Water Street Tavern and Inn - Inn in Lubec - 12 N Water St, USA

This was one of our favorite stays on our trip to Maine! Everything in the room was fresh and clean and the owners were so nice and accommodating. The inn is so well kept and the restaurant was absolutely delicious! It was the best meal we had on our week long trip! The location is perfect and beautiful. Adorable little town with a lot of charm. We would not stay anywhere else on our next visit!

I enjoyed 2 delicious dinners here- salmon the first night and scallops the second night. Both were fresh, nicely flavored, and perfectly cooked! I sat outside close to the water and enjoyed the view of Campabello Island, as well as watching some seals nearby. A wonderful dining experience with friendly and attentive staff!

We stayed the night and loved it! Jim and Judy were very friendly and accommodating. We had a room and bathroom that was beautifully decorated and very clean. The shared livingroom was spacious and comfy and had a beautiful view of the bay. The bed was comfy and linens were crisp and clean. In the morning, we had fresh out of the oven homemade muffins and delicious coffee. We will definitely stay here again. The two other couples that were staying the same time as us said they loved their stay and would be back as well. Thank you for the wonderful stay Jim and Judy. Karen and Joe

My boyfriend and I stayed at the inn for two nights and ate dinner here one night. The rooms were clean, great location in downtown Lubec, and super fun to watch seals in the harbor from the common room. The dinner we had was one of the highlights of our trip - great service from a waiter who very graciously showed us how to eat a lobster. Everything we ate was delicious - I highly recommend dining here and if you can-staying a while!

8/24/23 Ate at the restaurant on our second to last night in Lubec. We sat at the bar for our dinner and met fantastic people! The bartender was super and the food was amazing 🤩 I made a reservation for our last night before we paid the bill! 8/25/23..second night’s dinner was just as phenomenal! We had a table this time, our waiter was probably the best waiter we have ever had 😊 My blackened haddock (last night was salmon with blueberries) had the perfect bite and my boyfriend said his filet mignon cut like butter. The bite I took of his strawberry rhubarb pie was a taste of heaven. I plan on trips to Lubec being a yearly thing and will definitely make sure we make reservations for multiple evenings!

We didn't stay, but we did have ALL our dinners here. Jim & Judy were superb and charming hosts, and Larry & Bill at the bar had us laughing between sips and bites. Great food and a nice variety on the menu that changes the first of the month. We just couldn't get enough, so we kept going back for all our dinners. This place is clearly the social center in town, and tourists are treated like locals.

I have been making an annual "pilgramage" to Maine's Bold Coast for over 20 years and have stayed and dined at the Waterstreet Tavern & Inn since it opened in 2010. To say that Jim & Judy are superb hosts is an understatement. The comfortable rooms at the Inn reflect their attention to detail and the restaurant, well the restaurant is the "piece de resistance" - great menu and atmosphere and food that is to die for - always the highlight of my trip to Maine! For single travelers like myself (and couples for that matter), the bar is THE place to have dinner, drinks and great conversation with an eclectic mix of locals and "tourists" alike.

I didn’t give one star because I can’t speak to the food or the service beyond the rude reception my fiancé and I encountered when we went in to see about having a drink at the bar. The older gentleman said curtly “we don’t do that here. You’ll have to go across the street for that.” The next day we were talking to a woman we met about it and she had the same experience with the same man with the same snooty attitude. Don’t get me wrong, I am not entitled and if they don’t let people come in solely to spend money at the bar, that’s fine. But be polite and considerate about it. We’re from Maine and will be back to visit Lubec but we will not be entering the tavern again.
