New American Restaurants near Castine, ME

“Such a wonderful place to stay! My cousins and I take a trip each year and this year we visited Castine, Maine. We stayed for several evenings at the Pentagöet Inn and were treated to such a magical location. The atmosphere is majestic, the rooms are so clean, nice and personal touches with so many details creating an environment catered to guests comfort, and the Inn is decorated in time piece antiques paying homage to the history of the Inn. The dinner menu is so delicious and made with wholesome home grown or locally sourced ingredients with an emphasis of pleasing anyone’s palate. And then the specialty drinks! Wow! And to top it all off. The in room massages by Jenny! We cannot wait to go back next year!!! Thank you Matt, George, Joyce and the rest of the staff for taking such great care of us and all of the guests that visit the Inn. It is truly a home away from home. 5 -Star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Buck's Restaurant is beyond a 5 Star restaurant. Having traveled the world over the last 30 Years, I've been fortunate enough to dine at some pretty amazing, top of the top, restaurants. Buck's Restaurant is at the very top of my list now. When you step into Buck's, you immediately feel a sense of elegance, and creative style all around you. I started off with Alaskan Snow crab as an appetizer. It was delightfully out of this world. Presented beautifully, with yuzu beurre blanc sauce, it looked and tasted so great, just right! Next up, a blood orange vinaigrette salad. The salad was refreshing and felt like an energetic, splash of light. A refreshing and uplifting adventure, so tasty, I was all in! The main course was the Rack of Lamb. I was absolutely floored by how delicious and captivating this Main Course was. You can tell that the Lamb was of the highest caliber of meat one can wish to dine on. Cooked perfectly, this was one of my very favorite dishes I've ever eaten. I've traveled to Greece and I can say without a doubt, this was the best lamb I have ever had. Presented with crushed pistachios and a tasteful amount of hot honey, accompanied by some of the tastiest pureed potatoes one could wish to have. I was in pure ecstasy eating this fabulously rich and filling dish. At this point, I wasn't sure I would have any room for dessert. However, there was no way I could pass up trying Buck's Chocolate Mousse. Chef Phil Le Breton informed me that the Mousse was made from a select batch of Belgian Chocolate. I believe him, I was in my glory. My taste buds experienced a perfectly sweet, seductive chocolate mousse that just was frankly heaven. If you want the very best, look no further than Buck's Restaurant. It's privately cool, the food is creative and expertly prepared. The staff is highly professional, always there when you need them, but a focus on giving you the privacy and space to enjoy your company and meal. Hands down, my favorite restaurant.“
