We invite you to dinner at our
Maine restaurant.

It’s casual by candlelight with Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong in the background.  Our Maine dining room is intimate, graced with floral paintings, mismatched antique china, and garden flowers on every table. On warm evenings, there is a table for you on the porch, under the stars. 

It’s exceptional home-cooking that honors the classics in its soulful simplicity, bowing to the seasons. Our chef, Gina Melita, uses ingredients that are local, fresh from the farms and waters that surround us. The menu  at our restaurant features seafood such as lobster and local shellfish, native fish and game, New England specialties, and fine desserts. There is a well-stocked wine cellar as well as a full bar. Reservations are suggested. 


 

"...you can dine in the intimate and classy restaurant that serves

artful platefuls of local seafood and fish.

Caution: their bouillabaisse may cause French visitors to weep with envy."

  The Lonely Planet Guide to New England,  2005

 

Breakfast at the Pentagöet

In the morning, you’ll wake to the smell of freshly brewed coffee set outside your door. A full country breakfast will follow: Maine blueberries picked at a local farm, homemade granola, featherbed eggs, baked apple French toast, muffins and scones warm from the oven. Enjoy your breakfast on the deck or sit at a table for two in the dining room. You’ll be well fortified for the day’s explorations!   The baking is done daily by the chef/owner who for 20 years owned the Pink Rose Pastry Shop, a nationally acclaimed business in Philadelphia.

 

 

“Great meals, grand visages in Castine, Maine”.....

 

The Pentagöet is one of the livelier spots after dark in Castine, a wonderfully uncluttered town perched on Penobscot Bay. Both nights of our stay, the bar was crowded and the dining room filled to capacity. We snagged an 8 p.m. reservation for dinner on Saturday, the last available for a late-in-the-day request.

 

We were glad to have gotten it. The grilled scallops were jumbo-sized and flavorful, with a hint of anise; the slow-cooked lamb shank was tender. For dessert, we chose mango sorbet, so fresh tasting that we asked if it was made on - site. It was.

 

Breakfast was another lovely meal: a buffet of zucchini bread, bacon, eggs, granola with fruit and yogurt , and freshly squeezed orange juice.
