Dennett's at the Wharf

We waited until our last day in Castine to have lunch on the Wharf. Food was excellent; however, the service was the worst I have had in my 59 years. If the wait staff is new, then someone needs to train them. We had to get our own water refill, I questioned my gluten free lobster roll, as it was supposed to be warm, and it was cold. I ate it and luckily it was gluten free, as I have Celiacs and it's important. Waiter absolutely never came back to the table to refill water, ask if we wanted more drinks, nothing. He came back at the end of our meal and asked if we wanted water, but a bit too late buddy. Train your wait staff to not stand around looking at their phones and ignoring their job of waiting tables.

The food was decent but our wait staff was TERRIBLE. Never checked to refill drinks, didn't see if we needed anything else, and messed up our order which usually makes me give grace but we had someone with Celiac's that we needed to be absolutely certain had the right meal. They definitely need more training. The kitchen staff bringing the actual food out did better than the wait staff. Put a dampener on the meal unfortunately. The fish was good but ask for extra tartar sauce. The lobster dinner and the hot lobster roll were also deemed delicious. Skip the chowders, they were pretty plain and the corn one tasted a little old and burnt despite the fire roasted label. Also, sit out on the balcony if you're able for a great view! Edit: Owner replied it was the young man's first week. I get it, I do but also having some respect to not sit on your phone, work on checking in with your table, etc. There were other staff doing his job. I am sure he will get better and just needs to shadow some of those who were doing their best. Rarely do we not leave a tip, but we felt we had no other choice when he didn't do much. Honestly I would have tipped the kitchen staff if anything.
