2 Best Restaurants in Stonington, Blue Hill Peninsula and Deer Isle

This long-time Main Street greasy spoon got a face-lift and a menu upgrade when Brooklyn restaurateur Max Katzenberg reopened it in 2022. The breakfast menu has all the traditional offerings as as well a few extras like huevos rancheros and chicken and waffles, while the lunch and dinner menu features local seafood dishes and carnitas tacos, and fried chicken.

Perched on a hill overlooking Stonington Harbor, diners can watch lobster boats unload their daily haul and enjoy the sounds of seagulls and foghorns in the distance while dining on dishes made with fresh, seasonal ingredients. The appetizers and main courses center on seafood and the wood-fired pizzas coming out of the kitchen include the Garden Gnome (mushroom, caramelized onion, and ricotta) and the Seapig (scallop, applewood bacon, ricotta, and maple drizzle).
