The Best Farm-to-Table Food on a Road Trip Along the Maine Coast, April 2021

"I dined at Devin Finigan's Aragosta on Deer Isle and found a kitchen obsessed with reflecting the landscape: after working with Jean-Georges, Thomas Keller and Dan Barber, Finigan built a woman-led indoor-outdoor restaurant that sources lobsters caught by her husband, scallops raised locally by Marsden and Bob Brewer, and peas from Four Season Farm. Relocated to Goose Cove from Stonington and framed like a summer-camp centerpiece, Aragosta pared its service to a 10-course tasting menu during the pandemic (listed at $125) and even offers stylish cottages and suites to sleep in (doubles from $140), making the meal feel like a thoughtful, place-driven retreat." - Kevin West Kevin West Kevin West is a writer, food consultant, and “canning evangelist” (according to NPR).
