I ate in the casual part of the restaurant last evening. I had the chicken pot pie. It was dark meat rubbery. I could not eat it. The dessert (a limited two options) was mediocre and the coffee tart.

Went here because we’d heard it was great food and were not impressed. Food was so mid, could cook better stuff at home, wildly overpriced and pretentious. Very pretentious atmosphere.

Portions were tiny and you could get so much better food at more affordable restaurants around portland like Leeward. Employees were wonderful but it felt like they were scared of management or the head chef or something. Like always looking over their shoulder.

Save yourself the $ and go somewhere else for dinner. If this is where rich people go for dinner, it’s just further proof rich people have no taste.

Darling place! Bartender was great and food was really good. But the hostess was another story. Felt very unwelcome and was almost uncomfortable being there. Can go somewhere more hospitable to drop $200 for a meal! Wasn’t worth it fir the lack of hospitality.

To say this was a memorable experience would be an understatement!. The ambiance and service was exceptional . The food was across the board fantastic. The pear dessert was a must. I will stay awake trying to figure out the process of creating that dessert!

Phenomenal food. Best we've had in a while for a fancier style restaurant. Lindsey our waitress was amazing and attentive to our needs, always. WBI has some great staff and all cater to your every need right from the get go, from start to finish.

The cuisine was delicious, the space was romantic and inviting, with a live pianist on this particular Saturday, the service was magic, engaging, tossed in with lots of laughable moment's (we made some members of the restaurant crack a smile and at one moment, burst of out loud laugh with us). A fabulous time was had all around. We absolutely recommend this place.

Outstanding service and ambience as always. Great hostess that attended to us. Food was delicious. The Lobster tasting menu was a special experience and my wife got the prix fixe with 3 fewer courses but she also enjoyed it.

Food was outstanding, however service missed in two respects Water glasses stayed almost empty for most of the meal. Wine bottle was placed (appropriately) in a wine cooler, but was left on table out of easy reach. Wait staff did not refill glasses.

A unique and quaint venue. Nice variety of course selection, the quality of each was world class. The servers set a nice and relaxing pace for the meal. One of the best dining experiences we've ever enjoyed!

If you are looking for a truly special place to spend an evening, this is it. The setting is beautiful, the staff is incredibly attentive, and the food is out of this world. The waiter was extremely helpful with the wine selections, which were all spot on. Be prepared to spend, but be rest assured it's worth it!

We did the 8 course chefs tasting menu for all 4 of us. The drinks were tasty, and service was fantastic. The food, unfortunately, was lackluster, and many of us skipped courses bc they were just not good. We have had the chefs tasting menu at other Auberge restaurants and it was much better: more cohesive flow, more personalized with the chef coming out to present the courses, etc. For the price it was absolutely not worth it.

If this restaurant wasn't 257 miles from my home in CT I'd want to have every celebration there for the next decade!!! Rustic elegance with imaginative cuisine. And by imaginative, I mean inspired and delicious without peculiar combinations.

Beautiful, not noisy, subtle lighting, great piano. Excellent service~ we had an amazing foie gras to start with and then it went downwards.. the mini lobster roll was nothing to rave about. My main course was a very dull halibut loaf that had no taste. My husband had the rabbit, passable. Overall we loved the experience but the food doesn't justify the price~

Elizabeth

Another fabulous meal and dining experience at the White Barn. As usual the service was stellar and food heavenly. I was surprised that some guests did not adhere to the dress code, and were underdressed but that's my only complaint.

Laura

Exquisite meal in a gorgeous setting and wonderful service. So many friendly people here! Our server was professional and kind and everyone else was just so nice. Great food and we will be back!
