What Peter Heyl doesn't like about River House:
The service at this restaurant was excessively slow. The food, however, was unique, tasty, and enjoyable. It seems like they are facing the common issue of not having enough chefs and servers. Overall, the atmosphere was pleasant. I recommend trying the salad and the Fire Grilled Halibut. This is a good spot for a dinner meal, with prices ranging from $30-$50 per person. View all feedback. What User likes about River House:
I met my sister at this restaurant for a quick drink after work. It's located just down the road from my place and it was my first time there. The bartender was fantastic! Despite our limited time, he quickly whipped up a delicious tequila cocktail for me. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was incredibly cozy, and the food smelled delicious. I will definitely be returning! View all feedback.

read moreI like the small plate menu. Some items were excellent, some were average. This isn't a Michelin star restaurant, but it's a great addition to Damariscotta!
Jenn and Meg were awesome. Food is fantastic, and at the perfect location. Well worth the drive from Portland!
