This is a gem of a restaraunt hidden away in a lovely neighborhood in Ogunquit, Maine. They are running a Sunday Seafood feast which was great and only $19.00 each. Deal of the century. The service and wine selection are top notch.

The food has taken a bit of a decline from what we have experienced over the past 20 years. The service was very good, but now that it is part of the Auberge Collection, we noticed a slight decline from when it was part of the Relais et Chateaux Collection. Dinner for 4 adults came to $1,250 (including tip) with only one cocktail or glass of wine per person.
