Such a sweet place! We were looking for somewhere to eat before catching a show at the Waldo (also lovely). We're from an hour south and weren't sure what would be open in the dead of winter - what a pleasant surprise! The decor is really cute and thoughtful - it's clear that there's a lot of personal flair. The service was attentive and welcoming. The menu was the perfect size with the emphasis on fresh veg and proteins. Plenty of options for folks with different tastes. Both of our dishes were spot-on: The pasta with lobster tail was cooked perfectly (seriously - it might be a simple dish, but cooks know how hard it is to get the balance right), and the salmon burger was freshly made - with a lovely side of pickled fruit and veg that paired SO WELL with the earthy salmon. Again, dead of winter. The prices are a little spendy, but whatever. This isn't Moody's. The complimentary fresh flatbread and bean spread we were served prior to our meal ALONE would have been a $10 appetizer in Portland, and the wine list was very reasonable. Honestly, just a really cute place with lovely food and follks - worth the drive for dinner and a movie if you are looking for something special. Classy food, unpretentious environment. Try it!

We are local and heard of this spot by word of mouth, finally tried it and we’re not disappointed! Great atmosphere! The waitstaff were kind and professional, and the food was fantastic! Instead of bread and butter, they served naan-style flatbreads with a delicious hummus. We had the Argentinian Churrasco special which was *perfect.* our waiter made me a mocktail even though it wasn’t on the menu. We will most certainly be back!!

Thank you Chef Chris for delighting us with such a memorable menu for New Year's Eve -starting with the ceviche, which was sublime with subtle flavors, and continuing with the steak and seafood cooked with such attention and savored with every bite. The mushroom risotto was such a hit for us as well. To top off the experience were delicious salads and desserts! We are fortunate to have such talent within our reach. We have just moved to the area from the NYC area and have spent many evenings here -it has such a warm, cozy and inviting atmosphere. Everyone here -Chris, Abby, Greg, Linda -makes you feel like you're part of the family. It truly is top notch food, atmosphere, and service. -Lucy and family Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Ann's Book Bistro catered an event that we hosted last night. They delivered food promptly and set everything up with labels and lovely presentation. The food was delicious! People raved about the naan bread with dipping sauce, curried meatballs, charcuterie boards, garlic shrimp, blueberry cheesecake, and more. There was nothing left, not even crumbs. Thanks Abby and team, for making our event extra special!! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Just dropped in for a glass of wine. It happened to be Happy Hour and got the best Tapas of my life. For free! You have to check this place out. Started with a quail omelet on a bean plus base. Then the best bisque ever. Seafood with good chunks and flavor I have never had any where. I was getting ready to go and had a second glass of red selected by the owners. So they gave me third tapas of rolled fish. Can’t beat it. Ann’s Book Bistro! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Incredible Spanish inspired restaurant and perfect date night spot! We live in NYC and have seen our fair share of high end spots and Ann’s exceeded our expectations. We loved the cozy vibe, there was even live Spanish guitar music when we dined on a Friday night. We enjoyed the wild salmon fish special, lobster fettuccine and a grande Caesar salad. Everything was delicious, especially the fettuccine. Highly recommend for a unique Midcoast culinary experience! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Had heard about this amazing place from a friend. Was quite curious as the incredible experience was so much more than my expectations. First was the ambiance. Just so quaint and unassuming. Next our amazing server. Chauncey. He was very knowledgeable and courteous. Explained everything and gave us a history of this great spot. Making even more appealing. And then our food was served. Perfection is an understatement. We will be back and have told friends about Ann’s Book Bistro. Thank you.
