This is a wonderful restaurant and bar as long as you have realistic expectations. It isn't fancy, trendy, or romantic, but it is a friendly place full of local color. Personally I love eating there; it won't knock your socks off, but sometimes it's nice when your socks stay on.

Our waitress was phenomenal. Great service, great attitude and very friendly with recommendations. Unfortunately, the chef was not great by any standard. First off, the Nachos came out with nothing on them, except cheese. No chicken, no tomatoes, no onions. Menu states it comes with cheese onions and tomatoes. 2/3 things missing. Haddock Plaki came out, missing 2/5 things it's supposed to come with. We sent back the nachos, but I already felt bad about asking for a remake when the chef clearly isn't making an attempt to leave a lasting impression. When the menu says one thing, but you miss parts....there's something wrong. For a typical Sunday afternoon lunch at 1:30, this food was abysmal. Never again Old Town Kosta's.
This place is absolutely beautiful. The food is the best around for a bar/family gig.
However, I was invited there yet not one soul spoke a word to my daughter and I and I was extremely disappointed.
I won't be back.
The food and the service are absolutely horrible! My husband and I were there for lunch today. When we got there, they were not that busy, but got much busier after we ordered our food. We waited an hour for two appetizers, nachos and bread sticks. The nachos were cold and soggy because they had been sitting for a while, the breadsticks were barely lukewarm. When the manager knew about our complaints, he offered to remake the food, I told them we did not have another hour to wait for them and needed to go He said he would take the food off the bill and then proceeded to throw the bill at my husband. Daniel is the rudest and most unprofessional manager I have ever encountered.

In a word, deplorable. I came hoping for a nice meal to cap off a day that was nothing short of awful. Unfortunately it only furthered this experience. The fettuccine Alfredo reminded me of my cats dinner from last night. My pizza was severely undercooked, and my mozzarella squares were almost as watery as my chocolate milk. Will not be coming back.

I am new to the Old Town/Orono area and have been searching for a place with a welcoming atmosphere and an at home type of vibe - I think I found it. Although they were obviously busy, and seemingly understaffed, the bar manager Daniel was attentive and welcoming and always made sure myself and all the other patrons were well taken care of. Drinks were poured and served promptly and food was delivered fresh and exactly as I requested it. As the saying goes “there is only 1 chance to make a first impression”. Well, a great first impression was made! I think I found my new watering hole.
I always have a good time at Kosta's. The prices are reasonable, with great daily specials. Food has always been delicious, and the drinks, perfect. Enjoy socializing with Kyle from the kitchen. Kelci behind the bar is very friendly and sociable as well as efficient and responsible with each customer she serves. Whether I'm coming in with friends/family, or by myself, I always greatly enjoy coming here.

Our waitress was phenomenal and the atmosphere was great, but my food had a huge piece of hard plastic in it. I ordered the Greek burger and took a bite and had some type of plastic piece cooked within the burger. With the size of it, I have no clue how the kitchen could’ve missed this. The waitress didn’t charge me for the burger and offered to have the kitchen make me something else, but I honestly didn’t dare. Seems like they have a neglectful kitchen staff.
