White Barn Inn Restaurant (prix fixe), Kennebunk, ME., 6/18/25

buildings – 37 Beach Ave, Kennebunk, ME 04043-7614

The basic menu at the fine dining restaurant in White Barn Inn is a 4 course fixed price ($175 + tax, gratuity) one.  There are at least 6 choices for each of 4 courses, some with supplemental charges and optional wine pairings are available.   Since we’d done the 2 longer tastings the previous nights we thought this would be a way to try options we hadn’t gotten or to repeat some of our favorite selections.  The meal was a combination of both and included  the usual small extras we’d had every night.  Again we came early but this time were able to get seats at the bar to enjoy a martini before we started the meal and listen to a different pianist this night.  We had the same great server as last night and she was helpful in making sure nothing repeated that we didn’t want to and assured satisfaction with the experience.  Executive Chef Mary Dumont was not there any of the 3 nights we were.  According to one server she often comes in the morning to help prep and plan but doesn’t work dinner service, so we were dissappointed not to meet her and get her to meet Frankie.  However, it still is a place I’d recommend to anyone wanting a fine dining experience in the Kennebunk area.

Mike’s All Day Breakfast, Kennebunk, ME., 6/18/25

Mike’s All Day Breakfast is a large place that is open 7 days a week for breakfast and lunch.  Their menu features American classics served in several different rooms.  The service seemed slow to seat us – there was a  line of folks with a number of empty tables inside, but once they got around to it we all got seated and service was efficient and friendly.   The good-sized menu was supplemented by chalkboards with coffee drink options and a couple Benedict specials as well as reminding all they serve Mimosas.  The regular coffee they poured was fine by me but they didn’t serve water unless you asked.  The simple tables were surrounded by windows and walls decorated with fun signs.  A dedicated parking lot was large and there were benches on the front porch for waiting.  The porch for eating has been enclosed and is one of the many seating options.  I thought the food was generous and good and would easily go again when in the area.

White Barn Inn Restaurant(chef’s blind tasting), Kennebunk, ME.,6/17/25

Inn building where you enter – 37 Beach Ave, Kennebunk, ME 04043-7614

We arrrived early fo our second dinner at White Barn Inn Restaurant so we could enjoy a drink with the live piano music beforehand.  The bar stools had been reserved with people for dinner so we had a choice of some stuffed chairs or a seat at the piano, where we chose to enjoy a nice Negroni.  It was a lovely way to start the meal, which tonight was to be the 8 course blind chef’s tasting.    There is no printed menu but Executive Sous Chef Liam Gove was nice enough to email me a list of our courses to help with my write up.  I find this is often offered and about the half the time they actually do it but kudos to him for promptly following up.  My understanding from our server was that the tasting was adjusted since we had the lobster tasting the previous evening and they didn’t want to repeat any courses.  We also sat on a different side of the room which was much better for photos, less sun glare and more constant light from an overhead spot.  We didn’t ask about wine pairings as we chose to get our own bottle of wine each night.    Service was again first rate with the friendly staff anticipating every need and being quite helpful.  This was another meal I’d recommend you try, but the lobster was my favorite of the two.

Palace Diner, Biddeford, ME., 6/17/25

The Palace Diner was re-opened by Greg Mitchell and Chad Conley in 2014, the sixth proprietors of the property.  They picked a Pollard Company car built in Lowell, Massachesetts in 1927.  It has been in Biddeford, Maine its entire life and is one of only 2 Pollard cars remaining in America.   The red and black car has windows on 3 sides on the top half of the walls.  Outside the yellow letters spell out their name on the red bottom portion of the car with a “Ladies Invited” sign next to it.   Inside green tile is below the windows and a well worn formica counter divides the diners from the stainless steel and wood walls and fixtures.   A large pass through window looks into the kitchen that was added in the 1980s.   They are open 7 days a week for breakfast and lunch.  They do not take reservations and we were lucky to be seated immediately.  The diner next to me said he waited in line 20 minutes for a one of the 15 seats at the counter.    It is a cash only place with a few parking spots out front but a large city lot adjacent to it.   The place had real atmosphere with welcoming staff and great food.  Make sure and check it out when you are in the area.

White Barn Inn (lobster tasting), Kennebunk, ME., 6/16/25

White Barn Inn Restaurant, about 20 miles outside of Portland, Maine, offers New England cuisine year-round.    The Inn is around 45 years old and has a fine dining as well as a casual restaurant.  We chose the fine dining portion for our stay and were able to sample the 3 types of menus they offer.   The menus are presented in a re-modeled barn building, whereas the casual dining is in a more modern room.  The front of the 2-story room has a small bar with seats for about 6 (they can be reserved to eat from the casual restaurant’s menu) and a grand piano with an actual pianist playing every night.  The second story of the barn is filled with boxes, fake animals and other decorative items and in the back of the room is a large window that showcases lighted colorful blooming plants.  The double clothed tables are draped to the floor with a beige cloth that is topped with a shorter white one.  Service is 5-star and friendly, if you want interaction.  We started with the lobster tasting where portion control was spot on and the food was very good.  I would easily recommend this place when in the area and it’s even better when you can stay right there and walk to and from dinner.

Primo Restaurant is a chef-owned place by Melissa Kelly who was the 2013 James Beard Foundation Award winner of the American Express Best Chef, Northeast.  She also won this award in 1999 making her the first 2 time winner of the same award.  It started as a small venture with one greenhouse and one acre of gardens to 2 greenhouses, 60 staff and 3 acres of gardens as well as chickens and pigs. It is a huge place with a 2 story house being the main eating area with a roaming parking lot to the side that goes up by other buildings and gardens.  It was dark and rainy the night we went so it was hard to tell what was what.  There were tables on the porch around the large house but the weather did not allow these to be seated.  Some rooms had white tablecloths and others bare wood.  We were seated in a small room upstairs with old wood floors and bench seating around the walls and small tables.  Art for sale was on the walls and I saw 2 bars upstairs.  The server told us the place was named for the chef’s grandfather when he had a brief moment to chat.  The menu changes daily and yet specials were verbally delivered by the server.  The food was good, the ambiance a bit hectic and my overall impression was once was enough.

Home Kitchen Cafe opened in early 2009 in a former gas station location.  In 2013 they renovated to expand the kitchen and add a second floor deck.  Offering breakfast and lunch all day they want you to “remember, when you’re hungry, come home.”  They have their own bakery but also try and make most dishes in-house and use local ingredients.  There are parking places around the building but also street parking.  Benches outside served as a waiting area and the line moved quickly.  Inside there were tables in one part and the other part was just a lower L-shaped counter seating and a cabinet with items for sale.  There was music in the background and service was friendly and efficient.  If you need breakfast or lunch in the area this would be a fine place to get it, but come hungry.

18 Central Oyster Bar & Grill looks over Rockport Harbor and is owned by Chef Patrick Duffy and his wife Jessica.  The couple moved to Rockport from Boston in 2011 to run the Shepherd’s Pie restaurant, which closed in mid-2016.  With a first run at the property, they decided to open their own raw bar and restaurant in that location.   After several months of renovations, they launched the new venture.  It’s a good-sized place with patio seating, overlooking the harbor.  The first part of the space is the bar and raw bar and a partially open kitchen fills the rest.  The floors are old wood matching the tin ceiling above.  The walls are wood and brick while art, historic photos and boat sails hang as decorative touches. The lighting is quite low and there was no music in the background.  The tables were well-spaced yet small and service was fine after a slow start.  The menu responds to seasonal products and the food was quite good.  This place is worth a visit when you’re in the area.

line up to order – 315 Island Rd, South Thomaston, ME 04858

McLoon’s started in 2012 as a family-owned Maine lobster shack on the tip of Spruce Head Island across from the area’s oldest working lobster wharf.  It’s what a city would call a food truck except it doesn’t move.  You line up at the order window, order and pay and then another person calls out your name when it’s ready and they bring it to your table.  There was a tent over many large picnic tables next to the building but also an assortment of tables, some with umbrellas around the basic area.  Some have wonderful views of the harbor and many enjoyed full sun, if that’s your thing.  There were also wooden chairs that just faced the harbor without having to be seated at a table.  There was a line waiting for it to open and the line continued throughout our lunch.  It moved quickly and it didn’t take long to get your food.  They had a service stand by the tent which supplied salt, pepper, wipes, toothpicks and a container and cups for water.  Also for sale were several Whoopie pies which they touted at the Maine dessert but they also had pies and cookies.  We passed on that.  The food we had was fabulous, fresh and I’d go back any time I am in the area and it’s open, as it does operate only seasonally.

Long Grain opened around 2010 serving “honest food” which was mostly Thai based but also made use of other Asian cultures.  A husband and wife team owns it, Ravin Nakjaroen and Paula Palakawong, both from Bangkok with he being a self-trained cook.   In 2014 he was a semifinalist for the Best Chef Northeast James Beard Award.   Located in downtown Camden parking is as you can find it but there was a small public lot across the street.  Over the years the place has expanded in size, which helps as it’s pretty popular.  Large windows look out to the street and inside it’s divided into 2 rooms by an open bookcase with things for sale.  A few seats are also available at the counter in the back.  There’s lots of light in addition to the windows with the addition of skylights and there is music in the background.  The servers were very friendly but service was slow, I think due to being overwhelmed by customers.  They do take reservations and serve lunch and dinner Tues through Sat. The food was worth waiting for – everything we had was excellent.  Put this one on your list for your Maine vacation. Continue reading →

Nīna June is the nickname of  Chef Sara Jenkins, who was born in Camden, Maine but raised in the Mediterranean.  She uses the background of both places to highlight the products of Maine’s farms and ocean coastal waters with a regularly changing menu.  She is the author of 2 cookbooks and previously cooked for kitchens in NYC.  This is a long place with the back patio seats overlooking the Rockport Harbor.  The open kitchen was on one side and the chef was there to greet the customers and show them to their table.  The walls had bench seating with lots of pillows which matched up with small closely placed small wooden tables that were set with paper placemats and cloth napkins.  Music was in the background, the lights were fairly dim and art was on the walls.  It was a cozy feel and it easily facilitated conversations with your neighbors.  The menu was very intriguing and thus we ordered way more than we could eat but we wanted to try so many things.  As you’d guess, some items were better than others and appealed differently to esch of us.  I’m not sure if any would get a “lick the bowl” rating but I certainly would recommend this place and go back if I’m in the area.  The food is very fresh and well done without dots, smears or added micro-greens and really focused on local.  Let me know what you think when you visit!

The Harbor Cafe is in a large white house on on the main street of Stonington, Maine. There were a couple rooms but mostly one was in use and it was lined with booths on the side and a couple tables in the middle. Art was for sale on the walls and maps were laminated on the table tops. The booths were divided with plexiglas but masks were not required for the vaccinated. It felt like a very local spot with people ordering ‘the usual.’  In addition to the menu they offered a ham and cheese omelette which we both chose. You could chose your bread product, cheese and potato preparation. We both took cheddar and the skillet then deep fried potatoes. I had an English muffin and my husband had white toast. The potatoes were crisp and really good and the omelette was filled with chunks of ham. The egg exterior was fluffy and good. Unlike the menu indicated (one refill only) they refilled your coffee numerous times. It was a good solid way to start a day of travel. Continue reading →

Aragosta is Devin Finigan’s fine dining restaurant on Goose Cove in Deer Isle, Maine. They opened in 2012 in Stonington but bought a 22 acre waterfront resort in January 2019 to be able to offer lodging as well as dining. A team of craftsmen transformed the property and now the dining room is a large open space with painted wood walls and ceiling. They also have outdoor seating overlooking the water but it gets pretty cool in the evening for that. Lighting is lowered and music is in the background. The place is noisy with so many hard surfaces but it was made worse as we were given a large table right next to the swinging doors to the kitchen. Up one step were more tables and a lounge area near the bar, in front of the fire place. Plenty of parking is close by but the walk to the restaurant is poorly lit. They offer only a tasting menu and also offer wine pairings if you don’t want to order your own bottle. Pacing was eratic, service was an issue for us and the food was mixed so I can’t give a solid recommendation for the place.  Continue reading →

Captain’s Catch is a little shack by the wharf area in Castine, ME.  The building was given by the Castine Community Partners for the greater good of the area.  It does a lot of ice cream and hot dog business but the also have an excellent lobster roll.   We found it walking around the shops and the boats for the Maritime School.  The roll came on a butter toasted piece of bread and was stuffed with lobster chunks in Mayo dressing.  The lobster tasted fresh and sweet and the butter on the bread added more flavor as well as texture to the sandwich.  Stop by if you’re in the area.  Can’t comment on any of their other items.

Bagaduce Lunch was opened as a roadside fish shack in 1946 in Brooksville Maine.  The original owner’s granddaughter and husband have run the place for 25 years.  They have a system where you order at the window and they call your number when it’s ready.  The area behind the restaurant is set up with picnic tables, outhouses and trash cans.  The site is on the water and so it is lovely backdrop.  The place states they serve only fresh and locally sourced seafood.  The cooking process has not changed since they opened and everything is fried.  It was a strange thing how each item worked differently with the same coating.  They won a James Beard Award in 2008 and are really popular.

The Hichborn is in a large historic house with bare wood tables, faint music in the background, lots of art on the walls (for sale), numerous plants, sound dampening panels on the ceiling and lowered lighting.  The house is named for Nathan Hichborn a prolific boat builder who was also a politician.   Owner Kirk Linder manages the front while his partner Charlie Zorich serves as chef in back.  They offer only a printed tasting menu (with a couple extras thrown in) with optional wine pairings for a capacity of about 30.  There is a full bar for cocktails as well as a wine by the glass or bottle menu.  We chose the pairings and while they were well matched with the courses they were small pours and not topped off, especially when they were meant to go with extra courses. Both the owner and chef did come by and introduce themselves, which was very nice. Continue reading →

Tinder Hearth is a wood fired bakery of pastry, bread and pizza.  The owners, Tim and Lydia Semmler, started the bakery in 2007 and they added making pizza a few years after that.  They currently make pizza on Tuesday – Friday nights (this will change when the weather gets colder) for take out and outdoor dining but reservations are required for either option.  You need to call (207-326-8381) on the Tuesday morning of the week you want to come and make a reservation – and they go fast.  They also offer salad, ice cream and beverages.  There was a good amount of on-site parking  and then you walk up to the check in booth where you will be assigned a table and given your water, glasses, plates and flatware.   A separate ‘building’ sold the flavored beverages including wine and beer.  The tables are spaced throughout the garden area and there is a good sized sand pile for the little ones to play in.  Hours are from 4:30 to 8:00 and the menu is posted weekly on their Facebook and Instagram pages.

Hugo’s opened in 1988 and had a major rennovation in 2012.  There are booths along a brick wall, a couple tables by the windows to the street and lots of seats at a curved counter that wraps around the open kitchen.  The lights are quite low (spots highlight each table and the bar) with lots of wood and dark leather upholstery make up the interior.  The tin ceiling, music in the background and decorations made of local organic material finish out the stylish and striking design of the interior.  In fact they strived to make all the interior from materials found in Maine.   The red bricks are from Moose Head Lake, the slate plates from Monson, and a huge painting at the end of the room is by local artist Eric Hopkins. They offer an a la carte menu and also a chef’s tasting of about 10 courses.  The tasting offers items not on the menu and the whole table must participate.  For the tasting they have wine pairings available.  We chose the tasting but ordered our own wine after a cocktail and they did give me a list of what we had after the meal.

Miyake was a medium sized place off the tourist path.  There was lots of counter seating as well as tables.  The counter does face the preparation area, thus lots of lights illuminate your food there.  We were fortunate to have the seats right across from chef, Masa Miyake who had been in Portland since 2006.  Previously he worked in a number of NYC and Tokyo restaurants.  Some music played in the background in this very stylized place.  The menu offered several types of tasting menu options as well as a la carte.  There is also a separate Nigiri and Sashimi menu with another offering market features.   We chose the Kaiseki Omakase or Chef’s tasting menu, which included a number of off-the-menu items, and had their sake pairings to go with it.  They do offer some wines and beers along with a huge sake menu.   Continue reading →

donuts made with Maine mashed potatoes

The Holy Donut was recommended by many as a great place for donuts and the crowds there would certainly affirm that.  The sign said they close when they sell out or by 3:00.  The twist here is that the donuts are made from Maine potatoes.  They offered about 20 flavors of donuts and iced and hot coffee.  We tried 3 different flavors and they all seemed dull to me. The donuts were more of the cake variety as opposed to being yeasty.  The resulting texture was heavy and although they did have a nice amount of sweetness they just didn’t live up to my expectations.  Maybe too much hype made it impossible to measure up.  They are fairly large and many quite colorful, though.  They also sold souvenir items.   Continue reading →

Central Provisions is a small place with some tables and counter seating.  The main room is on the second level with a street entrance and another entrance is below that leads into a bar and some tables where you can eat the same menu.  The bathroom and check in are upstairs so there’s a fair amount of traffic up and down.  The upstairs is where the open kitchen is and the ambiance is way better than in the downstairs portion.  Windows to the street add to the already adequate lighting for the small, close tables.  Service is friendly but timing of food is uneven at this very casual place.  However, in their defense the place was packed with lots of people standing around waiting for a seat to open up.  We were lucky to get a couple bar stools overlooking the main cooking areas so we got to see lots of the food going out.  There was no interaction with those cooking, though, they were just too busy.  The menu has plates that are ideal for sharing and we did just that so we could sample more items.   Continue reading →

Back Bay Grill has a  medium sized dining room and a good sized bar that you enter through.  At the end of this room is a large opening where you can see into the kitchen.  The seating arrangements included some banquette seating and tables that were able to accommodate a number of large parties the evening we were there.  The tables are not large and a tad close together but not so much that you didn’t feel like your conversations were private and you could hear the people at your table.  A few windows on one wall allow you to look out to the street, but the location is away from the most touristy zone, which made it appear that local residents made up most of the guests.  Low lighting, soft instrumental background music, white tableclothes and napkins and a large long mural  on one wall all add to the ambiance of the place.  There is a feeling of “old school” elegance, the food was really good and the staff were all super friendly and welcoming.  Chef Larry Matthews Jr.  has been here 30 years and been the owner for 20 years.  The menu is all a la carte.   Continue reading →

Fore Street was a large place that opened in 1996, with an open kitchen and grill area in the center of the space.  There was a good sized bar area also where you enter.  In the dining room the lights were kept quite low with a little natural light coming in the windows on 2 sides until the sun went down and then it was all candle power.  The small tables were nicely spaced and there were a number of large booths that could hold up to 6 people.  Although I could hear no music in the background the room hummed, probably because it was packed with tables turning over during the early part of the evening.  The staff were friendly, helpful and willing to let us split many of the dishes.  The crowd was pretty casual.  Their “sister” place is a bakery below them where they also get their bread.  The specialty was seafood cooked on a wood grill or rotisserie and I’d say it was a mixed result.  Some items were wonderful but others had some huge flaws.   Continue reading →

The Highroller Lobster Company is a good sized very casual place.  The menu featured Maine lobster in numerous formats but also has burgers, salads and hot dogs.  A number of their options come with a container of sauce.  They offered a number of locally made beers also.  It had a combination of booth and counter seating.  A counter where you enter takes your order, gives you a number flag that you place on the table and then they bring you your food and beverages.  You pay at the same counter on your way out.  The people working there were friendly and service was very efficient.  We tried a couple things and then went back to the counter and ordered a couple others so we could try a number of their offerings.  Also tried several of their local beers.  This place gets lots of people but I saw it more as a lunch/snack place than a serious dinner option.   Continue reading →
