About

At The Tiller, taste an ever-evolving variety of seasonal flavors during brunch and dinner. Our ingredients focus on local purveyors and include farm-fresh local produce, line-caught fish, farm-raised meats, and homemade recipes - both newly imagined as well as passed down from generation to generation. Respectful preparations showcase native ingredients at their peak and pair perfectly with our local beer list, international wine selections, and handcrafted cocktail menu. In summer months, enjoy The Tiller menu on The Terrace - our open air, cliffside dining experience.

The Tiller restaurant is perched atop Bald Head Cliff, suspended high above the ocean, offering panoramic views of spectacular sunrises, romantic sunsets, and the infinite horizon. The location, coupled with such a thoughtfully crafted culinary offering and attentive service is, perhaps, the perfect Maine dining experience.
