Primo is one of our favorite places, we have been coming the past two summers from Massachusetts specifically to dine at primo, this summer we made it our weekend dining place for dinners and grabbed a late lunch on Sunday for their live music and small plate offerings which we hadn’t been able to go to before. For dinner We shared a couple apps and a pasta to start and tried a few entrees during both our visits. We love the experience of a more laid back fine dining experience with high quality food. They grow everything that is served and that alone is impressive and a labor of love/passion which makes it worth every penny. Service is always exceptional we had Dunkan the first couples of t...
Sadly, this was the worst meal comparing the food and experience to the price of our two week trip in Maine, PEI, and Nova Scotia. At the start of our trip we were dining at Primo with locals from Camden who had been here a year or so ago. We had 5:30 reservations and arrived early to have a drink at the bar. That turned into a fiasco since it appears the then empty bar wasn 't for having a drink. It was for someone who may want to dine at the bar. We were directed to the outdoor bar which was a seating area with rap music playing when we arrived. They served FROZEN drinks and beer. We fled and strolled the grounds which were a pastiche of vegetable gardens, a pollinator garden, and a sad li...
I am on the fence with our experience. It was a great meal, the atmosphere was ok and over all we had a good time. We ordered the scialatelli with lobster, but I have the impression that it was more like bucatini. It was thick pasta, didn’t taste great and the sauce was watery not creamy. The soft shell crab was good, so were the squash blossoms, best dish over all was the branzino, which I believe is not a local Maine fish. There was no Somm on our visit and the waiter helped us with our wine selection, at the end he encouraged us to choose to our liking, considering the prices, we would have preferred a more professional advisory. Cheese platter and dessert were good, would have appreciate...
Our previous experience with Primo had always been hopeful and full of mystique, since this restaurant holds high esteem among those of us who live here in Maine. We finally made it here, but it was as photographers with a wedding. We notice things like ambiance and lighting and how people behave behind the scenes. It was all good at Primo. There were just the right number of candles to light the space well, but still have cozy vibes. We we served the same delicious food that the guests we served. It was an honest and cared for experience, and we were just the ones working the event. That has to say really good things for the guests experience too.

Loved our meal at Primo. Usually booked up weeks in advance, we were luckily able to walk in and snag bar seats with just a 15 minute wait. That gave us time to walk around the ground and enjoy the many gardens and duck pond while enjoying a cocktail from the 0km outdoor bar. The meal ended up being fantastic and we enjoyed a wine pairing recommended by the sommelier. The service was on point making for an elevated experience all around.
Primo is an absolutely beautiful location. The food is so fresh, perfectly prepared and we love that most of the food is grown on site. We were in awe of the unique flavor combinations on the dishes. All the staff we interacted with were just lovely, our waiters Paula and Justin were very attentive, friendly and gave great recommendations, they really knew the menu. We will definitely be back.
Went for the oyster Sunday afternoon. It was an absolutely beautiful afternoon of amazing drinks and food, fantastic oysters, and a menu of small plates that blew us away. Unique and delicious...grilled fig toast with goat cheese and bacon ridiculous, pork slider with peach chutney, amazing complex yet simple. So. Many. Flavors. Cheers Primo, and thanks!
Came here after seeing the restaurant on No Reservations. It was the ideal restaurant for our honeymoon. Drove up from Portland, Me and it was well worth it. Entrees, appetizers and desserts were fantastic. The Pork Chop was the best Pork Chop I've ever had in my life. My wife ordered the steak and it was phenomenal as well.

A great culinary experience! Not shown the pizza “appetizer” is large and definitely for a table of six to share but also was extremely excellent. Everything was excellent to the last bite.
After 20 years of visits, not one disappointing meal. Great service. Comfortable atmosphere and consistently amazing food.
