If you are in Freeport shopping I would recommend you drive to Portland for dinner but if the weather is bad or you are tired I would recommend the tavern at the hotel. The dining room has a nice atmosphere but the food although nicely presented on the menu, simply fails to live up to expectations. The Lobster crepes are so awash in sauce and mushrooms that you really can't taste whether there is lobster or not. The duck was a good choice but again very simply done and the accompanying rice was awash in butter. We also had breakfast which was even more disappointing. Again, the tavern is a better dining choice if ou are at the hotel.
The appetizers we ordered were delicious, and the service was truly commendable. For instance, when we requested two glasses of wine, the waitress offered us a quick taste before serving them. My wife wasn’t fond of one of the options, and the waitress promptly allowed us to select another wine without any hesitation or embarrassment. We appreciated that greatly!
All in all, we had a wonderful evening. The next time we return to Freeport, this restaurant will definitely be on our list of places to revisit.
Don't be intimidated by the formal appearance of this restaurant...the focus is on the wonderful, fresh, local food! (They won't turn you away just because you forgot to bring your Sunday best on vacation! You can tell the people here are passionateabout their work. The wait staff are very attentive and knowledgeable too.
Our dinner was fantastic, largely thanks to the warm and welcoming staff. Carlos, our waiter, was attentive without being intrusive. The food was excellent, beginning with the potato leek soup. The presentation of the grilled scallops was impressive. Overall, it's a wonderful place to dine in Freeport, Maine.

We had been to the restaurant the last time we were in Freeport but didn't remember the name. So we reserved through Open Table thinking it was somewhere new. Good dinner, romantic surroundings, lovely inn.
One of the best restaurant experiences I've had, and I've eaten there 3-4 times. Highly recommended for a romantic and/or special occasion.
Great place . The staff is wonderful. Still has the quaint New England feel when you stay there. Afternoon tea is deightful.
Good food, great drinks, tavern environment, and good service. The tavern is not a part of the Maine Dining Room.
