    Located on the corner you will find a charming purple house known as Salted Butter Farm. They came…read morerecommended by the owners of Grizzly Antiques. So after shopping there I headed to SBF for a quick lunch. Parking is easy peasy, just find a spot in various areas around the restaurant. Once inside I was warmly greeted and seated quick. The house is beautifully decorated both outside and inside. The local town and area charm is throughout while keeping the history alive. They have a pretty extensive menu and specials for the week. I chose to get the winner winner chicken dinner and the strawberry shortcake. The winner winner chicken dinner came with breaded chicken, mashed potatoes, broccoli and a goblet of gravy. It was all fantastic. A classic dinner, no bells or whistles which is what I was craving... a classic meal. Everything was flavored well and hot. The strawberry shortcake is the classic I know and love in this area of northern Maine. It was a grilled biscuit, whipped cream and juicy sliced strawberries. It was the perfect end to a classic dish. The biscuit was the perfect size and grilled nicely. The staff were so kind. It was great seeing the interactions with other guests. Overall this restaurant is great! It is definitely on my radar for future visits and to pass around to friends.

    Made another stop here (on purpose this time) and was even more impressed! Glad we called ahead…read moreearlier in the day to reserve a table as the restaurant was bustling on the Friday before Christmas. Love the cozy vibe of the interior so much! I opted for the short rib wrap with potato leek soup, and my husband and his friend both got the all you can eat fish and chips. We were all very satisfied with our choices! Can't wait to stop here during my next visit to Maine.

First, the service was amazing. Our waiter was so nice, so attentive, and extremely helpful in terms of describing the foods and helping us choose beers. A lot of their draft beers are from the brewery they have on the property (Knife Edge Brewing). My friend and I liked their Blond Ale and their Moon Shadow Session IPA. The IPA was slightly citrusy, crisp, cold, and refreshing. Exactly how you would want a beer. For the food, we had the crab cake appetizer, the caesar salad, and the seafood pappardelle (pasta). Everything was absolutely delicious. The crab cakes were wonderful. Flavorful but not grossly fishy, soft, and the sauce accompaniment was great. My friend and I split the caesar salad and the pasta, so the portions you see of those in my pictures are HALF of what they actually are. The caesar was solid -- a nice sauce and clean, fresh romaine. The croutons seemed homemade and were really good. The pasta had three types of seafood -- shrimp, scallops, and Maine lobster. All delicious and with a tasty garlic lemon cream sauce . It was a good amount of seafood as well. I highly recommend this place. It's a little off the beaten path but well worth it!! As a plus, we spotted a wild fox while driving through the property to the restaurant!
