Both the food and the service provided were outstanding. The restaurant itself is open, airy and the noise level is subdued. The wait staff were very attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. The food serving was on a perfect timing, and any gaps were filled with amuse bouche...a real treat. The only thing that could be improved would be to warm the oshibori (hand towels).

We celebrated our anniversary and Natalie’s did not disappoint. One of of us did the tasting menu and one did a la carte and they were able to time them together well (not always easily done). The flavors and presentation on the food were outstanding. The only glitch we had was a couple at another table talking loudly on speakerphone but obviously not the restaurant’s fault and management eventually handled it appropriately.

My wife and I eat out now relatively rarely and only at really worthwhile restaurants. This was an absolutely outstanding, nigh perfect meal from our appetizers of a best-ever gazpacho and imaginative deconstructed salad to our superb halibut and steak entrees to imaginative and wonderful interpretations of a chocolate mousse and carrot cake. Superb and excellent service, perfectly-sized portions and a quiet welcoming and comfortable setting. Bravo!

First off, Natalie’s has a wonderful ambience and outstanding service. This is matched by an array of interesting and flavorful menu choices. We started with flash fried oysters (and we are not big oyster fans- but they sounded delicious!) that were surprising in a wonderful way- so flavorful. The gazpacho with prawns was exceptional. Their house made bread and brown butter with Maine salt was elegantly presented on a rock! Main courses of halibut and rib eye and sides were superb and the blueberry lemon dessert sealed the deal. In addition to the food exceeding our expectations, the plating of every course was simply elegant! There are between course extras that just sets Natalie’s apart from the others. Do not miss this experience if you are in Camden! We will be back to do the Lobster tasting menu next time!

My wife and i travel all over the world and this had to be one of the best resturants we have been to. The service was excellent, there was a team a people making sure everything was taken care of which is rare in todays world. We ordered the 5 course lobster tasting and it was out of this world. We made sure out tip represented how pleased we were with the experience. Also, the bartenders were also just as wonderful. What a gem of a place.

The waiter forgot to bring my appetizer which I did order with my dinner. I found that very strange for such a fine restaurant. When I mentioned it he said it was his fault. I find that very objectionable for a fine restaurant.

Natalie’s is a high end restaurant with a sophisticated ambiance and menu. We chose one of the tasting menus which was 5 courses. We did not select the wine pairing but ordered our own wine. The food and the service were excellent. Food preparation and presentation were outstanding. The house made bread was an unexpected addition but was delicious. Because we chose the tasting menu, the price per person was high; however there are lower cost items on the a la carte menu. I highly recommend Natalie’s for an exquisite dining experience.

We had a great dinner, world class food and attentive service. The only negative all evening was a pretty stingy pour for my single glass of Cabernet, barely 2 ounces is my guess.

Very upscale French restaurant in Camden. Great atmosphere - great location with parking and ambience. Our starters (tuna crudo and beef carpaccio) were outstanding as were the entrees (steak and grilled halibut). The garlic sauce on the steak could be a tad less salty but otherwise very high quality some of the best crudo and beef carpaccio I’ve had. Expensive but ultimately worth it for a nice dinner in a peaceful town. Wait staff very attentive and friendly.

This was an amazing experience. The ambience is quiet and classy, with excellent views of Camden harbor. Service was impeccable, and they went out of their way to accommodate our child’s food preferences. The food was also nothing short of amazing, some of the best we have had across the US.
