Welcome to The Tarratine. We focus on providing an elegant yet approachable experience for our community. Created with skill and passion, the menu features an exciting array of seafood, streak, brunch foods, and signature items from our Executive Chef and his culinary team. This is within our historic gentlemen's social club, built-in 1907. Our spacious venue allows for individual experiences in various spaces, including our rooftop terrace. The Tarratine provides a variety of spirits, cocktails, local brews on tap, and an approachable wine list.

Parties of 12 - 18 guests will be offered a reduced restaurant menu.
Parties with 19+ guests, please call us at 207-992-4090, and someone will love to talk to you about your special night.
We allow you to bring in a cake from state-licensed bakeries; a $5 per person cutting fee will be added to the final bill.

Due to the historic nature of the building, our upper levels are not handicap accessible.

    The restaurant was amazing. The ambiance was perfect for nice date night. The service was amazing. The added features on the 2nd and 3rd floor of games is fun. The food was very good. We started with calamari which was good then I had the steak and my husband had the lobster seafood sausage stew. I think the steak was good but the calamari and the stew were excellent.

    It's an upscale dining experience. If I recall correctly the most expensive entree was steak at $50 (when I was there). Dinner for two will run about $100 or more, depending on appetizers, dessert, and beverages from the bar. I mention all this because our dinner out is something of a splurge, but well worth it. I had grilled halibut. It was a lovely piece of well prepared fish. The accompanying puree was good.

    Nice venue. Slow to start service picked up and ended pleasant and well. Out of draft local craft beers which was online menu and one of the reasons we chose the restaurant. A special of the day peach , tomato, buratta, and crostini was very good. The salmon on peas and scallops with risotto was good. The tempeh entree and the etouffee were very salty.
    The TarratineResponded on October 19, 2024
    Hi Tom, I am sorry for the slow start to service and the draft debacle. We have had problems with our draft beer and after a few different technicians we are back online. I hope that you were offered the local craft beers that we have bottled and canned. I will share the comments that you have given about the salty Temeh and Etouffee. I would love to have you visit again, please let me know when you are coming. Take care, Tricia
