Restaurants in Hallowell

the best anniversary dinner I could have hoped for. Excellent food, outstanding wait staff. This may start a tradition.

I love this restaurant, but the last few visits there’s been a problem with the food temperature. I had short ribs and my short ribs were impeccable. The temperature was perfect, but all the other pieces with it ….the purée,the carrots and the potatoes were all cool. They were not anywhere near warm enough so they’ve got to figure that out…. maybe warming up the plates? On my last visit my soup was cool and I should’ve sent it back, but of course the dishes are so beautifully plated and the soup had decorations on top, but I’m not the only one that has had a problem with temperature. I was at lunch with a friend and she had the same problem with her soup so the cook must get a plan. I can’t be the only one that’s having problems with the food temperature. 

The vibe was wonderful. Setting was cozy and chic. Food was spectacular. Pasta was so fresh and flavorful! Definitely returning!

We had an exceptional dining experience at Ann book bistro this evening. The food was outstanding as it was the service. The ambience is very charming. It is fine dining on the mid coast of Maine, difficult to find. We will be back.

Amazing find on our way from Bangor to Portland. Stopped for lunch and had amazing oysters and first lobster roll! Cocktails very creative and tasty and service was awesome.
