Reviews for The Contented Sole in New Harbor, ME

Great sunset views of the Pemaquid River and a really wonderful menu too. I'm especially fond of the fish tacos and the Poke... bowl, but I've loved everything I've had on their menu. Place is popular,.so you'll probably want to reserve a table and bringa little bit of patience. No one can get enough servers and so the service can be a little slow at times. Take a breath, relaxand soak in your surroundings, you'll be happy you did. Read more

Amazing location and view with good casual food like fish tacos, cheeseburgers, lobster BLT, pizzas. Casual dock side vibe in... an old cannery building. Pier dining as well as inside for inclement days. Read more

Great view. Very nice staff. Food was good. Good beer on tap. $25.95 for probably a dozen very small fried clams is overpriced.... Fish tacos were okay. Lobster and artichoke dip was good. Read more

My husband and I operated a Waldoboro B&B for years. We didn't get out much. Our friends who operated a vintage diner in... Gardiner had been visiting and posting about The Contented Sole for the past few summers. We tend to follow theirrecommendations. However,we couldn't get reservations with our limited days off until now! We were so fortunate to get theperfect table when my 94 year old Mom visited us recently. Our server was energetic and the hostess is so very accommodating anddown to earth. We could NOT have asked for a better night out with our party of 5. Mom who traveled up from her assisted livingcampus in Florida, was treated to a table with a Maine sunset like the ones she loved when she lived here. She was amazed by theplentiful salad and the lobster roll was the best. My brother loved the blackend Brussel sprouts and prosciutto pizza. Myhusband devoured the tender juicy Korean BBQ Chicken like a starving cave man. My fish tacos were light and I loved the flavorswith the sweet soft corn tortillas. I was happy that our server was able to help me decide between the tacos and the BBQ. Thetacos were a nice light dinner and I didn't have to take anything home for later. Even my mom cleaned her plate!!! Read more

Great food and great service!! The lobster roll was fantastic, if you like Brussel sprouts they are a must have, also the dirty... fries for an appetizer. Read more

This restaurant has the best atmosphere! Don't miss the pizza. It was a highlight. We had reservations and at out on the dock.... Absolutely gorgeous. Read more

Stopped in to have a lunch before heading out to see the Atlantic Puffins on a cruise. This restaurant is right on the water.... You can watch all the boat traffic as you enjoy your meal. Family friendly with a great menu. They have seating indoors and out.The fish tacos were amazing. A must to get the locally grown oysters. So delicious. Read more

Sadly Discontented. We loved our experience during the Summer 2020 but sadly we were very disappointed last night. What a change... from one year to the next! The view remains lovely and the high point. Unfortunately Food and service were poor. First courseoysters were served without napkins, share plates or silverware. We went inside to fetch our own. Oysters were dirty and gritty,far from delicious. Margarita pizza had sliced tomatoes on top, no sauce. The fish tacos we enjoyed last year, this year weredry and tasteless. Maybe it was just a down evening for them. I hope our experience was an anomaly and not a downward trend. Read more
