Casual Dining & Restaurants in Maine (ME)

In the tradition of warm Maine hospitality offered by the grand hotels of the 19th century on scenic Prouts Neck, Black Point Inn welcomes guests to The Chart Room, where heartfelt service and elevated American fare combine to please even the most discerning diners. Unpretentious American cuisine features locally sourced seafood classics and creative favorites. The Chart Room’s views are exceptional: Its porch, in particular, is a lovely place to watch the sun set over the water while sipping a signature cocktail.

Regional and international flavors merge to create an exceptional dining experience at the Harbor Bistro + Terrace at the Portland Harbor Hotel. Using ingredients from local farmers, fishermen and foragers, the restaurant offers creative, beautifully presented courses in a relaxing, elegant setting. Entrees might include Maine lobster cannelloni or New York strip steak. Enjoy a summer cocktail (a Casco Bay daiquiri, for instance) on the terrace or a winter appetizer (crispy Brussels sprouts) in a heated igloo. The restaurant also serves a hearty breakfast, from avocado toast to a classic Benedict. Ask about the hotel’s dining promotion and Bed and Breakfast Package. Cosmopolitan and friendly, the Harbor Bistro + Terrace is a great place to come together, eat well and feel at home.
