Enjoyed a lovely dinner after a leisurely stroll from the Spouter Inn. Our waitress was unbelievably distracted by a large party of elderly gentlemen at the table behind us and we wait Ed nearly a half hour for a glass of water. She was charmingly apologetic and in truth the place was swamped with early diners. Food was very good,... More

My wife and I have eaten at Chez Michelle several times. The food is consistently good and reasonably priced. Our last visit was around 4 pm and there were few other customers. The waitress was and service was timely. Our only complaint was that the tuxedo cream brulee was not available that visit.

We were in the Camden area for only 4 days and we went to this terrific restaurant twice for dinner! We were there during its annual closing week, and it was extremely busy and a bit noisy as the loyal local patrons bid farewell to Chez Michel's for another year. I don't blame them--I wish we had a place half... More

Good dinner. Had the haddock Oscar with lobster which was an interesting take on the preparation and the fish was well cooked. Boyfriend had the scallops and said they were well done. Restaurant was clean but a bit noisy. Enjoyed it.

Nothing 'wrong' happened. The food wasn't particularly noteworthy, nor was the service. Sorta a blah place.

I first had dinner at Chez Michel sometime in the eighties when the place first opened. The food features fresh local ingredients with a French accent and the chef is still magnificent. The brightly polished tables and stained glass decorations set a tone for good dining and great company. There is a delightful bar upstairs with a dozen or so... More

We had unsuccessfully sought out a restaurant about 50 miles from Chez Michel and were seeking just a place to have lobster when we spotted the sign. We pulled into the parking lot and went in where we were greeted and seated by very friendly people. One look at the specials on the chalk board and I knew we had... More

This restaurant was reccommended to us and although the food was good the service was lacking. Our waitress was easily distracted by her beeper. I would try it again but I wasn't wowed.

Service was friendly and fast. Menu items were typical of a seaside restaurant in coastal Maine, NOT a French Bistro, so don't be fooled by the name. I had baked stuffed lobster at a very reasonable price.
