for three generations. The campground itself is pretty much unchangeable, the amenities could be upgraded and spruced up, but we come for the feel of the grounds.
