12 Best American Restaurants near West Bath

“In town for a 3 day music festival and had a craving for seafood. Sorry I couldn't order everything at once. Had the haddock platter and a seafood chowder. I should have read the order taker better as I ordered clam chowder but they were out so I asked for the seafood chowder. They hesitated when I said it. The fish platter was great. Fresh and crispy. The chowder seemed to be the“

“Fantastic atmosphere, food and service! Not a single complaint. We had farm to board charcuterie, bread & butter, squash soup, fish in paper, the duck and autumn pasta. Everything was spectacular. They did a champagne toast for my birthday.“

“Ritual is an amazing bakery that I would put up against any in the state and also might have the best cup of coffee in town. The pastries melt in your mouth and there are more hearty options that have egg for a fuller breakfast.The food and friendly/chill vibe could be in a different country, but we are lucky enough to have them right here. In my opinion, definitely a little fresher and more crispy than Solo Pane in Bath.Parking: Easy street parking right in the morning.“

“I had dinner at this restaurant while visiting Wiscasset over the weekend on a recommendation from family who lives locally, we actually went twice!! So safe to say we were fans! The decor and surroundings themselves were so homey and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious, I am dreaming about the Haddock sandwich still! Truly the only complaint was the size of the salads which a few members of our party ordered was slightly disappointing. But they said that the flavor was fantastic and the shrimp they added was big and delicious! We also had the crème brûlée for dessert which I am also still dreaming of and probably will be for a while!! The service was fantastic, we absolutely loved our waitress! The whole atmosphere was wonderful; and I am sure we will be back next time we are in town visiting!!“

“We had a delicious meal at Long Reach from drinks, starters, mains, a special and dessert!! Everyone was pleased with their choices. The view was lovely , even from the inside, and the outdoor area, weather permitting , is beautiful. Our server, Jacelyn was a delight! She gave us great recs and shared all the fun upcoming events that will be happening. Thanks Jacelyn! We can't wait to return!“

“They do need to get their website up and running. The decor is welcoming and charming-- it was crowded but not full when we were there, and it was pretty noisy, but not excessively so. The staff were welcoming and knowledgeable-- although there are certain pieces that remind you that you are in a relatively new restaurant-- timing of food delivery, forgetting a drink order, a little over-stretched on service. We had a later reservation and we really felt rushed out the door. They should probably consider closing later than 8 p.m. so that the staff isn't racing around cleaning up by 7:45, even if they're no longer taking orders. Now, let's get to the important part. The food is really good. A fabulous addition to the area. The potato side for the filet is smoky and a great counterpoint to the meat, which was delicious. The steak frites was definitely delicious and a bargain. French fries were deemed excellent (a rarity for our French fry lover). The beet carpaccio was not as described on the menu, but a delicious combination of flavors all the same. The trout was perfectly prepared. We only had the ice cream for dessert, but the folks at the next table were raving about the sorbets and the tart. We did not ask about the options for vegans or people with food allergies such as gluten (celiac), dairy, or nuts. Several dishes are dusted with pistachio, so a super sensitive person might need to ask that the whole table forego any of those.“

“Chefs seeking to create within the context of #Maine Coastal Cuisine must respect entrenched expectations while at the same time seeking opportunities to introduce elements of surprise, and occasional open rebellion. Such is definitely the case at Blue, where the playfully inventive talent of Chef Esau Crosby brings unexpected twists to familiar Maine staples such as grilled swordfish and mignonette sauce. On a recent evening, the marinated & grilled swordfish was served with an inspired housemade ketchup based in retrieving the condiments’ pre-Heinz history, while the punchy & peppery mignonette offered fresh counterpoint, rather than drab camouflage, for a half dozen perfectly shucked and presented Robinhood Cove oysters. The music mix in the dining room offered a subtle clue to what was going on in the kitchen, offering an unusual (for Maine restaurants!) mix of jazz ballads from John Coltrane to Billie Holiday turning familiar tunes inside out, thereby making them new again. There was something both slightly sad and slyly humorous about seeing the same ole “Garden Salad" (yawn) listed as a daily "special", while from the regular seasonal menu we thoroughly enjoyed playful riffs on beet salad, here served as a colorful composition with pea shoots, cashews and shaved fennel; and in a second salad, baby greens were brought into perfect harmony with roasted local apples. The wine list was equally as playful. Yes, there were the inevitable California Pinot Noirs, Chardonnays and Cab Savs (double yawn), yet we were pleasantly surprised by the presence of an excellent Loess Grüner Veltliner and a delightful Argiolas Armentino from Sardinia. With regret, we must report the one sour note for our otherwise memorable evening at Blue, and that is the clumsy performance of the two Grey Havens (triple yawn) Innkeepers, who would be better advised to let the excellent front-of-house staff do their thing unencumbered by their bossy & boorish attempts at conducting, sort of like like beginner tuba players barging into a jam session among seasoned pros. In sum, we will happily return to Blue for as long as Chef Crosby performs at the heart of the mix. As for the Inn, well, the front porch does offer a lovely view of coves and offshore islands. For us, that will be "Inn" enough!“

“I love coming to 104! I came in to hang with family and had the best experience. We started out with some amazing Bee Sting wings, followed by some savory steak tips! This place always puts out amazing food portions and high quality eats. Thank you, 104 Team!“

“Very nice place in the commercial part of town.They make their own beer, but I didn't try it.Quick, efficient and friendly service.The food is abundant, I suggest that if you are not very hungry, two people share a first and a second.The Fish & Fried Very successful; I recommend ordering it with sweet potato and not potato as is traditional. The hake is smooth, just right and with great flavour. Frying preserves its texture and does not take away from the fish.The meatloaf, perhaps a little bland, but the "gravy" rare for this type of meat, makes it a good dish.Finally we ordered "Mac and cheese" with buffalo chicken, it is a huge dish; impossible to finish it. The chicken sauce is very well combined with the macaroni cheese, which lacks flavor and creaminess.I would return daily until finishing their menu.“

“I finally got the chance to revisit after a long anticipated return. Although many things have changed since 2019, the Blueberry Sunrise breakfast is still as good as I remembered ?. They have stayed strong through the times and have perseved with timeless goodness. All the best, may God bless you always ?“
