    Two glorious cocktails
    Conor D.

    Let's be clear- Camden is a magnificent place to visit and there are no shortage of things to do. But, when you want to take a step back to a more elegant time, a time where the Bogarts and Bacalls signaled for one more before the night was over- then the Vintage room is for you. The cocktails are meticulously crafted and the ambiance never lets up. Yes a crafted cocktail can take a bit longer but the flavors are worth it, and the Vintage room is always worth a stop in Camden.

    The best drinks we had in Maine! Smokey the Pear was outstanding! Service was excellent. And don't skip the popcorn with your choice of seasonings! Loved!

    This is such a super nice hotel bar. So comfy, excellent bartenders. Convenient location. The cocktails are creative. And being a hotel bar they allow well behaved dogs! I can see us hanging out here in winter trips to midcoast. Camden has so few of these relaxing joints downtown. The only issue was that we expected some food choices looking at past menus. But I'm guessing that stops after tourist season? We ordered a $20+ cheese plate which has hannaford-like chunks and ritz crackers, yuck. Nice caper berries, though.

    Locals recommended stopping by here so I went @ 6 on Sunday 7/2. Happy hour 5-7. Rooftop bar was closed bc it was raining. Ordered the mushroom pan Vino risooto balls. . Had 1 glass of wine then headed to La Cave for mussels. - another local favorite

    Whisky Crisp...Bullit Bourbon, vanilla bean and down east hard cider. Amazing...

    Nice quiet little place for a cocktail. Small plates are limited but enough to accompany the beverages.

    A touch of class in a sleepy fisherman port, Vintage Room (part of the beautiful 16 Bayview hotel) offers a dimly-lit, cozy, old-timey lounge perfect for a mellow night sipping craft cocktails, whether you sit on stools facing Bay View (and the bros drinking bee-ya across the street), or the plush leather chairs near the fireplace, or at the bar, where the friendly and attentive Sarah and Meghan keep the place from being pretentious.

    A perfectly done old fashioned and a mocha martini. Awesome!

    I'm going to continue this five star rating because the bartender made me an awesome old fashioned. A hard drink to master ESPECIALLY for millennials! She even had a big ice cube! Nice. My wife had some girly chocolate thing. Nice portion size and we ended up with old people hangover the next day! Lol. Light weights! We didn't have any of the food but the complimentary breakfast in the morning was very nice!

Devon and Hannah are the couple that own and run the place - he's the ridiculously talented chef and waiter (or chef that delivers and describes the food) and she's front of house (greeter, waitress, sommelier, and seems genuinely happy! The food...so so so so good and unique. If this place doesn't win major awards I'd be shocked. There are maybe 10 tables so even when "busy" it's never chaotic (well I've only been once and it wasn't too crowded but Hannah said as much and she seems very honest!) The food and service is very much the appeal and they absolutely nailed it. Pointedly they did not spend a lot on interior, yet it's simple, tasteful, and appealing. They don't open every night, just Thu Fri Sat - which is why they still love it - their words but my wholehearted agreement. It's not inexpensive but when someone has clearly mastered their crafts like these two, I am onboard every time. Also, you know when you love a place but after going a bunch of times you get kinda tired of the menu? Well these two change menu every three weeks! Camden has a bunch of restaurants that cater to the tourists - they are fine and some are even good but not special at all. But this place, what can I say, I fell in love and will be back often! And if you are a foodie tourist who wants to treat yourself, you must come!

I had a Black Manhattan cocktail, supposedly differing from an ordinary Manhattan by use of a different kind of bitters (Amaro) and "filthy cherries." These seemed like basic good quality maraschinos to me (3); nothing "filthy" about them. Nevertheless it was good, fruity, and ample strength. The appetizer selection was small and heavy on bread-based items. (No free table bread was available - grrrr.) Most didn't appeal but the Roasted Garlic did, served with bread (2 kinds: a toasted crostini and a fresh crusty sourdough). The garlic was a whole head, sliced open for easy access and presented on a very hot plate, sweet and mellow from long slow roasting, and served with a choice of cheeses (molten blue, brie, whipped feta, or chèvre) - I chose chèvre and it was very good and a generous portion. A very simple dish not often encountered in restaurants. In retrospect this was the best part of the meal. I felt a little rushed at times and impatient at other times. It took a very long time to get the appetizer so I had nothing to dilute the effects of the strong cocktail. But then more than once I was asked about my entree before I was ready; once when ordering the appetizer and another time soon after I received it and hadn't made up my mind yet. I held my ground and told them I wasn't quite ready, and they accepted that and I took my time eating. There was an eclectic selection of wines by the glass. I had an interesting rosé from Slovenia. My entree was a roasted fish filet (halibut I think? It's no longer listed on the menu) served over a tomato-based sauce. This sauce was richly scented and complex and the plate was attractively garnished with micro greens. But the fish was on the small side and the flavor was monotonous - no discernible browning on the top. The other component, probably an herby cucumber-yogurt sauce resembling raita, which should have been a cool complement to the hot tomato broth, instead was melting unattractively and dispersing into it. Perhaps most disappointing, there was nothing else to this dish. It needed a starch or something (rice, boiled potatoes, or even more of those very good breads from the appetizer - wish I had saved some.) So it's good I got the appetizer first, or I would have left rather hungry. Desserts were also very limited and most didn't appeal. I decided on the Clafouti, which is a baked tart, thicker and heavier than flan, with fruit (black cherries) It was way too hot, didn't have enough fruit, and ice cream would be a far better choice than the amorphous blob of whipped cream it was served with. I should have skipped dessert. It was so boring. As for ambience: it's a crowded, noisy place but in a pleasing way. Very small, and I had reserved one of the 6 seats at the bar (I was dining solo). It's whimsically decorated, like with the grape-covered nude statue holding a candle. There was attractive artwork on the walls, some of which I believe was for sale. I did detect smoky odors coming from the kitchen that other reviewers have noted but I consider that a positive thing, not a negative. So come here if you wish. Check it out and form your own opinion. As for me, I wasn't sufficiently impressed and wouldn't return.

Thankfully we made it for their last open weekend for 2021! Service was extremely friendly - and we learned a ton about the winery and their practices. My husband listened to a podcast about the winery (which is why we'd wanted to visit), and the owner used to plow only using a horse. They have since switched to more modern ways - but I love that their wines are all-natural and with as minimal intervention as possible. The wines themselves are fantastic!! We had a 1/2 pour of each of the six offerings (sparkling white morphos, sparkling rose morphos, Chardonnay, cab franc, merlot and a cider) and I truly was surprised to find they are all GREAT!!! The sparkling white and Chardonnay were my favorites, but the reds were nice and dry and full of flavor. The cider was also dry and tart - it is lovely! The rose morphos was a bit too sweet for me, but tasty nonetheless! We will absolutely be back next time we are in the area!

Once seated inside, I was drawn to the view out the back of the restaurant over Rockport Harbor. Pretty amazing to say the least. The food then turned the tide. From the country pate to the scallop crudo to, of course, the oysters, the food was excellent! The entrees got rave reviews, as well, with the BBQ chicken with a jerk flavor being go flavorful and savory. The fried chicken with a bit of heat also was a crowd pleaser,and finally, the steak frites were done very well. Personally, I also loved their cocktail and wine menu, which had some innovation without trying to be too off the beaten path.
