Great dining experience. Routier does a phenomenal job from the time you walk in to the time you walk out. Patty our server was awesome, food was excellent, cocktails were excellent. Highly reccomend

We've been dining at Cafe Routier ever since they first opened. We are huge fans and always enjoy our dinners there. The food is incredible and the menu changes with the seasons, but they keep their tried and true dishes year round. We also enjoy that the waitstaff doesn't fluctuate much at all and are very professional. If you haven't been, you need to go!

Great meal and good value! Our waitress Patty was super helpful with her advice. We shared outstanding mussels marinière and then shared ahi tuna entree which they split for us. Very generous portions. We ended with fabulous profiteroles. A super place to celebrate our special anniversary. We're from NY and have eaten lots of good food, but this dinner ranks up there with the best. Only negative was that it was dark and difficult to read the menu

Top notch food and great service. Pleasant surroundings. Looking forward to going back again!

We dine here 2-3 times a year. The cocktails, food and service are always good. If you are in the Westbrook area, I would recommend you visit.

Excellent food and service. This was a great fine dining experience. We will definitely be back for the fall menu. 48oz Tomahawk steak was plenty for two. Our server Dana was very professional and her wine suggestion paired perfect with steak.

From the moment we walked in the door, Andrew greeted us with warmth and professionalism. He was amazing to say the least. His customer service skills are truly out of this world—he’s clearly mastered the art of making guests feel welcome and cared for. When he described the specials, he did so with such confidence and enthusiasm that it was hard not to want to order every single one! It also happened to be my birthday (September 14, 2025), and Andrew made it feel as magical and joyful as it did when I was a child. His kindness, attention to detail, and genuine enthusiasm turned an ordinary dinner into a truly memorable celebration. Café Routier is lucky to have him, and we will absolutely be back, thanks in large part to Andrew’s outstanding service

My husband and I enjoyed our dinner. He loved the Duck and I was very happy with the Trout! Service was great and we would be happy to come back again when we are in the area.

When we made a reservation, we noted it was our wedding anniversary. We got the table we requested. Neither one of us was drinking alcohol due to health reasons and after ordering iced tea or waiter pretty much ignored us. My iced tea glass was empty I pushed it out to the side he came by and took The Empty Glass never asked if I wanted to refill didn't offer to bring me a refill just disappeared we waited a really long time before he came back to see if we wanted dessert or anything else. Then had the nerve to wish us happy anniversary as we went out the door. This is not the service I'm used to apparently you have to run up your bill by drinking

Amazing meal,helpful server, fantastic way to end summer ! (Summer on a plate entree was perfect !) John answered all our questions and made good suggestions. Definitely a favorite !
Service was a 9.5. Food, Octopus and Bisque were fantastic along with bread. Veal sorrentino chop was tasty and mashed potatoes were probably the best I ever ever eaten...Eggplant on top of veal left something be desired.....duck breast with pastry confit was delicious and perfectly cooked

Great menu, delicious food, casual bar side to the left, more formal seating with tables and booths on the right side. Beautifully prepared and presented food, octopus, calamari, fresh tuna all exceptional.

It is amazing that after 20 years this restaurant still produces very good food with a changing seasonal menu. Eating in the bar area or the main dining room are both great. Our server Dan is excellent.
