Rediscover Maine dining. Native ingredients honor Maine’s indelible heritage. By partnering with local fisherman, farmers, distillers, and ranchers, The Tiller Restaurant combines the region’s distinctive culture and tradition with culinary innovation and sustainable practices for authentic and nuanced dining experiences.

Upscale contemporary design meets with charming rustic elements, combined with a bright and inviting dining destination surrounded by ocean views suspended over the cliffs. Seasonal breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus are prepared with farm-fresh local produce, line-caught fish, hand cut meats, and homemade recipes passed down from generation to generation.

During the month of August, the restaurant will have limited availability for non-resort guests.

    The wait for the food was rather long but it was good and the burger was great and the view was spectacular. I would definitely go back especially for the guitarist, Ross in the lounge. He is talented and entertaining.

    Beautiful restaurant that hasn’t failed me once in terms of service, food, and value. Absolutely incredible view from the dining room during the day. Had the joy of going on a night when they had fresh caught salmon and it was amazing. The wagyu burger is also to die for. Will definitely be back

    I love everything about the Tiller, and make it a point to eat here every time I am in the area. The brunch was outstanding. Everything everyone at our table got was delicious (and there were 6 of us.) The homemade blueberry cake on the side of the American breakfast was such a nice touch! The service was fantastic. Our waitress stated she had only been there a few weeks, but we would've never have guessed it. Her attentiveness and knowledge was spot on. The views and the ambience at the Tiller are second to none! After brunch, we sat at the bar for Mimosas, and Chris as usual was super friendly and although it was busy, the service was amazing. The bar staff here makes you feel as if you are visiting old friends. Highly recommend, and cant wait to come back!
