Food was great. The portions were awesome. And I would hit the mousse with a smart car.

Loved everything about our stay at the Cornish Inn! The hospitality and warmth from the staff throughout our stay was so wonderful and appreciated. Our room was perfectly clean and had everything we needed. The inn is from the 1800s, and they've done a beautiful job at maintaining the antiquity in a modern way. It was so cool to hear the church bells and look out our bedroom window to see the picturesque street below. Breakfast at Lindsay's was also delicious! We plan to return and highly recommend!!

The bed was SOOO uncomfortable - we could feel the springs in the mattress. The whole room was tilted, and when we first laid on the bed, we literally rolled towards one side. There were also nails sticking up from the old creaking floorboards. Very dangerous. Additionally there are no coffee machines or ways to make tea in the rooms, you have to go down to the lobby. Both mornings, the one coffee carafe was either empty or cold. The walls are super thin, so you can hear everyone downstairs, in the halls and as they enter the building. It's too bad because the woman who runs it seems very nice, it's a historic building, it feels quaint when you first look walk in. New beds, new pillows, and coffee in the rooms would make a big difference.

Stay elsewhere! A quaint decor is no excuse of an OLD WORN SPRING MATTRESS. You can put old quilt covers on NEW mattresses and still achieve the aesthetic you're going for, but I feel like "it's supposed to be old" is an excuse used here to cheap out on not staying updated. If you're an Inn, GOOD PILLOWS and a NICE BED are the MOST important thing and on our second night sleeping there I woke up and had a thought I've NEVER had at 3am "oh good, only a few more hours of this bed before I can get out of here". No joke, I sat on the toilet for a while just to give my spine a break. The room is massively tilted, so much so that I had to shim our bed with hand towels so that it was level enough to comfortably sleep in and I cut my foot on the exposed flooring nails which have not been re-sunk even though the floor is caving in beside the bed. NOT charming. You'd think in 2023, when a coffee maker is $40, you could have one in each room, but NO, you'll have to get dressed and make your way to the single pump carafe in the lobby for your 4oz teacup of lukewarm coffee, but be sure to get there early! because it runs out an isn't refilled. At least get a bigger coffee carafe for an entire inn full of people! Maybe the owners should punish themselves by staying in their own rooms so they can wrap their minds around what might be important updates to provide an enjoyable stay. Hopefully they use the money from our visit to re-invest in a new bed.

I brought my family here for their regular breakfast hours after Alex and Lindsay absolutely blew us away with a private dinner tasting. Lovely spot to eat breakfast. My family greatly enjoyed the food. The servers were attentive and polite, and the dining room was beautiful. I had the blueberry crumble waffle special, and it was just delightful.
Lindsay's at Cornish Inn is a wonderful gourmet restaurant with unique takes on traditional favorites. Eggs Benedict with Corned Beef Hash and home fries is outstanding! Lindsay's also has a great Monte Cristo sandwich with perfect french toast, delicious cheese, and apple slices. The hamburger is gourmet level. Steak tips sandwich is very tasty. Everything on the menu is expertly done.

The food and service was great! 5 stars as noted above.The acoustics of the restaurant make the conversation at tables very loud so it's hard to hear the conversation at your own. I've noticed this the 2 times I've eaten there.Parking: There is only street parking if you are not a guest.

We hosted my son’s rehearsal dinner at Lindsay’s and it was above and beyond my expectations and those of our guests. Many commented on how delicious everything was. Situated in the Cornish Inn, it’s cozy and charming ambience and its idyllic setting made for a perfect Maine experience for our 34 guests., Lindsay is an amazing chef and truly the “queen of charcuterie boards.” Using the best of farm-to-table foods, her specially prepared menu included greens with pears and apples, toasted walnuts in a honey fig vinaigrette; chicken rouland with goat cheese, pine nuts, and baby spinach; smoked seasonal vegetables (utterly fantastic); cracked pinto potatoes, all culminating with the best apple pie ever, topped with local Shaker Pond Vanilla ice cream. The staff was wonderful, helpful and kind! I highly recommend Lindsay’s for any special event! Thank you Lindsay, Alex, Dianne and Martine.

Beautiful view, tranquil place to have breakfast and a great menu with delicious food. Unfortunately the service is insanely slow as a result of being understaffed. Our food order wasn't correct and our waitress didn't know because she never once came back to ask. The last item arrived at the table when we were done eating. 3 stars.
