Dinner

A short menu that follows the boats and the farms: local fish, shellfish, vegetables from inland Maine and bread baked each afternoon.

Dinner at Tidewick is a short menu, written each week around what comes in: fish landed at the Portland Fish Exchange, shellfish from Casco Bay and the Damariscotta River, and vegetables, grains and dairy from farms a couple of hours inland. Short means everything on it is cooked from scratch that day.

The sample menu

  • Small plates: warm bread with cultured butter, crispy Brussels sprouts with cider glaze, steamed mussels with white wine and herbs, a chowder of hake and potato.
  • Mains: pan-roasted haddock with brown butter, seared scallops with squash, a half lobster with corn and potatoes in season, roasted mushrooms with farro.
  • Desserts: blueberry crisp, a buttermilk panna cotta and a cheese from a Maine creamery.

Drinks

A short list of wines chosen to go with seafood, beer from Portland's breweries, Maine cider and a few cocktails. Non-alcoholic drinks are made with the same care: shrubs, house sodas and good tea.

Questions about this service

Does the menu change?

A few dishes change most weeks, with what the boats land and the farms send. The core of the menu changes with the seasons.

Can you cook for allergies?

Tell us when you book and again at the table. Many dishes can be made without gluten, dairy or shellfish; the kitchen will say plainly when one cannot.

Is there something for vegetarians?

Every night there is at least one vegetable main and several small plates without meat or fish, marked on the menu.
