    This was one of the best meals we have had in Bethel in a long time. The mushroom pasta and scallops were just perfect. And the service was fast and friendly. Everything was perfect. Can't wait to come back.

    We had an amazing experience here for the first night of our honeymoon. The chef accommodated my dietary restrictions and both of our dishes and drinks were amazing. Service was top notch. Very cute space.

    Butternut Squash soup starter was really tasty… no milk or heavy cream like most… just an amazing spice blend. Filet was excellent! Cooked perfectly! Bread pudding and decaf coffee also highly recommended. Best restaurant in Bethel ME by far ⭐️⭐️⭐️

    I made a reservation for dinner with friends last night, and while the atmosphere was nice and our server, Thomas, was fantastic, the kitchen experience was not. We ordered filets at $42 each, expecting them to be cooked as requested. I ordered mine medium well, it came out medium, and the rest of my friends asked for medium but got rare. My friend had to sent hers back because it was raw. After waiting an additional 15 minutes, she finally got her steak, only for it to be unevenly cooked—raw on one side—and had two men’s hairs in it. At that point, we had all finished eating, and she had to send it back again and not eat dinner. It was disappointing to see that during our time there, two other tables also had to send food back, including a burger and another filet. For a restaurant charging $42 per steak, the kitchen needs to get these basics right. Although the team kindly comped two filets, and sent desserts in apology, the poor cooking and hygiene issues don’t make us want to return. Management, please give your kitchen the help it needs to match the standards set by your wonderful service team.

    We love the Elizabeth Inn! We enjoyed the new cocktail menu - I had the Elizabeth, which was like a whiskey sour. They were out of my latest favorite meal, the lamb shank, so I had the filet, which was Perfectly cooked, laid on a bed of manchego mashed potatoes with sauted mushrooms - delicious! For desert, the chocolate mousse with a side of vanilla ice cream was a perfect pallet cleanser. Another great meal and evening!

    We had dinner here for a birthday. We received c complimentary champagne and dessert.,The food is excellent. I had the scallops and it was probably the best I ever had. You don’t expect this quality in a small town in Maine but it’s on par with the best restaurants anywhere.
