We ate dinner. The food was delicious. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate. It was 98°. Too hot for outside seating and the inside dining room had limited air conditioning. Good pour on my drink! Will go again when it's cooler to better enjoy the restaurant and surrounding sights

My daughter took me here on Saturday for Father's Day. I had not been there for several years. Evidently, the business was sold three years ago and has undergone a complete renovation under new ownership. I dont know whether the rooms were done as well, but there is a new dining room and bar. The original dining room is still functional as well. We had the seafood Alfredo and ribeye. The Alfredo had ample scallops, shrimp and lobster. It was served in a creamy sauce with pasta, although the sauce seemed a little underwhelming. The ribeye was excellent and cooked perfectly along with the potatoes and steamed vegetables. The salad and homemade bread were an added treat. It was a wonderful dinner in the new dining room. We were too full to have dessert, but the selection looked tempting. Our server was excellent. If you are visiting Bar Harbor, it is worth the trip over to the Crocker House.

Top notch classic B&B and excellent restaurant. From the chef, to manager Holly, to other workers like Dana, everyone was genuinely caring, friendly and just overall nice. Bed was amazingly comfy. Food was stupendous. Value was great. A++++ to everyone. Love this place.

We had a few drinks and then dinner on a Saturday night. The jazz band was great, the ambiance in the bar was lively. and the dinner was amazing. My husband, Dad and I had a great evening. The food is really, really good. We especially enjoyed the Seafood Fettuccine, Potatoes Diaphanous (sp?) and Stir Fry. My Dad is a bit of a food snob and even he was impressed. So glad to have a local place like this.

My fiance booked a room for a 1 night stay, I wish we had booked more! Amazing experience, the staff was incredible, room was adorable & the food was 10/10. We had dinner and their breakfast. Both were some of the best meals we have had our entire vacation. Especially the breakfast, we really didn't know what to expect and were blow away (and full)! Thank you to all the staff! You really made our trip!!

Absolutely wonderful place to stay. Josh and his employees are very nice and friendly. Location is peaceful and quiet. Rooms are kept up very nice and unique in their own way. Could use a few more electrical outlets in the rooms, but do cover that with electrical strips. The food here is the best we have had in all our travels, with generous portions. Josh and the other chefs are amazing. We are from Kansas and come back here every few years just to come to Crocker House Inn.

Super cute upscale interior & fantastic simple-but-classic menu. We had hands down the MOST perfectly breaded and fried calamari I have ever eaten in my entire life, as well as the most delicately cooked (poached then light pan sear, how?!). Need to know secret ingredient in the crab spinach and artichoke dip— lemon and horseradish..? Would return for just these two menu items. Oysters rock are sweet and tasted heavily of Pernod. Entree price points are around $50, so a meal for two here with a round or two of drinks and two apps will easily set you back $250-300 with tip FYI, which is just around what you’d pay for a inventive meal or tasting menu with wine paring at a top restaurant in a major city. But with a classic no-surprises menu that suits the Hancock point summer crowd and palettes of retirees and locals alike. For the quality of meal, I’d say this is somewhat warranted but the quality of ingredients even just the lettuce in the salad was fantastic, and I understand what type of clientele they are trying to attract, retain and not attract for that matter. Meal was good and service knowledgeable, friendly, authentic but later painfully slow as dining room filled. However we would 100% return.

My wife and I stayed three nights. The owners, Bob and Jeanette could not have been more congenial. Bob helped us pull together a plan to see the best of Bar Harbor and Acadia. Their son delivered some great meals. I recommend the seafood pasta, the ribeye, and some time in the comfy bar. The grounds are beautifully appointed, and the service is exceptional. Our room was small and pedestrian, but we understood from the owners that they're all being selectively renovated. Though this place is a bit out of the way, it's worth your time and money.

New owners, updated interior, same solid menu and wonderful friendly service. The menu is fairly small but able to accommodate most dinners by including both stir fry and curried offerings with a choice of proteins or not.. I stuck with the ribeye which came with bread and a full size salad beforehand. Expertly seasoned and grilled It came with a rich potato pavé. Large portions, I couldn't finish my steak. Nothing ground breaking but very good food for an Inn and amongst the best to be found in the area. Plenty of parking.

what an absolute gem tucked away in the beautiful area of maine! everything about this place was great, its an old inn which part of the dining room had been renovated and was beautiful! we sat in the old dining room which felt very homey. service was top notch as soon as we walked through the door! we started with the duck wontons which don't look like anything special but exploded with flavor. i went with the seafood pasta which was delightful with big chunks of lobster, scallops, and shrimp and the lobster cream sauce was amazing. girlfriend went with the filet mignon which was cooked to perfection! definitely look forward to trying again if we are ever in the area

First time here since new ownership and highly recommend! Our party of six arrived at opening time of 5pm and everything went well. The kitchen has it all together and service was on point. Variety of entrees with an Asian influence; I had the Chinese black peppered steak. Desserts were delectable as were the apps. This place qualifies as "fine dining", so prices should not be a priority here. Portions are very substantial so book a reservation soon.

If you haven't been here in a while, you are in for a real treat! Updated, modern decor with a fabulous bar and lounge area. And the food continues to be as amazing as ever! Amanda was our wonderful server and did not steer us wrong on her favorite dishes. Can't wait to go back!

We've been dining at the Crocker House for many years and they never disappoint! Last night our group enjoyed the Thai mussels appetizer, amazing. We had the Seafood Pasta and the Filet Au Poivre....perfect. Over the years, we've had just about every dish and I'd recommend them all. It's a charming spot, off the beaten path, and definitely our favorite. Not to miss!

Wow! Love the newly renovated Crocker House Country Inn. Food is always on point but Josh really knocked it out of the park at dinner. My husband had his favorite Seafood Pasta and I tried the Halibut Curry - fantastic!! Desserts were yummy and Laura our server is the best!! Looking forward to our next visit with our grandkids in a few weeks.

My sister has stayed here many years ago and loved it. It is a lovely inn. I enjoy B&Bs but there are trade-offs. The Pros: The Inn is located quite a ways down a secluded road. It is very peaceful and quiet. It is close to the water so if you want to go for a nice walk with beautiful surroundings, this is a great spot. The yard is nicely landscaped and a sitting area set up in the front yard. I believe a fire pit is currently under construction. The food in the restaurant was truly worthy of five stars. Even though I love seafood, I chose the filet mignon and it was delicious. I live in Kansas City and I am used to outstanding steaks and this one lived right up to my expectations. The house salad dressing was beyond delicious and I really think I could drink it. Flavorful, sweet with savory undertones. The housemaid cheesecake was also exceptional. Truly, the meal was fantastic. Also fantastic was our server Laura. She has one of the most pleasant disposition of any person you will ever meet. We were delighted to get to meet her young daughter, Ruby, the next morning at our breakfast. Even though Ruby is only about six, she has watched her mama and took good notes. Ruby was quick to offer people a refill on coffee or ask if there was anything else they might want. She was truly delightful and I gotta say it's great to see kiddo WANTING to work & help out. Everyone at The Inn was very friendly, personable & welcoming. The cons: In this case, the only available room was really small and our only area to relax with a book was in the common seating area downstairs. It is not really a warm, cozy area and none of the seats were particularly comfortable. Our room was on the second floor and loud voices carry which made taking a little nap impossible. And if you prefer hard mattresses, you will be in heaven The dining room is small and there is no sound absorbing material. You're forced to hear the conversation from those around you who never learned the meaning of "inside voice". Not that I didn't find it fascinating that a lady 3 tables away had a 22 year old turtle, but... All in all, it is a lovely place to stay and a truly wonderful restaurant. Dinner reservations are a necessity! Breakfast is only available to Inn guests.

I booked a reservation at the Crocker House Country Inn several months ago for a family vacation in Maine. The Crocker House came recommended and the photos looked idyllic! Right before my visit, I sent Josh Noddin an email confirming our stay and he confirmed all was set!! We got our first surprise/shock when we drove in - the entire facade looked like a construction zone. Then, we walked in very skeptical (see photos) as we did not know where we were really going and what we would be confronted with. Once in, there was no one at the front desk to check us in for a while. We waited a few minutes and said "Hello" a few times before Josh showed up and gave us the room keys. Once we were in the room, we realized that our room had no AC, hairdryer, or a closet. The top drawer had some hangers, but we weren't sure what we were supposed to do with it since there was no place to hang our clothes. It seemed like our room was hastily completed for our stay since it appeared to be partially under construction with the wood and flooring exposed. Also, I noticed there was a hole in the bathroom outlet with wires hanging out. Further, across from our room and all around, all the rooms were under construction; the room across from us had caution tape on the doorway! We were visibly upset with this condition especially since Josh never once mentioned in his confirmation email that this place was under construction. Had he been honest with us, we would have made alternate arrangements. Obviously, we did not want to stay but were informed by Josh that they have a 48-hour cancellation policy! I wish to reiterate that we did not cancel but were unwilling to pay $200 per night for a place that was clearly not ready to host guests whilst in the middle of construction. Then Josh tells me that "this place isn't for everybody". How can a place under construction be OK for some folks? And that there are people willing to pay $200 per night inside a construction zone? Isn't that a hazard anyway? Well, we were lucky to get a room last minute for 4 nights at a nearby inn which was very expensive! Overall, this was not all an experience we were expecting which was shocking to say the least, and a little upfront honestly and some consideration for our situation would have been appreciated.

We love Crocker House Country Inn. We stayed here and had dinner here Pros: 1. Super dog friendly. Your dog is allowed everywhere on the facility 2. We ate at the restaurant. It's Michelin star quality food without the fuss or pedigree attitude. We had the duck and rack of lamb. Both were excellent. Sizes are very generous 3. Great service and very friendly staff. It's a small operation. Things they could improve over time: 1. The hotel is quaint and charming but could use a little facelift and it looks like they already realize that bc they were already working on some landscaping when we arrived. Guest rooms definitely needs remodeling especially the bathrooms. 2. The portions at the restaurant are very generous. It would be fine with me if they served half the size and continue to charge the same prices. 3. No in room tv or coffee maker.

Had a great birthday breakfast at the Crocker House last Saturday for 7. Pancakes, eggs, omelets, and several tasty specials that we tried, like blueberry stuffed French toast, and salmon, onion, and tomato omelet in a sunlit room with beautiful windows surrounding us. Geneeous portions. Attentive and kind waitress. The flowers and lawn area outside are stunning. We will be back!

Terrible hamburger at the bar and badly made drinks. The menu was barren on Sunday evening with no sea food offerings. The burger was thin, over cooked and clearly just out of the freezer. The fries were pale and under cooked. My old fashioned was watery with too much ice and my wife's martini was not dry as she ordered but flooded with vermouth. Service was slow. They sat us next to the waitress station at the bar which was noisy and distracting. The room looks like it was decorated out of a catalogue.

Our family has been coming to this lovely restaurant for years. It's a gem tucked on Hancock Point that is a must see. The food is delicious; in particular the steak au poivre, seafood pasta, and salmon are out of this world. The Inn has recently come under new ownership and they've elevated the restaurant/inn to the next level. The interior furnishings have been modernized; the new owners have added an expanded bar and bar menu and an EV charging station. A spacious outdoor seating area was also added with live music on the weekends. Brunch is available on the weekends and it's delicious (french toast, pancakes, omelettes). The new owners and chef are gracious, warm, and invested in the community. The staff and customer service are always top notch. It's definitely worth making the trip to experience this special place.

No customer service, no one greeted us. Just a local couple who wanted to sit on the porch and have a few drinks- finally someone told us they would be right with us, but they never came back. Finally we went directly to the bar but still no one was paying any attention or offering to serve us. There was a very drunk man at the bar, who was trying to get the woman behind the bar (bartender? Waitress? Hostess? Unclear) to do shots with him. She said she would but couldn't because her manager was around. I wish the manager was actually around because then maybe someone might have served us. So we eventually left with no drinks. Just quietly walked out and no staff person noticed or cared. Sad but true... I know this establishment has a good reputation but when they can't even take care of locals, they lose my vote.

We had dinner there last night. Oysters Rockefeller as an appetizer, I had a big, delicious ribeye that I couldn't finish. My wife had the lamb that she liked. Very good place.

My family booked Thanksgiving dinner reservation (11/23/23) at a cost of &70 each. We expected an outstanding meal and were extremely disappointed. Mashed potatoes and squash were cold and lumpy. Turkey consisted of little chunks primarily dark. Perhaps a tablespoon of gravy on potatoes. My own fault for not ordering white meat only on my plate. Ham was tasty but bread stuffing inedible and broccoli not cooked. Soup & sweet bread served but no salad or dinner rolls. I left hungry! We've been Crocker House fans for 30 years and this meal disappointed us all. Tiny slices of pie for dessert served with huge dollop of cream. Should have been the other way. We were so shocked by our meal (my husband got a huge hunk of skin on his plate rather than meat). The waitress at least brought my husband some white meat to take home when she saw what was on his plate. Wait staff was wonderful. We will never go there again for Thanksgiving and will never pay that price again

This place has so much potential but it's lacking in so much! First, I think this place relies heavily on its "location"! It's on a point that is very close to the ocean. From a first impression, you think....jackpot! But once you get in, it's spiraling downhill! Here we go... 1. Right off the bat, the beds....hard like concrete. Old and outdated. I have back issues and my wife woke up every morning tired because she couldn't get comfortable. I woke up stiff and in pain. Asked if another room had a different bed and I was told no. 2. Features are outdated. Shower was very small. I would turn and hit the water controls which would lead to super hot or super cold water. WALLPAPER EVERYWHERE!!! Old wallpaper at that! 3. Breakfast....sufficient but nothing crazy 4. I get that your there for rest and relaxation but we stayed while it rained. A TV would be nice. We spent the evening watching YouTube or other videos. There were a couple pros. 1. Staff was super friendly. The first day, the old man was very nice. The waitresses were eager to get whatever we wanted. My wife was craving chocolate so they got her a piece of chocolate desert. 2. They have a neat bar. Not a great selection but they don't skimp on drinks. I would not recommend this place until some updating is done.

By far the best sea food pasta I have had in a long time!! I'm a local and normally don't eat at local The restaurants because they were overcrowded with vacationers. But I went in January and was just amazed on how amazing the food was! For the price you pay you get a generous amount of food, and the chef on-site knows how to cook his protein. Pasta was fabulous, the salad with the grapes I don't know what sauce was on it but it was delicious and wanted so much more!! Can not wait to go back!!

Wow! Excellent French sauces. Hubby had Filet Tenderloins au poivre. Best he's had. And he eats it at every French place we have been to. Including in France. I had the rack of lamb. Awesomely breaded. 8 chops. Salad, veggies, and house potatoes all come with your entree. House salad dressing was fantastic. Potatoes were like potato lasagna. Layered with a cream and cheese. Top layer was broiled Brown. No way we had room for dessert I had a glass of the Boudreaux. Very nice. Very quaint inside. Lots of parking. Hancock Point. Very romantic. They can also handle larger groups in a bigger dining room Excellent service.

Hm, I remember liking this place as a kid, that was a long time ago.We were put into a crowded loud room in the back of the dinning room. It was a beautiful day and all the windows were closed. Stuffy and uncomfortable and deafeningly loud with all the tables / people packed in so close together. I immediately got a headache. They have a nice piano player and two tables on the other side of the restaurant. When you come in you see that and it's like "wow this is so nice" then you are shoved into a back room that's over crowded. The crab artichoke dip was so bad... it had a puréed texture. The mussels are also served on an old school glass mussel plate instead of on ice. While I appreciate that the plate is cool, the mussels were not cold. Two of them tasted off.

This place holds a special place for the wife and I. We spent our honeymoon here and every New Year's Eve we lived in Maine at this amazing restaurant. Tucked out in Hancock point you have to know what you are looking for to find it. The food is some of the best I have ever had and Richard and the team consistently impress with some of the finest cuisine in Maine. I have been to Fore Street and other popular spots in Portland and would put this beautiful little getaway up against any of them. We are staying in the carriage house and cannot wait for our amazing dinner. More pictures to follow!

Wonderful stay! This B&B gave us the best experience visiting Maine & Bar Harbor, as it is removed from the traffic and chaos but still close enough for an easy drive into town or to Acadia National Park. They allowed dogs which was amazing. Jazz nights, delicious food, accommodating staff and charming ambiance. This place is a gem and we will definitely be back!

The Crocker House has been a Hancock Point institution since the rusticator era; it's charming, comfortably appointed atmosphere is seconded only by its renowned for fine foods and craft cocktails. Located near the Hancock Point wharf and tucked away beside a park and the sea, the Crocker House has hosted numerous weddings, events, and momentous occasions. If you seek solace - yet a true experience for the senses, if you seek coastal cuisine - yet with a little flair, if you seek peace - but can still get to the action, than look no further than the Crocker House.

Went here for a date night. We had the duck and lamb for dinner and two specials for dessert, a cheesecake and a jack Daniels ice cream. Both entries were cooked perfectly, but the roast duck was by far the best thing we ate that night. The lamb was great, but the breading without a sauce gave the impression it was dry, although it wasn't. The cheesecake was the clear winner for dessert. The staff was great, the food amazing, the prices not outrageous. Looking forward to going back next trip up that way.

I'm not quick to give a 5 star review, but this deserves 6! Had dinner here last night and everything from the quiet ambience, the low key setting, the staff and ofcourse the food was excellent! Me and my boyfriend split the baked Brie appetizer, which was delicious and a great starter for two. Then each meal came w/ a small salad that came already dressed which was excellent. My boyfriend had the pork tenderloin dinner, which had a zesty sauce. The meat was tender and perfectly cooked. I had the Veal ( minus the shrimp , they just aren't for me, but I'm sure they are good ) which had a delicious more citrusy sauce. The meat was tender and cooked perfectly. We both had the vegetable side and potatoes. The potatoes were recommended and they were delicious. Creamy and cooked through. And the veggies added a crisp freshness to each dish that paired perfectly. Portion sizes were large. We both had food to take with us! The inn is small, so I recommend a reservation. It's farther from the busy area of Bar Harbor and Ellsworth but definitely worth the trip if you are staying in those areas. I'm in town for another few nights and am thinking of going back, that's how good it was!

We are camping and maybe needed some pampering. Tim and Laura treated us like we were the only two in the dining room. We enjoyed the Jazz trio in the living area over cocktails and then again for dessert. Dinner was delicious. I had the filet and my husband had the steak au poivre. Both cooked to perfection! The salad and potatoes were delicious as well. This is one of the highlights of our trip.

Been coming here for dinner for about 8 years or so now, once per year, when we visit my uncle who lives in a nearby town. We always go to Acadia and Bar Harbor every year for a long weekend and to visit my uncle. (My parents, myself, my husband, and my brother.) We all are foodies and this is one of our favorite meals in the area (second place to a bowl of lobster stew and popovers at the Jordan Pond House.) We are always very impressed by the seafood pasta. Huge portions, perfectly cooked, very tasty. The prices are in the 25-30 dollar range, but well worth it as the portions are generous. The salad and bread are also excellent, as is the service. I have had delicious steaks there in the past, This year, I branched out from the seafood pasta and had an amazing rack of lamb. Highly recommend a dinner at this cute bed and breakfast.

Crocker House is a charming country inn and restaurant. It's our family's favorite Thanksgiving dinner restaurant. It books way in advance and it's a real treat that we look forward to every year. The food is delicious and always perfection. It's a favorite of the summer residents and tourists in a beautiful location on Hancock Point Road in Hancock, Maine.

So, my partner and I show up after the kitchen is closed on a Monday night, and the host/waitress Laura tells us they can't seat us for dinner because the cook has already cleaned the kitchen. We totally understand and thank her and as we are walking out the door, dreading what options we might have in the next closest (tourist trap) town, Laura takes pity on us and graciously offers us a meal of courses that don't require cooking and/or whatever the chef can throw together without messing up the clean kitchen. We were THRILLED! She sat us and brought us shrimp cocktails, salad with a scrumptious homemade vinaigrette, and crusty house bread. Everything was delicious and not once did anyone make us feel like we were an imposition. In fact, Laura and her staff made us feel like we were their favorite costumers, offering us bubbly prosecco and taking our picture for us. To our ecstatic surprise, she also brought us roasted asparagus, luscious potatoes dauphinois, and a BLT that was made all the more delicious by the fact that we knew they were doing everything they could to feed us and make us feel welcomed. After dinner we were given a tour of the rest of the inn and left feeling like we had made lifelong friends. It felt like we were in the most gracious little European family trattoria and made it the most memorable dinner we ever had together. I cannot recommend this place enough! Service, cuisine, and hospitality on point in every way. Thank you Laura and staff!

My boyfriend and I stayed here at the end of July 2016, to take a break from 100 degree texas heat. It was a lovely 82 there. This Inn is a very short distance (easy walk) from the water. We were looking for a quiet getaway and got it! It is adorable. My only thought is that we are used to central air, so our room was a tad warm, but everything else made up for it. Also, breakfast is included every day- a full, hot DELICIOUS breakfast. Very nice staff too.

Gina D.

Yelp
Such a disappointment. The food and ambiance were great. We asked for a dessert menu and when it came there was a tiny WORM on it. My husband got up and showed it to the woman at the desk, who was grossed out by it, but never offered a word of apology or concern. Of course we did not order dessert now, not knowing what would be in it , but once again, nobody said a word as the check was brought and paid. The fact that nobody said anything was almost as big an offense as seeing the WORM after we finished eating. Our mistake I guess for not being more vocal about it.

Very pleasant, peaceful surroundings of the Inn. Staff is attentive and friendly. We love room number 3 with the separate sitting room and a massive four-post bed. The food is incredible with very large portions.

Pete S.

Overpriced and lacking in quality. We have been hearing great things about the Crocker House for several years from our friends. We dined there with them upon our arrival for our annual stay in the area in late August. The service was excellent. We had the filet medallions and the scallops. The scallops were very good. The beef looked like it had been carved from both ends of the tenderloin and was tough and full of gristle. We were looking to finish our visit with coffee and cappuccino. Unfortunately the cappuccino machine was out of service. Our server was not aware of that at first. For the costs incurred it was a very disappointing visit.

The food & service was good & we had a lovely time, however we did not find the the food to be extraordinary, especially considering the cost involved. The portions were large, however my husband described the seafood pasta as "mediocre at best" I had the scallops and they were good but not great, my mother LOVED the salmon, my dad had the lamb which was vey good but not the best any of us had tried. I was also a little disappointed that they did not pack the potato portion of my meal with my left overs. I'm sure a lot of people would like this place a lot however we found the food to be just a little too regular to earn our 5 star review.

My wife and I had our dream wedding reception at the Crocker House Country Inn in June--it could not have been more perfect. The Crocker House staff went above and beyond to make it a magical weekend for our guests--ever attentive, accommodating, professional, and kind. No detail was overlooked and the Crocker House catering staff worked together in seamless, almost choreographed movements to deliver mouth watering appetizers (bacon wrapped scallops, endive boats with chèvre and honey drizzle, grilled chorizo...yum!) Everyone is STILL talking about the food: "Best food I've ever had at a wedding!" "Best food I've ever had...period!" "We're coming back for dinner tomorrow." "I have to get the recipe for the potatoes Dauphinois!" "I'm going back for thirds!" Rich and his catering team really outdid themselves. Rich was flexible, easy going, and gave us great advice/support during the reception/menu planning process. He's been an innkeeper/event caterer for a long time and has a well-informed sense of how large a tent you will need/how many appetizers you should serve/how many food stations/etc. He helped us to plan a menu that represented 'us' (our favorite dishes) and highlighted local/in-season ingredients whilst staying in our budget. One of the many beautiful things about this charming and cozy place is that each guest is treated like family. Two of our wedding guests were pleasantly surprised when they called to find out if the Inn was pet friendly (many B&Bs aren't these days). The Crocker House welcomed a St. Bernard and a Rottie! We had a lovely reception on Saturday, dancing the night away (even the staff joined in) and a delicious, intimate Sunday brunch to share our favorite memories from the wedding. On top of the generously portioned and varied spread of brunch delights, the Crocker House staff graciously prepared a special order of eggs benedict for my wife (not on the menu) because it is her favorite--other guests followed suit and the staff happily obliged. If that's not getting the family treatment, I don't know what is. The greatest gift of our wedding was getting to share a place that has become so special to us with our family and friends and having them fall in love with it, too. Many of our guests are already planning a return trip to the Crocker House. If you're planning a wedding, check out the Crocker House--you won't regret it.

The service here was really nice. We had some difficulty getting a reservation Friday night but the manager, Tim, assured us a reservation with a view of the garden the next night. While the portions were huge and salad was included, the prices are way too high for the quality of food. We got scallops, which I thought were rubbery and haphazardly plated, and the seafood pasta. I hate to say we were disappointed, but we were. Two stars for the food, but again, the service was above and beyond.

The food is amazing with large portion sizes. Wait time was long with only one waiter and bartender for a week night meal. Atmosphere was quaint and music was relaxing. I would highly recommend it for any special occasion. Entrees priced thirty dollars and up but worth the price.

My wife and I have been coming here for years -- once or twice a year, or more when we can. The choice of main dishes is good (10 I believe), the food is delicious, cooked perfectly, presented well, and priced reasonably for what you get ($25-$35) -- good portions (yummy salad and warm bread included, with one or two sides with most dishes). I have not found an equal to the seafood pasta anywhere, including Boston and other major city restaurants (and I've looked ...), and the filet au poivre is also awesome, and duck (when they have it), filet mignon, and other dishes are all good, and we've had them all. I'm still not sure how they cook lobster, shrimp, and scallops perfectly at the same time for the seafood pasta. Deserts are also tasty, and the homemade lemon sorbet is uniquely yummy and a perfect finisher for me. The service is also good, and nice full bar with a good selection -- our waitress a few days ago was super nice, attentive (not overly), and informative about the food. The atmosphere is slightly upscale -- most people dress up a bit when going -- and cozy/comfortable -- good for a romantic meal or discussion with friends and family over fantastic food. There is also a cozy waiting area with a couch and tables near the bar for just drinks, or waiting for others to join. We recently had a meal with two friends from the Boston area who are both career chefs, and they were both impressed with the food, value, and ambience, and will likely demand to go again next year when they come to visit us in the summer. :) They also stayed in a room at the Inn, which was comfy/romantic, and got some sort of food + boarding deal that included breakfast, and a dish at dinner. The only downside I can think of about the Crocker House is that they don't serve "late," but that's more of a rural vs. city thing.
