We went in after the lunch rush, after 2pm and seeming to be a nice looking, clean, and polite staff we noticed there were only 4 tables occupied, so being not busy figured we would give it a try. Standing waiting to be seated my wife spoke out to one of the associates there and asked if we seat out selves or do we get seated, then the associate says stand at the podium in the middle of the room that wasn't marked at all with any signage and then wait to be seated. Now we get seated, as we sit looking at these menu's with rubber bands holding the papers on either side of a board(looking kinda cheesy for a quote "upscaled, pricey back woods restaurant of Maine) we all (4) got water and then the waitress disappears. We looked at the menu's figured what we wanted and was still waiting, way to long for the business that was going on, we decided to leave do to poor service, it's to bad I was looking forward to see portions and tasting there food quality.

My family of five (two toddlers and a baby) went last minute for Easter. They had an amazing buffet with by far the best food I’ve had out to eat.

I don’t typically go out since I always have the kids but everyone was so welcoming and they loved the kids even with their loud and outgoing personalities. At the end of our dining experience we had to go back out to the car and grab a different card we had forgotten and in the time we were out one of the ladies paid our bill. She said she was blessed to see us all out as a family and our kiddos brought smiles to everyone’s face. I can not recommend this place enough. We had never been here before now but will definitely be visiting again. It was truly by far the best experience I’ve had out with the kids surrounded by the best people who clearly enjoy their work! I hope my review speaks well enough for this place as it truly was perfect in every aspect. Amazing outdoor views, amazing food and by far the kindest and most...
