We came for my birthday dinner since I had posted on FB asking for best wing recommendations and so many people had mentioned LCG. It was a bit disappointing that they had ran out of wings from the previous wing night though - how can you have the best wings but not be stocked all the time? :( We ended up with the taquitos instead, my fiance got the cajun sandwich per our waitress's recommendation (flavorful and juicy) and I got the chicken piccata with linguine (good and dandy). With how many raved about the wings, I still want to come back and try them, and hopefully they'll have them in stock. There's a couple of street parking spots in front of the restaurant, but there's also a parking lot across the street near the water.

We wanted to try someplace new and live in southern Maine, so we took a quick half our drive across the line and saw this place on yelp. We don't drink, so we got cokes and started with the Reuben egg rolls. They were good, but may be better with they had like a crispy won tonnie texture to them. Then we each had a steak and my partner also got chicken. The food was cooked the opposite of what we'd asked, so we figured they must have just switched them up by mistake. No problem, things were still delicious and fine. The waitress was delightful, efficient and quick, we thought about dessert but settled on heading out. Over all, cute place, had live music and an upstairs section. The service was good and the prices on par with the rest of the dining out world. I would never have known this place existed if we didn't think to try something new!
