What a great new restaurant for Midcoast Maine. The food was amazing and the service impeccable. They need more street signage so you can see it from Route 1 but you'll definitely be glad you went.
The food and service were wonderful and the ambiance of the dining area wonderful. The entry could be improved some as we first thought we were walking into the storage area. We will dine there again !

We used to live in Portland's Munioy Hill and regularly ate at the Blue Spoon there. We were thrilled to hear that it had reopened in Midcoast Maine. The new location does not disappoint! We had one of the most enjoyable dinners we've had in quite some time- the service was impeccable, the food was absolutely delicious, classic Bistro fare, and the ambiance was incredibly lovely. We will be back soon!!

I’ve visited twice since this off-season gem opened a few weeks ago. Phenomenal for every occasion. On our first visit, we went all-out with a larger group; for the second, we slid up to the bar last-minute for an immensely satisfying burger after a long day when I was too busy to feed myself and nothing else was open in the area. Both phenomenal experiences.Highlights were the confit duck—finally! someone who can properly prepare duck!—which was balanced and brightened by the accompanying frisee et al; the steak frites, order to whatever temp the kitchen intended, which was on the pinker side of med-rare but uber-tender and rich, with a perfect crust; and I had a few bites of the chicken and I’ll probably order it next time when I’m looking for the ultimate comfort food on a cold night. Without going into detail, the starters are also great—go with a group and literally order them all to share. Prices are generous for the quality, local area, and state of the world in 2023.White Negroni and the Manhattan riff are executed perfectly and a good mix of interesting, while still accessible and fun. Great wine list, with lots of small producers.In a slow time of year in a place where I’ve often spent too much to be underwhelmed, this spot is a breath of fresh air.

Another great evening with friends at the Blue Spoon. The Salmon and Burgers were delightful with a tomato jam that takes the burger to another level. The service is warm and welcoming. They have found their footing and have provided another great option for diners in Camden. Thank you!

I had high hopes given owner reputations and early press. Sadly, it underwhelmed. Service was grindingly slow and choppy. Food was OK but expensive in small portions. Won’t be back.

We had a very good time. Food was excellent, staff was delightful. As the only ones in the restaurant at first, we were able to learn about the space, the move from Portland and the chef/staff. We will be back.

A great addition to the Rockport, Maine restaurant scene and well worth a visit. Our booking was during the opening weekend for this restaurant and they are still ironing out small details but overall we had a really pleasant experience and enjoyed great food along with really friendly, efficient service. We're hoping that the acoustics will get some attention as the room was extremely noisy, making it difficult to hold a conversation without yelling and adding to the cacophony. At one point we could hear faint strains of music trying to fight its way through the noisy chatter but it wasn't possible to tell its genre, only that it contained a bass guitar. Assuming that noise reduction get looked at we would highly recommend Blue Spoon.
The food was absolutely delicious! $18 for one glass of wine was a little steep. The restaurant noise level was way over the top. It was very hard to have conversation at our table of six.

Gloria is the best! Her service plus an amazing atmosphere made our night

Ordered med burger which was practically raw. Had to nuke it at home. Nothing to rave about. They threw some lettuce in the box - I guess that came with it. Good lettuce but that was it, definitely not a salad. Olive garden does a better salad dressing. Paid $10 for what turned out to be 3 oz pudding with way too much course salt sprinkled on top. Pretty miserable all around. Will not be be going back.

My wife and I had the most wonderful experience at The Blue Spoon on Saturday evening. We arrived for 8pm and while our table wasn't ready due to previous guests having an extended stay, we were offered a seat at their precious little bar. Lindsay was our server and she was fabulous. She was gracious, knowledgeable, engaging, warm and attentive. Five courses later, a few glasses of wine gone and the restaurant fading into the night we left with one the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. Thank you Blue Spoon!
