Restaurants near Thompson Island Information Center

I love this restaurant, but the last few visits there’s been a problem with the food temperature. I had short ribs and my short ribs were impeccable. The temperature was perfect, but all the other pieces with it ….the purée,the carrots and the potatoes were all cool. They were not anywhere near warm enough so they’ve got to figure that out…. maybe warming up the plates? On my last visit my soup was cool and I should’ve sent it back, but of course the dishes are so beautifully plated and the soup had decorations on top, but I’m not the only one that has had a problem with temperature. I was at lunch with a friend and she had the same problem with her soup so the cook must get a plan. I can’t be the only one that’s having problems with the food temperature. 

The vibe was wonderful. Setting was cozy and chic. Food was spectacular. Pasta was so fresh and flavorful! Definitely returning!

Sweet place, cozy on a winter evening. Made a reservation and happy that a preference for a hearing impaired guest was honored. Our first visit-food good and we will return. Found waitstaff a little intrusive consistently interrupting our conversation and offering “recommendations” that were not requested. For example, “the lamb will take 30 minutes, so we recommend an appetizer.” Waiter was attentive, all orders accurate and even did something to turn down heat when we said we were uncomfortable with it blasting on us. So mostly very good!!

Definitely a fine experience! The food, service, the atmosphere were all you’d expect from a world class restaurant. Everyone was accommodating and friendly. Wish we could dine here on a regular basis!

Amazing find on our way from Bangor to Portland. Stopped for lunch and had amazing oysters and first lobster roll! Cocktails very creative and tasty and service was awesome.
