A+ fabulous experience! The entire staff was friendly and engaging. We came up from RI and Augusta was a quick pass through. After a four hour drive, this place was exactly what we needed. The food was amazing and came out perfectly (both of us needed slight modifications of the original menu item we chose) and our drinks...well we stayed for two because they were so carefully created and delicious. Our server (I hate that I can't remember her name) was extremely knowledgeable...

This was one of the best stops for food during our Maine vacation. We came in expecting small food dishes and good cocktials. We ended up getting OUTSTANDING food and OUT OF THIS WORLD cocktails.

The staff were super welcoming, treated us like family, and really made the experience great.

I got a smash burger while my wife got a fancy salmon bowl. Both were extremely filling and perfectly cooked.

The cocktails were perfect,...

This place is so hip and trendy, definitely has a very very cool vibe, great service, and a beautiful bar with very tasty beverages. And the food is not only beautifully prepared you can taste the quality of the ingredients. We just discovered this two days ago and came back for one more dinner before we leave to head back to Florida tomorrow morning - Don’t pass this up. You’ll have a great evening all the way around 🙌
