Marriner’s - Camden

I was like hey, how is your fish and chip. waiter said they won't regret and I didn't. it turned my week in maine after earlier evil. the teig is perfect and oh young, the service is top notch. I wish I were here first. best is the price for a seat very reasonable. we have wiped our table. that can wait first a few minutes yo get a table but not get hangry. we also have a mussel knower and it is honestly very tasty. I think it's all butter. reasons we don't eat all the time, but definitiw on vacation. this is a large casual place for local and tourist alike.

If they can sit on the rear deck, there is a beautiful view of the water with a waterfall, I would recommend to go once for the sake of clarity. the service was not good. the food was average. good blueberry pancake truthahnsalat. great bacon eggs. The shell-khowder was just fine. it was a thin-framed broth with kartoffels a pretty good portion mush. I'm glad we went out for them, but I felt like we were on the way. .no hallo when we're there, no farewell when we left and not thank you. this was not just a hired, no one who worked there, expanded any common courtesy.

Hubby and I stopped here on our way home on the last day of our trip. Because we usually come through Camden during the summer when the shops and restaurants are super-busy and full, we had never stopped here. But it being April we actually found parking on the street and decided to give Mariner's a try. I have been on a mission to find the perfect' clam chowder and have been disappointed everywhere I order it. It's either too thin or too thick, too bland or too salty, too skimpy on clams or worse, the clams are like rubber. So it was with great skepticism that I ordered a bowl, not expecting much. It was absolutely delicious, chock full of tender clams and potatoes in a savory broth full of flavor and aroma. It was hands down the best I've ever had and I am still talking about it. Hubby had the steak sub and it was enormous and tasty. Prices were very reasonable compared to other restaurants we had been to on our trip. We saw other items on the menu we can't wait to try when we return in the summer. We will most definitely be back.

The waitress completely ignored my group of 3 (including myself) from the moment we walked in. We were not greeted for 10 minutes, which would be fine normally, but our server actually walked away from us mid sentence with *no explanation* while she was taking our order to refill someone else’s coffee! And took other orders while she was gone! I honestly couldn’t believe it. The worst experience I have had from a server and I work in customer service myself.

I stopped here with my family when it was waiting in another restaurant too long. they filled the picky 4 years old and the adults all really liked their lunch. the lobster roll has a lot of grief in it, the burger was excellent and so was the cod! the view of the back deck is beautiful. great place to stop for some local food in a charming city.
