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 lobster roll was disappointing. Tiller should--seriously!--send the chef to McLoon's Lobster Shack to learn how to do it right. The (fresh) bread is important, as is the way it's grilled. And the lobster should be really fresh and fragrant. Otherwise we had a very good experience, with the staff and the venue.

    The view is second to none. It can't be beat on a clear crisp day. With the waves crashing on the rocks, you can see forever. Our service and food were outstanding, and it's not so loud that you can have a conversation without having to talk loudly. I would recommend it to anyone.

    Gorgeous view and hostess was able to seat us near a window for a special occasion. Lots of gluten free options on an otherwise great menu. Service was unobtrusive but good. Will come again for brunch.

    Overall great experience - food has vastly improved since our last visit. We live locally and based on the quality of food during this visit we will certainly stop in more frequently. Staff was attentive and kind to my mom who was celebrating her 78th birthday.

    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.
