Ambience and service great. I’m sorry but food was not up to par. Scallops terribly over cooked and app of beef tartar not much beef and frisée with no dressing. Staff should know which cauliflower is being served menu description on menu ( romanesco) reg cauliflower was served. As for lobster over pasta so much butter and my endive crab salad there was no crab. We were so disappointed. Sorry!

Consistently the BEST dining experience. Food is amazing and the service is outstanding . Love dining here. Staff is very friendly and helpful . It’s the best. Thank you !

This very beautiful room would be an ideal environment for a top-notch restaurant, and to a certain extent it is. The two sticking points are the cost of dining here - it is easy to rack up a $200 per-person bill here without much effort - and a lack of consistent excellence across the menu. I wish I could say that all the food merits this cost, but sadly, it doesn't. A lobster appetizer was compromised by very spicy hot peppers, effectively eliminating any taste of the crustacean. A pork roulade was dry and not sufficiently sauced. Then again, a lobster bisque and a poached lobster dish entree were spot-on, among the best we've had. The service is wholly professional, and we appreciated the checking in of the staff while we dined to see if we were pleased. An extraordinary wine list will please oenophiles. In short, this visit was a mixed - and very expensive - experience for us.

Great food and great service. Will definitely return.

We celebrated New Years Day and the ambiance was perfect. Close group of friends really enjoyed our time together at White Barn Inn. The service was impeccable, friendly staff, beautiful presentation and outstanding taste.

What a disappointment. Had heard great things about this restaurant for years. What we found out is that the ownership has changed and with that came a decline in the quality. Everything was okay -- not what you expect for the price. It seemed the they were going through the motions of being a fine dining fixed price establishment -- beware, it is not the same White Barn Inn of it's past.

There are not enough words to describe how much we loved our meal at the WBI- everyone made us feel so special and EVERY (without exception) single course was off the charts. So much love to the inn and its staff- such a special place!!!

Fifth year celebrating a birthday w friends. The food, wine and service were outstanding for both dinner and breakfast. Lobster for dinner and w eggs Benedict for breakfast after a restful stay in Loon Cottage at Grace White Barn Inn.

Fine dining at its best. Superb presentation of the most delicious food choices. Service from the staff was excellent . Soothing piano was a wonderful addition. Outstanding evening celebrating our anniversary.

We went to the White Barn Inn Restaurant to celebrate a special occasion (birthday). Everyone that we know who has eaten there has raved about the food, so naturally we went in with high expectations. Unfortunately, we did not have a memorable meal and were not "wowed' by the food at all. This restaurant, in our opinion, is more about presentation of dishes then flavor and smart combinations. There were also some issues with our meal - cold soup, overcooked duck, lack of inventory for wine bottles, too much salt and butter on food, etc). We're bummed that the food and "stuffy" vibe couldn't be avoided. However, the romantic and cozy ambiance (decor, lighting, piano music) and great service from our waiter gets five stars. Great place to celebrate an occasion, but expect to drop several hundred dollars to dine here and leave disappointed.

It is a great restaurant very romantic atmosphere great food

The White Barn Inn was fantastic. We have always wanted to go there, and we went for my birthday. We stayed at the Inn as well. The service is outstanding. The atmosphere is great, and the food is fantastic! Can't wait to go again.

The food is always amazing at the White Barn Inn. It is a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for.

This is truly a world class restaurant. Everything... valet service.... serving staff... ambience and of course the food and drink... is superb. Well worth the cost and the effort to get a reservation. It really is that good.

Enjoying vacation

Probably the best meal I’ve had in years. If you’re in the area you must stop at the White Barn Inn for an amazing dining experience.

The ambiance and service were outstanding, but the food was not particularly memorable and at times even pretty bad.

Given the hype and price we expected at least a pretty good meal but what we got was poorly seasoned and nothing special.

We were on holiday and happy to have an opportunity to go to a R&C restaurant. The experience was fabulous and the wine pairings superb!

As always the White Barn staff, and food were amazing

Awful--never again!,

NOT FOR FOODIES
Bad sign number one - valet parking. Bad sign number two - poor bread. Bad signs 3 and so on - Tasting menu, the black garlic fritter (explained as black truffle when served) could have been anything, as the melted Parmesan overwhelmed everything else. The beef consommé was insipid. The beef was cooked past submission and the vegetable was flavorless. The sweetbreads were overcooked and underseasoned. The rhubarb flower pot featured an inedible garnish, but was a change of pace, as it accomplished its purpose of refreshing the palate. The lamb was unevenly cooked, some at perfect temp, others overdone, and inconsistently crusted. The cheeses were all high quality, and the cart was handled appropriately. The soufflé was adequate but the apricot flavor was lost in the chocolate sauce. The petit fours were numerous, but did not make an impression, the gelee was the best of the lot.

Service was good, but not up to premier restaurant standards. When a tasting menu lacks flavor, it fails. Very bad value for money on the food side.

Wonderful dinner, and exceptional service. Highly recommended and looking forward to experiencing this hidden jewel again.

Prix Fixe Menu, Impeccable Service, Outstanding Food, Special Occasion Destination. Highly Recommend for Foodies

Our annual visit to White Barn In was outstanding as always. As the menu changes weekly, it doesn't make sense to address individual dishes. The portions are small, but they are packed with complexity and layers of flavor. The extra tastes throughout the meal always leave me satisfied. Service is impeccable. There is an extensive wine list and a good selection of craft beers, including several from Maine Beer Company. Ask for the bar menu for some interesting signature cocktails.

Unbeatable for service, ambiance and dinner quality. A must try for anyone looking for a romantic, quiet evening.

Great for special occasions! Prefix menu is reasonable. Wines are expensive, but there are several options at a lower price point. Peter was an excellent server and the full staff truly made dinner a memorable experience. Several staff made sure to congratulate us on our anniversary and there were special surprises throughout our meal.

A real dining experience, excellent service & food. A great ending for our Maine vacation

We have visited White Barn Inn on previous summer trips . We always come away with this description of our experience Outstanding!

Strives for high end and achieves it. Food was prepared superbly presented in elagant fashion delivered with excellent service.

Great event

We had a wonderful evening. Food and service wonderful.

It is indeed a very special restaurant. The service is absolutely perfect and the menu is as diverse as you could ever want.

Every moment was amazing! My husband and I will definitely be back.

Outstanding! Service impeccable-our server Chris was attentive, knowledgeable and spectacular! The food was delicious! Looking forward to returning!

Snooty atmosphere, and extremely expensive for sub par food. We've been to very nice Michelin star restaurants and had amazing tasting menu experiences before and this was a huge let down. Our waiter was good but the food and atmosphere was not.

Amazing service. Waiter(s) were very accommodating to three children

The ambiance was second to none. Upon arriving, we were greeted by multiple staff who were very welcoming. There were many choices for each course. I ordered the halibut. It was much too salty for my taste and I did not like the pairing with pork. The flavors did not mesh. My husband had the beef tenderloin, which he said was delicious. We both finished with a soufflé for dessert. I had apricot with chocolate sauce- it was fabulous. My husband had strawberry shortcake. You truly feel special at the White Barn Inn. It is worth the cost for the experience.

The restaurant perfection. The Inn old and tired. Needs complete Reno.

It was Dad's Day and we wanted a special occasion dinner. White Barn did not disappoint. From appetizer to dessert every course was delicious and beautifully presented. Service from all was just as you'd expect from such a lovely place.

We took our son to this beautiful place, on the occasion of his deployment. It was his wish to dine at The White Barn, as we have celebrated several anniversaries and graduations here. As always, the management, staff and chef treated us like kings. Alex made sure we had the finest table, and from the champagne to the port, it was a superb evening. Magical! The special touches (my son received many congratulations from fellow diners and management, for example) made this another unforgettable evening at The White Barn.
