Foreside Tavern used to be significantly better. The menu was standard pub fare with nothing special. Food was tasty enough but not unique or interesting like it used to be. Probably won’t go out of our way for this again. On a positive note our server was fantastic and they had a good wine selection.

Our family goes to this restaurant very often, twice a month at least. The food, the cocktails, the atmosphere…we love it. But there’s been a couple of time that we have been unlucky with our waiter, both times the same guy. He is definitely not up to the standards of such a nice place. We will keep going and crossing our fingers that he doesn’t work our table.

Nice dinner outside at the Tavern. We had our usual dinner salads and we continue to enjoy the food. Server was pleasant and efficient even though she had worked a long day in the heat on the first over 80 degree day in Southern Maine this season.

We were pleasantly surprised at how wonderful the food was, service was excellent and we enjoyed the outside atmosphere. Definitely bring bug spray as the mosquitoes were just starting to come out. In our group we had duck, pan seared haddock, and short ribs which we all thoroughly enjoyed and finished. I also enjoyed a pineapple ginger spritzer which was very refreshing and very gingery. I chose this location that was close to a funeral we were coming from and had outside seating. I felt very comfortable there. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Okay pub grub, with good selection of local brews. Fish and chips was fine but my wife's short ribs left a lot to be desired, in particular in the presentation department. The risotto accompanying it had the texture of grits and was way too salty. I wouldn't mind going back but it's not going on my list of local go-to places for future travel.

We eat at the Foreside Tavern several times a month. The staff are friendly and the food is pretty consistently good. Right now the prices seem high but that is likely because of inflation.

Would not recommend to anyone. Service was slow and horrible and not to mention dirty tables. Asked the server if the calamari was good and if it was just rings or tentacles as well. He claimed it was his favorite and that it was just rings. When it arrived it was in fact not what he claimed it was tentacles and it was the saltiest i have ever had. Overcooked an overused old bay and salt was the only thing could tatse. The reuben sandwich was too salty as well. And that was the only flavor if there was even thousand island dressing on it couldnt taste over the salt. Wont be back

Overall a very pleasing experience. Disappointed that they ran out of duck at 6:30 PM on a Saturday night, I would have thought with the limited number of entrées offered currently, they would have prepared for the weekend. We were happy with all of the food we were able to get. Service was amazing. Lights could be a little lowered at dinner time.

Fries where under cooked and cold. The meat was burnt on the outside as if it was left on the grill to long. It wasn’t a cheap meal. I won’t be going back.

We arrived 15 minutes early and were seated right away. We had our youngest grandson with us and he was tired and hungry. Service was a little slow, I’m sure became of the Pandemic and lack of help everywhere. The food and atmosphere was good and they had a children’s menu.
