We loved this place. My husband and I treated ourselves to a nice dinner while we were in Camden, and Peter Ott's was perfect. The entire meal for 2, including salads, bread, wine, desert was just over $100. We live outside of Boston and were expecting it to be over $200! This was a treat! It's been awhile since we've... more

Sorry, but this is not my cup of tea. I hear the bar scene is decent for those under 35, but the food is not good. My last meal there was a real disaster. I ordered venison chops and got 2 small tasteless chops. There were four of us and everyone thought their meal was boring and tasteless. A few... more

At Peter Ott's we are willing to accept criticism and take bad reviews in stride and to heart. As relatively new owners, now entering our third year, we are eager to address any areas in which customers have found us lacking. This particular review, however, gave us pause. We have not served venison in over a year and a half...

Recommended by a local who was walking past. Good salad bar, awesome macadamia-crusted halibut with roasted brussel sprouts (yum!), and an awesome brownie sundae. more

We enjoyed Peter Ott's so much we ate there a 2nd night. The food was outstanding and the salad bar one of the best I have ever had. We highly recommend this restaurant. more

We stopped for a small dinner after busy day. The appetizers were a bit overcooked. I tried the crabcake appetizer, which tasted fine - but had a noticeably strong ammonia odor. I stopped eating them and sent them back. While the server told us they were fresh made and did offer to "comp" us a dessert or replace them with... more

Somehow I think it was the price that drew the negative reviews. Never had a bad meal here and the atmosphere is fine. The wait staff and food are superb. My wife says this is one of her favorite restaurants in Maine. I happen to agree, but it's not for the feint at heart when it comes to prices. Hey,... more
