This restaurant is the former location of a church I attended when visiting Damariscotta every summer so I was curious to see the reuse and the reviews sounded positive. The owner is supportive of the local organic farms which was a plus. We went for a late lunch and wanted a lighter meal. I ordered a bowl of their fish chowder and my husband had a chicken salad sandwich with a green side salad. The chowder was delicious and my husbandâs sandwich & salad were simple but with very fresh ingredients. We sat in the basement level where they have repurposed some of the pews from upstairs as benches along with tables and dining chairs. There were no other patrons when we arrived but customers started to come in for dinner as we were finishing. We had an enjoyable experience and would go back again.

We popped in for lunch without reading any reviews and apart from the staff, what a disappointment, firstly it felt grubby, dirty, unloved. We ordered haddock which was hot but nothing special, eating the meal out of the plastic basket was difficult and totally unappealing. At $20 it was the highest we had paid for haddock.We wouldn't come again.

The oysters were fabulous! Our waitress recommended the ones selected by the house and they were all delicious, served ice cold with cocktail sauce and horseradish. I donât like raw oysters, mine were baked with seaweed and kimchi and fabulous. My only disappointment was my $15.00 fried oyster tacos. I received 2 tacos with one oyster per taco. They were delicious and well prepared but one fried oyster per taco for that price. Really? The taco could easily accommodate 2 fried oysters and it would have met my expectations.

Food was really good! Could tell they were making everything fresh and from scratch all at a great price. We loved the French onion soup. The service was ok and I would not recommend desserts there, they are just too sweet! Would stop here again if I was in town.

Every year while vacationing in Maine we stop here. They have unique and delicious sandwiches that are always fresh. The store is full of interesting memorabilia and candies from days gone by as well as having a large selection of Moxie memorabilia. Worth the stop for breakfast or lunch.

Came in at 745 and was immediately seated despite a very busy dining room. Scott was serving us and mixing drinks. He was exceptional. Knew beers extremely well! They were out of Allagash White and he immediately offered comparable (better) alternative, for my girlfriend,a Portland, ME brewed Heffeweisen that was fantastic. He made me a Don Julio margarita that was obviously made with great bartending skill. Service and food exceeded our expectations. Well worth the price!

It was so hard to decide what to have for lunch at Larsonâs Lunch Box. Lobstah roll? Kielbasa Reuben? American Chop Suey? All great choices, however, we decided on crab rolls. I think my husband and I hit the jackpot. The hot dog roll was lightly toasted with butter and filled with sweet crab salad. Our wait was a little long, but with only two people working the stand, I think they were working as fast as they could. The menu was adult and kid friendly and the prices were competitive to the area. Picnic tables with umbrellas offer nice shade from the heat. Open Tuesday- Saturday.Thank you so much for the review! We are so glad you enjoyed the crab rolls. We are especially proud of them. We hope to see you again and again thank you for sharing your experience.

I found this restaurant looking at places online near the Pemaquid Lighthouse. I am so glad that this one stood out for a place to visit and relax before a long drive. Although a bit windy, the outdoor seating was perfect. The sun was nice, and there was ample shade available to offer a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The staff here at the restaurant are all fantastic. There were several people who came out to check often. The food was delicious and a perfect portion. Would highly recommend and would visit again.

I am a regular patron. The bar at the happy hour has been a delight. I know that there are new owners. Happy hour drinks are somewhat more expensive now. I also understand that meals are more expensive with smaller portions. Not a recipe for success.Hi there, we are sorry you've found happy hour a little less happy lately - that's not OK with us. We are keeping tabs on pricing for the usual business reasons but are very focused on making sure the portions remain healthy and there is lots of value to be had - especially at happy hour! Thank you for your feedback.
