Diner Reviews
  • "The parking was tricky but once in the atmosphere was warmly elegant, with exquisite service, and phenomenal food and drink pairings. As a party of three, we were initially seated in a lovely seating cluster in the lounge before moving to the main dining-room. We all had different menu selections and the visiting mixologist both entertained and educated us with his respectfully dramatic explanations of what and why he chose our alcohol pairings. The evening was like a subtle gourmet dinner theater and we unknowingly held center stage in all 5 acts! The servers were perfectly synchronized with our personal dining pace allowing us to actively socialize while enjoying our meal. This was not an inexpensive evening but worth every penny!"

  • "Natalie's is as fabulous as advertised and they made these two novice foodies feel right at home. We had the lobster tasting and I'm pretty old fashioned about my lobster but we were thrilled with every bite. And the dessert was beyond incredible."

  • "Natalie's is a restaurant you go to for special occasions. Each menu choice was coursed between 5 and 7. My wife and I went with the 5 course lobster special. We knew that we would be enjoying our meals over a three hour period but that it would be reloaded. Everything was perfect! Great food, wine and service."

  • "Stayed in Camden Maine for our anniversary, this was like a big city restaurant with excellent food and wine. Definitely a great find for a romantic setting and fab views. They have a pairing wine dinner a little $$ but we'll worth it."

  • "After an hour’s drive on icy roads, we walked into a cozy scene with a blazing fire and a great looking bar. We vaguely regretted that we were not going to eat there. The dining room was lovely, too, the wine list was good, and we chose the seven course-tasting menu. We especially enjoyed the gnocchi with mushrooms in a rich sauce and freshly shaved black truffles and the lobster tail on bok choy leaves with a blood orange sauce. Dessert was a beautifully arranged plate of little Dutch pancakes called “poffertjes” with a smoked maple ice cream. All in all the presentation, blending of flavors, and relaxed pace of our meal was enhanced by the wait staff’s attention to detail and the precision with which the chefs presented each plate."

  • "We dined at Natalie's on New Year's Eve and what a remarkable night it was! It was a special 'gala' event with live jazz, sumptuous hors d'oeuvres and a delectable 8-course tasting menu. Festive and impeccable from start to finish. HIGHLY recommend to any and all who truly appreciate fantastic food! As an aside, I highly recommend staying at the Camden Harbour Inn, too! (Natalie's is located here......)"

  • "We celebrated our anniversary, which falls on Christmas Eve, at Natalie's because we are new to the area, we live close by, and we were told it was a great place for special occasions. It was a wonderful evening. We both selected the 7 course menu which was possibly too ambitious as we were feeling well satisfied by course 5, but every plate was creative and delicious. The service was excellent and all the servers very knowledgeable. They knew our name and, when we departed, they had our coats ready and waiting for us - a nice touch. We would definitely recommend Natalie's to anyone looking for a fine dining experience in a lovely setting."

  • "Natalie's has a prix fixe menu, and 2 tasting menus- we chose the prix fix, as it had fewer dishes, and we were not that hungry. However, somehow our 3 dishes turned into 7, with the intermezzos, and 8 if you include the little lagniappe box of sweets they gave us for later. Each dish was beautifully prepared and served- we are not great foodies, but have traveled a bit and eaten well, and this ranks as one of our top 10 meals. It is hard to recommend one dish; all were good to excellent.. This is not a fast food experience- leave about 2 hours, at least. There is a wine pairing menu, and a la carte selections, as well as a full bar- but we really don't drink so I can't speak to that. Decor is modern, yet warm. It was lovely overall."

  • "I like the local food sourcing they do and they take good care of you. The staff are very familiar with the food. They do tend to buzz around a bit, but they are really quite good at little details."

  • "Great view of Camden Harbor, wonderful place for a special meal with a special someone. My wife and I ate there while on a romantic weekend - trying to sampling the best food in the area. We had the 8-course tasting menu along with the accompanying wine menu. The amuse-bouche and the main entree of veal were the best. The other courses were OK - but not distinctive. The wine and especially the wine steward were great. He loved his wine and loved to tell us about it. $100 for the food and $100 for the wine per person. Your mileage may vary. Happy we went, but probably would not go back."

  • "Our dining experience was flawless. Ambience, food and service was impeccable. Fine dining, but not stuffy. Pricey, but worth it."
    Dined on 10/13/2013
  • "First, the service was excellent but the amount of food is extremely small for all courses. The entree, for example, was a three bite affair....three bites and it's gone! Huge plates...microscopic portions. The preliminary courses were equally tiny. The food was tasty but "average" and extremely expensive. One drink was $22...scotch (not a "double" either!) We left feeling hungry...which is something that has never happened before...especially after paying a bill that was north of $300 for three people. On the whole, we all thought that the experience was over-rated, unjustifiably expensive and disappointing. There are other restaurants in the area with an equal (or lower) price point, better food and an overall better experience."

  • "This is what dining at Natalie's is: "a special event".....It is far more than an evening out for dinner. From the time my wife and I first sat at our comfortably and elegantly appointed table, to the introductions of our attentive wait staff and sommelier, to the chef's memorable and carefully prepared elegant dishes, we were treated to something special in culinary art. A truly special event!!!"

  • "We were impressed with a return visit to Natalie's during our annual Maine vacation. Certainly one of the best restaurant meals we've had. The chef was quite innovative in presentation and use of ingredients and it made for a fun evening of culinary surprises. Since our last year, notable upgrade in service levels and just say the Wine Director Micah was also an excellent host as well as helping with wine questions. Hopefully the owners can keep the team together because our experience was much improved over a couple of years ago. Highly recommended."

  • "My husband and I spend several weeks in the evevings reasearching hotels and restaurants in preparation for any trip. As we can all agree, they should filled with colorful memories and great food. We chose to celebrate our fifteenth wedding anniversay while in Camden. We were both fascinated with what we read about Natalies's and intrigued by the menu. However, we have napped while dining at some five star resterantts and delighted with some that our cab driver had never heard of. Let me say that Natalie's exceeded our expectations. The seven course together with the wine pairing was "French Laundry"."

  • "Food incredibly creative & exceptional. Romantic Inn overlooking Camden harbor & mountains. Top of our list with the White Barn Inn, David's Opus 10, Back Bay Grill & Hugo's. Staff knowledgable, friendly & very professional. The food was simply amazing. From interesting salt choices accompanying the unsalted butter to a sorbet accompanied by fruit pearls - sweet little caviar size bubbles to impeccable entrees & desserts Every course was a pleasurable adventure! I would give them a 10 if it was possible."

  • "The meal was great. Had tasting menu which had changed recently so waiter could not tell us much about it. Mgr and somellier took over service. Food was great and wine pairings were both spot on and generous. We are kind of wine snobs so discussions with the somellier were an added bonus. Many staff members were involved in providing attentive service and in explaining the chef's creative dishes. Starting today to save for a return visit."

  • "This is "THE" gourmet place in town and it does have wonderful food and ambiance. It seemed to us, however, to be just a bit too self-conscious about building and maintaining its stature. Service could be improved by just lightening up a bit."

  • "After hiking Mt Megunticook and Maiden Cliff trails in Camden Hills State Park I felt I deserved a treat. Dinner at Natalie's and selecting the Lobster Tasting Menu paired with wine was a fitting reward. Each course was amazing, the wine choices were excellent and the service was perfect. I will definitely be back for dinner after my next hiking trip to Camden. Natalie's and a heavy duty hike at Camden Hills are a perfect combo."

  • "This was one time internet reviews and Open Table really paid off. I just asked SIRI for expensive restaurants in the Camden ,ME area. Up came Natalie's with a few others. Not a low priced restaurant ,the bill for two was around $300.00 all included tips etc. Could have been higher if we ordered wine by the bottle.. The service is impeccable. The wait staff is well trained and knew every ingredient and method of preparation of the food. Food is well above average ,works of art ! Portions are balanced so that one can enjoy all courses that are included in their $68.00 per person menu or their $98.00 per person menu. Not being regular 4 to 5 star diners we were unfamiliar with some items on the menu. A most excellent evening!"

  • "What a lovely night we had... The lobster tasting menu was amazing. As Mainers, we're pretty familiar with lobster, but the chef's creative dishes blew our minds! And those rolls with flavored salts - to die for! Our server was a delight and the bar manager accomodated our every whim - even creating a special cocktail to go with our dessert. We'll definitely be back."
