THE HICHBORN - Restaurant in Stockton Springs - 10 Church St, USA

This was my husband and I's first fine dining experience... WOW! One thing we were worried about is that we would away still very hungry since fine dining has small portions (which is the only reason why we have never tried before) but rest assured you will be full. The food, atmosphere, and service was unbelievable. We did not do the wine pairings but I'm sure that was also very inspiring. We were blown away with presentation and flavor combinations of each dish. I have food restrictions (nightshades) and they were very accommodating. I ate without any fears that I might regret enjoying it so much later. We will be making a trip here from now during our yearly Maine trip.

My husband and I celebrated our first year anniversary in June 2023 here and had an exceptional and memorable dining experience. We added the wine pairing to our meal and highly recommend! We are pescatarian and the accommodations for our dietary preferences were greatly appreciated. This dinner was one for the books and a dining experience we will greatly treasure. Thank you!

My wife and I had a memorable meal at Hichborn in summer 2021, and we returned in August 2022. If anything, the experience this year was even better! Kirk and Charlie are doing great things. The $125 set menu is a relative bargain (my pictures show what each person eats). It has 7 official courses but is really 11 when you include the amuse bouche, the bread course, the sorbet course and cookies with the check. Charlie is a chef that has mastered the art of creative, technically skilled, cooking that allows the highest quality ingredients available to shine through. The wine list is well crafted. The service is attentive but not fussy. The staff is friendly and the place has a calm relaxing feel to it - a sign of a positive collaborative work environment. We will definitely return on our next trip to the Maine coast!

What a gem! Fabulous food, beautiful atmosphere, spot on service. The house is lovingly maintained and wonderfully intimate. The food is perfect for the place and season. Thanks for hosting this solo diner and feeding her so well!

A nice prefix meal in a lovely renovated mansion. Great staff. The cocktail specials were interesting and very good. The food offerings were good and the highlight was the add-on scallop and dessert. This was our second time and the food this time was not as good or interesting as last year. I still would recommend it.

I’m not about to be the first person to give these guys anything less than 5 stars! The food and atmosphere here are wonderful! Hats off to Chef Charlie and Kirk for pulling together an awesome dining experience ... the oysters were wonderful (both raw and baked versions) and the salads were good, but if in doubt, try the squash blossoms to start your meal. The cod and pork chop were wonderful, definitely worth the drive! Though I’m not a coconut kind of guy, the coconut cream pie was a rousing success for our table ... so I’m going to have to recommend it or get in trouble ... but I will say, the creme brûlée was worth saving room for. So if you’re looking for a great evening out with the grown ups, this is the place to be ... oh yeah, the cocktail list is totally worth exploring as well!

Hands down my favorite restaurant ever (and that says a lot!). The meal from start to finish was different and creative. The food was outstanding and the chef even came to stop by the table at the end of the service. Still dreaming about the maine haddock with apple butter. Will definitely be back if we're in the area again.

Had an unbelievable dinner at The Hichborn! Went while on my mini-moon, and everything from the service, atmosphere, and food was 10/10. Definitely recommend, come hungry, and pace yourself!
