Some Maine suggestions: Bristol Inn, New Harbor Anchor Inn (restaurant), Round Pond Newcastle Inn, Damariscotta Sheepscot River Inn, Edgecomb Blue Skye Farm, Waldoboro

Under last year’s chef, it was very good, and same chef is supposed to be back this season. Another possibility is The Anchor Inn, in Round Pond. Always reliable; Rick and Jean do a great job, especially with seafood. Had...

Round Pond Olive oil has a fun tour and tasting, there is information on their website: http://www.roundpond.com/

At this time of year, hay-fed is probably what you will get 'round here. :-) Locally, I have bought from Codman Community Farms and at farmer’s markets. Codman I believe you are limited to what is on hand in the freezer. You...

to are Bouchon, Bistro Jeanty, and Redd. But there are only so many meals in 3 days! Though they have historically had good reviews, Round Pond received some negative posts in June. Anybody have a recent experience with their...

Two I recommend: Round Pond olive oil in Rutherford. If you can afford the lunch, do the olive oil tour followed by a delicious lunch (chicken, prosciutto, tomatoes, mozzarella, bread). Educational and very fun. Marshall’s...

The Anchor Inn in Round Pond has good food and a great view, but may be a little over your $15/person limit.

Anyone tried out the new frog giggin' ponds now established in some Kroger Stooper Stores? Sounds like a fun way to catch a meal while out hoppin' around. -BnF

Lobster Company in Round Pond, just left off Rt 32. Beautiful setting, great oysters, lobster, steamers, corn – no frills. You can bring booze and picnic goodies. Best lobster pound EVER!

Market and Cindy’s Backstreet Kitchen in St Helena both offer good, casual food at reasonable prices. You should also check out the Rutherford Gardens Farm Stand on Saturday for groceries/snacks. I highly recommend a visit...
