   The food at River House never disappoints. Jen was a wonderful server. The portions are not large but, in fairness, they focus on small plates. I'll take quality over quantity any day!

   Another wonderful meal, thank you. They’ve moved to a small plate menu since our last visit and everything we had was wonderful. Marinated carrots and parsnip/crab/corn bisque to start and fried cod cheeks and monkfish next and finished with a frozen salted caramel with corn custard. Joyous!

   Outstanding dinner and evening for four friends. We shared farm salad, fabulous carrots, a pea bisque and several orders of monkfish made in a light curry as well as chicken. We thought the food was terrific but then we ordered the desserts - wow. Don’t miss the custard with shaved salted caramel. We went at the second seating and had a delightful, leisurely chat with the staff as well as wonderful service. My favorite place to be! Portions are small but full of flavor as this is a place where you are meant to sample a variety of quality dishes.

   Jenn and Meg were awesome. Food is fantastic, and at the perfect location. Well worth the drive from Portland!

   I 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!

   Absolute gem of a restaurant with tapas plates to share or to eat solo. It gives you an opportunity to try farm fresh vegetables, seafood, and more prepared with interesting complex spices. Excellent service. We come every time we visit my in-laws here in Maine!
