I just attended my first cooking class at Stone Turtle, and it was terrific. The set-up is…read moreexcellent. The class was only ten people and we were all seated around one large work table, so we were able to hear and see everything. The demonstration and hands-on parts of the class were both very well done. The food was delicious! We had plenty to eat during the day, and they sent us home with food. I can't wait to return for another class!

We went to one of the farm to table dinners and Do not waste your money. It was my birthday dinner…read moreand was so disorganized, everybody was leaving plates of food cause it was inedible and it took forever. You eat family style which isnt my fave but in particular really isnt my fave if youre starving and running on a few 2oz shots of cider as there is no beer, wine, full pours of anything or even water? We sat at the end of the table and when the main entree (chicken) came out it was put in the middle so by the time it got to us we got about 2 bites of gristly thigh- and then the "chef" had the audacity to ask if we were full?! It was pretty clear that there was no edible chicken or pureed vegetables by the time it got down to us so when they cleared plates that didnt have food it should have gone without saying. We had to go home and order a pizza, mainly cause this took so long everything was closed. For the price point you could actually eat food you wanted almost anywhere else in Maine. I didnt feel comfortable complaining as it is generally not necessary in fine dining establishments and would have been rude in such a setting, particularly as we were sat next to a business associate of the chef. Such a disappointment.

The atmosphere, farm animals, cocktail hour-like intimate setting before dinner were unique and enjoyable. I think this is what really contributed to the experience. It is really unlike any other dining experience I've had. The farm is just breathtaking. And the views of the Maine mountains is perfect. Watching sunset was such a. Treat at this quiet little rural farm. The hosts/owners bob and Mary are impressive to say the least. We got to meet their dog along with cool farm animals while sipping on some cocktails. At 645 Mary called us to dinner. It was truly like being at a dinner party at a family friends. This was not your typical night out for dinner. The food was phenomenal and so high class and delicious. It's a weekly menu. Always changing. I can't express how special this place is. Thank you for such a great dinner.
