“this place is a true Maine gem.! we've been going here a few years now is without a doubt the absolute best pizza in the state of maine! the sandwich is also a good second choice. they always have unique local beers, and a super friendly crowd. we travel 45 minutes once a week and it's worth it!“

“***update: I am editing my review a few weeks later- I should have done so sooner! The restaurant manager called my husband to apologize for our experience. They sent us a gift card in the mail so we can give them another chance. The customer service is greatly appreciated!! We look forwarding to coming back to use the gift card and give the restaurant another shot.***

Really disappointed in our experience at the Monstweag this afternoon on Mother’s Day. We made a reservation for 3pm. We left at 4:38 and our appetizer hadn’t even been started yet. We spoke to the waitress and after learning our app hadn’t been started, we requested the bill and left. We were told it would still be an hour before we got our appetizer and we had three very young extremely hungry children. The server was apologetic but we were not offered a concession, discount or anything (we had ordered 6 drinks at this point) for the extraordinarily long wait and lack of communication about it. I don’t normally expect anything like this but I was frankly blown away at the lack of communication or accommodation considering the circumstances - on Mother’s Day nonetheless! We’ve been to Monstweag several times in the past and always had a good experience. This was out of character for this restaurant and really disappointing. We left deciding where to try to get a pizza to try to get some food in the kids, knowing it would be too late to get a reservation anywhere else on Mother’s Day. I debated whether to write a review but I do think after an experience like this management should receive honest constructive feedback. It was a disappointing experience to say the least.“

“I got the beef bowl and a smoothie today and it was really good. I recommend this place for sure. Today's smoothie was strawberry and last night I got a green and wellness owns. Both where really good and the churos are next level. Definitely check this place out“

“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“

“Just learned this was originally Park's Diner on Front St. in Waterville!! I ate breakfast there all the time back in 1959 when I was a kid with my dad.“

“Always great food and big portions! Wait staff is great too!“

“Was down in the Wiscasset area antiquing & decided to stop in to the Taste of Orient. Usually try to go there whenever we are down in the area. as usual we were very happy with the food, service . it was delicious & even had some to take home. The crab rangoons were delicious. The best we've ever tasted. Would definitely recommend. Will be back again when in the area.“

“First time in my almost 70 years and decided to finally drive down with my best friend and it did not disappoint. We waited 2 hrs,made some friends along the way and the lobster roll was unbelievable. This will be a tradition now,GREAT job Reds“
