Restaurants near Newcastle

“Brought some of your Maine State Lager home with me to Villa Rica Georgia. What a fantastic beer!!!”

“My wife and I love the Newcastle Publick House. The people are great and last weekend our son and his wife joined us at NPH to celebrate his birthday. The folks at Newcastle did an awesome job. 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.”

“By far our favorite restaurant in the Midcoast area. Always delicious food and great service. If you need gluten free options this is the place.”

“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.”

“Amazing donuts and a great fundraising opportunity! They are great to work with and extremely friendly! Can’t wait to work with them again next year.”

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

“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!!!”

“Great food and better help!”

“My Abdul Brisket sandwich with passion fruit lemonade, was amazing, and had a lovely chat with the owner Abby! I’ll definitely be back.”

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

“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”

“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?”

“The food is excellent and the atmosphere is great. The owner and staff are the friendliest people you could ever meet. They make you feel like family as soon as you walk in. We will be eating here for a long time!”

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

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

“Awesome food, big portions!!!!”

“Thank you, Chris, for delighting us with such a memorable menu for New Year's Eve starting with the ceviche which was sublime with such subtle flavors providing a delectable experience to the palate and continuing with the steak & seafood cooked with utmost attention & savored with every bite! To top off this experience a delicious & refreshing dessert. We are most fortunate to have such talent within our reach!”

“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”

“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.”

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

“The wait was an hour. But it was well WORTH the time. They don’t measure or weigh the lobster. They just load it up. I had leftovers. I have a healthy appetite but I couldn’t finish it all. I opted to not even eat the majority of the roll. It was tasty with the awesome warm butter that is served with it. This was my first visit but not my last. Awesome hard working folks.”

“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”

“Amazing baked goods!!!!!!!”

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

“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!”

“Ive been driving by for 4 years and finally saw they were open. One reviews mentioned cash only so I brought cash. Ordering via phone after I placed my order the man said see you in 20 minutes, cash only. I said okay. It sounded a little rude but that's okay. When I got there the guy was super friendly and older and so I let him keep the change from my $20 for the $15 large sausage pizza. It felt on the lighter side because it's very thin pizza. It was okay pizza for Maine but not good enough for me to order again. Very nice people though and I don't think their pricing is too expensive. I just didn't think it was super great and my Dad agreed when he tried a slice.”

“Great atmosphere and good food what more could you ask for!”

“Clean cozy spot with friendly staff. Good coffee, nice and hot. Had a cinnamon roll and a scone, both were excellent although I wish they could have heated up the cinnamon roll but they said they can't. Also, the bar seats are pretty uncomfortable, which is too bad as we like sitting at the bar and looking out the window at the street, but we wound up moving to a table which was more comfortable. Overall great spot and right on the main drag, good location.”
