We are proud to announce that Red Sky is one of the twenty restaurants chosen by Table Arts Media for their new book, Fresh From Maine.
"Author Michael Sanders takes you deep into the world of 20 Maine chefs, their stories, challenges—and even a few secrets—with more than 50 of their recipes capturing the bounty of this land and its waters. Photographer Russell French offers a lush mix of portraits, images of the chefs at work, and their art on the plate.
"All of these chefs share one thing:
working in the sustainable idiom with local farmers, animal
raisers, and fishermen to bring the best, all-natural food,
much of it organic, to their tables." Read
more from the book's brochure (PDF format)
"Red Sky continues to bring big-city dining sensibilities to its little village. Meals take New England ingredients to creative heights, using French and other Continental techniques and accents." Read more
"Whether you're dressed for a night on the town or have just tied your boat up at the pier, you feel comfortable at this downtown restaurant." Read the rest of the online review here. (If you've dined at Red Sky, you can write your own review and share your thoughts with others on the Fodor's site.)

Island. It's locally-owned, includes a lot of local ingredients

importantly—serves up excellent food."
