The Patio at 1578

My (now) husband and I had our rehearsal dinner at The Patio at 1578. I couldn't have asked for a better rehearsal dinner. Everything was absolutely perfect. Mark and Kim worked with us to create a wonderful family-style Italian feast for our around 30 guests. We arrived around 5:30 and started off with delicious cocktails. We had 3 hors d'oeuvres (bruschetta, lamb chops, and arancini) which were all delectable and served on trays. The main course was a summer salad, bread, and three family-style dishes: tagliatelle bolognese, risotto milanese with shrimp, and fettuccini carbonara. For dessert we had a fruit preserve filled ice cream coated in chocolate. Mark and Kim were so accommodating to those with special dietary restrictions. It was the perfect menu for us, the perfect atmosphere, and the perfect evening. I can't wait to go back for more of their delicious food and excellent service! Thanks so much Mark & Kim!

This is such a lovely and welcoming place and the food is incredible, and also amazing service and amazing views of the ocean. 5 stars all around, will definitely come back next time we are in the area!

Kim and Mark do an incredible job here. Fantastic view, great patio, and stellar food. Full bar is a plus. At $40/person, the set menu did not leave us wanting. Good sized portions, great variety of local flavors, and wow did that raspberry chocolate mousse impress!

A very special meal that captures all of what I love about coming up to Maine. A low-key family-run restaurant with a beautiful view of the water. Phenomenal kaleidoscope of flavors cooked up with fresh ingredients. Open just a few nights a week with set menu; meal begins promptly at 6. Call ahead to find out the chef has ready for you.

An absolutely lovely evening in every way! The patio has a lovely view over the bay. The owners could not be any friendlier, fun, and helpful. The food was delicious! Well portioned, light and tasty! Our five course meal included house made smoked salmon crostini, steak and quail egg with chimichurri, caprese, halibut francaise with potatoes and salad, and unbelievably great creme brûlée. We had good cocktails and wine. And just relaxed! Would love to go back!

A perfect way to experience the foods, views and people that make Pemaquid special. Can’t wait to come back.

Intimate dining yet COVID aware. Some of the other patrons may be clueless, but Mark and Kim are on top of things. If you go, please don't be a Karen, and everyone will have a wonderful experience.

The private home atmosphere and personal attention to each table combined with excellent food makes the Patio at 1578 our #1 favorite restaurant for special guests and occasions.

We have enjoyed many meals and get-together here. Great food exceptional service, million dollar view all at a very reasonable price.
