The most farm-to-table you can get without dining in a hen house. Head upstairs to the tavern-like walk-in area for $1 oysters , tapas , and the entire reservations only menu.

Today, Kelly and Kushner grow or raise the ingredients for nearly everything on the menu. Upstairs, dining is more casual and affordable than in the main floor dining room. [Eater 38 Member]

The doughnuts are a must, everything else I had was lovely. I had a sea bass entree and the farmers salad with an egg . Best salad I’ve ever had.

One of the best meals I've had all year, and going back through the garden was a really lovely experience. Sit upstairs—it's a lot more casual & comfortable . They can make veggie substitutions!

Amazing foie ! It has plenty of different good dishes.

Don't miss this spot for all occasions or just stop by for a bite. Melissa & Price and all the staff are amazing! Enjoy again and again and again! Can't wait for it to open again in May!

If you didn't get a reservation - show up early (around 5-5:30) and get a spot at the bar upstairs. You can order off of both menus here rather than just the dining room menu.

Just get everything you can possibly eat. I had mostly specials and they were all fantastic. Easily worth an hour drive.

Marvelous experience -- consistently good, surprising food and a knowledgeable , attentive staff . Walk the gardens before you come in for dinner and don't commit until you hear the specials.

Skip the reservation and head upstairs to the bar for the small plates menu. Be sure to try the Crispy Pimenton Octopus .

Delicious, Reasonable, Incredible staff , Awesome drinks! everything on the menu is worth a taste! Best Desserts !

Sit in the counter room if you can (the bar there is fun, since you watch the magic happen).

Melissa Kelly is another of Maine's Jame Beard Award Winners for best chef in the Northeast ! Fresh, local food, most is grown and raised right on the farm ...

Get the Smore dessert . Oh. My. God.

Everything

Make sure to order dessert - worth every calorie! Also don't miss dollar oyster nights every Sunday...

Get there early and take time to see the grounds

Great date spot and unbelievable food...

The best restaurant in the mid-coast of Maine!

Good food but almost no point in making a reservation if they just blow it off then wait 20 min to take your order...

Solid food, but nothing mind blowing. You pay dearly for the costs of the owners running a hyper-local, farm-to-table restaurant .

Must get the pasta . Everything is freshly made !
