Rediscover Maine dining. Native ingredients honor Maine’s indelible heritage. By partnering with local fisherman, farmers, distillers, and ranchers, The Tiller Restaurant combines the region’s distinctive culture and tradition with culinary innovation and sustainable practices for authentic and nuanced dining experiences.

Upscale contemporary design meets with charming rustic elements, combined with a bright and inviting dining destination surrounded by ocean views suspended over the cliffs. Seasonal breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus are prepared with farm-fresh local produce, line-caught fish, hand cut meats, and homemade recipes passed down from generation to generation.

During the month of August, the restaurant will have limited availability for non-resort guests.

    We were there to celebrate my mom's 85th birthday. The staff, especially Faith, were outstanding. They went above and beyond to treat my mom to an experience she'll never forget. We had a great time, the food was terrific, and we couldn't have asked for better as far as being treated as if we were truly special.

    Tonight, I had the pleasure of dining at Tiller House for a date night with my wife, and it exceeded all our expectations. We were searching for a unique restaurant to make our evening special, and Tiller House was a pleasant surprise. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the awesome view that set the perfect backdrop for our night. The ambience was very nice—elegant yet cozy—making us feel right at home. The service was exceptional, a notch above other restaurants we’ve visited; the staff was attentive and genuinely friendly. And the food? Simply delectable. Tiller House has definitely earned a spot at the top of our list for special occasions. If you’re looking for a dining experience that’s a cut above in the Seacoast, I highly recommend giving Tiller House a try.

    My husband and I enjoyed a lovely dinner at the Tiller to celebrate our anniversary. Each member of the staff was truly a professional and the service was truly exceptional. We sat at the bar for cocktails and the martini that was delivered was cold, dry, and delicious! Our table by the windows have a fabulous view of the ocean. I ordered the scallops over lobster fried rice which was amazing. My husbands filet was cooked to perfection. We both enjoyed a decadent chocolate confection that was wonderful treat to celebrate our anniversary.
