"Perched on 21 scenic acres along Deer Isle’s western shore, this coastal retreat emphasizes Maine’s bounty with international techniques woven into each plate. The chef frequently pairs local seafood with nuanced influences—examples include spring halibut in a savory “tidal broth” made from lobster stock and dashi, lobster with beurre blanc, and duck paired with mole—while panoramic seaside views and nine on-site cottages make lingering part of the appeal." - Corina Quinn
