Damariscotta River Grill

I called ahead and the person on the other end of the phone was friendly and knew a lot about celiac disease and went over the restaurant’s protocol for handling celiac customers! I felt very safe and when we arrived, the menu had GF items clearly marked and even whether or not they were safe for celiacs or not. Our server was great and told me that he marks “Celiac” and “Be very careful” on the order so the kitchen knows. I ordered the pan-seared scallops and they were wonderful. The food and service was great and I felt very safe and had no problems so it’s a win win! Highly recommend eating here!

Nice setting along Main Street. Several options, clearly marked, on the menu. Well presented. I had the yellow fin appetizer and duck confit risotto main and both were wonderful. One (canned) GF beer on offer along with a couple of ciders and cocktails. Can be busy; plan ahead.
