We had a wonderful evening. Also, our son and daughter in law said they had a fantastic time. Thank you to the great people at NPH for a wonderful evening.”

“The food was amazing! We had the Creekstone Steak and Monkfish and were not disappointed, both were done to perfection! The wine 🍷 was perfect (house favorite was our’s as well) We did not have time for dessert (concert at the Boothbay Harbor Opera House) but we will on our next visit 😊 Definitely one of our new favorites in the Midcoast area!”

“Great company and great food and so on.”

“They make their own ice cream. Always delicious no matter your flavor choice. Portions are huge. You have to try a large banana split.”

“Staying at Wiscasset raceway for the weekend and decided to go out for ice cream. LOVE the ice cream Flight and the ice cream flavors. So glad we decided to go try them out. They had me at Ice Cream Flight! 🙂”

“WOW!!! We’ve been coming to the region for so many years and it’s so great to find a place to eat like Oysterhead Pizza Co.!!! 4 of us ordered takeout. Pizza, a Calzone, a salad, the Magic Beans… everything was perfectly delicious. Fresh, tasty… we’re from NJ where people think you can’t get good pizza unless you’re in NJ/NY. Last night while eating our amazing food from Oysterhead Pizza Co., I could tell them all: Get in your cars and drive to Damariscotta for some of the pizza ever!!! We will be back for sure!!!”

“We just stopped in for the first time today!! EXCELLENT! Homemade, fresh, superior texture, old fashioned donuts. Friendly greeting when we walked in the door, a rare thing these days! This is an experience I will repeat! Thank you for keeping it classy & old school.”

“As a regular and a big fan of the menu and the food, I was terribly disappointed to find several signature items missing from the menu yesterday. No more crabmeat items?! No more salmon BLTs?! The new owner explained that he can’t make money on them because they are too expensive…. Eider’s food was expensive to begin with, but always worth it and always something to talk about. Why d*** it down?”

“Let me put the cart before the horse and tell you this was one of the best, if not the best, experiences I have had at a restaurant. Corrinna was lovely. She took time to explain to this uninitiated wine consumer the differences between wines, glasses, and tasting, as well as pairing with foods. Speaking of food, this was also splendid. We started with oysters, which was a first, calamari, pork belly, arancini, and focaccia that melted in your mouth. My main course was the Swordfish with sweet potato puree, fingerling, and swordfish "bacon" jam. This is a silent gem that I selfishly stays quiet for my purposes, but Back River Bistro needs to be visited by anyone who loves a small curated dining experience. Much success to Matt & Corrinna. It is much deserved.”

“they were super accomodating and made sure I had the best dinner around after working a 12 hour day. thank you so much guys!”

“I am just delighted that I happened to be in Damariscotta for work yesterday because I drove by a black cat themed sandwich place and decided to have lunch there, and boy was it DELICIOUS. Immediate green flag was when I asked the woman at the register (I forgot to ask her name, but she was lovely) what she recommended and she put real thought into it. She didn’t even have to upsell me on a drink or a side because I was hooked already with just how friendly she was. I ended up getting the red snapper sandwich and a side of potato salad and neither disappointed. My only regret was that I ordered my sandwich to-go when I should’ve enjoyed their dining area more and stayed a minute. I will certainly be back next time I’m in town!”

“One of the best food experiences I have ever had. The food was absolutely amazing. The staff were top notch. The restaurant uses local farm sources so everything was fresh. A hidden gem”

“Good food, great steamers. But the bees wow. I literally bought a soda just to try to deter the lovely 5 we had away from our table. Didn’t really work, so we ate in the car. Idk what they can do about that situation, but yeah. Can’t really enjoy it and I wanted to”

“Definitely a cut above all the coffee available in this town, that is if you appreciate a better brew. I go here for one thing and it's coffee. I have not tried any of the food items but they look great!”

“We order weekly and highly recommend the Singapore rice noodles! Amazing owner and staff, make sure to stop in.”

“Awesome food, big portions!!!!”

“Nice friendly place. We stopped for dinner on Saturday night. Everything was lovely and tasty and met some nice people. Just realized today Thursday that I may have left a bag there realized today that I might have left a bag there. Called and sure enough they had found it in parking lot. Thank you so much Will definitely be back with friends. I had already mentioned it to some friends”

“These sandwiches were so good!! thank you so much for donating to our She's an Asset Female Law Enforcement Retreat! 💙🖤💙🖤”

“Two starving girls from SC, on a lighthouse tour of Maine…stumbled across this gem! We’ve been all over Italy and this pizza was top notch!! Fabulous crust & sauce! And the owner was just delightful! Highly recommend this place!”

“Absolutely delicious! One of the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever had!”

“My wife and I have been searching high and low for a top-shelf dining experience in Maine since we arrived. Today, we drove 2-1/2 hours from Bar Harbor to Wiscasset to eat at “In a Silent Way.” It exceeded all expectations. James Beard-level food and wine. From the oysters to the steak tartare and raspberry panna cotta, everything was magnificent. Well worth the drive. Confident sharing, In a Silent Way, is the most elevated food in Maine. And lovely service as well. Gushing.”

“The food is excellent at a fair price! The menu has a lot of good options.”

“Great food and friendly people. excellent menu. Stop by- you won't be disappointed.”

“what a great day spent golfing and eating ice cream.”

“If you’re a chai latte fan—the best!! Toasts, large array of bakery items made fresh, quiches other specialty foods available (changes), granolas, breads…Try the baked egg, cheese on homemade biscuits! Next to Coastal Bookstore, the restored Lincoln Indie theater. Plenty on free parking on harbor lot. Wonderful!”
