The server's are always knowledgeable and prompt. My lady gala cocktail is my favorite. We love the dumplings and spring rolls and always share those. Looking forward to our next meal at Franny's never disappoints.”

Winona's 31 Elm St, Camden American • $$$

“Feel free to read the full review below, but If you’re terse, the scoop is that Winona’s is quaint, exceptionally unique in its excellence, and is a must stop.

While on a waitlist at a bustling nearby establishment, my wife and I decided to take a walk. Our goal: a quick snack and beverage while we wait for our spot at the bar.

A few steps away from our original plan, we walked past Winona’s, an unassuming but inviting front, and put our eyes on the menu posted in the window. It was compact, but refreshingly uncomplicated and clear. When our attention drifted from the menu through the glass into the interior, we caught the attention of an older couple who emphatically waved us in with thumbs up and smiles. How could we not stop in..

We were greeted with nothing short of exceptional hospitality, and found a spot at one of their limited tables by the windows. We mentioned we were just in for a quick drink and snack, and the response was nothing short of miraculous. We felt we received the same service and hospitality as if we were the most important guests of the night(which I assure you, we were not).

My wife and I were traveling from Montana, and I begrudgingly consider ourselves “foodies,” but we admittedly each know our way around a kitchen and bar. She got a glass of white, and I got a beet root beer, I think “Helleflower”. Great.

We ordered what I can only remember was titled “Scallop Crudo”. As i’m writing this review from memory a month after my visit. Which, if anything, should attest to how compelled I was to write this, and how great my experience was..

The dish was fresh. The scallops sliced thin, sitting in a perfect acidic Leche De Tigre, with sweet cut apple, tobiko, and bitter greens. I likely missed a few small details..My point is that our “snack” was rich, balanced, light, filling, refreshing, and unique. My only regret? Leaving this place for a nearby establishment.

I told the proprietors they should be proud of what they built and are putting out into the word. I meant it.

“I honestly can't understand why this gem isn't getting more attention. We have eaten there three times, and each time, the food has been out of this world. It's shocking that such a small, unassuming place knocks it out of the park in terms of bread (every single bread on the menu is FANTASTIC--last time we went, our table got one of each!), entrees, drinks AND baked desserts. If you want a stellar meal in a low-key atmosphere, you must go to Albatross. I sort of don't want the secret to get out, because I want to always be able to get a table, but this place should be packed every day.”

Constructively speaking I wish LB was open more often since I travel a lot and get LB FOMO!”

There is no room to even wait for the bagels. IF you decide to sit down you end up being crowded by the line waiting to order. Parking was easier at the previous location as well. Please move somewhere better! 🥰”

“We enjoyed Fresh and Company. It's a nice venue in a location close to the waterfront. I had the Rigatoni Ala Vodka and a broccolini side. I'd give my meal a five out of five. My spouse had the Chicken Schnitzel. She'd give her's a four. The wine prices were quite fair. It was a nice meal. The service was good, but a bit slow. That's OK, we'd rather have some extra time than be rushed. We'd happily return in the future.”

“Food typical subway. Staff helpful and respectful. But we were not sure how to get my elderly mother up the steep from steps. She was determined and we did help her up with some trepidation, only to find out that around the back door is a place to walk out with a ramp. But this safer place wasn’t at first obvious to us as an option. I don’t believe there was a sign directing handicapped persons into another entrance that wasn’t seen from the main entrance. In the end we drove around back to pick her up. But if we hadn’t seen someone go out that back door mom planned to try to go back down the steep stairs. I had to stop her

In retrospect when we didn’t see a safe way inside we should’ve left and not attempted fate. Fortunately no one was injured. They need to find a better location or make it more obvious a safer place to enter and exit. It’s a huge risk and liability for Subway.”

“We had a harbor cruise scheduled and arrived early to beat the traffic. On our way to the harbor we passed this deli and looked in. Saw the baked goods and that was it. I'm pretty particular to the calories I consume, but couldn't resist the peanut butter cup brownie and coffee latte - both of which I've never had. YUM! We sat inside to watch the water for nearly an hour. After the tour and walking the town we were nearly to our car and decided to go back for a sandwich to take home for dinner. Best retracing of steps ever! The sandwich was very tasty and there was enough for a second dinner the next night.”
