Been going to Maine for years and have driven by Joshua's to and from Wells. That will never happen again. Joshua's is a gem. Very attractive décor and extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff. When it comes to the food...everything is EXCELLENT! From Joshua's homemade breads ( 3 different types were served that night ) to the wonderful entrees: We had... More

My husband and I live in York Maine which is close to Joshua's. We first went there for my husbands birthday with his whole family. Everyone got something different for dinner and they were all WONDERFUL! I can't speak highly enough of the wait staff and the cooks. They all do such a great job there! I would feel comfortable...

I hate to do this but I have to share the secret- Joshua's is a fantastic place to eat. My husband and I have been here at least a half dozen times (we live in Mass) while on vacation in OGT. Most food is made on premises in their garden, salad dressings are homemade, gelato is homemade, drinks are wonderful,... More

Celebrated a birthday dinner at Joshua's this past weekend. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Our server, Tom, did a wonderful job and took care of our every request. One downside: when calling for a reservation, we had asked for a 6:30 reservation, but were told we could only have 5:45. We went to the bar for a drink... More

This was the best restaurant meal I have ever had. I had swordfish and my friend had filet mignon. Both were cooked perfectly. We usually do not have dessert but could not resist the rhubarb cherry pie and creme brulee - heaven. The atmosphere is relaxed and our waiter, Tom, added to our enjoyment by explaining the menu items and... More

This is my Favorite place to eat. I love to sit at the bar with my boyfriend. Any place is GREAT. The drinks are all made wonderfully. If you are not sure which wine just ask they are happy to help you. I love the rosemary/steak app. The haddock is wonderful. My boyfriend hates vegetables. But it seems like he... More

On the recommendation of our B&B hosts in Ogunquit, Linda and Dick Wickert at 16 Beach Street, we took the short drive up to Wells. Located in a home built in 1774 Joshua’s has preserved the beauty and charm of the original building while adding the conveniences required of today’s modern restaurant. Our dishes were creative, nicely plated, abundant and... More

Delicious food (I had the Pate for an appetizer and the Roast Duck for my entree.) Both were expertly prepared and absolutely delicious. Our servere was efficient, knew the menu; and was extremly gracious as well.

On a recent trip to the southern shore of Maine we were looking for restaurants, Joshua's was one of several mentioned. When we arrived our reservation was ready and staff was very friendly. Our waitress recommended the mushroom appetizer and it was wonderful, followed by the best halibut I have ever had. While I almost never have dessert we decided... More

We had dinner here for the first time last night and the reviews are spot on for this place. They weren't serving haddock so I ordered a vegetarian dish that was a special and my husband ordered the chicken dish. They were delish!! For dessert I ordered the vanilla creme brûlée and my husband the maple walnut pie. They were... More
