Made it down to Riverhouse Maine taco night last Thursday and I highly recommend it! Chef Angelo is a master of favor. Me, my wife and son shared the beef nachos topped with jalapeno, fresh guacamole, beans and cotija cheese. Got a delicious mescal cocktail that was perfectly balanced. The space was warm and full of energy much like the amazing manager Paolo who went above and beyond to make sure we were taking care of!! Highly recommend Riverhouse Maine!

We came sorta close to closing but the staff and food was so great and delicious. They made sure we had everything we needed and were very accommodating! Wonderful seating and great at getting people in and out.

A refined restaurant with a great vibe. The food was fresh and great! A small but excellent wine selection. We will definitely be back!

Had a lovely time here while on vacation recently!
Being pregnant and predominantly pescatarian, I was comforted by the several options available suitable for pregnant women. That said, the restaurant was out of at least one option I was interested in (the mushroom app), and I learned I couldn’t eat the cheeses featured in the dishes as they’re unpasteurized. If I weren’t pregnant, I know I would have loved to have had the cheese!!! Looked amazing. The chef was accommodating towards my situation and left the cheese out of the tomato salad that came with my salmon, so I was really grateful for that.
The shining star of the evening was my zero proof cocktail The Layover. Hands down, the best NA cocktail I’ve ever had (and I’ve tried MANY). It had dimension, flavor, and most importantly, it had BITE. That’s so hard to find in a zero proof cocktail. So thank you thank you thank you for making an amazing option for those who can’t imbibe! I also tried the Ravenscourt Park mocktail but it didn’t hold a candle to The Layover.
Second shining star of the night was the soup of the day which was banana pepper! I was skeptical, but man in was tasty. It was buttery, rich, and had a bright pepper taste. So fantastic.
The rest of the table enjoyed the swordfish belly special, and everyone thought the smash burger was delicious.
Highly recommend and will go back!

Nichole F. Was our primary waitress and she was very attentive and friendly! The other waitress (I didn’t catch her name) also assisted us and was very helpful. The oysters were delicious! The tuna was phenomenal and well paired with the green onions and sauce. The halibut was also very delicious! The hard cider was unfortunately sour and I was surprised by this. Thank you!!

Excellent from start to finish! My husband and I popped in for drinks and apps on Thursday night before heading down the street for dinner. Had we not had reservations with our extended family, we certainly would have happily stayed at The River House.
Our server was super friendly, efficient and informative. Our drinks were both fantastic and both the mussels appetizer and the tomato appetizer were not only delicious, but so fresh and flavorful.
We made it a point to go back the very next evening to celebrate our 16th wedding anniversary!
We happily sat at the bar where John served us creative top notch drinks. Our entire meal was delicious, but the miso squash was so amazing that we had to order it again as a side to go with our bluefin tuna and steak!
We’ve eaten at fantastic restaurants in Boston, San Francisco, Portland OR, and beyond, and this was right up there with the best of them. We will definitely be going back to The River House next time we are in town!

This is my favorite place in Damariscotta Maine, the chef John is so good and uses only fresh ingredients at all time, in fact after having dinner here last night we are now having brunch for the first time, the next day! We are so happy that we have the chance to come. The food is delicious and the service is amazing! Also you can get fresh squeezed orange juice you can’t beat that.

Our first time eating at the River House. Really lovely atmosphere, super wait staff. The food was, honestly disappointing. While ingredients were very fresh, everything had a watery quality to it – both in taste and texture.

While staying in Boothbay Harbor, we decided to make the drive up to Damariscotta for dinner at the River House and everything was fantastic! The views from inside the dining room were picturesque, atmosphere was very relaxed, drinks were great, and dinner was delicious, and very well prepared. Staff and service were excellent and really made for a great evening!!

Fabulous food cooked over an open flame wood stove. High end food like the scallops we got last night, but also the best cheeseburger I have ever had. You can feel the personal touch and care they take with the food and customers.
