About this restaurant

  • Fancy
  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    The food has taken a bit of a decline from what we have experienced over the past 20 years. The service was very good, but now that it is part of the Auberge Collection, we noticed a slight decline from when it was part of the Relais et Chateaux Collection. Dinner for 4 adults came to $1,250 (including tip) with only one cocktail or glass of wine per person.

    No one at the welcome desk to greet guests or take coats, and no one at the main desk came to assist. Seated 25 min late for an 8 PM reservation. Waitress was friendly but didn’t pay attention to details. The best person on staff was the very nice young woman who cleared the courses and discussed the dishes. The crab-lemon appetizer is fabulous! The fois gras macaron was very disappointing. Unlike the past, the butter poached lobster was tough. The Cherry Bomb dessert was fabulous! 2 out of 4? Overall, disappointing. We hadn’t dined in the primary room in years; didn’t realize how much the quality and elegance had suffered. Still pretty, but not like it used to be.

    Honestly, the best meal we’ve enjoyed in Maine living here for nearly 20 years. Both my wife and I come from the culinary industry and have eaten in some extremely high level restaurants and this meal and experience at the White Barn was one of the best of our lives! Can’t wait to go back. This was not our first time to the White Barn. This was the first time in quite a while. The new chef and ownership have taken this establishment to a whole other level. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Food was delicious and service was good. I miss some of the little touches they used to do - Line of staff greeting on arrival, assisting with chairs and placing napkins when returning from restroom, and the little palette cleanser sorbet.

    Fabulous dinner at the White Barn. The Peeky Toe Crab and the Foie Gras mousse were both spectacular. I think I’ll be dreaming about the Foie Gras mousse it was so good. Lovely service too. The wait staff were all super.
