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.

So much to say here.... but ill summarize by revisiting the recent history of this Masterpiece of a location. The current owners fell in love, were married at this very location..... felt strongly enough to share this uniqie treasure with the world, that they purchased Boothbay Playhouse to create perfect memories for all those who see its charm and beauty. And this my dear friends, is exactly how they operate and what you can expect. Absolutely perfect wedding venue, rain or shine. Still have a wedding hangover from the amazing memories created on May 10th. 2025. John, Sarah and their staff are the best. Make the call, you'll be glad you did.

A lot of attention and work has taken place this Spring. The bunkers have been revitalized, the fairways widened, and the grass regularly mowed. Kudos to the maintenance team. The course has elevation changes and the terrain challenges even the consistent ball strikers. Walking the front nine is easy while the back nine will give your legs a work out. A fun layout though. Sam, the new PGA golf pro, is helpful and friendly. The food and beverage service, provided by the Long Reach Kitchen and Catering company is excellent. Their staff is also friendly and helpful, the menu is varied, and their drink menu is fun. All and all, a great local golf course. The PGA may never play at the Bath Golf Club but it is a fun place. They also are owners of the Highland Greens Golf Club in Topsham. Steve

The tidal river is easily accessible within a 10 to 15 minute easy stroll from the parking lot. Horseshoe crabs can be seen spawning in June. Plenty of fish fry hatching in July. Great place to wade, but be mindful about disturbing the horseshoe crab grounds where there is sand. Clams can be gathered at low tide. But make sure you get a permit from the county clerk before hand. The daily clam bag limit is generous. Lovely views of the river, tall grasses and wildflowers. There is even an Osprey nest that gets used in Spring through Summer. A magical way to drink in midcoast Maine without a lot of driving and hiking.

A winter wedding is hard to plan, celebrating Maine's finest. Laura's catering is a one stop shop. Our party was small, comparatively, 48 guests. A perfect menu, perfect venue, perfect bar service. The table settings were gorgeous. Communication was great. All of her staff were lovely, easy to work with and FUN! From the raw bar to the wedding cake, everything was exactly what we wanted and more. We got wonderful feedback from the guests on the whole event, especially her emphasis on procuring locally sourced food, and how beautiful the venue was with her table settings and arrangement of the space. Her vision, execution and experience brought our celebration to life. Maine and Laura shone!

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!
