"Sept. 30, 2021 No wooden desks, chalk board erasers, and school teacher ringing a bell at this Old School House ! On the contrary, new owners “ punched it up” a notch or two into a cozy stylish restaurant with a eclectic menu selection ! This isn’t your typical seashore restaurant with the Captain’s Seafood fried platter with fries. You’re in for a delicious meal! I rate this a solid 4.8 for quality of food good service!Only a short drive East on Rt.123 into Harpswell, our party of 3 had reservations! Old School House is now owned by Chef Joe Arena, and Chris Gardner. Our server Sophia brought over a red wine selections range from $26 to $130 a bottle) I ordered a Maine beer (over 15 selections of Maine beers). Then you have a interesting choice to make on appetizers:*Parmesan Tempura Fried Pumpkin*BBQ Heirloom Carrots Broccoli*Hand breaded Calamari*Fresh Baked FocacciaYour dinner entrees only get more difficult:*Grilled Salmon $35*Ale braised short Rib $34*Eggplant Ratatouille $30*Braised Lamb Shepherds Pie $34*Moulard Duck Leg Confit $34*King Prawn Orchiette Pasta $31Our dinner was delicious, unfortunately we didn’t have room for desserts, next time! You ‘ll see photos of my Lamb Shepherds Pie, my wife’s grilled Salmon, and our Maryland friend’s King Prawn Orchiette Pasta, all fantastic!You’ll need reservations, and check their website for times menu selections! Hours limited as are days open. I wish there was more of a view out the windows, but our service was courteous timely Sophia) !We’d definitely return for another Farm to table meal prepared by Chef Joe! Thank you!"
