We went on a Wednesday night late in the ski season. Families were coming up from Suds and drinkers lined the bar in the new Bistro 151. As always, the dining room was cozy with the fireplace going and the tables set with linens. Our waitress let us order from any of the three menus. Hubby ordered the broiled seafood... More

We stayed at the Victoria Inn and the inn keeper told us that the Sudbury Inn had great food! She was right! This Inn was very well run and the food in the Bistro and Suds Pub were great ! So great that we ate there twice ! Don't waste your time or $ anywhere else! The inn was beautiful!... More

A nice change from comfort food and noisy pubs or pizza places. Nice interior (but should remove stirofoam tiling on ceiling !), fireplace and attentive service, very well prepared food (but steak entrees were fired too early and prob sat a little in the window before being served just warm enough). Some adjustment was needed in the pace of the... More

In late December, the Sudbury opened up a new Bistro in the upstairs dining area and it's terrific! A varied but smaller menu, choice of portion size on many items, reasonable price, usual Sudbury efficient and friendly service. Pate, butterfly shrimp, phyllo cheese tidbits, delicious selection of meats and local veggies, great on-tap beers. I HIGHLY recommend! It opens around... More

This is the more spacious restaurant in the central vilage. It's a good place to go for a more intimate dinner.

For years the Sudbury Inn has been our "go to" restaurant. Unfortunately, we may have to search for someplace new. The new management seems to be moving away from fine dining and toward something more casual (a "Deli Bomb" on the menu?!). The menu is now much smaller, gone are the roast duck and beef tournedo and in their place... More

We had dinner in the dining room one night during our week long stay in Bethel. We were torn between the "fancier" dining room and the pub. I'm glad we chose the dining room. The food here is sooo very good. Service was excellent. We started with the lobster dip, the flavors are great. We took about half of the... More

We found this place while traveling through Maine to Acadia. Great room with comfortable bed, fantastic breakfast, and good service. Our room was on the front side -main road so it was a bit noisy when the windows were opened.

We loved the breakfast we had here so much we made the trip into town again that evening to enjoy their PUB in the basement and live music without a cover charge. Had a great time and lots of friendly, helpful locals.
