    GOLDEN BEET - Fountain Farm Golden Beet Soup, Pickled Blueberry, Duck Fat, House Creme Fraiche, Nasturtium Green Puree - with Fennel Pollan
    Charlie B.

    We've visited Aragosta Restaurant on Deer Isle, Maine before... but always in Autumn. This year, July's "Ode to Summer" menu mostly featured lighter seafood dishes, and why not? It doesn't get any more "New England Seafood" than the Deer Isle / Stonington areas. This was a remarkable experience from start to finish. The staff is mostly very young, friendly, yet well-polished. The room and the views are gorgeous. And we loved every bite. Take a look at the treats Chef Devin Finigan and her team presented: TASTE OF LOCAL SEAWEED - Nori Tamagoyaki, Laver & Toasted Sesame Cracker, Fried Dulse THE COLD SEA - Aragosta Oyster - Green Apple, Fennel & Thai Basil Juice, Fresh Apple / Maine Fluke Crudo - Lemon Verbena Kombucha, Fresh Local Strawberry, Cucumber Granita / Maine Peekytoe Crab - Corn Croustade with Crab Salad, Butter Poached Claw PEN BAY SCALLOP - Cultured Butter with Aleppo Chili and Dulse cooked over the Hearth (I'm told the butter will be featured in their Cookbook, coming soon) LOBSTER BAKE - Stonington Lobster, Hominy, Charred Corn, Lobster Butter & Chives Topped with Corn & Espelette Espuma - with Old Bay Waffle Chips GOLDEN BEET - Fountain Farm Golden Beet Soup, Pickled Blueberry, Duck Fat, House Creme Fraiche, Nasturtium Green Puree - with Fennel Pollan Focaccia & House Sumac Ricotta AGNOLOTTI - Stonington Lobster Agnolotti, Mascarpone, Gremolata, Beurre Blanc, Pea Shoot Salad FRIED DEER ISLE CLAMS - Seasoned Cornmeal Dredge, Gochugaru Aioli, Fine Line Farm Cucumber & Baby Courgette, Sesame Vinaigrette, Red Orach COD - Maine Cod, Vadouvan Curry with Coconut Milk & Lime Leaf, Flowering Cauliflower, Sugar Snaps, Green Beans STRAWBERRY - Local Strawberry & Anise Hyssop Sorbet, Olive Oil Mousse ZUCCHINI BREAD - Puff Pastry, Zucchini Pastry Cream, Charred Corn Custard, Sweetened Ricotta, Zucchini Jam, Thyme Flowers, Elderflowers, Micro Basil What a meal! Thanks to everyone involved especially Chef Devin Finigan and GM Dan Marchese

    One of the best restaurants in this part of Maine... and for good reason Here is what you should know: 1. Make a reservation 2. Delicious seasonal fare so be ready to feel more connected to the local food 3. Good portion size 4. Excellent service 5. Wonderful wedding and event venue, especially in the warmer months with the lake view

    I don't say this lightly: Aragosta is easily one of the best dining experiences I've ever had--top three of my life, no question. We did the Chef's Tasting Menu with the premium wine pairing and chef's selection add-on, and from start to finish, it was a masterclass in flavor, presentation, and hospitality. Each course was thoughtful and balanced, from the briny, delicate seafood opener ("The Cold Sea") to the decadent short rib with mole and tomatillo that practically stopped time. The "Ode to Summer" menu is poetry in edible form. Highlights included: * Perfectly seared bluefin tuna with pepita and baby squash * Lobster agnolotti in beurre blanc that I'll be dreaming about for months * A whimsical ending of strawberry shortcake with a twist of seaweed (yes, it worked--and wow) What elevated this experience even further was getting to chat with Chef Devin Finigan. Her passion for food and for this restaurant radiates in every bite. It's rare to see that level of heart, skill, and soul all in one place. The space itself? Warm, intimate, and perfectly coastal-Maine chic. Beautiful wood tables, elegant plating, and a staff that clearly loves what they do. This isn't just a meal--it's a culinary memory. If you're within 100 miles of Deer Isle or Bar Harbor, make the drive. Aragosta is a gem that deserves national recognition. Pro tip: Go for the full tasting with pairings and let go. Trust the process. You won't regret a single bite.

    Beautiful setting, incredible food presented as a work of art. The chef provided many little extras in addition to the nine course tasting menu. Lots of seating options - dine alone, at a communal table or at one of the fairy-like greenhouses. We were full to the brim at the end. Worth it!!
