We sat on the deck overlooking their courtyard-like garden, which was tucked in by teeming foliage and expansive awnings... blocking the setting sun. The air was filled with the aroma of ocean spray and the intoxicating wood-fired scents coming fromthe kitchen. When we sat down at the table, a cold, olive green carafe of water was waiting for us. Salt and pepper sat inoyster shells along the inner edge of the table, waiting to be served with the miniature wooden spoon accompanying them. Myhusband ordered a bourbon-based cocktail, a Paper Plane, while I ordered a tequila-based smoky cocktail, the Mezcal Mule. ThePaper Plane came served with the tiniest paper plane clipped to the glass with the tiniest clothespin. My Mezcal Mule, toppedwith chili powder and mixed with ginger beer, cucumber, and lime, tasted smoky and spicy met with cool and refreshing. Forappetizers we ordered the crab artichoke dip and oysters. The crab was so fresh, and as a native Mainer who is quite seasoned infinding shells in a crab dishes especially, I am delighted to say there were none. It was also an unexpectedly enormous portion,with nearly an entire sliced baguette for dipping, which made my decision to order a salad easier. My husband enjoyed hisoysters (I do not like them in general so I didn?t eat any) and helped to finish the crab and artichoke dip when he wasdone. For our entrees, I ordered the Summer Salad with grilled chicken, and my husband ordered the Seapig pizza. The summersalad came out with pickled blueberries, roasted almond slices, and small wedges of Brie cheese, topped with grilled chicken. Itwas the perfect complement to the aforementioned rich appetizer. The Seapig pizza? a wood-oven fired scallop and bacon pizza?wastruly the most succulent pizza I?ve ever had. And THE CRUST. Oh my. It was so fresh and tender paired with just the right amountof crisp. The entire experience was truly overwhelming in the best way. Kudos to the chef(s) and bartender(s), along Read more

The Fin & Fern is a must-visit if you are in Stonington. The food is fresh and delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed my scallops... entree and Blueberry Mojito. Hubby's pasta was homemade and delicious. The atmosphere is fun - we sat outside at a table next toa stone wall upon where we could sit and sip our drinks. When it got cool, the staff brought out blankets for those who wantedthem. All around, it was a fine experience. We'll definitely come back when we are in Stonington again! Read more

Amazing location and absolutely delicious food! We enjoyed multiple meals here with friends while vacationing in coastal Maine.... The menu is seasonal and you can?t go wrong with any choice, but I highly recommend getting a pizza and another appetizer or twoand split with your table in addition to your individual entree. Don?t forget a whoopie pie to go! Read more

When planning a vacation to Deer Isle/Stonington, The Island Agency highly recommends a visit to Fin & Fern Restaurant! Fin &... Fern offers indoor and outdoor dining. The ambience is incredibly warm & welcoming. Their staff is very friendly andknowledgable to the area. Enjoy fresh flowers on the table and a beautiful water view looking out towards the working harbor.Maine Oysters & Lobster is a must! If seafood is not a favorite, try their delicious homemade pasta or ribeye! The dessert caseis hard to miss, looking you right in the eye through dinner. Save room for a homemade tarte, creme brûlée, or pie. Make areservation early to ensure your seating preference is met. The manager & staff look forward to accommodating you here!

I made a reservation thru google. When we arrived we were told that we had an outdoor table. It was 55 degrees 50 degrees when... we got back to the car. There was no protection from the wind. There were no space heaters. They did offer lap blankets,which was not enough. The wine was mee. I got a glass of the house pinot noir, it tasted like the bottle was a couple days old. My wife had tea. There was no individual hot water kettle for my wifes tea beg. I dont think tea is popular in Maine. Thelobster was perfectly done. My wifes noodles were sticky and not el dente. The crab cakes were mushy. I understand aboutcovid. No won can get any help and restrictions. So thats why i didnt give 3 stars. It probably was a 3 star experience. Mywife was cold. If you go try to make your reservation for inside. Read more
