   Service was slow. Wait staff is inexperienced and need training that is at level for the price of food and beverages. If you are asking a premium $$$ then service needs to be commiserated with that. Example cocktails should be served together, not drinks delivered one at a time 5min apart. The quality of the food was good but we were there for 2.5 hours to complete our evening. It was very noisy and cold and difficult to hold a conversation.

   We had a wonderful experience dining at front and main! Our server was Reana, was very helpful as was the food runner Martina. They gave us great recommendations! The trout was excellent, and the salmon was amazing! We will be back to taste the ribeye next! Highly recommend front and main as your next eat!

   Good, interesting food and attentive service in an attractive space. We do not live close to Waterville, but will return.

   Outstanding food and service. Management was very accommodating in arranging reservations for large tables while our group was in town for an event. Would definitely come back again.

   Very calming, yet lively energy. Incredibly comfortable seating and a beautiful dining atmosphere. Delightfully helpful and kind staff. Divinely delicious cocktails, entrées, and desserts. Every food item ordered was cooked to perfection.

   Food very underwhelming, poorly seasoned. Overpriced. Gave it a second try and I will not go back. Too bad, the space is very nice, but food doesn’t hold up

   Fine dining this is not. Everything was adequate. Service was indifferent. Our waitress was nice, but slow. Food delivery was slow but not terrible. Food temperature was so-so. Nothing worth complaining about, but we won't be back. It was pricey considering the quality of the meal.

    The dinner was excellent as prepared however the portions are sparce. Excellent short rib, tender and seasoned moderately, vegetable portions were slightly less than a spoonful of broccoli, and two slivers of potato, two slivers of carrots? High prices, great quality very sparce portions.
