Experiences
A Night in Chef’s Kitchen
The ultimate Foodie experience. Seats are right at Chef’s Kitchen, where you watch the preparation and designing of a 5-Course meal (with or without cocktail/wine pairing). It is one of the finest culinary experiences you will have as a Foodie!
These evenings are by reservation only. You can reserve a single seat at Chef’s Kitchen or all of the seats for the entire evening.
Menus are pre-fixed and change nightly, incorporating foraged and some of the most locally sourced ingredients into each design!
We will design a tailored menu to meet your dietary needs when you book your reservation. It’s simple…just let Chef know of any allergies, restrictions, or strong aversions, and your designs will be accommodated just for you!

WINE-down Tuesday
Are you looking for the perfect way to unwind? Well, look no further.
Day or night, our relaxing WINE-down Tuesday is the perfect way to get you through the week. Enjoy your wine flight, a personal charcuterie board, a microbrew, and a small plate as you relax at the window high-tops, the intimate bar, or the leather seating throughout our space.
This is the perfect way to relax, unwind and spend some time reminiscing with friends. You do NOT need to make reservations for WINE-down Tuesdays. You can simply walk right in. However, reservations are highly recommended for larger parties. Contact Nicole if you think you should reserve a table.
WINE-down menus rotate each season to keep things fun and exciting.
Our beverage menu includes wine, beer, specialty libations, sparkling water, mocktails, and Maine Root Soda Pop!
Our food menu, although small, is delicious! It’s the perfect menu for someone like a Chef, who is always indecisive when going out because you can order one of each design - without any judgment!
Weekly Specials are posted to our Facebook page each week. It's always a surprise, so don't miss out!

I was blown away by our dining experience tonight. If I had one thing to give constructive criticism, it would be that I wanted one more mushroom on my small plate (they were that good)! Everything was beyond amazing! The cocktail pairings were perfect, and Nicole did an amazing job matching flavors with food and amazing drinks. Her restaurant and personality are the best backdrops for an incredible dining experience. I must say that it was the greatest meal, that was so thoughtfully thought out, with amazing flavors and spot-on presentation! It was beyond my already high expectations!!! This was such a special evening that exceeds any restaurant I have ever been to. Food Network stars, beware!

We hired Chef Nicole for a private brunch for 12 in our home. It was 3-courses of heaven. Flavors burst in our mouths. Wonderful service and fabulous food.

I think we can all agree on the food at Chef Nights by Nicole Doyle is unforgettable. But, another part of Chef Nights I’m eternally grateful for, is the friendships made. I’m grateful for the laughter, the happiness, and the memories with Nicole and other Foodies each Chef Night brings. So today (okay tonight), I raise a glass to toast Nicole and Chef Nights, not only for her delectable creations but also, for the cherished memories these nights bring.

Sneak peek into our INCREDIBLE dinner with Chef Nicole Doyle! Hands down, the best meal of my life, and I work for a hotel & restaurant company. Each course was just as spectacular as the previous one. What a fabulous night with my amazing best friends and, of course, my wonderful hub! Nicole - we seriously are still drooling. YOU ARE A GODDESS!

My dear, I thank you for your amazing, talented, gastronomic gifts and for taking a leap of faith and bringing the community together in a loving, connected environment with such creativity and pleasure. We are so blessed with a real destination place in the little town of Farmington. It was beyond amazing! Nicole, thank you for your many gifts, the space you created, the mastery of food, and your ability to transform adults into life-celebrating youth!
