    Beautiful terrace and setting, but perhaps the service wasn't quite up to R/C standards. It was a birthday dinner evening. They were reminded making the reservation. Reminded again in person the day before, and then forgot when dessert was served. Server brought extra treats, but never apologized. The oysters, lightly fried with bechamel sauce were to die for! Amazing, if pricey, wine list.

    I had the Lobster Tasting Menu and it turned out fantastic! It's a whole lobster prepared in several ways: each claw had its own presentation, one poached on a banana leaf and the other in a deconstructed Thai Spring Roll! The body meat was wrapped up in a dumpling presentation with authentic broth. The whole tail became the main course highlighted with exotic sauces. It's very innovative and certainly a new experience with a lobster. The cheese course of 3 distinctly tasting, Maine-produced cheeses was a great finish to an excellent dinner. Bravo!

    Over the last several years, we have always enjoyed Natalies as a special occasion restaurant. The food is delicious and artfully presented. Servers are attentive and well versed on the menu items. Wine list is extensive. Food portions are extremely small. Prices are very high. On this visit we left the restaurant feeling disappointed with the dining experience and were surprised to be hungry after consuming 4 courses. We are doubtful that we will return.

    Food was incredible. Complex, bold, punchy, slight, perfectly portioned and presented. There is nothing better than well made, good ingredients. The service was great as well.

    An exceptional dining experience. Service was impeccable. We had chef specials and nice bottle of French wine. The price point is higher but the experience was worth it. If you want to treat yourself to a more special dining experience in Camden, Natalie's is the place. Oh and the view matched the meal!

    Very nice Mother's Day lunch with great attentive service. The buffet was generally very good but not spectacular and a bit limited in its options. For example, there was a roast, which was a welcome feature, but that stood there on its own without any sauce / gravy or vegetables, a bit odd. Deserts were also delicious but a bit limited in choice. We enjoyed ourselves though as service was great and the setting is lovely,

    A new executive chef and gosh what a stellar experience. Natalie’s always has been our favorite restaurant in Maine and beyond. The balance between a special fine dining experience and a casual approach is always well guarded by the team. Never stiff but always very knowledgeable , dedicated and personable. In the past 10 years I believe we have enjoyed 3 different executive chefs at the helm. Although all have a different style, the owners clearly have strict outlines and they make sure it is always a Natalie’s culinary experience. I was told by the waitstaff that one of the owners tastes every dish and discusses alterations if needed. Not only is that a big commitment it also shows how concerned ownership is that we have a consistent dinner. However with the newest culinary chief Natalie’s has found an extraordinary balance of unique flavors , highlighting the ingredients itself and something that just touches your soul with every bite you take. In the grapevines we learned Natalie’s will be receiving a facelift and maybe even a name change somewhere next year. If thats true we are sad and excited at the same time, as we will loose a landmark in Maine and hopefully gain an even better dining experience in our small town. We recognize how much hard work, love and dedication goes in both the hotel and restaurant. We applaud the owners and all the hospitality driven team members for giving Camden international urban flair and sophistication!

    Great food even for a buffet. Enough options to appease the whole family ages 7 to 40. Enjoyed the raw bar. They refreshed everything non stop so it was always hot or cold as it should be served and fresh. Lamb was cooked perfectly and staff was very pleasant. Great selection.

    Wonderful Easter Brunch What a wonderful Easter brunch, again this year! Every morsel was perfect. The shellfish varieties were all great, especially the mussels with a smoked paprika sauce (heaven). The simple round roll was delicious. Loved the variety of cold and hot selections. Tender lamb with an amazing minty pesto was a treat. Of course, we saved room for the desserts, as each tried was a delight. The small flans in individual small round dishes was worth a photograph - and the meringues were light and moist. The vanilla cream under the berries was worth slowly savoring. A treat of a brunch to share on a special day.

    The service was excellent and we loved the dining room. The setting of the restaurant with views of Camden and Camden Harbor were beautiful. Most of the food was very good, but we were extremely disappointed in the desert pannacotta and thought it was such a disappointment to end the evening on. Mike the bartender was phenomenal and we enjoyed having a after dinner drink at the bar and talking with him.

    The restaurant was even busy in an otherwise quiet town on a winter Monday night. Rightfully so, because the food and service were crazy good. We opted for a chef tasting which was a well balanced feast of delectable dishes , beautifully presented and paired excellently with old world wines. There were additional dishes as part of the chef’s tasting and uni custard and the dashi broth were our favorites, together with the citrus panna cotta with blueberry compote. Attentive and friendly staff , making sure every aspect of the dinner is taking care off while making it approachable, something so many restaurants of this caliber lack. In short Michelin star fine dining exceeding our expectations as frequent visitors of Relais and Chateaux properties.

    Our celebration of the new year on Jan 1st was memorable. This place is far above anything we experienced in the area. Nice size table and comfortable chairs, the food was terrific! The service was the best. Kim our attending staff member was cheerful, knowledgeable about the entire menu and delivered the food with others without bother our conversation. The holiday lighting added to the comfortable ambiance. The TAB? outrageously delicious!

    We had the Xmas 5 course menu and wine pairing. The food and service were excellent, the sommelier was a bit rushed so we didn’t get a great deal of information about the various wines. Price wise, we knew what to expect going in but on balance we thought it was a little over priced for what we received. Still a great experience and excellent way to spend a Xmas dinner away from home.

There were oysters.. classic and contemporary both great and sweet- so fresh! Duck as a main, steak as a main.. pasta, salad and persimmon tarte for dessert all awesome and creative. The staff was friendly and attentive! Even champagne toast for our anniversary. All fabulous and thank you. see you in the summer

    A dinner at Natalie's is something truly exceptional. Being a member of Relais & Châteaux is a distinction that requires a high degree of expertise. Chef Joseph Nardo has accumulated a string of awards and possesses the metronomic precision to ensure that the dishes are not only of exceptional quality, but the combination of preparation and service is worthy of a master chef. His brigade, led by maitre d' ans manager Sven Smits who adds a Caribbean-Dutch touch to his other remarkable qualities as a distinguished supervisor, is equally remarkable for its great class and its discreet way of seeing to everything quietly but with what efficiency. A meal at Natalie's is an event in three complementary steps: a) The reservation and the anticipation of the pleasure to come. b) The indescribable pleasure of the taste buds during the tasting. of the taste buds during the tasting. c) The joy of remembering everything by writing comments on the OpenTable website. A trip to Maine without a visit to Natalie's is like a missed lover's date. A Thanksgiving 2022 celebration to remember.

    The service was excellent the drinks were great! However the overall meal was absolutely below par for a supposed 4-5 star restaurant . The salad was great for everyone in my party of four . None of the plates after the salad were consistent in ingredients or quantity. The turkey was delicious but was a service for a child’s plate. The absolute worst was the desert. It had no taste and it was far from an apple tort or anything apple! It had a dried up sliver of an apple piece with no taste . The crust was terrible - the only tasteful part of the desert was the little bit of ice cream. I would not in the future bring my family or loved ones to your restaurant for a thanksgiving or holiday celebration . Natalie’s can not handle the volume of people for big occasions as such ! Get a new chef . My family and I have never been so disappointed with Natalie’s take on a holiday meal!
