    Rhubarb mojito sorbet
    Scott K.

    I personally had low expectations, due to our experiences here in Maine, my wife was VERY excited.... WELL let me tell you, it's safe to assume the restaurant is awesome if they win a James Beard award!!! So food, service and ambiance .... Food - Everything we had was awesome! I think you can say it is an 8 course diner including the roll with the whipped maple butter. You're given a few options for your appetizer, entree and desert, while the rest of the courses are standard for the night. I believe the menu, at least in part, changes thru-out the year. All of the dishes were a good size for a bigger menu. Flavors, textures and seasonings for each dish were very thoughtfully crafted, the effort and love is unmistakeable. Our meal was about 3 hours and it really didn't feel like it, everyone left full!!! It's priced at $115 per person, not including drinks or gratuity. Well worth it! Service - while the service was good, our server was prompt and mindful of drink refills as well as getting the order correct, however my one criticism of our dinner was that the service did not meet the standard of dining like this. At this level, you're paying for more, food costs more so the gratuity costs more and the expectation is higher for BOTH! No-one is okay paying for a BMW and getting a KIA. There really is an art and expertise needed to work as a server for a high end restaurant, you cannot serve people like your working at the Olive Garden. It reflects poorly on the restaurant when one of the team doesn't preform to meet the standard, and can affect the dining experience. We didn't care but certainly an area for improvement.... maybe just an off night. Ambiance - the restaurant is tastefully decorated, clean, plain and very spacious. It's not a $30 million building with fancy marble, it's got a small town feel and very comfortable. They don't have the tables packed in there. No-one likes getting their chair kicked or elbow rubbed while eating... Towards the end of the meal we met the chef and owner lulu, who was so down to earth, easy to talk to and very humble... such a nice person. If you're looking for quality fine dining in Maine then I absolutely recommend you make a reservation and take a drive. The Quarry is absolutely a hidden gem.

    Had an amazing dinner at The Quarry. Lulu is the sweetest host and a culinary genius. Michelin quality cuisine with impeccable service in the small town of Monson. Can't wait to come back!

    Adorable cabin put up by the restaurant's owners.

    Absolutely fantastic, a truly magical spot run by some of the most welcoming friendly people I have met. As this is monson Maine you will want to start with the super cute/comfy cabins that Lulu and her husband Bill rent out. Perfect for two, right on the lake with beautiful forest views. They also happen to be a four minute walk to the restaurant. Although Lulu is happy to have someone pick you up or drive you home so feel free to indulge in the tasty cocktails or wines. The menu is fixed price but provides options for the appetizer main and dessert. It changes seasonally as well as with the best of what's available. I have included a copy of the menu from our visit. From the salad, app, soup, entree to desserts every dish came full of artistry, full flavors and satisfying portions, five plus bites and beautiful/delicious rolls with soft maple butter beautifully pipped. Even better than the food (which is excellent) are Lulu, Bill and their daughter Esa. So charming, generous and helpful. They truly treat their guests like old friends or close family. Lulu, the chef makes a point of limiting seating so that she has time to visit with each of her guests. Never intrusive just someone that genuinely likes people and wants to make sure they enjoy her hospitality. It's no wonder the restaurant is a semi-finalist for this year's James Beard awards in the National category of Hospitality. Absolutely worth the trip, we plan to visit again when it's warm.

    Brunch at its absolute finest!!

    The fact that Lulu is nominated for a James Beard award is no mystery here!! The food is absolutely tremendous something a lot of Mainers don't get very often. Freshness-presentation-and flavor are all spectacular-yet there was something else I just couldn't quite put my finger on until I talked with LuLu the chef myself...it was the LOVE!! The love and care that goes into her food is palpable! She absolutely loves what she does and cares so much about the people she serves-it's amazing! She is such a humble yet generously gifted chef-and that transitions into the taste of her food for sure! Absolutely incredible food in every way-I would give a hundred stars if that was an option!

    Hidden pub in the hikers hostel is worth seeking out. Inside is a nice tiny bar but the waterfront…read moreback yard is where it's at! Fast friendly waitstaff. Ok draft beer selection. Canned music a bit mundane. Menu a bit better than the usual bar and nice $25 lobster roll with salad substitute for fries! Not much in Monson so glad it's here.

    I would love to give this place a 5 - really would. Lots of reasons for 5 stars, like the food,…read morefriendly waitstaff, camp like ambiance. The only thing holding me back is the crazy wait time on a not so busy Sunday, for the food to be served. Like over an hour wait time for a sandwich and fried fish special. But I digress...on to the good! The fried fish was outstanding! There was a very large amount of flaky fresh haddock that had the perfect coating and was not greasy at all. I would say - some of the best I've had! I opted for the side salad instead of the fries. I'll not make that mistake again. Don't get me wrong, the salad was fresh and very nice...but those fries that came with the Reuben were excellent! I'm not sure, maybe hand cut? They had a great seasoning on them and were so crispy with a soft center. If they are from frozen- I want the company name to figure out where to get some for myself! My husband enjoyed his Reuben as well. Oh, and bonus was that they had my favorite hard cider - freedom's edge, sweet mulled, as well WHICH they served in a chilled glass. Love it! We will definitely be back, but not when we're super hungry or in a hurry to get either upta camp or home. I get things run slower in that neck of the woods, but moving things along in the kitchen a little faster would do wonders for those passing through!

    The Stress Free Moose in Greenville is one of our favorite spots to stop for lunch whenever my wife…read moreand I are in town riding our side-by-side. The food is always great--fresh, hearty, and perfect after a day on the trails. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff is consistently friendly. Whether we're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a relaxing meal, this place never disappoints. A must-visit whenever you're in Greenville!

Location is great and it's always busy plus a strong hangout for locals or summer folks like us. Service was quick as was the food coming out, but here is the rub. We ordered a single pretzel, 4 beers @ $10 each and a large order of chicken tenders @ $18. They go by weight for the tenders which ended up being 4 in total. We asked if they could do half the order in one sauce & the balance in another which they did. What they failed to mention was a charge of $4 to do so. The total bill for what we ordered was $74 before tax and tip. Food was fine, average pub grub; nothing that would knock your socks off. Would you go back? To come back on a warm day and sit on their deck and have a single beer sure. Beyond that I'm not sure I can bring myself to do it.
