My sister thought she made a 12:30 pm reservation for Mother'Day. Mother is 92. OOPS. We had to wait 30 minutes before I met up with some manager type. We were seated in the bar/other restaurant than the Mother's Day buffet main room. This took a total of 45 minutes. When we went for food there were 3 to 4... More

My husband and I recently tried this Inn after flying into Portland. We were on our way to Kennbunkport, but thought we'd try this for our first night. It is very convenient to the airport and perfect if you have a late afternoon flight. We had the most incredible dinner in their fine dining restaurant. The lobster strudel was a... More

We loved the room, the situation of the inn, the walks from the site and the service except for the main restaurant. We ate in the so-called fine dining restaurant on our first night but the ambience was cold and impersonal. The server was delightful (Polly) but she was let down by her colleagues in the kitchen. My husband has... More

We stayed here as part of a tour of New England and absolutely loved everything about it - the fabulous location, the decor, the ambience and the friendly and helpful staff. We couldn't find fault with it.

The Inn is in a gem of a location and features one of the nicest seaside hikes anywhere. However, on my second visit in three years there were glaring disappointments. For starters, service charges and Maine tax will up your already-steep tariff nearly 25%. Be prepared. We had dim lightbulbs, a broken lamp, funky heating, including a dead unit in... More

There is no finer place to sip an adult beverage than on the outside deck at The Black Point Inn. Look out over the ocean and see the view that inspired Winslow Homer to paint his beautiful seascapes. Casual is fine, but class it up a bit beyond cutoffs and jeans to do justice to the setting.

We had the chance, the past weekend, to stay at the Black Point Inn in Scarborough, Maine. Wow ! I've been eager to stay there for many years but thought this was out of our budget.

Maybe it was the late night arrival, or maybe it was the expectation that nostalgia brings (I had stayed here 30 years prior), but I was disappointed with the Black Point Inn when I arrived with my 17 year old daughter. If the definition of careworn includes carpetted stair landings that are stained, wood railings that are crumbling, an air... More

I live locally and took out of town friends for lunch to this elegant old watering hole in Prout's Neck, Maine. Fellow diners were dressed in ragged jean cut offs for the beach and the flies in the dining room were swarming around us for our entire meal. Never mind the food, it was impossible to enjoy because of the... More

Thank you for your feedback. As we move from late summer into fall we are aware of the presence of some house flies in the restaurant. This is a common seasonal occurrence for households and establishments in this proximity to the beach and otherwise in the country. As cool nights set in, our uninvited guests seek to come inside. We... More

We recently stayed at the Inn for three nights. What a wonderful place to go. The staff, from the front desk to the restaurant, was attentive and accommodating. The rooms were large, clean and the bed was firm (which is so rare these days). I was a little scared at the idea of having to eat breakfast and dinner in... More
