This was the most awesome experience…read more First driving off the beaten path through the wilderness, feels like you're going to a special quiet place amongst the trees. Once you walk in and see the beautiful interior you really feel you're in a special place that not many people get to experience. We checked in 5 minutes before our reservation and our table was more quite ready so we found ourselves a couple seats at the bar. We did wait about 15/20 minutes for our table. Once we were seated, we were greeted with water and bread service. The homemade sourdough focaccia was incredible. I had to stop myself for reaching for piece number three. When looking at the menu, they have a couple different options. We loved the price is preset based upon your 3 or 4 courses. Doesn't matter what you choose on the menu, you just are charged or a 3 or 4 course option. Husband Course 1: TUNA SASHIMI Course 2: WOOD FIRED OCTOPUS Course 3: SWORDFISH Course 4: (dessert) HAZELNUT TIRAMISU The tuna was fresh, sliced thicker lots of flavor and delicious. Octopus was tender-had a perfectly light smoky flavor. Swordfish Nice cut of fish. Good flavor. Unfortunately this was a little over cooked. Didn't have a bouncy texture and a bit dry. Tiramisu had a lovely thick hazelnut flavor. Good texture. Myself: Course 1: BARLEY RISOTTO Course 2: LOBSTER FETTUCCINE Course 3: HALIBUT Course 4 (dessert) donuts Additions-- carrots Risotto was outstanding. This flavor combination was outstanding. I was dancing in my chair like a little girl. Fettuccine, everything is better with lobster. Perfectly handmade noodles. Delicate fresh lobster and light sauce. Halibut had a wonderful flavor. Nice piece of fish. But mine too was a little over cooked. All the vegetables were fresh and their flavor definitely showed that. The donuts were absolutely to die for. I am not a sweet person and they were moth watering. Overall this place is magical. I would eat here a million times over

Food started strong then progressively went downhill. Service also started strong with the host,…read morebut once the server came over it became weak and continued to decline throughout the evening. He completely disregarded the other guest and only focused on my drink order, which felt disrespectful. After taking my order and walking awaynot once but twice, when he returned I had to ask, "Are you not going to take her drink order?" The tuna sashimi was great and the carrots were good as well. However, something about the halibut tasted off. I work with fish daily, and this personally was not it. I had one bite and could not continue eating it. The server boxed up the halibut for me, but then tossed a to-go container onto the table for us to box our own dessert, which felt inconsistent with the level of service. The bartender was wearing an H&H raincoat and appeared to be drinking on the job, while other female staff members were scrolling on their phones. Overall, not a great first impression. The ambiance itself was nice, but when you make an 8:30 PM reservation and receive a text at 7:30 PM saying your table is ready, it feels a bit off-putting. I had asked beforehand if anything earlier was available and was told no, so I intentionally booked later for an evening experience. Then upon arrival, the restaurant was fairly empty. Within the first few minutes of us being there, the kitchen doors were closed and cleaning was happening all around us. It created an unpleasant atmosphere for what was supposed to be a social evening out and a little hoorah celebration, and nothing was acknowledged by staff. It was clear that reservation notes or comments in chat of reservation were not reviewed. Overall, not thrilled with the experience. Been there, done that -- one visit was enough for me/us unless that 49-year-old male server Charlie learns how to properly serve guests and the kitchen team start to season the food a bit better. Would have been nice if Charlie checked in with us more like he did the other tables hence the eaves dropping to know more about him and the place. 4/10 experience, will not be back which is a bummer.

Maine & Loire has become my go-to spot whenever I need a special bottle of wine, or something fun,…read moreor just something reliably high-quality. It's the kind of place where I can walk in and say, "Hey, I'm making haddock chowder tonight, my budget is $30," and immediately get a handful of thoughtful recommendations plus a mini wine lesson, which I always appreciate. Wine can get pretentious and intimidating so fast, and I never feel that way at Maine & Loire. I also really love their sales and loyalty program. Getting those emails with 10% off codes (which they send out pretty often!) always makes my day. Lastly, I think you can choose to drink bottles on site, but in the past their policy seemed to change a few times, so I've stopped trying and just treat them as my go-to wine shop.
