Water Street Tavern Inn - Lubec

I enjoyed 2 delicious dinners here- salmon the first night and scallops the second night. Both were fresh, nicely flavored, and perfectly cooked! I sat outside close to the water and enjoyed the view of Campabello Island, as well as watching some seals nearby. A wonderful dining experience with friendly and attentive staff!

Meal, drinks, location and ambiance was great! Service was a little slow and the fried mushrooms were a little more geared for a pub, not a fine establishment like this.

Ate dinner here. Nice restaurant and excellent blueberry pie.

This is a quaint place to stay. I believe only 2 inns in the town. Booked timely online (9 day prior to arrival) for the suite which was open at the time. Rec'd a call from the owner next day that it wasn't available and had to reserve one of the 4 rooms. The room was good for our one night stay. Common area near the rooms was homey. Made dinner reservations (6pm, restaurant opens at 5pm) when the owner called to change our room. Was so looking forward to a wonderful dinner experience based on the atmosphere, reviews and their site. It was our last day of vacation traveling the coast of Maine. I wanted everything to be very special just as our vacation was. We were sat timely several open tables but they filled up quickly. Menu indicated to have patience. We weren't in a rush at all and enjoyed the atmosphere plus talked about our next day heading for home. Did not order appetizers. Dinner salad was excellent very fresh. Haddock was very good. Ribeye was good I expected tender but more like a strip. Service was very good up to when we received our dinners then no one checked to ask if all was good or if we wanted more hot tea or anything. Servers, not ours she had many tables to tend, passed by us several times and no one took our plates away. Owners were busy cleaning tables for the next guests. I finally went up to our server who was getting drinks at the bar and I wasn't fast enough. Owner saw me and asked what I needed, and I asked for the check. He then connected with the server and she brought over our check. She asked if we wanted dessert and we said no she had the check and walked away didn't take our plates. My partner and I have worked owned in the restaurant business for years retired now. Service is critical. It's great this restaurant is busy good for them. Our recommendation if you decide to dine here is to reserve a table when they open. We went for a nice peaceful walk after approximately 7:50pm.

The Inn and restaurant are a lovely and warm touch of sophistication in Lubec. The food is fantastic and the atmosphere casual but elegant. Owners Judy and Jim are welcoming and knowledgeable about the area and surrounding towns. We travel frequently and will return regularly to this lovely Inn And the gorgeous view from our room.
