This Rustic Forest Restaurant Serves Maine’s Most Legendary Steak Dinners

Maine’s dining options are some of the best in New England. From lobster shacks to sushi, you can dine out in Maine every night of the week without having the same meal twice. While the bigger towns and cities offer plenty from which to choose, we love getting off the beaten path to try some of the other options in Vacationland. This spot never disappoints!

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/

Tony Rossi and Heidi Donovan bought the farmhouse that's since been converted into their dream restaurant with the goal of creating something special. Today they serve a large menu focused on seasonal ingredients that are locally sourced.

They raise their own pigs and goats and the seafood comes from the Gulf of Maine. Things here are special, but there's one thing we always look for on the menu...

It's always cooked to perfection and with a menu that changes daily, there's always something new.

We suspect the taste comes from the focus on local ingredients handpicked to be the best.
