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.

    The setting could not have been more picture perfect. The only thing better was the service and food. Been all over the world at Michelin restaurants and this experience was on par with the best. A++

    We go to the White Barn Inn twice a year, and enjoy it very much, every single time! So beautiful, and elegant. Fantastic menu, and even better tasting food. The service is always friendly, attentive, and fast.

    Was lovely as usual. We have come here on and off for 40 years and it doesn't disappoint. I love to cook and experiment, and enjoy the culinary experience I as I always get new ideas. It is very expensive so it is not something we do all the time even though we live in KPT. My only criticism is that it is hard to finish the meal with the appetizers, interludes and the main course. By the time we get to the main course, I wish it was a little less.

    This was our second time having dinner there and this time we stayed at the inn which I also highly recommend. Service from everyone is excellent, food is so good and the live piano player is a nice touch, but not too loud so you could have a conversation.

    This was a Prelude dinner with friends and as usual it was a wonderful experience. I got to meet some new staff I hadn’t met before because it was oh so busy, and everyone was on to lend a helping hand to get the food out, drinks delivered with the usual exemplary service the White Barn is famous for. My dear friends enjoyed their first experience at one of our favorite local restaurants. We’ve often told our employees in the past, a true test of excellence is grace under pressure. You got this! Can’t wait to return!
