Server was awesome. Drinks were great. Not so much for the rest. In very small print at the bottom of one side of menu you are going to be charged an extra 3 % to pay for having the cook prepare your meal. This is not part of the normal tip. If you prefer grilled onions rather then raw you pay 2 dollars more. If you want cheese...another 2 dollars. Your 18 dollar burger is now 22 and served with stale potato chips. French onion soup was served luke warm. Salmon was served completely dried out. Hamburger was very dry and appeared to be a frozen one. Paid for bread at $6 and received 2 store bought bread sticks and 4 pieces of store bought french bread. Prices are not cheap so you would expect high quality but not what was served. 6 people at the table and we all agreed we would not be back. It used to be great and we had been here a few years ago but the new owners apparently don't get it. First time we ever had to pay to have our food cooked. READ THE FINE PRINT AND VERY SMALL PRICES NEXT TO FOOD CHOICES.

Our favorite restaurant in mid-coast Maine. We've eaten here dozens of times, always on Saturday nights. The menu is creative and the food is always fresh and well prepared. The service is unfailingly excellent. Parking: There's a municipal lot across the street where we always find a space.

Over the past week we have enjoyed the gustatory delights of the Damariscotta area, with the Damariscotta River Grill being one of our favorites. Our host at our B&B had suggested that we make reservations early: he said that even on a weekday we would likely find the Damariscotta River Grill to be busy. He wasn't kidding: we arrived early (for us) at 5:30, and as we ate more and more people kept arriving, and with good reason. Our dinners were exquisitely prepared, with a lot of attention to detail. We shared a plate of mussels as an appetizer: perfection! My wife had the duck, and pronounced the risotto about the best she'd ever had. I had the scallops that were lightly breaded, and perfectly cooked. Service was impeccable, and waitress was knowledgeable and informative. There is plenty of parking within a short walk. Damariscotta River Grill is clean and inviting, a most pleasant atmosphere for a truly memorable dining experience.

Had a gift certificate and if we didn't we might have just walked past this place. Our first time there was fabulous around 2021 around the end of the pandemic. They were attentive and food was delicious. But this time everything was so-so for the money.

Great food and the Honey Badger cocktail was the best cocktail I've ever had.

Great food, with exceptional attention to detail. Eben, upstairs, is a master cocktail maker (outstanding drinks: painkiller, and old fashion), and all around knowledgeable of every offering at the grill. Friendly, professional, and personable. We got burned pork ends, and mussels as appetizers. Fantastic! I highly recommend the Thai chicken wrap. Tasty!

Great food from the restaurant and prep kitchen! We are up every year and now make it part of our routine to purchase frozen items from the prep kitchen to enjoy at our summer house. Enjoy dining at the restaurant too- you can't beat the Thai chicken wrap!

Since covid BS, supply chain issues and the lack of people wanting to work, many restaurants seem to rate average however this place stands out. Great service, food outstanding. There is an upstairs and downstairs, but can be a bit loud due to crowd level. A definite return.

After arriving in Maine the other day my family and I went for lunch accompanied by my friend. Him and I shared the mussel starter and the rest of my family ate various other dishes (not mussels). After about 3 hours my friend and I started to feel incredibly nauseous and were violently sick for the next 17 hours. Nothing after the mussels was eaten (no one else in the family showed any symptoms) and they almost sent the both of us to the hospital due to the violent nature of the reaction. Furthermore to our surprise when we called the restaurant to let them know, they seemed utterly uninterested and effectively brushed us off with a refusal to accept any form of responsibility. My family and I have never experienced such a blatant show of carelessness and rudeness.
