My wife and I drove the coast of Maine, from Portland, up to the West Quoddy Head Light. The overnight stay we had at Barncastle, was easily the best stay we had all trip. Between the beautiful grounds it sat on, the staff being so wonderful and accommodating, as well as the meal we at there, I'm not sure why you wouldn't make this a stop while in Maine. They have a full bar, as well as a restaurant. The chef, also part owner of Barncastle, must have been sent from heaven. This man and his team can flat out cook! I've been to plenty of good restaurants, but the meal we had was top of the charts. It was fried chicken, which you'd think anyone can make, but not the way this was prepared. Lightly breaded and the most tender piece of chicken a fork has ever pierced through. The bartender behind the bar was also wonderful. Her drink making skills and her kindness are unmatched. We even got to speak to a local that frequented the establishment, who pointed us in the right direction when it came to what we ate. I hope this place continues to thrive and I think anyone that stays here will definitely want to come back for another visit.
