New American Restaurants near Camden, ME

“We are frequent diners at Franny's. The menu is great and the specials are always innovative and delicious. I had the char and it was amazing. I will be thinking about that dish for a long time. 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.“

“I loved this restaurant so much that I ate here 2 of my 4 nights in Camden. They have such a wonderful menu that changes often. I ate outside each of my 2 times. They have a global menu that was very appealing including dishes from Brazil and Africa. The Spitzers were very refreshing. On my first visit I had the Marcequa (spelling) which was basically a stew with Haddock, shrimp and mussels in a coconut lime broth with jasmine rice and tomatoes. I loved it so much I went back another night. The whole menu looks great. The service was excellent. The only issue that I had was that my dish was priced on the menu as $35 but rang up as $38. When I pointed it out, they said that the menu changes (but the price??) and he didn’t offer to get the manager or anything. It still was great and if ever in the area, I’d go back!!
Things to note- Prices vary between menu and receipt. Bread and butter costs $4. The spritzers and the food are excellent!! Service very attentive!“

“Beautiful healthy food!!!!“

“We stopped down at the harbor for a snack on a lovely Sunday afternoon. Harbor Dogs is a tiny little stand, but they do a lot more than hot dogs! After a bit of deliberation we walked away with a million tons of food. Poutine! Asian fish tacos! Chili cheese dogs! Lobster rolls! Everything was delicious and those guys at the window? Top notch chefs. Get down to this unassuming shack and get yourself some amazing lunch.“

“Hidden gem along Maine Coast. Food is amazing with Chef Katherine from Buck’s Restaurant joining the team.“

“Amazing food, staff and atmosphere!“

“Fantastic food, service & drinks! My personal favorites are the Beet Napoleon salad & Eggplant Parmigiano!! Best in town & love the generous portion sizes for a very reasonably price. Their house marinra/red sauce is INCREDIBLE! Thank you Rustica for serving up such great food to us l locals!“

“We have dined at 18 Central many times over the years. The restaurant is warm and inviting, located at Rockport Harbor. Be sure to check out the amazing view from the back with the seasonal deck! The food is incredible! Our party usually gets a variety of steaks, seafood and raw bar. Chef Patrick and his team create high quality and super tasty dishes. Jessica and her team’s offer top notch hospitality. Beautiful wine list and well executed cocktails are a plus! The restaurant is open year round (with a well-deserved) break, I believe. They offer generous specials so be sure to check them out.“

“We had a great dinner Saturday, the dressed oysters were amazing 🤤“

“My wife and I had lunch on a Sunday after visiting the Farnsworth Museum. We chose this because it was open and within eyesight of when we decided to grab lunch.

Dumpy brewpub atmosphere. Good service. The red ale was good. My wife and I shared onion rings that were perfectly cooked and in the same light breading as the fried fish. I had the fried haddock sandwich which tasted right off the boat fresh. Perfect and matches any fired haddock I have had in New Bedford.“
