"This Kennebunk inn pairs preppy New England heritage with playful, slightly quirky design touches introduced in a recent redesign—think unexpected zebra-hide rugs, tiny mounted antlers, and bold color choices—centered around a fine-dining restaurant housed in an 1860s barn. The tasting-menu offerings include a lobster-focused option that presents dishes like a lobster caviar roll, tempura lobster, and tandoori lobster, while a more casual tavern space features a large mural by a Maine artist." - Nicholas DeRenzo
