Youngtown Inn — Hotel in Lincolnville

Great French Restaurant in an historic beautiful Inn. Hostess greeted us warmly and kept returning to our table to check on how things were going and to carry on a scintillating conversation. Her husband is the chef and he is very French. He sent us free glasses of vintage port at the end of the meal "To celebrate France winning the World Cup". The servers were also very friendly and helpful. The decor is very elegant and the building super charming. Even the big old yellow dog who hangs out in the bar was friendly and welcoming. The food and wine lived up to the rest. Choice of four course prix fixe ($50 plus $5 supplements for rack of lamb and the souffle for desert) or al la carte. We had the delicious wild mushroom Ravioli in truffled cream sauce and the duck confit pate. The pate was covered with a soft layer of duck fat and was mild and tasty with cornchicons (tiny pickles) and thin toast points on the side. A generous and outstanding portion but I could have used another slice of the toast. The rack of baby lamb chops were coated with a salt crust and a red wine sauce and were tender perfection. Stuffed sole was perfectly cooked and tender as butter with a breadcrumb, crab and scallop stuffing. Sides of fingerling potatoes or rice pilaf and baby harciot verts were also great. The second course salad was molded into a little cylinder of baby arugula with mozzarella and ripe tomatoes. Both inventive and delicious. Desert souffles were classic and as good as they can get. All and all the perfect meal in an out of the way location. We are even thinking of booking a room at the Inn next time Don't miss it if you are in...

This was our first experience at a B&B and I really feel like every B&B after this will have large shoes to fill. Linda and Mark made our stay so warm and charming; their personalization on everything really shows and they want their guests to be comfortable, happy, and well-fed! ||||We arrived early and were able to check-in, but were not even expecting to be able to go to our room since we were so early. Mark greeted us warmly and told us that the room was not ready (not surprisingly), but kept apologizing like it was his fault! He showed us around the house, which is so cozy, and gave us a plethora of things to do. ||||The breakfasts are delicious and beautifully served (and there is plenty of food - you certainly will not go hungry). Honestly, I could go on and on about our experience, but you definitely should just check it out yourself. The only thing I will say is that the noise from the road is a bit loud (it's a busy street), but that really did not change anything. I would much prefer to be closer to the street with the beautiful view than farther away. Thank you so much Linda and Mark, we will...

I did not stay at the inn but only came for dinner. Also, I don't often give 5-star reviews (have I ever? I'll need to look back at my history). Coming from New York City, my bar for French cuisine is set pretty high. The restaurant at The Young town Inn, settled on the top of a hill outside of the busier town of Camden, is worth the 10 minute drive. It's a quiet and romantic setting. Well lit and open without any crowding of tables. Don't mistake "quiet and romantic" as stuffy and old because it's not at all. In fact, there's a liveliness and energy in this little inn that brought a smile to my face. The halibut was cooked perfectly, as well as it could have been. The local vegetables in the salad as fresh and vibrant as if they were picked from the back yard with a dressing as subtle as it needed to be. The souffle... It was good but could use a little more practice. The wine list truly impressed me. Nothing trendy in here, everything carefully selected and reasonably priced. I will come back, only next time, I'll bring my family and stay at the inn. This place is a gem hiding in the...
