We visit Maine every summer, but thought we'd check it out in the winter, and try a new area. We…read morestayed in Wells for a week and had to get our oil changed, so we headed to Sanford. We were there at lunch time, so I checked out Yelp and found Shain's. We like their ice cream, so we figured, why not? I am SO GLAD we did!!! We had some of the best fried scallops and clam strips we've had in the 57 summers I've been to the state. We also tried the lobster rolls, both ways (we preferred the mayo to the butter dressed, but both were delicious). We got lobster roll coupons for $10.99 and used those - even at the menu price of $12.99 for a lobster roll, when was the last time you bought a roll that cheap?! Yes, it's a bit out of the way, but totally worth the detour. We loved it so much, we went the next day, too!

The hollandaise was rich and creamy, with a good balance of tang and butteriness. The poached eggs were just right--runny yolks but not too loose.

It's been two years since we've been here and I have to say we were very disappointed. quantity is significantly smaller and the price is significantly higher. For an appetizer I risotto. It seriously was more like rice soup. Not at all like it used to be. My husband ordered salmon on top of a salad and the salmon was very overcooked even though he ordered it rare. I am so sorry to give this kind of a rating, but they really need to step up their game.

My wife and I come here on special occasions like birthdays, Valentine's Day, etc. Our recent visit…read moreon my wife's birthday was no exception. We started the evening with cocktails which were very much to our liking, followed by a delicious appetizer of lobster risotto that we shared. We both ordered the short ribs which were mouthwatering and cooked to perfection that the meat fell off the bone. The servings were enough where we took the bones and whatever meat was left to make a delicious beef soup. Neither one of us were up for dessert but decided to get two to go, which we downed once we got home. And they were both delicious. In closing, I'd be remiss without saying a good word about our server Keila. She was warm, friendly, funny, and very attentive to our table. She made our night to enjoyable! Thanks you Keila ! We look forward to our next visit to The Village Inn soon.

The scallop risotto was recommended to me and it did not disappoint! I am looking forward to waiting the leftovers! Creamy, smoky, perfectly cooked scallops accompany a creamy risotto with baby spinach and sun dried tomatoes with fresh prosciutto... heaven in a bite! If seafood is not your thing, don't worry! Their selection of steaks are mouth-watering and are accompanied with options such as mushroom demi-glaze (so delicious), cowboy butter, or horseradish sauce.You can cut the steak with a butter knife!! Add dessert to go- the chocolate lava cake and cheesecake are fresh and yummy too. We will definitely be back for more! Highly recommend!
