EARTH
CLOSE
Hidden Pond is thrilled to be collaborating with famed Boston chef and James Beard Award-winner Ken Oringer in creating Earth, our open air restaurant overlooking the pond and nightly bonfire.
Earth’s MENU focuses on “farm to fork” freshness, with a menu that derives inspiration from the Farm at Hidden Pond and the numerous local dairy farms, cheese makers, foragers, farmers and fisherman of the Southern Coast of Maine.

Menu highlights include Peekytoe Crab Toasts with Avocado and French Cocktail Sauce; Whole Grain Pappardelle with Fingerling Potatoes, String Beans, and Garden Pesto; Seafood Paella with Herbs and Garden Peppers; and Slow Braised Short Ribs with Farro, Cauliflower, and Currant Vinaigrette. For lighter fare at lunch, dine poolside at the Farm Bar, a rustic yet elegant lunchtime spot, overlooking our pond and organic vegetable garden.
Equally thoughtful attention has been paid to Earth’s wine and cocktail menus. Cocktails are inspired by the earth too, incorporating lemon balm, sweet cicely, and basil among other flowers and herbs. Earth will also feature a superb collection of our own infused liquors and spirits to showcase our local bounty. Wines will be available from around the world including Argentina, Australia and Chile.
Earth’s décor makes the most of its setting with a soothing and rustic palette; bringing the outdoors inside with creative use of tree trunks intricately woven into a wall design, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and an open-air patio overlooking a second on-property vegetable garden and pond. Outside in the gardens, contemporary Zimbabwe stone sculptures further enhance the natural surroundings and provide a subtle, primal undertone.
Dining at Earth is an adventure for your senses…a visually stunning dining room with incredibly high ceiling and soft flame lighting, the hand selected rhythmic music filling the air and mingling with the lively conversation. The enticing aromas wafting from the kitchen, perfectly melding with the crackling of the nightly bonfire, will lure in you for a memorable dining experience.
