Our Kitchen

At Watershed Wood-Fired Kitchen, we are passionate about food and committed to using the freshest, locally sourced ingredients in our dishes. Our approach to cooking is simple - we use a wood-fired oven to bring out the natural flavors of our ingredients and create unique and delicious dishes.  We capture the terroir of the mountains and valleys of Western Maine by using wild-sourced ingredients in our ravioli & by making our own sourdough pizza dough and breads which are risen by our own starter. Come dine with us and experience the magic of our kitchen!

We are taking reservations for parties of 8-10 ONLY.  We can only seat these large parties on the  heated covered deck.  20% gratuity automatically added for parties of 8 or more.

 

 We do not have the kitchen space or extra crew necessary to do takeout.  Again, thank you for understanding.

 

​​Providing a quality  casual dining experience is most important to us. We cannot allow guests to wait in the entry due to fire and safety concerns.  Our deck is open! Maine can be chilly, dress warmly and enjoy an adventure. COME EARLY, especially for parties greater than 4 for best chance not having to wait for a table.   

​

Lastly, be kind. We are doing our best to accommodate you, our guests. Thank you
