On Ellsworth’s main drag, this restaurant is a slam-dunk for a romantic date night. As with many coastal Maine restaurants, the menu here is driven by the seasons and changes often. Standbys include Wagyu sirloin with house-made frites, pistachio-encrusted cod, and squid-ink linguine. Their prix fixe brunch is consistently dynamite and typically includes three courses. The smoked salmon hashbrowns are a standout.
