Jolie Rogers Raw Bar

I highly recommend this spot.

Sometimes you find a place that is magical and sets the bar for all the other dining experiences you have. That is Jolie Rogers. It’s a special restaurant situated in a beautiful spot just near 1 in Wiscasset, Maine.

I arrived into town late and had not eaten dinner. They were open until 9pm and as I approached and walked in, the right mood was set because the interiors and decor are clean, modern and simple with the perfect touch of intention and thought.

I had 3 dishes and each was very delicious and fresh. It was the best meal during my month long travels in New England and now sits within the top 5 favorite places I’ve been anywhere in the world.

Each of the team members made me feel comfortable and thoroughly answered any questions I had.

Parking was easy and the service was exceptional… and matched the quality and taste of the dishes.

I’ve been telling anyone and everyone about this place. I will definitely return.

Thank you!

Was in Wiscasset for two nights and saw a listing for this place. The photography on their website was excellent, and the menu looked appealing. It was exactly what I wanted. It’s right on the river, and is very sleek and stylish in a minimalistic way. The staff was friendly, the oysters were top notch (my favorites were the ones the owners grow), and I had a lovely chat with Andy, one of the co-owners. I’ll definitely return when I’m in the area.

Dined at Jolie Rogers over Labor Day weekend with a small group of oyster lovers. All of us agreed that these were hands down the best oysters we have ever had. One member of our group even made the comment that he felt he had never truly experienced an oyster until what Jolie Rogers had to offer. Yes, they are that good.

You won't find a lobster roll here - there are a handful of places for that literally a stone's throw away - but the quality of everything we tried was top notch. An obvious focus on fresh, local ingredients that reflects the beauty of seasonality. Andy was extremely hospitable and highly knowledgeable about his craft as an oyster farmer and preparer, and was happy to answer any questions about his process. Additionally, he's a great source of local info for anyone who may be visiting from out of state like we were.

We were seriously entertaining the thought of going back the next day for lunch if they weren't closed for a private event! Will be back for sure any time we find ourselves in the area.

Highlights for us were:
*3 dozen oysters (and their beautiful presentation) - cleanest shucked oysters you will ever have, and the most flavorful too
*Scallop ceviche - you know something is good when you order a plate to share, and then everyone wants an order for themselves. Delicate flavors that compliment each other without ever distracting
*Drinks - great selection of local and less local beer and wine, and also a fantastic Bloody Mary made with in house sauces
*Dessert - locally made small batch ice cream sandwiches. We got all 3 flavors and all of us had a different favorite because they were all so amazing

This place seems like a hidden gem. It's one of my favorite raw bars in the area. Most people go around this area to check out the lobster rolls, but this place is a great stop. Oysters during happy hour are such a great deal. We ordered a dozen and a half! The Crab Roll and Hummus toast were some of our favorites. This place is definitely worth checking out if you like raw bars!

Absolutely delicious and beautiful food! The oysters are top notch and the presentation was devine!
We also tried the crab roll and the anchovy toast and they were both amazing.
The seating was great and we watched the boats on the water.
All in all, this place is great and I highly recommend it!
