Food Scene

Amazing all natural foods, locally sourced meats and fishes prepared by James Beard award winner Melissa Kelly. Reservations for the dining room are needed – this is destination dining! For a more casual experience, there are 2 large bar areas upstairs with seating – entire menu is available, no reservations upstairs, and you may wait a bit but it’s worth it.

Delicious, hip, vegetarian restaurant with an amazing produce market in the summer months. Worth stopping for lunch if you are exploring Belfast (recommended, 25 miles north of Rockland), for the day. Another great coastal town with a laid-back vibe, working waterfront, and shops.

This is a great day trip…a pretty drive to Port Clyde and a ferry ride. Easy hiking and beautiful views on this historic/artistic Island. And you just might see a whale on the ferry ride… Eat at one of the small local venues on the island or at the pier/general store in Port Clyde when you get back. (Best to make ferry reservations in advance.)
