    Was here for a quick gathering with some friends. Stunning views, especially around sunset. Parking is terrible, disorganized and people just end up squeezing into areas that aren't parking spots? That was the most stressful part of this visit. Staff in general was ok, they were present, but not friendly nor welcoming. Thankfully our wait staff member was awesome! I made sure that she received a generous gratuity, as I can't imagine working at this location. The mix of people in the restaurant was interesting. Some were treating the staff members so rudely, it was hard to ignore. The patrons made this visit not so great either. I had the clam dip and chip appetizer and it was DELICIOUS!!!! All of the food options my friends ordered looked amazing and they sounded very pleased with all of their food and the drink specials. I will go back, if I'm invited to attend an event here, as the food was great, the wait staff was great, and it was clean with a nice ambiance.

    My sister in law made us reservations for our family at Black Point Inn. If you're visiting Maine I think there are more scenic and enjoyable spots to visit like Ogunquit Beach, Marginal Way, and Two Lights. This is a restaurant and hotel. Most of my family ordered lobster which came with corn. I ordered a green curry dish. My family members who ordered lobster with corn reported the lobster was good but the corn was not. The portions were small so they were still left wanting more. My green curry dish was tasteful, but again portion size was minuscule. It was just a handful of steamed vegetables with green curry on top. I was also left wanting something with more sustenance. There is not much to see within the vicinity but a hidden path at the other end of the parking lot overseeing some water. This place is more upscale and pricey.

    Dis-gusting.

    So terrible. SO terrible. Very few options, settled for a lobster roll on a gf bun. Bun tasted like it had been frozen, and freezer burned, for over a year. The lobster was mushy and just BAD. Absolutely the worst meal I've had out in as long as I can remember, if not ever. My husband, non gf, ordered a burger which came out no sooner than 45 minutes after my roll. It looked like it had cooked about 45 too long. Not a place to ever return to.

    This was my first visit to the Black Point Inn. The inn itself is very warm and cozy, with multiple fireplaces in the lobby and restaurant area. It's all dark wood interior and makes you want to curl up with a hot tea and book. We didn't spend the night as it's only a 15 min drive from our house. But we wanted to try the restaurant. The restaurant was bright and airy with 3 areas, the inside restaurant area, a sun room area, and the outdoors deck. We ate inside as the temperatures were cooling off. Of note they will bring you blankets to wrap around you out on the deck which I think is a great touch. My one real complaint is that the menu was limited. The appetizers are mostly shellfish based or contain nuts (pesto), which if you are unfortunate enough to be allergic to either really limits what you can order. They could use more variety among the appetizers. The main course did have more of a variety but there were also limited options there. There were 4 of us, 3 of us ordered the steak frites and my husband ordered the duck. The steaks were cooked perfectly and do tender. The duck was overcooked but still had a lovely flavor. It came with a barley risotto which while it had an ok flavor was quite stodgy and you couldn't eat a lot of it. I did start with the french onion soup which I will say was perfect! Will definitely consider going again at some point. The atmosphere and view are really nice

    Excellent new chef!! Fried whole belly clams the best we have ever had- very unique flavor! Bells Evans chicken dish absolutely delicious!!! Well done!!!

I'd been to the Inn before for happy hour and brunch so I was familiar with the main building and the fabulous view--so for this weekend I booked a Coveside Suite, which is a *huge* 2-bedroom setup with a living room and kitchen, balcony overlooking the snowy lawn and oceanfront, and a gigantic bathroom with both a shower and soaking tub. One bedroom has a king bed and the other two queens, which is perfect for a group of friends (it's not easy to find an arrangement like this). It's all very nicely designed (upscale beachy without being pretentious), and with freezing temperatures and a snowstorm on the way, the fireplace in the living room was the best. Pure hygge! I also recommend taking advantage of the spa, which we did on Saturday, both enjoying wonderful massages (hot rocks nearly had me drooling I was so relaxed). And even if it's cold, you can still tromp around the snow-covered lawn and down to the beach, or bundle up and have a cocktail outside on the deck by a fire pit, which a friend and I braved for awhile because we're weirdos. Large resorts like this can sometimes have food that feels institutional, but that's not the case here at the Sea Glass restaurant, which reliably turns out a nice range of tasty dishes inspired by Maine seafood and produce. I appreciate that there's some overlap between the breakfast/brunch and all-day menus; you can reserve in the restaurant (as we did for Saturday night), eat at the bar (it was hopping on Friday evening, since it's also a destination for locals), or order room service (bless the staff who came out in the cold for us for breakfast!). Everything I had was delicious, with the highlights being a roasted sunchoke appetizer and a hangar steak special with melty Parmesan fries. And I so appreciate the staff, all of whom were friendly and helpful! Service and communication were really top-notch overall, while also being super low-key and relaxed--you never feel the effort behind everything they do to keep things running seamlessly, which is clearly a lot, and that's an art. Pro tip: take advantage of winter rates (and there's an extra little discount for Maine residents, which is nice). Oh, and bring your pooch! The Inn is dog-friendly and there were many happy pups in their winter gear frolicking in the snow. While this was certainly a splurge for me it was one well worth it, and as a local, I'll definitely be back to do so again.

So full we took half with us. Warm blueberry muffins with blueberry butter are always delicious. It is a Maine tradition. The 2 year old enjoyed a pancake. The service is always attentive and the dining room is always warm and inviting with it's view over the grounds to the ocean.

We were literally on the beach. The house was built in the 1890s and it is beautiful! It does have updates to it since then but you don't lose a bit of the charm. We stayed in the old inn keepers room on the main floor, and it had its own bathroom. Our room had a window AC unit and it's own mini fridge as well as a ceiling fan. I do think it needs more outlets but we just used one in the bathroom. They provide you with bath towels, fresh beach towels everyday, washcloths, face towels and bath mats. Resa is the manager their and was absolutely wonderful. She cooked delicious breakfasts and is available if you need anything. One day we had avocado toast, scrambled eggs, fresh baked blueberry buckle, blueberry corn muffins, and chocolate oatmeal protein cookies. Various breads, bagels, and English muffins are available as well as butter, peanut butter, and jelly. There is always coffee, tea, and water and ice on hand. In addition to breakfast the house has a whole closet FULL of board games and activities to play if you find yourself inside for an afternoon storm. There is plenty of common areas to hang out and do a puzzle or play a game. The house also has plenty of beach items for you to use including beach chairs, umbrellas, footballs, volleyballs, sand toys, bikes, helmets, and various other things. You do need to park on the street, but there was ample parking and you don't really have to move your car that often because there is so much within walking distance. Overall I couldn't speak highly enough about our stay. Consider us new regulars.

So glad we did! We stayed in room #12 with a king size bed with plenty of cozy layers to keep us warm during the chilly early September nights. The whole house was beautifully clean, warm and welcoming. It's literally a stones throw from the beach and where we all sit once we are there, so we got out of walking the mile back to the other house our friends rent. Also, the breakfast served in the morning was delicious! Homemade bread, mini egg and ham burritos and plenty of coffee, tea and OJ. I was in heaven! Not to mention, the sub shop is across the street, so anything you need is within arms reach. We will most definitely be back again next year! Even though our room had a great view of the beach, we might try for a different room just to see what they're all like. Very happy with our stay! Resa, who was the lady in charge when we were there, is super nice!

There were only two other people in the lounge at the time. I was told that no where's in the lounge (which is big) could my 8 year old son be. When I commented that it didn't say 21+ anywheres and this was a hotel lobby / lounge they repeated that it's a rule that kids are not allowed even if they aren't sitting in the bar. It was also Mother's Day and as a single mom I had been looking forward to a nice afternoon here with my son. My son felt horrible as he had known I really wanted to go there and even said "I can wait in the car while you spend time in there so I don't ruin Mother's Day." We immediately left as he didn't ruin the day but the Lincoln hotel did. I highly recommend anyone with kids stay away as clearly I thought this was a family friendly place and it's not.

In addition, the door was on a corner making the bathroom minuscule. This place caters to bus tours so the place seems like it would pretty much full most days. Too small restrooms and reservations for the type of room not guaranteed. Not returning.
