We have been regulars for about two years, and the quality of the food is now as good as anywhere within 30 miles of our home in Damariscotta. Coupled with a unique traditional New England Inn atmosphere, a meal here always makes for a memorable experience. Last night, my choices were local Pleasant Cove oysters, Poached pear salad with blue cheese, duck confit with roasted potatoes and a cranberry gastric/slurry, and a chocolate torte. All I can say is that all were outstanding! If you are in the Damariscotta area, do yourself a favor, and try the Bradley Inn. P.S. last night they were also visited by a Triumph Motorcycle marketing team from England that was filming at the nearby Lighthouse. They have good taste!

I chose this inn because the chef is celiac and all the food is gluten free. My expectations were high and chef Ross exceeded them. The dishes were comfort food but with creative depth and so delicious. It was so refreshing to be able to order a meal and not have the server say "well we can substitute and make that dish gluten free" These plates are served as they were designed. Fabulous. Judging from oohs ahhs and yummys around me, even non gluten freers were very impressed. These are ample portions, beautifully presented. I don't think people missed their bread at all. Hands down the best meals I have had out... ever...and I have eaten in many high end award winning restaurants. Be one of the lucky ones and experience this dining experience before Ross is so popular you can't get a reservation. A destination worthy meal. Oh, and the Inn is nice too! Don't be put off by the slightly scruffy exterior and dated lobby/ halls. The rooms are beautiful. Bright, airy with a Scandanavian vibe. The owners are friendly and make you feel like you are a guest in their home. Do yourself a favor and book this inn with dinner before they move on to bigger things. I see many stars in their future!

We loved our dinner at The Bradley Inn. Beginning with Suzie's fabulous Manhattan, to the freshest Pemequid oysters and Halibut. We truly enjoyed the setting with a relaxed and warm ambience.

Kathy is the best waitress we have ever had! The food was fantastic-as usual!!! We love it there even though we are only here on Pemaquid peninsula for a short time.

The Bradley Inn is an absolute gem of a restaurant inside a historic hotel. You have the option to sit indoors in the historic tavern or outside in their well landscaped garden. The service is warm and welcoming, and the was a very good selection of items to choose from on the menu. Everything we ordered was delicious.

Breakfast was delicious! Fresh fruits, tasty muffins and great breakfast quiche! Dinner was fabulous too. Started with the crab cakes appetizer and they were the perfect choice. For our main course We had fresh caught haddock that was the best we've ever had! Light, flakey and cooked perfectly! We Also had the pico de gallo that was fantastic! Wasn't expecting to order Cuban inspired food but after seeing it on the table next to us I had to try it. I travel to Miami often and order it often at popular Cuban restaurants. This was the best pico I've ever had! It was made with delicious tenderloin steak that was seasoned to perfection. Whether you're staying at the Bradly inn or just visiting for the day you need to have dinner here!

We love the Bradley Inn! Just fresh back from our annual stay at the Inn. It’s such a perfect getaway. The rooms are well appointed, very clean and comfy- we love the third floor facing the back so you can see the gorgeous sky and ocean off in the distance - and while you won’t see alot of people working during your stay, all you have to do is text or call and you will get what you need. Lovely back deck and yard to relax with a book. It’s quiet, no tv, perfect place to disconnect. No AC in the rooms so keep that in mind if that’s something you need. Most Maine nights are cool. I enjoy their yummy morning breakfast and I LOVE their homemade blueberry muffins - so much so that I emailed Laura begging to have them for one morning during my 3 night stay and she made sure I had them each morning. Thank you again Laura! Can’t wait for our return.

Took old friends to one of our favorite restaurants. It was a busy post-4th night, but the service was very good, and the food delicious. It's a lovely old building with some bigger rooms and cozy corners. They will do their best to accommodate your wishes.

Wow where do I even begin!!!! Last minute my fiance and I decided to elope at pemaquid lighthouse. I reached out Laura to book two rooms for us and our photographers, as well as asked about a possible wedding dinner for the 4 of us. Let me just Tell you, Laura, Tony, and Ross went above and far beyond our expectations!!!! We were treated like family from the minute we began our journey to our elopement with them!!! They upgraded us to a beautiful room and set it up beautifully, they prepare a delicious 3 course meal in the morning! Laura baked the most delicious wedding cake for us! It was honestly a dream, a movie how perfect this moment was! Ross created a gorgeous 5 course meal all from scratch, ordering in food from local vendors. The rooms and food were all decorated with their own locally grown fresh flowers! Almost everything is gluten free!!! They work with your dietary needs too!! I’ve never felt more at home than I did at the Bradley inn! The day after my elopement it was also Laura and Tony’s 41st wedding anniversary!!! It felt as though everything was meant to be, to witness a live so beautiful and so strong that has held 41 years and will continue is a beautiful start to our marriage to see what hard work, love, dedication, and kindness will take you! Thank you so much! This was a dream, I hope many people will get to experience your kindness, hospitality, professionalism, warmth, and delicious food!!! I cannot thank you enough!!!!

The Inn is a very hospitable place to stay in the area. The linens are wonderful and the bed was comfortable. We had an excellent dinner: Hubbard squash soup, Maine raw oysters, and a Cuban Piccadilly. Breakfast was bagels, cold smoked salmon with cream cheese, capers and onions, a nice breakfast cake and fruit. We certainly did not leave hungry!
