The Last Unicorn - Waterville

Best food in the state! fresh ingredients big cook and this is the place to take a special someone. the price reflects the taste and service. orte like these are really the last unicorns! many thanks for a wonderful experience

One of my favorite restaurants in the state. eating is always delicious, I was never disappointed with everything I ordered. large set menu with extensive daily specialties. everything is seasonal and fresh. excellent cocktails and wine/beer selection, among them friendly staff and great atmosphere. we always take visitors here and they loved it all. an absolute jewel!

Never thought that a small town in Maine would be home to such an amazing restaurant! Not only is the food delicious, the menu is so well rounded with foods both traditional and unexpected, we would have liked to taste everything on the menu if we could eat so much. The stuffed poblano was succulent, the potato pierogi the best we have ever had (and we have had pierogi in authentic Polish restaurants before). The short ribs were falling off the bone, with creamy mashed potatoes, the chicken wings fingerlicking good. All dishes we tried were very flavorful and perfectly seasoned. After eating like kings, what topped everything was the unbelievable cheesecake with pecan praline. The creaminess and flavor of the cheesecake has me now searching for a similar taste bud experience since, but nothing compares even here in my home city of New York! The food quality and menu are only matched by the friendliness and professionalism of the staff, in particular our host and waiter Paul. He took time to explain the items on the menu and detail, had interesting conversation with us about Waterville and beyond, and was a pleasure to interact with. Another big plus is that the Last Unicorn is located at a convenient location on a beautiful plaza with outdoor seating in the spring and summer, where we had the pleasure to dine last summer with an equally enjoyable experience; even though, even if at a different location, we would go out of our way to get there. We'll make sure to return every time we are in Maine!

Very fresh, but not the most filling. If you have a big appetite, hit the buffet elsewhere. However, you will enjoy some tasty bites here! Great spot for a downtown date. I love the restaurant theme. Good street views. Friendly staff.

This will be a bit longer review than done of my others, in part because there was a lot going on the evening we were there. First the food. It was very good. The cheese dip with bacon, amazing. We had the seared tuna excellent I was told, and crab cakes as a meal; very good but small portion for the money. So the food experience was very good,albeit pricey for Waterville ME. Now the not so good. Simply put, the restaurant was, other than the outdoor dining and social distancing spacing between tables, not following the prescribed pandemic guidelines for service. No servers wore masks, menus were not single use, and were wiped down using the same cloth as other menus, no requirement customers wear masks to their table, paper towels in the bathroom were a standard kitchen roll standing up near the sink, meaning everyone who dried their hands touched it, no contact tracing info taken as far as we could tell. It's hard to point out all this stuff, as the staff was attentive, the chef came out to check on customers (again, without a mask), and the food was good. But we won't go back. We felt uncomfortable. Other may not. I just wanted to point out what our experience was that evening.
