Our contemporary New England cuisine has been rooted in the local and seasonal long before they were the mots du jour on menus across the country. At our AAA Five Diamond, Forbes Five Star restaurant, we showcase incredible ingredients sourced through specially cultivated relationships with the farmers, fishermen and foragers of coastal Maine and just beyond for beautifully-presented, always inspired dishes that encapsulate the very essence of our spectacular setting.

We have a smart casual dress code; jackets are preferred, but not required. Shorts, sportswear, and flip-flops are forbidden in the dining room.

    Staff was great and food was good, but not great. Not particularly unique or inventive and for the price it should be a culinary experience. Felt it was overpriced given everything.

    The ambience was exactly what we were looking for!!! The lighting created a cozy relaxed feeling. There was a piano playing nice Christmas music in the background. Service was spot on!

    We go to the White Barn Inn twice a year, and enjoy it very much, every single time! So beautiful, and elegant. Fantastic menu, and even better tasting food. The service is always friendly, attentive, and fast.

    Was lovely as usual. We have come here on and off for 40 years and it doesn't disappoint. I love to cook and experiment, and enjoy the culinary experience I as I always get new ideas. It is very expensive so it is not something we do all the time even though we live in KPT. My only criticism is that it is hard to finish the meal with the appetizers, interludes and the main course. By the time we get to the main course, I wish it was a little less.
