We had a wonderful experience. From the atmosphere to the food itself. The food is some of the best I’ve ever had. I had the gnocchi and my boyfriend had the steak - our jaws were on the floor. The drinks from the bar met the same standard as the food. The building, decor and aesthetic were so beautiful and unique. The staff were very friendly, prompt, and attentive. We loved Aster & Rose and will absolutely be back again!

This old farmhouse is one nice restaurant! It doesn't look like a restaurant from the road, but don't pass it by if you want a nice meal. Reservations required. We had the burrata appetizer, the Halibut, and the bolgnese. All were excellent and nicely presented. Service was on point and the decor is cozy. We've driven past this place for years and finally gave it a try. Will be back! Our new favorite restaurant in the area. Prices are reasonable... our meal, with a glass of wine, was just over $100

One of the best restaurant experiences in Maine. Lovely quiet setting; gracious service; delicious and creative food. I had the carrot salad either fennel, the duck breast and shared two fabulous desserts with the table — a chocolate custard and a rhubarb cake. Went to the Alna Store a day before and had a disastrous time. This was nirvana in comparison.

This is one of those hidden gems that you find in an unexpected place. Definitely one of the better restaurants we've been to in Maine.. The people are great, the food is off the charts and it's such a quaint pretty little old in.

We enjoy dining at Aster & Rose so much that we tell all of our guests to dine there as well! Chef Michael and Karrie and their entire staff are so gracious. They offer amazing service and a rotating delicious dinner menu with fresh, seasonal offerings. The bar offerings are well thought out. Don't miss their cocktails, too! We are so lucky to have them in our community. Reservations encouraged and recommended. Enjoy!

The Aster and Rose Restaurant was magnificent. We started by splitting the Caesar Salad. Different then any other I have had. Upon the second bite we both agreed it was excellent. Not your normal but really good. Husband had the duck which was really flavorful came with rice and wilted greens with an Asian sauce. He loved it I had the Halibut with capers and Polenta and Asparagus. It was amazing. We also split a dessert, it was the rhubarb cake with strawberries and Anise Hyssop ice cream. Absolutely a must to try. The waitresses were very personable and attentive. The specialty drink I had was really good. Again a very special evening.
The wait staff was attentive and friendly. I can't wait to come back. The Chef is amazing.

Our experience at Aster & Rose was truly exceptional. Neil, Liz, and Mary provided excellent service throughout the evening. The house-made focaccia was perfect, our appetizers and meals were also amazing as well. This was our first time and will surely not be our last.

Superb service and wonderful food. A somewhat limited menu, but enough variation to allow appealing choices. We had the Seafood Agnolotti that was simply delightful. The olive oil cake for dessert was perfect - we had no idea what to expect and were very pleasantly surprised.

The facility is a bit dark, not a deal breaker just an observation.

Wow! What a fantastic dinner we had at Aster & Rose. Wonderful setting and service above and beyond. Mary met us at the door and immediately made us feel like family. Warm and inviting. Our server Liz, described dishes and answered all of our questions. She was attentive without being smothering. She was friendly and kind. We started with the chicken liver pate with blueberries and pistachios. While it may not sound like your cup of tea I suggest giving it a try. Amazing flavors and complexity in texture and taste. I went with the halibut which was the best fish dish I have had in my life. Had it been cooked 30 seconds more or less it wouldn’t have been the same. Sheer perfection on the cook. Buttery and tender with just the right amount of seasoning. Served on polenta and kale in a lemon butter sauce with capers. My wife chose the stuffed shrimp and crab in a pasta ravioli that was sweet and tender. Exceptional flavors and presentation. Served with an excellent Chardonnay and sparkling water. Then we finished it all off with the olive oil cake served with fresh pineapple and coconut ice cream. I can’t say enough positive about this place. If I lived in the area I would be here weekly! Give this place a try. You won’t be disappointed. The best!
