    My wife and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary last night and the staff at Earth did a fantastic job. Curt our waiter was exceptional and the food was phenomenal. The combination of ingredients was very palatable as well as the presentation. I highly recommend Earth for their food and service and consider it to be one of the best dinning experiences we have ever had.

    We went there for my girlfriend’s birthday. It was her first time there. Every aspect of the experience was spectacular: the timing, the food, etc. my girlfriend said it was the best meal she had ever had in Maine.

    Earth at Hidden Pond offers a charming dining experience, though finding it after sunset can be a challenge. We couldn't get an earlier reservation but arrived at 8 PM to find the dining room nearly empty. The flexible three- or four-course menu offered plenty of appealing choices. We enjoyed everything we ordered, from the salad and steak tartare to the lobster pasta, seafood stew, and desserts. All were delicious, though nothing truly exceptional. The dining room is warm and inviting, especially by the fireplace on a chilly evening. Overall, a lovely setting and enjoyable meal, but pricey for what it delivers—not the best value.

    My wife and I have been there a number of times and our friend from Florida saw a post on instagram about Earth and she really wanted to go when she visited us. So we went the other night and she was not disappointed, she had the 4 course set menu and she couldn’t decide which one she loved the most. And the same with us, it was terrific! What the waitress did this time was to bring out an appetizer that we didn’t order and a dessert, very nice to do! We’ll be back!
