"This was my first experience with a five course "blind tasting". How wonderful to just relax and let someone else decide what I was eating! Every course was a surprise in and of itself. A surprise because you didn't know what was coming next and also because you couldn't believe how wonderful it all tasted! It was our 20th anniversary and the ambience was spectacular (dimly lit enough to be romantic and lit enough to appreciate the visual beauty of everything being served). As we were also staying at the hotel (Camden Harbour Inn) in which the restaurant resides, we also experienced breakfast at Natalie's for two mornings. The service, food and overall experienc was perfection at both meals!"

"Went here for a later dinner. The service was absolutely amazing, and had every whim catered to. The food was spectacular and the wine pairing was brilliant. I had allergies and the food and wine pairing was changed to fit my needs. I had an unforgettable time and will be going here again soon!!"

"There are restaurants and there is Natalie's. A celebration of taste, flavors and extraordinary service. Dinner at Natalie's should be on the list of every foodie in America. The restaurant lived up to its reputation and higher price point, something you rarely see in resort destinations."

"I called earlier in the week and asked for a nine or ten course tasting menu. We got a fantastic ten-course tasting menu. All of them were excellent. We can't recommend this restaurant strongly enough. The service was excellent as well."

"Ordered prix fixe 3 course meal ($68). The chef sends out lots of goodies in between courses that really make the dining special. I am a hearty eater and walked out full, which might not have been the case without the chef's gifts. Waitstaff was neither absent nor doting, but could have watched the tables and had better info from the kitchen. Also, with food at a gourmet caliber, I like the staff to tell me about what I am eating and where it comes from, especially if I ask. The foie gras with quail egg was dry. The bronzino was excellent. Ginger souffle with homemade maple ice cream exceptional. It was all very good, but just a little bit was missing from the service and food quality that might have made the dining exceptional"

It's obvious to everyone the Chef works very hard to serve and please. Outstanding food. Altho small plates. The muse buche were really Very Good, tho, and fun. Excellent bar, excellant bartender. My wife The Best champagne cocktail she's ever had, and he used a Prosecco. I had an Oban scotch after dinner. Very nice."

"This exquisite restaurant was, indeed, a total surprise for us. We never expected to find such exceptional food and service in the picturesque town of Camden. We will fight another snow storm to reach this ideal spot with its friendly and welcoming community in order to sample, once again,this true gem of a restaurant."
