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.
