Joshua's has always been a hit with my family and myself for years! Whenever my parents come up from Connecticut we always have at least one dinner here. The staff is well trained, Chef Joshua should be one of the top rated chef's in the business if he isn't already. The food is always cooked to perfection and we never... More

The other reviews are correct; this is the best restaurant in town, and one of the best in the region. The meals are consistently excellent, carefully prepared, and perfectly cooked. The specials are excellent options, but don't hesitate to order from the main menu. The haddock, pork tenderloin, duck, and chicken are fantastic. Apps are great too, and the maple... More

We drive up to Maine from RI to vacation in ogunquit, but Joshua's is the real reason! I get the duck every time, and it never fails to amaze me. Duck has to be cooked just right, and it always is here! My wife had the filet mignon, cooked and seasoned perfectly. They did use the wider cut of meat;... More

The food is local and/or organic, much from their own farm. Great flavor combinations

The staff was friendly and efficient. The food was absolute perfection! My husband has a gluten allergy, and they were attentive to that. He was even able to get a dessert - a flourless hazelnut torte that was delicious. Our server brought two forks so he could share with me (I ordered my own homemade-right- there peach sorbet, but I... More

We visited New England and planned to just eat lobster every day during our relatively brief stay. We happened upon Joshua's on the second day, returned again for dessert (homemade ice cream!), and then again for dinner. We had soup, salad, two different appetizers, four different entrees, and four different desserts. Every bite was better than the one before. Everything... More

My favorite American cuisine. Cooked from scratch, fresh ingredients. I dream about the sauteed mushroom appetizer. Cozy, intimate, country feel. And that rack of lamb!

We were in Maine for the weekend and returned to Joshuas's as always. The food, service, and atmosphere were the same perfection as our last visit. We had the beef filet and the vegetarian pasta/veggie selection. The filet was delicious and the veg/pasta combo was the must delicious I've ever eaten. We will never visit that area in Maine without... More
