Fine dining restaurant · Kennebunkport

"New England fine dining doesn't get much better than this. Classic dishes are reimagined with decadent, locally grown touches. Instead of a steamed lobster in a plastic basket with a lemon wedge and some sad French fry situation, your lobster comes butter-poached with black truffle gnudi, morels, and a Maine uni emulsion. Other dishes are given similar treatment, such as the swordfish, which comes with crispy escargot, pea purée, trout roe, and a limoncello emulsion. This is the kind of place where everyone takes a break, showers, and dresses up before dinner. Make sure to get there well before your reservation so you have time to enjoy a cocktail on the veranda before sitting for dinner. Your Blood Orange Cosmo will taste that much better as you sip it while staring at the Atlantic. If you're planning one nice dinner during your visit, make this it." - Todd Plummer
