If you are looking to play bocce, then this is a nice indoor spot but unfortunately that's where it ends. The food and service were mediocre at best. We ordered two types of sliders, one being the fried chicken and they were almost inedible. The chicken was barely fried and then buffalo sauce was slathered all over them. The burger sliders were ok but nothing memorable. As far as the service, while the bartenders were friendly they couldn't keep up with the crowd. We waited and waited to be served and they most times did not even look at the guests at the bar to see if they needed anything. While I may try this place if I'm in the area again, I can't say it would be my first stop to hit.

If you actually want to play bocci, play at home. They let other patrons children run wild. Actively discommend the fish tacos.

Absolute terrible experience. Not only did it take forever to get an understanding if we seat ourselves or wait for a hostess, but the service could not have been more disappointing. We ended getting direct to go sit at one of the tables 10 minutes after standing there. While waiting another 10 minutes, we ended up having menus dropped off without even a, "hello." The bartender who ended up "waiting" on us couldn't have been anymore unprofessional and just had an overall unfriendly demeanor to her. For the price off the beverages and small dishes, we felt as if we were ripped off. The only reason of their continuance as a business is from their indoor activities, which tends to get way to loud if you aren't participating. As locals, we will not return and suggest others to be cautious if they are looking to get a dinner in camden as well.

Super nice

Amazingly friendly service as we lucked out and came in on a relatively slow night.

Kid-friendliness: Corn hole and Bocce lanes available right in dining room for ADHD comfort. Cool old mill cogs still attached to ceiling inspiring teachable moment

We loved it from start to finish. The atmosphere was fabulous, our server was super friendly and knowledgeable. I know I will have cravings for the Mongolian Beef bowl, long after we’ve returned to our home state. The server suggested it with fried rice instead of white and it was sooooo yummy. We hope to come back to Maine again and this will be on our lists of “to-do” again!

I ordered take out. Menu looked good. Food was slop. Overpriced and bad quality. Not fresh.

We were a party of 10 adults easily seated at a long table. We were offered drinks immediately. My wine was a descent pour. That was the best part. It was noisy with children running and playing on the Bocce courts. Food arrived in a timely manner, but mine was truly underwhelming. I ordered Mediterranean Mac and Cheese. It was elbow pasta, a bland white sauce with bread crumbs, and four large pieces of plain broccoli. We were given only a napkin and fork (dropped in center table). I couldn’t cut the broccoli! The menu price was $18. I was charged $21. The wait staff was friendly and accommodating.

Had a great experience here on a bit too busy Sat. night. The menu has a great selection so we need to return and sample more. But the two types of tacos we had were great and the fresh cut fries great as well.

Really cool place to get some good food, a couple of drinks and play some bocci ball or bags. All indoors! Old mill converted to bar/ restaurant with waterfall right outside. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Made us feel like regulars our first time there. Delicious food....good specialty drinks and a few games of bocci. What a great evening. Keep up the great work.

I chose The Jack for a dinner out with my wife because it has a beautiful waterfall that runs right next to the restaurant, unfortunately, outdoor seating was not available even though it was a nice evening. The place is very "different" with Bocce Ball and Cornhole lanes inside. At 5pm on a Friday the place was almost empty. We were quickly seated and our order was taken quickly by a waitress that I don't think smiled once the entire time we were there (bad day?). I enjoyed an order of the Thai Egg Rolls and Onion Rings, but my wife ended up finding a long black curly hair in her Chorizo Tacos and that was the end of that...my wife ended up seeing the long bearded cook in the kitchen with no mask or hair net on who we were later informed was the owner of the establishment. We explained to the waitress what had happened but there was no offer to even take it off the bill !?! Couldn't recommend this place to friends or family. Very disappointing.

Quiet place off the main street, but it should be busier. I had the Korean tacos, and although the portion size was a little small, it packed excellent flavor and the steak tender. My kids enjoyed the Bocci courts, and we all loved the view of the dam off the back deck. Our server (Chyenna sp?) was knowledgeable and kind. When we are up that way again, they'll see us.

Kid-friendliness: Server was kind and the atmosphere allowed the kiddos to play.

Wheelchair accessibility: I have a rollator and it was easy to park it near the kitchen, so it was in no one's way, staff is so considerate!
