Why d*** it down?”

    “We are visiting Damariscotta for a few days. We have been here before. My wife likes the fresh seafood and to swim. (If it is from the sea, it is not for me). I like the area. I started out reviewing Italian establishments but now include other interesting places. I visited Rue 77 for coffee and a pastry. Tracy waited on me and Kate makes the coffee. (Kate IS the coffee.....her words). They were both very friendly and helpful. I had a decaf Americana with 2 shots. It was very good, and a piece of coffee cake which tasted more like a French recipe, buttery. I shall return.”

    “Bravo, I went to the Pumpkin Festival and ate at your sandwich shop. After we ordered our sandwiches we were sitting on your deck. It was bad timing as it was the start of the races. It became uncomfortable when people were trying to stand on your deck to watch the races. The uncomfortable part was people standing over us as we were trying to eat. Thank you for having someone there to remind the spectators that your deck was for patrons and not spectators. Thank for the professionalism in getting confrontational people to leave. Finished dinner with your delicious whoopie pies to go. Can't wait to have the opportunity to eat at your establishment again as all of the food was spectacular”

    “I wanted to go hiking in the fall foliage. He wanted to play disc golf. Our compromise - a road trip to Damariscotta. Leaf peeping and oysters for me, finding a place to watch the Pats game for him. We found The Penalty box! (Toe pick!) The cocktails were well-made and well-balanced (the espresso martini was sweet but I DID say yes to a chocolate drizzle… who wouldn’t?!). The buffalo tenders were freshly made from real chicken, lightly floured, and perfectly spicy. The pretzel was hot and fresh. And they have THC drinks for the NA connoisseur. Will definitely come back for future oyster-seeking football-tolerating road trips.”
