About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Romantic
Our contemporary New England cuisine has been rooted in the local and seasonal long before they were the mots du jour on menus across the country. At our AAA Five Diamond, Forbes Five Star restaurant, we showcase incredible ingredients sourced through specially cultivated relationships with the farmers, fishermen and foragers of coastal Maine and just beyond for beautifully-presented, always inspired dishes that encapsulate the very essence of our spectacular setting.

We have a smart casual dress code; jackets are preferred, but not required. Shorts, sportswear, and flip-flops are forbidden in the dining room.

    This was an amazing experience! The service was excellent, food and culinary creativity was outstanding. A very nice restaurant and who can forget the outstanding wine list. As a former resident of Napa I’m familiar with the Auberge properties and this did not dissappoint!

    A bit pricey, but honestly worth every penny! Everything was perfect! We celebrated our 37th wedding anniversary this weekend and this meal made the entire weekend a smashing success! Every aspect of the meal was appropriately sized and timed. The flavors were right to point. The pianist enhanced the elegant ambiance with just the right mix of soft rock melodies. The Blueberry Soufleé and chocolate truffles put the finishing touches on a very special evening. We look forward to returning when we’re ready to celebrate another special occasion!

    Overall we had a great dinner, the lobster bucatini was delicious. We chose the lobster tasting menu which was too much. Very rich, long dinning experience. I will not have lobster for a long time from now on! Service was very good, beautiful restaurant. The bar experience wasn’t very good, the cocktails weren’t good. Other than that, food was delicious, great service and beautiful location.

    Food, service and drinks are always amazing! We both had the Kennebunkport lobster, which we have ordered many times because of how delicious it is. The lobster bisque was also delicious. I had the blueberry soufflé which was a pleasure to the palate. From start to finish it is an amazing dining experience. Our server Ann was great and ViVi was on point clearing our empty dishes and glasses. A must for a special dining experience

    Ok so the White Barn Inn is expensive - there’s no way around that - but it’s the kind of white table cloth fine dining experience that you will remember for a long time. Beautiful service. Better than I’ve ever had. Beautiful inn. Beautiful dining room. And some of the most inventive food ever. Not enough superlatives to address my experience here

    An exceptional 30th anniversary dinner after having dinner here on our wedding night. Our servers were first class, attending to every detail. Delectable duck with rooibos tea marinade. The live pianist set such a relaxing, romantic mood. Thank you.
