Why go
A tide-to-table dining room in The Whaler's Inn. Standridge works with local fishermen on a wider range of seafood, including green crab and slipper limpets. A five-course chef's tasting menu is the way to eat here.
David Standridge won the 2024 James Beard Award for Best Chef: Northeast. The kitchen leans on local fishermen, whole-animal butchery and nearby farms, and the menu changes often.
