Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Front & Main offers a delightful dining experience with "excellent service," a "diverse menu," and "beautifully presented" dishes. The ambiance is inviting and perfect for pre-show dinners at the nearby Opera House. While some find it a bit pricey, the "generous portions" and a unique selection of wines make it a must-visit.

Rating: ★★★★★ I recently had the pleasure of dining at Front & Main, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The entire wait staff provided fantastic service, ensuring we felt welcomed and well taken care of throughout our meal. What truly impressed me was their commitment to accommodating food allergies. I have a nut allergy, and the staff took exceptional care to inform me of which dishes were safe. They even prepared my meal with extra precautions to avoid cross-contamination, making me feel completely at ease. In summary, Front & Main is a must-visit for anyone looking for fantastic food and impeccable service, especially for those with dietary restrictions. I can't wait to return!

An overall wonderful experience! Innovative drink options, as well as the classics, very well prepared. Always an amazing choice for apps, main and dessert. Food was beautifully presented and delicious! Our waitress was THE best! Super organized, friendly and attentive without hovering! Seating is very comfortable in the main dining room. The bar looks sumptuous but I haven’t been in yet. Even the restrooms are lovely! Highly recommend Front & Main! Thank you for a great evening!

Another great meal, the ribeye was cooked to perfection. As a special treat the chef brought my son’s desert out, made him feel pretty special! We really appreciate Front and main and their amazing staff!

Excellent food, but on the pricy side for rank and file citizens of Waterville area. However, portions were generous, so dessert was shareable! Love the Bernard Langlais art on the walls.

Very nice, friendly wait staff. My crispy chicken (and my companion's Mac and cheese) was delicious. The biscuit was dense and dry though, I was looking forward to a nice flaky biscuit. Overall a bit overpriced.
