Gorgeous views from their dining room & Bar with great service. Enjoyed a delicious ol recipe clam chowda that totally hit the Spot. Had a crab fondue appetizer that might have been the best dip I've ever had. Added some cold drinks and it was the perfect afternoon stop after a pleasurable day skiing & snowboarding at the local mountain. Can't wait to try more of their menu!

The calamari at this
restaurant is beyond amazing . Never have I had such tender calamari with such wonderfully light batter.

From the wonderful espresso Martini to our amazing server I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

It's on the harbor with amazing views be sure to treat yourself for a visit you won't regret it.

Great restaurant. Arrived on new years eve at 6, got a table about 6:30, by the fireplace in a quiet corner. Had a delightful lobster fritter and clam chowder, with a unique blueberry soda. Highly recommend.

Get the Thursday burger special. It's cooked to order and comes out with a ton of hot fries. Food at neighboring tables looked delicious.

We visited Camden in early December, 2025 just as the local holiday festivities were starting. Wonderful area, particularly to experience the magic of the holidays. Lots of fun events and convenient to take day trips to many other wonderful areas of Maine.

The fried haddock sandwich we had here may have been the best meal we had in Maine, and that's saying a lot because we had a lot of fantastic seafood while in Maine. If you're thinking this sandwich is anything like any other fried fish sandwich you've had, you would be wrong. It's impossible to overstate how wonderful it was. And the views from our table on the deck? Some of the best anywhere! The only negative part of the experience was the very long wait. We didn't get there until almost 2 pm and still had to wait 45 minutes on a table. Then, the amount of time it took for our food to come out was also quite long. This lunch took up more of our afternoon than we had planned, which was unfortunate because we were only in Camden for a day. Nonetheless, it was still a highly memorable meal, and I would definitely go back again the next time we're in Maine.

No lobster 🦞 or crab legs. Very pricey for comparable menus in area. The food was good, atmosphere was good, service was good. Big issue for me was I ordered a crab cake dinner $34 asked to add a piece of fish, refused add a piece. I saw on the menu they offer “add a crab cake to a salad for $16” I asked to add additional crab cake to my already $34 meal, assuming it would be $16. This was refused. I was told I had to order another full dinner. Do not expect to get any order changes (even when you are willing to pay for them). Sadly my first experience in Camden was not 💯. I left feeling like our patronage was “take it or leave it”. Next time we will leave it. This city was on my bucket list of places to visit. The Waterfront was highly rated but if you read the lower level reviews you see the same sort of “take it or leave it” mentality. Do better Waterfront Restaurant the city is wonderful make the experience match the dream.

The food was absolutely disgusting! Very overpriced. No lobster, lobster rolls, or clams. Any special request required an up charge. The worst restaurant along the entire coast.
