- GGregGreater Boston •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoParty of two we each got the 4-course meal option with a seafood focus + a bottle of Cakebread chardonnay + bottle of still water + 20% tip = $442. The food was phenomenal and properly portioned so you can finish all 4 courses and a couple glasses of wine. Skip lunch just to make sure. The Halibut main dish was cooked to perfection. The ambience is perfectly dimly lit, modern rustic, with a low background level of trip hop/ lounge libations. Memorable for sure...More infoEarth at Hidden PondPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Kennebunkport•4.8
- MMarkVIPGreater Boston •17 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWhat’s not to love? We brought our adult daughters along for our annual anniversary/holiday dinner, and they only added to the validation of how amazing this restaurant truly is. One pescatarian, one vegan, both satisfied and smiling! Chef made a custom vegan dish just for us, and it was fabulous. Great drinks, wine, appetizers… love sitting in the bar, too!More infoRistorante MassimoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Portsmouth•4.8

- DDanielVIPVirginia •118 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe scheduled a small family gathering for the holidays. The Three Chimneys Inn turned out to be a great location. The food was great. The staff allows us plenty of time to visit. An added benefit is the Inn as one couple stayed after dinner. Highly recommended!More infoThree Chimneys InnPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Durham•4.4
