Arrows Restaurant * Ogunquit, Maine
Voted one of the top 50 US restaurants by Gourmet Magazine, Arrows
Restaurant is in an 18th century farmhouse overlooking prized flower, herb
amd vegetable gardens on the edge of dense woods, just minutes from the
rocky Maine coast. Acclaimed for their inventive, seasonal cuisine, service
and old-world ambiance, Arrows incorporates their homegrown herbs and
vegetables into magnificent creations inspired by Clark and Mark's
international travels. For the garden salad at Arrows, they use whatever is
best in the garden at the time. Herbs, field greens and even flowers have
different flavors that will take a salad of simple lettuce from a
monchromatic experience to the level of a rich,
flavor tapestry. For dinner reservations and promise of a memorable evening,
