Our contemporary New England cuisine has been rooted in the local and seasonal long before they were the mots du jour on menus across the country. At our AAA Five Diamond, Forbes Five Star restaurant, we showcase incredible ingredients sourced through specially cultivated relationships with the farmers, fishermen and foragers of coastal Maine and just beyond for beautifully-presented, always inspired dishes that encapsulate the very essence of our spectacular setting.

We have a smart casual dress code; jackets are preferred, but not required. Shorts, sportswear, and flip-flops are forbidden in the dining room.

    Food was delicious and service was good. I miss some of the little touches they used to do - Line of staff greeting on arrival, assisting with chairs and placing napkins when returning from restroom, and the little palette cleanser sorbet.

    Fabulous dinner at the White Barn. The Peeky Toe Crab and the Foie Gras mousse were both spectacular. I think I’ll be dreaming about the Foie Gras mousse it was so good. Lovely service too. The wait staff were all super.

    The experience from start to finish was incredible! The valet team was warm and engaging. Will and Chris seemed eager to help us and know about our dinner plans, not only that, Chris had 3 umbrellas open and ready for us! Once we entered the building we had a warm greeting from the front office team. Grace, Caleb, and Sergio were kind and knowledgeable. Grace even went above and beyond by giving us a short tour of the property!! We sat at the bar before dinner and had a cocktail. Brooke was friendly and the cocktails were out of this world. I'm not even a whiskey fan and I loved the whiskey based banana drink we ordered. It was so fun to watch her brulee the banana! This had to be one of the best dinners I've ever experienced. Peter was an expert storyteller from start to finish. He and the culinary team took us on an culinary adventure we can't stop talking about! The wine pairing experience was absolutely unforgettable. Each meal was so carefully crafted with love and thought of local ingredients. We still can't decide which course was our favorite. Definitely add this experience to your Maine Must-Do!

    Best dinner of my life maybe. It’s an experience. Looking for a place to go on date night? Applebees is great. Want an experience that you will remember the rest of your life? Come here.
