Sea Glass

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Where Maine's Coastline Meets the Table

Sea Glass sits inside Inn by the Sea, a beachfront resort perched along a mile of sandy shoreline in Cape Elizabeth — just outside Portland. The setting alone is striking: ocean views frame every meal, whether you're dining at lunch or settling in for a leisurely dinner as the Maine light fades over the water.

The restaurant's philosophy is straightforward and rooted in place. The kitchen draws on the freshest ingredients from the farms and fishermen of Maine, letting the region's natural abundance shape the menu. This is American cuisine in its most honest form — seasonal, sourced close to home, and shaped by the people who grow and catch it.

A Wine List Worth Noting

Wine Spectator recognized Sea Glass with its Best of Award of Excellence in 2023, a distinction that reflects genuine depth and curation in the cellar. For guests who care about what's in the glass as much as what's on the plate, that recognition carries real weight.

Part of Something Larger

Sea Glass is the dining heart of Inn by the Sea, a resort that also offers a spa, event spaces with ocean views, and accommodations ranging from beach suites to cove suites. Outdoor seating brings guests even closer to the shoreline, and the full-service bar rounds out the experience. Private dining and catering are available for groups and special occasions.

Whether you're a resort guest or driving in from Portland for the evening, Sea Glass offers a grounded, well-crafted American dining experience with the Maine coast as its backdrop.
