Pondicherry House

Wow! We have been going here for a while but last night truly was the icing on the *creme brulee*. We made very last minute reservations for NYE dinner and was thankful they accommodated us. The place was SUPER busy and despite some NYE chaos, they did an amazing job and the meal was incredible. I am writing this review the following morning and still full. 10/10. Great job everyone!

Whenever we are up in the area - this is our go to! The food is amazing and will accommodate gluten and dairy allergies and the booze comes at you with such thoughtful recommendation. We are so happy that this restaurant is in our neighborhood. And the best playlists for background music - such a great vibe.

What a special place, right here in Bridgton Maine! Christine and Mike are delightful, professional, entertaining owners and hosts. The staff are the BEST. Chef is so talented. Everything on the menu is fabulous. Cocktails are creative and outstanding, wine list is uniquely curated. Lynne and I are sooo happy to have such an exquisite wood fired kitchen and bar so close to home. Thank you Mike and Christine!!

I found this restaurant online and wanted to try it for two reasons, owner operated and great google star reviews. WOW Christine and Mike know absolutely what they are doing! Such an amazing time, great cocktails, wine, local oysters, mussels and the BEST onion bisque. Good job Chef! The next time we're in Maine we will definitely go back....The bar guest Daphne was a hoot, super fun! Thanks Mike for taking such good care of us, keep up the good work!

Found this place after a day on the lake have to say was absolutely blown away. Mike and his wife were extremely friendly as well as their staff. We had amazing food from start to finish from muscles to gumbo and home made spaghetti bolognese. Great mix of flavors and presentation bringing together an unforgettable dining experience. I have been to all the best restaurants in Portland and would say the food here is easily a contender if not better than some of these over hyped spots. 11/10 I will be back soon.

Steak was excellent. Cooked perfectly with a side of sweet (yellow) carrots and a delicious flavor infused mashed potatoes. My only complaint was the carrots, although delicious, weren't cooked soft enough for me.

Very casual restaurant serving fresh food from the sea and land. Sitting at bar, you can seek the preparation of your food & the artistry that goes into making heavenly dishes. We started with fresh oysters, then the watermelon radish salad, salmon with quinoa. Of course we had carrot cake with white cream frosting. Due to my love of traveling, I have eaten in many places, however, this food is delicious!!!!!!!!

Had our first dinner at Pondicherry House and it was wonderful. We sat at the Chef's table and thoroughly enjoyed watching the two talented chefs prepare our dinner. The choreography was a treat to behold. The food was incredible. Best mussels I've had in a very long time and the salmon was done to perfection. My husband's sirloin strip steak was perfectly cooked and served with perfectly chosen vegetable sides. We can't wait to come back. What a lovely addition to the local restaurant community.
