The Back River Bistro provides a warm and professional dining experience with a beautiful atmosphere and attentive service. Guests can enjoy a variety of flavorful dishes, such as the braised beef short rib with cheddar polenta and the duck breast with tangy sauce, cauliflower, and butternut squash. The restaurant's wine selection is notable, with the Coravin special pour of the evening, the Papillion, being a particularly excellent choice. Many visitors praise the service, food, and reasonable prices for quality meals, along with special cocktails that are often highlighted. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff are friendly, creating a welcoming environment. While some dishes may vary in flavor, the overall experience is highly regarded, and the restaurant is considered a top spot in Midcoast Maine for a memorable meal.
