About Us
The Reading Room offers a distinguished fine dining experience overlooking Frenchman Bay.
Start your evening with locally farmed oysters while deciding between our signature Beef Short Ribs or Filet and Lobster Tail fresh from the boats on the Harbor. Linger over a slice of Maine Blueberry Pie while you enjoy a crafted cocktail and soft piano music.
The Reading Room offers an intimate atmosphere where special moments are celebrated with family and friends.
Serving breakfast and dinner daily, the Reading Room is a one-of-a-kind dining experience. Delectable local Maine cuisine and attentive service are surpassed only by the magnificent panoramic ocean views.
Smart casual attire preferred, but not required.
