2 Best Restaurants in Blue Hill Peninsula, Maine

Glowing gas fireplaces, period antiques, exposed beams, and hardwood floors covered with Asian rugs make the the candlelit dining areas in this historic house elegant but homey. The menu features dishes made with such ingredients as carrots and apples from Horsepower Farm; mesclun from Carding Brook Farm in Brooklin; and mussels, scallops, and clams from Blue Hill Bay. 

This upscale but relaxed place has a long list of farm- or sea-to-table small plates. Supplementing the well-curated selection of wines is a menu of craft cocktails and local beers.
