moonlight on the water - View this location on map

'the cape arundel inn (207-967-2125) occupies a grand shingle style cottage built in 1895 with views of the wide open atlantic right across the road. the old kennebunkport crowd, sporting blue blazers, big jewelry and vintage chanel, hangs here, and you're likely to overhear phrases like 'i almost sailed off without my purse!' flickering candle lamps and a piano player who obliges your requests for jazz ballads add to the aura of moonlight sparkling on the water. the menu offers subtle twists on regional fare like grilled fillet of salmon crowned with a brunoise of vine-ripened tomatoes, fresh basil and sea salt served with roasted fingerling potatoes ($27.50). keep your eyes open for a couple of empty wicker chairs on the porch after dinner.''
