“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!”

“All the small plates were delicious morsels. Beautiful spot on the river! Lovely for a party.”

“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.”

“Amazingly good food and friendly environment! THE Best Blueberry Pancakes EVER!!!”

“Stopped in on our last day of vacation visiting from Wisconsin and if we know one thing, it’s dairy. This was some of the best I’ve cream I have had anywhere. If you’re in Maine and looking for some darn good ice cream, don’t even think of stopping anywhere else!! You will not be disappointed. Thank you so much for an amazing experience today”

“If you haven’t tried or retried @LuckyFortune in a while, you need to. The food is delicious with so much variety and the owner is the best! He has gone out of his way to become a part of our wonderful community. Give them a try! You will be glad you did! I highly recommend!”

“stopped by after the botanical garden lights; and they were closing. Cindy was so nice to still make us a large pizza. What an awesome staff, food is delicious, and the place is so fun! I’ll be back with my girlfriends this summer!!”

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

“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.”

“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?”

“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.”

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

“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!”

“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”

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

“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”

“Awesome food, big portions!!!!”

“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!”

“Ceaser Salad with Chicken Salad, Delicious!!!”

“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.”

“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.”

“The best sandwich I've eaten in 10 years! So good I'm glad I don't live closer! I had brisket sandwich that was fall apart tender, hot, flavorful & delicious! The swiss was melty & the braised cabbage perfectly cooked, tender & sweet, even the bread was delicious & hot! The sandwich was huge & jammed full with meat. My only advice is eat at one of the tables so you can really get over it & hang on with both hands! When I saw the size I promised to eat half but it was so amazing I ate every bit!
I can't wait to go back & try something else!
Friendly staff, neat & clean, great decor for a eat outside place. Loved it!”
