Dennett's Wharf, Castine, Maine

Dennett's Wharf in Castine Maine is on the same waterfront as the Maine Maritime Academy.
Yes it's a drive but if you are in the area definitely worth a drop in.

 Turk beer and beans nibblings for the table.

 Inside view

 Lamb shank (yes I was hungry)

 Burgher (or rice if you prefer)

 Paresh's eggplant after he ate half.   Paul and he both had a "mucver" appetizer - check out the menu!

None of these were spicy enough for Paresh... required supplemental red pepper topload.

Remains of the day...
Thank you, Anthony Hopkins.
