New American Restaurants near Augusta, ME

“Otto’s on the River was a true foodie experience. Our table of 5 ordered a few apps and entrees from steak to seafood to vegetarian. The table was very quiet once we started eating our meals. This was due to mouthfuls and chewing and sipping delicious cocktails and cold beers! Great wait staff and attention to detail. Nice atmosphere- relaxed, unhurried…highly recommend.“

“Planned a wedding rehearsal dinner with them while out of state. Such a great experience working with them! They were very responsive with just the right amount of suggestion/recommendations to make it easy to plan. And the food far exceeded expectations! With multiple guests raving about the pesto chicken, mashed potatoes and Korean beef. And their grilled oysters!?!…the Texans who’d never tried oysters loved them! Really appreciate you guys and highly recommend.“

“I had surgery in my throat before going here... Not even 3 hours before. The first thing I wanted was the best sherbet I could find. Thankfully cloud 9 provided the best! And they weren't kidding. It was some of the best that I've ever had. Thank you very much Cloud Nine by changing a bad day into a good one!“

“White Duck Brew Pub in Winthrop was amazing! Friendly team there and the poutine was by far the best poutine I have ever eaten!!“

“Mandy was such a delight. We came in for the first time and her customer service was spot on. Very friendly and made sure we got everything we wanted. It's nice seeing staff care about the customers. I dont have a lot of negative to say. Fountain soda was down, which saddened me but at least we could buy bottled soda. It was really cold inside the building but that's not a huge deal. I wasn't a fan of the nachos, however that's a personal preference I suppose, I just wasn't feeling it. I didn't like the biscuit but I don't like biscuits so that's nobody's fault. On the other hand the chili was absolutely amazing, best chili I've had in a very long time at a restaurant. It was on special so an added bonus, I should have ordered another batch to bring home. My husband enjoyed his haddock and since he likes biscuits he ate mine, he liked it. The menu online is very different from inside the restaurant but I was told the person who made the online menu passed away and they can't log into it, so no big deal, that's understandable. The prices are no different than most places, they have daily specials though but the menu isn't overly priced either. They also have chicken wings on sale each week, very good deals. There's plenty to choose from for those on healthy diets or vegetarians. Kids will love this place because there's a lot of kid friendly options. The atmosphere is very laid back, they have plenty of tables and have three tvs in the entire restaurant with a full bar. It's wheelchair friendly plenty of areas to move around. It's not an overly big building but it's a decent size. They accept debit/credit and cash. They have outdoor seating as well, very clean parking lot and tons of space for cars, parking lot is huge. The bathroom and dining are very clean. They make homemade bakery items that looked delicious. They seem to put a lot of effort in the food they serve and presentation wise too. They even offer merchandise to sell that says the restaurants name, I only saw tee shirts, maybe they have other things but that's all I saw. I love it when places make merchandise. I was very shocked at the hospitality, it was a good service.

Please do not think the minor nitpicks are bad. No matter where I go, no place will ever be perfect, not every service is the same rating. I point out both the good and the bad and it's best to be honest in your reviews. We had never heard of this place before and we figured to give it a shot, it's a pizza place, we should have tried pizza, maybe next time. However, mashed potato pizza? That might have to be on my agenda very soon, I bet it's good. Thank you Mandy and the other girl I didn't catch her name but thank you both for a great service, we will be back!

Overall, 4 stars! <3“
