South Bristol is one of those few midcoast towns stuck in time and dining at this restaurant is like going back to an old friend's house for a relaxing meal on a lazy evening near a cove. All tables are on their home's patio. The food is not adventurous but it's classically prepared and presented. Not cheap but not exorbitant and the minimal wine list is carefully chosen and remarkably affordable. Our menu was a bright summer salad, buttery soft chateaubriand, and cheesecake. The modestly sized plates were licked clean but, personally, I would have liked slightly larger salad or app. If they have their housemade Limoncello, order it! The owners are magnificent hosts. A delightful evening.

On balance, a good experience. Good Location. However it is not inexpensive and some things…read moreshould be considered. Here's a few things to note: Very small bathroom with minute bar of soap & shampoo. Had to buy my own at drugstore. No bottled water in the room No bathrobes Only 1 small trash can in the bathroom Ask if your room must be accessed by 2 or 3 flights of stairs. Luggage transfer somewhat difficult. Very limited electrical outlets for charging multiple devices. Limited, tight parking spaces. Don't be late for the 8:30 AM (sharp) breakfast or it may be cold or gone.

A great spot in mid-coast Maine to enjoy flora from around the world. It's large enough that you…read morecan spend a day there, but not too large that you feel like you can't see enough of it. If you enjoy a bit of a scavenger hunt, they have these huge wooden troll sculptures scattered throughout the park that are fun to hunt down and makes sure you get your steps in. I mean, they're clearly marked on the map and on signs, but we enjoyed finding the right paths to see all of them. Definitely take your pictures but don't take too long in front of them so other visitors can get theirs! The park is very accessible for people of all mobility levels, and the less accessible/steeper paths are clearly labeled. Most of the paths have a slow rise and fall, so they're not strenuous. They have little features like waterfalls, a meditation garden, a town of fairy houses, sculptures, information on conservation and the local indigenous tribes, a dock into the bay that you can walk out to, a butterfly garden, and kinetic sculptures (some of which you can make music with). Also highly recommend stopping by their cafe! We ended up eating lunch there and were happy that they had a number of vegetarian and vegan options. The lentil soup was so tasty, particularly on a more temperate summer day. The Botanical Gardens are a must visit!
