Dining room at The White Barn Inn Restaurant, Kennebunk, METhe elegant New England décor is unfussy, almost rustic, changing each season with an array of local flora seen through windows and on each table in the restaurant's luxurious dining rooms. You are somewhere special. Quirky sculptures top the white-linen-covered tables at which you’ll encounter classic European service that yields a sense of consummate hospitality. Chef Jonathan Cartwright’s four-course prix-fixe menu changes each week---and there are plenty of choices within each course---but it always showcases his classical skills and contemporary sensibilities. Try crispy braised pork with pickled shiitake mushrooms or a Parmesan "bon bon" with prosciutto foam. Maine is soundly represented in dishes like North Atlantic halibut filet with a red onion jam glaze, fall succotash, Little Neck clams and late harvest tomato fondue. The $98 flat rate---plus $48 more for well-chosen wine pairings from the 7,000-bottle-strong cellar---seems more than fair for an evening you won’t soon forget.
