What Our Diners Say

Letters From Our Diners

Barry and I had a wonderful experience celebrating our anniversary at Canterbury Royale. It's not just a meal, which I could write an in depth review about, the whole experience is unbelievable. I truly felt like we went back in time where aesthetics at a dinner table were more of a norm, than an unusual experience. The China, crystal, silverware, the table setting, the way our napkins were folded, the butter knife, and since it was our anniversary, Chef Barbara and Chef Renee went to the trouble to serve our butter in shape of a heart. Oh, did I mention, the music? It was a custom music playlist, which was chosen with just wonderful taste, to enhance our conversation, not drown out our conversations with one another. We had a private dining room and were waited on hand and foot, making us the stars of the evening. There is artwork everywhere, mostly done by Renee who is a first-class artist. This was the top service in our galaxy. Dining at the Canterbury takes you away from problems and anxieties. Magic. Now of our dinner. It was amazing. We had beef wellington, cooked to perfection for my taste. Tender as can be. The soup unbelievable. Fabulous special salad. The dessert perfect. Oh, the coffee the best ever which took them 5 years to perfect. Spoil yourself and eat at the Canterbury Royale, in Fort Fairfield, Maine.
