A popular midcoast restaurant that’s been in business for almost half a century has been sold to new owners.
The Taste of Maine in Woolwich has been open for 48 years. The restaurant was recently sold after being on the market for four years.
In a post online, the current owners say the new owners will take over in either August or September.
They’re encouraging anyone with gift cards to use them before the change.
“This is a very emotional time for me and my family. The Taste of Maine has been our life for nearly five decades. The memories, friendships, laughter, and support you have given us over the years mean more than words could ever express. We ask that you continue to support the new owners the same way you supported us. We truly want them to succeed and continue the legacy of this special place,” the current owners said.
When asked on their post if the new owners would be changing anything, the current owners replied, “same crew, same menu.”
The Taste of Maine had been family owned and operated since 1978.
The restaurant is known for its fresh Maine lobster and seafood, as well as a dining room filled with antique collectibles from all over the state.
