Ogunquit, Maine – This season the historic Cliff House Resort and Spa celebrates its 1872 beginnings with treats especially for the foodie – all for under $20.

$18.72, to be exact.

In keeping with the trend toward locally grown foods, a new menu on the resort’s Ocean Terrace offers fresh native ingredients in choices like a hoisin haddock wrap, Maine blueberry pie, and Maine micro brewed beer. “Guests can choose from one of five entrees, each paired with a flight of micro brewed beer or house wine and choice of dessert,” says Chef Michael Semancik, “all just $18.72.” The breathtaking oceanfront views, bracing salt air, and pounding surf? Free.

And there’s more. An Old-fashioned, the classic cocktail, is just $8.72. The new edition of The Cliff House cookbook (with down east recipes, old time photos, and chatty anecdotes as delicious as the recipes themselves) is also $18.72 – as is a festive sparkling beverage … or boxed picnic lunch for two from the resort’s Celebration Menu.

Historic values everywhere

The Cliff House knows something about history – and authentic down east foods. The resort’s dining room is believed to be the oldest continuously operating restaurant in the State of Maine.



The 1872 specials recall an era when Elsie Jane Weare, great-grandmother of contemporary innkeeper and CEO Kathryn Weare, opened her seaside hotel, promising visitors clean rooms, fine food (three meals a day from the Weare’s own farm), fresh air and personal hospitality – all for just $6 a week.



The Cliff House Resort & Spa, located on 70 oceanfront acres in Southern Maine, offers premier guest services, fine dining, a world-class spa and conference facilities. Owned and operated by the Weare Family since 1872, resort information is located on the Web at www.cliffhousemaine.com or by calling (207) 361-1000.
