Love Lobster? Count the Ways at Maine’s Cliff House Resort & Spa

The Cliff House Resort and Spa on Maine’s stunning south coast has a summer special for everyone who can’t get enough of Maine’s favorite crustacean.

Lobster Five Ways is a five-course feast featuring everything from classic creamy lobster bisque to succulent lobster tail with truffle butter. Other courses include lobster spring rolls or mini lobster quesadilla with pico de gallo, lobster shrimp cake with roasted red pepper remoulade, and lobster citrus risotto. It’s everything lobster-lovers crave without the work — or the bib. All for just $52, plus tax and service charge.

Served in the resort’s dining room high atop Bald Head Cliff, each course is accompanied by sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and features freshly harvested lobster from neighboring waters. All dishes are prepared with savory ingredients from nearby growers.

Ever wonder where all those lobsters come from? To learn all about lobster lore, try the Resort’s unique Lobster Cruise Package. A summertime favorite, this package includes two nights’ ocean view lodging, two full breakfasts, full lobster dinner — and a 45-minute lobster-narrated cruise out of scenic Perkins Cove.
