    Restaurant info

    Full service dining on the banks of the historic Union River. Featuring locally sourced ingredients prepared in the traditional downeast fashion. Prepared and served by locals by a family with decades of experience. Off the beaten path, yet close to downtown, this setting features wildlife such as eagles, osprey, ducks, seals, and blue Herons. Diners enjoy seafood that is hours from harvest as well as organic produce from local farms. Locally brewed beers and our famous homemade Wild Maine Blueberry Pie are what memories are made of.
