Wow! Abigail, what outstanding service and equally excellent food! I ordered to-go as I was on a long trip for work and those fish tacos are the best in our great state of Maine! And the service was spectacular! This place is obviously in the best hands possible! Thanks so much, what a delightful experience all the way around!!!!!!

Amazing find. Damariscotta downtown was too crowded so we ended up at Ann's for a 50th birthday celebration. We literally got one of everything so I can say without reservation that you can't go wrong with whatever you order. Atmosphere is great and the staff incredibly friendly. We will definitely be back for a date night.
We did have kids with us and had varying degrees of success getting them to eat. Families should be aware there's no kids menu so it might not be the best match for picky eaters, but everyone made my kids feel welcome and they did great. Thanks all for a memorable evening!

Nice surprise. The only negative was that after we arrived we were informed that it was a fixed menu for NYE. Unfortunately one in our party didn't eat meat, and the mains were all meat. They were nice enough to find substitutes, but it was a little surprising because the restaurant called to confirm reservation, but never mentioned the menu. We will be back because the food and service was very good.
We had an exceptional dining experience at Ann book bistro this evening. The food was outstanding as it was the service. The ambience is very charming. It is fine dining on the mid coast of Maine, difficult to find. We will be back.
Book nook is a good idea but the food and service is terrible. Way overpriced and just an all around not recommendable experience.

Guest chefs for what? Went here and the food was ill prepared at best similarly to the front end. Ambiance was interesting the book nook idea is cool but staff and chefs leave much to be desired.

Caught Ann’s on an off night. Certainly food was good, but unfortunately service and kitchen were short staffed and server was very inexperienced.

Ann's has a very unique atmosphere for this area. Intimate and sheik. They give you complimentary pita and guacamole, and their salads are excellent. I had their chicken marsala and it was very tender but maybe a touch too much rosemary. The sides were very good. Jennifer had the tomato soup as her entree (which she regularly orders) along with the warm burrata salad (again both excellent). Raye was an excellent server!

Quaint, very unique menu, and lots of different things to try no matter what your taste is 
Ann's Book Bistro has redesigned the interior, since our last visit, which has resulted in transitioning to a swank and a more comfortable but not formal space. As usual, service was excellent, to the credit of Chauncy and Linda, and the food very good and well presented. We will be back soon.
food was OK, and some dishes were even quite special, but the prices were way too high for what it was.
We had such a great time at Ann's. The service was attentive, the food was fabulous! It is now on our list of favorite Date Night restaurants when we visit Damariscotta. We will be back!❤️
Cute little cozy bistro. Great friendly staff. Food choices are different and interesting. Salmon crudo and hummus was delicious but menu is very overpriced.
