Paul's Steak House - Boothbay

I've traveled alot, and have been lucky enough to enjoy beautiful meals in some truly fine places. Paul's Steak House is right up there at the top, both in presentation, quality, and service. They can definitely hold their own with their marvelous, inventive Chef, and the filet mignon I enjoyed recently was probably the best I've ever had. Kudos!

It used to be open to the public in the shoulder seasons, but with its increasing popularity and demand, the whole place, including Paul's Steak House, is members-only all season. It is closed during the winter. So, the solution is to join the Club! It is a superb value and superb in every other regard. Call them to get started with your application. I have had only top level experiences there, and the relatively new health spa and fitness center and pool add the finishing touch. And the club now has private villas available. I would say, don't miss out.

This restaurant has served, hands down, some of the consistently best, and most inventive, meals I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying . . . definitely the best filet mignon ever, along with other incredible bites. The wine selections are delicious too, and even if you don't golf, it's worth joining the club just for the monthly wine tasting dinners. As well, the service has been amazing, so it surprises me to see anything but a 5 star review. I am very certain that if anyone were to have a complaint, and they mentioned it to staff at the time, it would be addressed immediately. The restaurant is open to the public, except in high season, and in that case, you can dine equally well at the beautiful Coastal Prime ocean side restaurant that is affiliated with the country club.

A fabulous array of choices—from omelets and waffles made to order, to a carving station plus a great gravalax platter, fruits and a super veggie platter with sauces, AND the most amazing artisan pastry collection freshly made on the premises by a French pastry chef. Make this special meal occasion one of your vacation stops!!

The once a month wine dinners are simply the best! The food pairings are thoughtful, delicious, and all very unique.....fine dining at its best ! The service, camaraderie and wine knowledge are second to none. If you like fine wine and gourmet food, this is not to be missed.
