I enjoyed the outdoor seating, server was great. We ordered a bowl of mussels to split, very good and fish and chips to split, the fish and chips not my favorite, nice piece of fish but the batter tasted like curry. I asked the server and she said none. Just was distracting flavor what ever it was, with the fish.

Everything was excellent! Loved the moqueca and lamb ragú. Even accommodated our two young kids with chicken fingers and butter noodles. Highly recommend.

In fairness to Fresh & Co., our dining experience at a competing establishment the night before was outstanding! It was a 5-star dining experience all the way. It would be a tough act to follow no matter where we went to eat. With that in mind, I feel I'm being very fair with a 4-star rating. It was good, but it could have been better. In fact, I would be giving them a 3.8 or 3.7 if that were an option. A 5-star rating may be within their reach, but they're not there yet in my book. The location is excellent. Downtown Camden, steps from the waterfront. Check. We made 5 o'clock reservations, as the website suggested we do if we were hoping for outdoor, upper deck seating--to take in the view. That option is weather-dependent, of course--and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Unfortunately, rain was in the forecast that night. For making those reservation instructions clear and easy to understand: Check. So, we chose two seats at the bar. The bar was relatively small--there was room for ten or maybe twelve patrons--but the chairs were not crammed close together, making everyone feel cramped and crowded. Check. The bartender was clearly very experienced and friendly and she made a great Vodka Martini (very dry with a twist). Check. We started with the clam dip appetizer. It was good but could have been better. It was nothing like the clam dip that used to be very common in New England when I was growing up. I don't fault them for that, but I do fault them for having very little clam in the clam dip. Boo. Then, we both ordered the Duck. I know, boring, right? While we both like Duck, and the description of the accompanying root vegetable medley was intriguing, we couldn't help but wonder why nothing else on the menu was appealing. We *never* order the same thing (so we can try one another's dish). And, why was the seafood selection so limited -- just one item if memory serves They're in Camden, Maine--steps from the harbor. Boo. She loved everything about the dish, but I only enjoyed the Duck--I didn't care for the root vegetables. We were both too full to finish our entrees, so we left with ample leftovers. We'll go with a 'Check.' The 'Checks' outpace the 'Boos' 5 to 2. That's a 4-star rating in my book. Note: As the name implies, this is a farm (and boat) to table oriented place. The menu changes frequently.

We sat at the bar and had excellent service and great local conversations. The happy hour menu hit the spot with Mac and cheese and Korean wings. Dinner was delicious with a burger and mouth watering pork belly.

Nice spot in the Camden area. We went for dinner and were met with a great atmosphere, and great service, but had some mixed reviews on the food. To start, we ordered the $6 bread (which I thought was rediculous to charge for). I would not recommend (tasteless/cheap). Then for dinner we tried a variety of dishes. The lamb shank was spectacular, the lobster ravioli was great (very unique - more like an Asian style), but the vodka rigatoni and the chicken were just OK. We then finished the meal with some tiramisu which was really good, but didn't really taste like tiramisu. The atmosphere was very nice, with an open kitchen and a relaxed environment (not too bustling), however, I had a vent blowing directly into my face for the entire meal, so that wasn't great. Our waitress was very nice and accommodating. We will be back again!
