Restaurants near Wiscasset

“Mussels & Brussels to start. Bolognese is tremendous. Beautiful rooms and decor”

“Great company and great food and so on.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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”

“What an amazing hidden spot! Wish we had found this years ago! We come here once a year on vacation. Pepper is a wonderful conversationalist, and so friendly! Every beer we tried was excellent, and the food was amazing. We took some beer to go as well!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We are from upstate New York. ~Rob and Janet Dandrow”

“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”

“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.”

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

“Everything else was closed in town on a Monday so we drove in and got the best pizza ever. The owner was so kind and accommodating, and the food was quickly made and served and it was delicious. Highly recommend. Cash only.”

“We have ordered several times from Liberty Pizza. The food has always been excellent. I'm happy to support a local business that uses high quality ingredients vs the cheapest they can get. Highly recommend.”

“First time I went there and will definitely go back when I'm in the area again. Friendly atmosphere, service was courteous and timely. Food was absolutely spectacular 😋”

“I will now consider myself a regular!! The Sheepscot breakfast is amazing and filling. A wonderful friendly and welcoming place. This is a real diner with excellent food and service. Highly recommend!!”

“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.”

“wonderful service and great breakfast and coffee. I tipped them and thanked them for coming to work”

“I drove through to grab a cup of coffee super nice people 81 cents for a senior cup of coffee. I really don't know how to thank everybody for showing up that day and being my kitchen and making me a cup of coffee. So thank you.”

“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!”

“This place is more than a restaurant, it’s a vibe. You can’t beat this pizza, it’s the best around. Highly recommend the food and the experience.”

“We were traveling and so glad we stopped here for lunch. We had our dog with us and the garden patio was beautiful and shady. Our server was friendly & attentive. The food was delicious. I had the lobster but ans it was excellent. Will definitely return when in the area.”

“Everything about this place was absolutely amazing. The food is delicious and the wait staff is very kind and attentive. We will definitely be back!”

“When visiting Maine two years ago, my husband and I were looking for gluten free restaurants, which can be quite the chore. After reading the reviews for Shannon's, we drove to Boothbay and couldn't believe all the gluten free options. We ordered more food than we needed because there were so many options. Everything was fresh and delicious. Seriously, gluten free onion rings! During that trip, we ate there twice and twice again the next year. We are looking forward to next year's trip and more Shannon's food. In addition to the food, the staff are warm, welcoming and friendly and make you feel like a neighbor instead of a tourist. We are huge Shannon's Unshelled fans!”

“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! 🙂”

“Outstanding place that never fails to treat us to a wonderful meal. Awesome people & awesome cooks here! Absolutely love being a part of this area to be able to enjoy such wonderful food!”

“Lasagna is a must try and their cheesesteaks every pie they make is always delicious the staff is super nice and the vibes are always fun especially when they have a band playing.”

“We just tried Vera Idyllic Pizza for the first time and we were impressed. We tried both pizza and calzone - both were excellent. The pizza dough was tasty and well cooked. The red sauce had good flavor and there was none of the ugly garlic powder or sugary flavor that you sometimes get on pizzas at other locations.
This was a cash only place when we visited.”

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

“This place was recommended by a former resident of Boothbay Harbor. It is simple, straightforward, and phenomenal. They make fried haddock and fries. That's it. When I saw that a fish sandwich was $20, I thought it must be a ripoff. It was just the opposite! My wife and I easily ate until we were full. I'm not kidding when I say it seemed like there was 2 lbs. of haddock. This was easily the best fish sandwich I've ever had.”

“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?”
