On May 3, 2025, my wife and I celebrated our 56th wedding anniversary at The Tarratine. A delightful young lady seated us at the front window table in a dining room which has the bar. We went early, for the 4:30 opening and, although other guests came and were seated in other rooms, we enjoyed a very private and quiet dining experience except for one time when the person tendimg bar had to shake a cocktail. The table was of perfect size for the two of us, our waitress was exemplary, and the foid was outstanding. I ordered the crab cake appetizer and was amazed to find them to be the best I have ever had in Maine. While not the the blue claw crabs served in Mayland, these crab caked far surpassed all crab cakes I have had in Maine. Both of us enjoyed caesar side salads with scallops. The salads were wonderful and the additional scallops were prepared to perfection. For an entree, my wife ordered the chicken roulade whuch was served along string beans on a bed of mashed potatoes. I enjoyed a meal of scallops, risotto, corn and pork belly. Everything we ate was absolutely delightful to the eye and the stomach. I should note that we were served ample portions and, although we passed on some delicious sounding deserts, we did not leave hungry. We enjoyed an outstanding dining experience for our 56th. Thank you for a delightful, memorable evening.

Very good food and ambience. Servers were over burdened with number of tables they were assigned. Looking forward to going again.

We have a great brunch - food and service were great.

Altho we were just here not three weeks ago, Franny’s ever gets tiresome. And last night I had the duck confit arugula salad for the first time and it’s very good! The confit is not dry, and the pears work well in the salad. And I had her crab cakes appe for dinner because they’re that good ,too! Busy at 7 last night but the service was very good, she was attentive and helpful without being annoying. A good night.

Great dinner with our daughters and her friends while visiting Colby (Go mules!). Oysters were excellent and salads are huge. Filet was good and chicken dishes were all excellent. Really liked the green beans as well. Nice wine options by the glass or bottle. Nice place not too far from campus.
