THE COPLIN DINNER HOUSE - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Wow!!! What a great discovery. The Italian-inspired dishes are delicious, very well balanced, and in good portions. This restaurant is undoubtedly worth a detour.

I have had good burgers in Canada, the US, England, Wales, and the Republic of Ireland. Than Angus burger that I just had at the Coplin Dinner House was, hands down, the BEST burger I have ever had. They grind the meat in-house so you can safely get a medium cook on the meat. I could waffle on about the fine details but you really need to come and experience it yourself. Well done everyone at the Coplin Dinner House!!! Thank you for a magnificent dinner!

Place is incredible! Food is spectacular, service is great and reasonably priced for awesome steaks and other dinners!

The whole experience was excellent. Courteous and attentive service. The food was exceptional.

Left More to Be Desired- There’s a few things I think could be done better to improve experience and atmosphere. I understand we are far from the ocean and from major distributors, so it’s hard to get amazing ingredients but our food lacked flavor that a $50 entree should have. We got the lamb and it was unevenly cooked (I asked for MR, in some places it was completely cooked through and tough.) the crust was over garlicky and the dish lacked any sort of sauce. The Coplin Salad was very small and really simple, the presentation could be much better. Another thing that really eerked me out was the paper napkins. I am not a cloth napkin snob, but if we’re paying upwards for $150 per person (with drinks) then we should get cloth napkins. We were a party of 6 and they just put a bunch of small tables together, which made it really crammed and uneven. (Even though we made our reservation a long time ago.) The atmosphere made it very hard to hear others (even tho it wasn’t very loud) and our service was really slow. (About 2hours 30 min.) I don’t necessarily blame our waitress as she was really nice, but if the kitchen can’t handle a certain amount of people, then you should scale back your capacity. All in all, I would not come back and would not recommended. I come from the service industry and have worked in fine dining, this was very expensive for little benefit. A lot to be improved.

Great evening on the Wed special with friends. Meatloaf outstanding, and steak tips reported great. Don't miss the Old Fashioned. A food and service - looking forward to heading North again.

Outstanding dinner. Daughter's wedding party. Everyone was pleased with the meals and service.

Had the lamb over the New Years weekend. Once it came, all I cared about was that. Didn't talk to anyone at my table until the plate was empty. And the Old Fashioned....

The best food in Maine! Worth the drive from Sugarloaf

Incredible food, great atmosphere and top notch service. Every time.

Cozy atmosphere with exceptional food. A little pricy but worth every penny. The steak was excellent, but the scallop carbonara stole the show. An absolutely outstanding meal with friendly knowledgeable servers.

At the end of a long wet motorcycle drive Anya was a God send. She made the rest of the evening great with service with a smile ☺️ the food was awesome, I would have never expected a stuffed halibut like I had here in a far flung corner of Maine. I will definitely make a point to line up my next drive through with their opening time. Well worth the stop!

5 star casual dining. Almost an oxymoron. Not really. Very good. Rural,yet very close to professionals ranked public access golf course and ski resort. 80-100 $ per person on average. Enjoy.

Always a great time with beautiful cocktails and delicious food. The staff is all super friendly!

Food is awesome!!!thank you for the great service!!

This place is amazing!!! Relatively expensive for the area, but so worth it. Everything we had was SO good!!!

The food may be really good but I'm not sure. We wanted something faster as we were on the road so we were directed to the bar area. My pulled pork was very good but the medium burger my wife ordered was leaking all over the place and had to be sent back for more cooking. The food was terribly slow and it took us over 45 minutes for pub fare that should have taken 15 minutes to serve. Also the pulled pork sandwich and burger were about $20 so not a great price for the meal.

Absolutely delicious. Even the bread and butter is awesome.

Great menu, quaint vibe, and wonderfully pleasant staff. The Coplin Dinner House is a modified home that boasts an upscale dining experience situated in the mountains. The warm burrata was a delicious appetizer, and the steaks (filet and ribeye) were cooked perfectly. My mouth is watering just thinking about the meal we enjoyed last night.

Outstanding food. We had wonderful fresh seafood in the mountains. The scallop carbonara was very flavorful, and filling. The tuna poke appetizer was fresh and balanced. The quality rivaled any high quality restaurant in a bigger city. Thank you

Amazing food, a gem we found along the way to Fredericton!

generally good food but some of ours was overcooked so a little disappointed.. Otherwise a little pricey

Food is phenomenal whether you order off the pub menu or the dinner menu. Great selection of cocktails.

I have driven by this restaurant/pub so many times in the past decade on route to the Loaf. Always wanted to go. I was absolutely impressed by every aspect of this restaurant/pub. We ended up eating in the pub area, lively,great atmosphere. 1. Service- From walking in the door to drinks and dinner the service was 5 stars. Quick, polite,helpful. 2. The drinks were perfectly mixed. A Maine Martini and the Coplin Spring were great options. 3. The Apps, Lobster Bisque and The Seared Tuna,both were perfect. Bisque was rich and creamy, The Tuna was seared rare to perfection on top of seared rice cakes with a lovely hoisin sauce. Nice portions, not too much. 4. Mains- I was blown away by their Bolognese with Fresh fettuccine. Perfect balance in their sauce, fresh perfectly cooked pasta, lovely tender pork. The Osso Buco was possibly the best I have ever tasted. Rich, not salty. Fall off the bone and tender, a perfect savoury gravy on top of mashed parsnips with green beans. I would eat there every night if I could. Bravo.

Warm room. Great service Delicious food, all courses. This was a great meal in CV

Awesome meal in Stratton, Maine. Always a great dinner ski week.

This was my second time here, and again they did not disappoint. In my opinion, this is the only place to go for a “fancy” dinner while visiting sugarloaf. The maple butter is to die for, and the food is excellent!

Another wonderful time with friends and amazing food.

Local fine dining watering hole with top-notch beers, wines and cocktails. The menu changes frequently, but when available, go for the brussel sprouts or the lobster bisque. The scallop carbonara was delicious, as was the carrot cake. Portions were plentiful, and they even have a 3 course meal option for $57.

The food is delicious. Our server was fairly indifferent. Clean bathrooms.

Food was great. Kitchen was a little backed up, but a couple killer cocktails made the wait ok!

Always delicious! The Brussels sprouts are my favorite and I can’t wait to go back!

Fine dining in the sticks! Great service and food, a bit pricey but fine dining typically is. I would go back for sure.

Absolutely amazing. From the bread, to the appetizer, to the drinks, to the entree. I would go back to this place again and again.

This is an amazing place in an out of the way corner of the world. The food was outstanding, and so was the service.

Appetizers, Entrées, and desserts were all excellent.

Charming from the old farm house feel with creeky floors to the warm and welcoming staff. Our bartender Heidi was pleasant and poured a tasty drink. Our dinners were scrumptious, cooked perfectly and plentiful. We'll be back.

Best place ever food delicious We celebrated our wedding anniversary STRONGLY RECOMMEND

Simply one of my favorite restaurants in New England!!!

The food (veal osso bucco) and the service are both excellent. The restored farmhouse setting just pushes this place right over the top! If you spend 24 hours or more up in the Sugarloaf area and you don't dine here, it is definitely your loss.

The vibe, food, drink, service is 100%.

Great find in the sugarloaf area. Great food and service.

Truly a gem. Food is thoughtful and delicious. Staff is warm and friendly. Can't wait to return!

Phenomenal from beginning to end. No complaints.

Heidi was lovely and truly impressive in her ability to juggle so much all at once. This was the best meal we had our entire time away. Love their commitment to locally sourced ingredients.

Loved my corn chowder. The lobster roll was ok, I wasnt a fan of the peas.

Always a great meal! Updated 9-30-20 My wife and I brought our Aunt and Uncle here for dinner again last night. I wasn't sure it could get better but it was. All four of our meals were absolutely delicious. If you haven't eaten here you are missing out. The portions are generous and the cooking is some of the best I have ever had. Truly a hidden gem in Coplin Plantation Maine. Truly a pleasure. Already looking forward to our next visit. Bon Appétit!

Haven't had good food and excellent service since San Francisco!!!!!! Wonderful food and great service. Well worth it.

Amazing local fare. Fresh foods and amazing craft cocktails. Great service and such a cute place!

Fabulous! Everything is amazing and excellent, staff is warm and friendly, a perfect place for a special occasion

Portland has some great restaurants but if you haven’t been to The Coplin Dinner House you need to go. My husband and I had pheasant and venison with root vegetables in mashed potatoes. I don’t usually eat venison but it was amazing! Both meals were perfectly done! My dessert was strawberry shortcake with homemade biscuit and homemade whipped cream. I could have eaten the biscuit alone. It was the fluffiest, tastiest biscuit. I am a baker and I have never made one that good! Our waitress was the best also! We will go back every chance we can.

The menu is remarkable, and I can honestly say we had one of the finest restaurant meals in our lives. The service was great, and the restaurant is a lovely space.

Great food, fantastic wait staff

Great dinner spot near Sugarloaf. Locally raised meats prepared to perfection.

Always great quality, friendly service. Great ambience.

Excellent food, service a long way from "civilization". Such a find!

Great menu option, cooked to perfection with impeccable service

The food is great. The service is great. The portions are ridiculously large.

Fantastic locally sourced vittles, friendly service. You won't regret one bite.

Dinner was delicious as always... The new appetizer of cauliflower vindaloo was amazing

We came off a paddle on flagstaff lake this weekend, and were able to get seats..in the cozy bar. Full menu. Pork Ragu my son ordered...was outstanding. Owners work very hard and it shows. My Tuna Poke was excellent. This is a little gem in Bigelow Carrabasset area. Busy restaurant with wonderful food. We will be back.

Great food, great service and reasonably priced! Would definitely recommend!!

A great place for dinner and drinks. The food is absolutely amazing! Highly recommend to anyone I know who is within a day's drive from there. We cannot wait to come back! Thank you for the great service and atmosphere.

Great Farm to table Restaurant! It's comparable to a 5 star restaurant in NYC! Love it!

Excellent place for a very nice dinner. Pub food available in the bar. Great service, quiet dining.

Amazing! Great food, wonderful service

Very good food! Glad that we stopped by in our ski trip!

Amazing food. Every course was wonderful and overate.

Great food great service great time

Great service, great food. Got the best secluded table in the house with reservations. Prices were decent and huge a menu to pick from.

Great food... friendly staff... nice farmhouse atmosphere...

Very good dinner, prices matched the quality of food. My only criticism would be that it's very loud. Not much but hardwood in the restaurant for noise to amplify everywhere.

Great food & service for our large group (9).

Service was great along with the food and atmosphere

What a lovely surprise. We had an excellent dinner here when we stayed overnight at the Spillover on our way to Bar Harbor.

Busy, but very friendly staff. The food was well prepared and plentiful.

This place was absolutely delicious. The food was amazing, tasty and left you with a satisfied and full stomach - the lobster bisque was heavenly. The staff were very friendly and patient - considering we were the last group left having arrived to eat with only an hour left of service. Highly recommend this place - especially if you are staying at the Spillover Motel which is right next door. Recommend the lobster bisque, grilled pork chop, scallop carbonara and lazy Maine lobster.

Excellent food. I was not expecting anything so good. The tuna appetizer was delicious and the seafood pie was about the best I ever had. We went on Wed. Which has the 2 for $32 special a real bargain.

Every so often something in my travels takes my breath away. It can be a stunning, picturesque view or a spiritual feeling a place gives me, or sometimes it’s the taste of real, good food. I had one of those moments at the Coplin Dinner House in Stratton, Maine, home to Maine’s famous skiing adventure land: the Sugarloaf Mountain. Not only is it a beautiful area with stunning wilderness and impressive mountains, the Carrabassett Valley area offers the summer visitor a wealth of attractions, from panoramic hikes to kayaking and nearby whitewater rafting. The Coplin Dinner House was the absolute best restaurant I encountered on my travels through Maine, because they know the meaning behind serving real, authentic, healthy and wholesome food, and the flavors come screaming out with each and every bite. Where most of Maine focuses on lobster, lobster rolls, and other seafood, typically steamed or deep fried, the Coplin Dinner House has pushed the bar far and away above all the rest. Sure, there are other fine restaurants around Maine, but if you are coming for a visit on your vacation, I beg that you do not miss this stop in beautiful Carrabassett Valley. I promise you won’t be disappointed! The Coplin Dinner House has a lovely farm next door to their restaurant which supplies many of their iconic and ever-changing meals; and you can even wander around and visit their happy pigs and other livestock. The restaurant itself is a converted farmhouse that has been given a classy touch with homey feel that made my newly wed wife Leah and I feel at home; as did the owner Heidi and her staff of sweethearts. Our table had a view of Sugarloaf and beside our table were fresh flowers and succulents. We started our memorable evening with one of the in-house Tigerlily Pub’s cocktails, which eased the day’s tension wonderfully before we started into quite the feast. Leah had a tequila, berry, and thyme cocktail and I had their spin on a bourbon old-fashioned that was delectable. We started with fresh bread and an appetizer of poster bisque, which was our first time having it fresh, and it was so creamy. For entrees, Leah and I passed Chargrilled Filet Mignon, Salmon, and their Seafood Bake back and forth, and it was an explosion of perfect flavors. There was no need for salt or pepper as every dish was immaculately made and compiled aesthetically for optimal effect. The filet mignon was tender and absolutely bursting with flavor, over a bed of fresh mashed potatoes, gravy and with a side of fresh greens. The salmon came with a vinaigrette with mushrooms, spinach and green bean and carrots as a side. Both were exceedingly delectable, however, it was the Seafood Bake that stole the show. The bake had a baked potato shell with a sort of cheesy chowder-like seafood soup inside, with scallops, haddock, and lobster. For desert, we shared a berry crumble with a cinnamon bourbon ice cream that blew my mind, and taste buds. Our entire experience was over the top amazing and will forever live in our memories as a highlight from our honeymoon in Maine. I had the pleasure of speaking further with Heidi throughout the night and found that her passion for growing and serving the best of the best in authentic cuisine stems from her understanding of nature and our place in the world; and without getting too political, I will say that meeting her and seeing her operation gave me hope for humanity.

Delicious, delicious, delicious! Scallop Carbonara + Mojito. So amazing!

Service was okay. Food was great

Can fine dining really be fun...at the Coplin Dinner House you will find delicious, inspired food in a beautiful setting served graciously. And you will want to come back night after night because you can't make up your mind as to which temptation to order plus it just feels like coming home; that is if your home is a restored and polished 19th century farmhouse decorated with the vibrant photos of brilliant photographers John and Cynthia Orcott! Come for the food inspired by local produce and the chef/owner's farm. Stay for the ambience!

This is first place you need to stop for food when you enter the US and the last place before entering Canada. I had the pork belly bahn mi and I’m convinced everything is amazing.

I’ll admit that going in I had fairly low expectations. I’ve been to a few “nice” restaurants in the middle of nowhere due to skiing. I know how it typically goes - you walk away with a bill that’s too big and an experience that while good was nowhere close to the great reviews the restaurant received. I expected something similar. Collin Dinner House did not live up to my expectations. The food was actually excellent! The bill was a bit pricy but it was absolutely worth it and overall not that bad considering the quality of the food. Each entree and appetizer was delicious. I did the three course meal and was very pleased. The filet topped with bacon marmalade was excellent. Definitely something I would love to reproduce at home. It was a great way to incorporate some bacon into steak without being lazy about it (bacon wrapped? Lazy). The best part, however, may have been the desserts. The fried donut was excellent. As was the deep fried ganache. Absolutely perfect way to end the meal. Don’t skip dessert, even if you have to share (you won’t want to after the first bite).

Great food,atmosphere,and the staff are all really friendly,highly reccomend

Excellent farm to table foods with good local beers and spirits. Fun atmosphere and great staff.

The lobster bisque is amazing! Well everything is really good. It is not a cheap place be warned

Cozy and awesome food, may be a tad pricy.

It's amazing that they have a vegan option! <3 Food was delicious and service very fast! Would recommend to anyone:)
