The staff here are super nice. They even gave me a few tips on what to do around town after my meal. Just felt really welcome.

Sophia was so helpful with the menu, pointing out the fresh ingredients in each dish. Really appreciated her attention to detail.

The orange chocolate martini was the star. That flavor combo really worked, smooth with a nice citrus kick. Fish tacos were solid, fresh and flaky. Fries were a bit too salty for my taste, but hey, the drinks and main were on point.

Their gluten-free crust is a solid option. Got a margherita pizza on it, and honestly, it&#39;s one of the better ones I&#39;ve had. Nice texture, didn&#39;t feel like I was missing out.

I grab their Acai Bowl to go pretty often. It&rsquo;s a solid choice. The place does get a bit warm inside sometimes, and you might wait a few minutes for it. But the bowl itself is fresh and hits the spot.

The clam chowder was the star. It&#39;s thick and creamy, packed with tender clams and potatoes. The Reuben sandwich is solid too, with good corned beef and sauerkraut. That&#39;s what I come for.

The burrito bowl was huge! Honestly couldn&#39;t finish it all. For what I paid, the portion size was a real win. Everything tasted fresh, too.

As a Brooklyn guy, I was pleasantly surprised. Finelli&#39;s pizza is legit NY-style, best I&#39;ve found outside the city.

Been coming here for years, and the breakfast sandwich is always just right. Coffee&#39;s solid, too. It&#39;s my go-to spot when I need to focus for a few hours. The place is rarely packed, so you can usually find a quiet corner.

The rotating cocktail menu here is a real draw. Tried the &quot;Smoked Maple Old Fashioned&quot; last night &ndash; the balance was spot on, and that hint of smoke was a nice touch. Keeps me coming back to see what&#39;s new.

The haddock cakes were good, but the portion felt a bit small for the price. The house-made chips were nice. The bangers and beans were actually the best part, really tasty. Just wish there was a little more on the plate.

The corned beef hash omelet was solid. Just a heads up, they only take cash, but there&#39;s an ATM close by.

Classic Maine diner vibe, cozy. Got the lobster roll, fresh and loaded. A bit pricey but the line moves fast. Solid spot.

Stopped in for a quick bite on a road trip. The sausage and pineapple pizza had this really fluffy crust, just the right amount of chew. The place itself was super cozy, with these warm wooden tables. A nice little spot to break up the drive.

Stopped in for lunch on a Thursday. The lobster roll special was a solid deal, and the onion rings were crispy. I paired it with a local IPA, which cut through the richness nicely. A good find on the road.

The staff here is really friendly and they joke around with customers a lot. It makes the whole visit feel easy and fun. I always leave in a good mood.

The staff was really patient while we took our time picking a flavor. Went with Coffee Heath Bar in a homemade waffle cone. It was super creamy. Price was a bit high for a single scoop, but the cone itself was great.

The clam chowder here is so good. It&#39;s rich and creamy, packed with tender clams and just the right amount of potato. Honestly, it&#39;s up there with the best I&#39;ve had. The crab cakes were solid, too. A really cozy spot for a bowl of soup.

Solid breakfast spot. The Benedict was spot on, poached eggs perfect. Pancakes are huge. Good veggie and gluten-free options too. Smoothies and espresso bar a nice touch. Prices are fair for what you get.

Huge menu, you can get sushi or pad thai. Portions are generous. The decor is pretty cool.

The panko crust on the fish was so light and crisp. And that tartar sauce! The horseradish gave it a really nice little kick. The fries were solid, too.
