About the restaurant
The Islesford Dock Restaurant & Gallery is just that - a restaurant and gallery on a dock on Islesford, Little Cranberry Island, Maine. We have a large greenhouse right out back that produces a good amount of our produce, source our lobsters from the fisherman's co-op just next door, and use Gulf of Maine seafood almost exclusively. The menu is rounded out with naturally raised meats and chicken and the service is casual but professional, warm and inviting. Make sure you get out to Islesford Dock while you're here in the area by taking the Beal & Bunker mail boat that makes multiple trips back and forth every day or take one of the several other tour boats out.

We are closed Mondays throughout the Summer. Starting in September we will be open for dinner service only, and we are closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Season ends October 1st.

About the restaurant
A neighborhood gastropub featuring 14 local beverages on tap and scratch-kitchen fare. Menu features shares, entrees and house-made desserts. Reservations available in our dining room; our bar and high-top area is almost always dedicated to walk-ins. For reservations for seven or more, email us at littletaphouse@gmail.com.

Steps away from popular venues such as the Portland Museum of Art, Cross Insurance Arena, and the State Theater. A welcoming dining experience for locals and visitors-alike!

About the restaurant
Dear Guests, effective October 13, 2024, the Whale's Tooth Pub is closed, and is for sale to spend more time with family, all of whom live out of state. We have so enjoyed serving you!
The Whale's Tooth Pub, open year-round, is one of Maine's most popular gastro pubs, where it's all about the food, mixology and personal service! Nestled between Camden and Belfast, the Whale’s Tooth Pub is located on 400 feet of beautiful oceanfront in Lincolnville, voted among the top 20 most picturesque towns in the United States according to Outdoor Magazine. Using fresh ingredients from farm and sea, we passionately serve delicious pub fare, including our famous Fish 'n Chips, voted top 10 in Maine by Best Things Maine! We also delight with elevated seasonal specials and tempting craft cocktails! We hope you enjoy our unique culinary twist, served inside a 1777 classic English pub with a priceless view, and a huge roaring fire during the winter!

About the restaurant
LITTLE BARN
Simply executed, yet expertly prepared, the flavorful and approachable dishes at the Little Barn bring the local Maine farmstead and fisheries to the table. It is a fantastic way to experience the amazing food and service for which the White Barn Restaurant is known.

Enjoy our Provisions menu along with Chef Mathew's daily menu board, featuring ever changing local favorites. Our Chef comes to work at the The White Barn Restaurant and he comes to play in the Little Barn.

Mood is relaxed and casual.

About the restaurant
Jordan Pond House, a restaurant and shop with a long tradition within Acadia National Park, sits on a hill overlooking a beautiful lawn along the Jordan Pond. Guests have been enjoying these amazing views and dining at this site since 1893 when Nellie McIntire, the first proprietor, started baking and serving her famous popovers out of the restaurant. Ever since then, we have been serving popovers and tea.

Please note: Reservations may be made for inside dining only. Due to weather variability, we are unable to accommodate reservations for the lawn. Please inform the host at the time of your arrival if you would prefer outdoor seating, and we would be happy to accommodate your request, pending availability.
