Sorry lobster fanatics, we will not be serving it at our wedding. Lucky for you, there are a ton of seafood and lobster shacks along route 1 (Famously Reds) and in the surrounding area (Claws, Mcloons etc.). Below are some other options: Rock City Cafe: for you early risers and/or coffee fiends. Scrumptious breakfast and lunch sandwiches and brew since 1992. Primo: 2013 James Beard award winner, female owned and operated farm to table restaurant with the majority of its food coming from the 4.5 acre farm on site. Long Grain: Delicious Thai restaurant located in Camden Maine! We highly recommend the Spicy Night Market Noodle! Adas: Enjoy homemade pasta and pizza and great cocktails in the heart of downtown Rockland.
