One of the worst dining experiences I've had in recent memory. We made early reservations because we were attending a show at the Skowhegan opera house later that evening. We made it a point to let our waitress know when we were seated. We were actually the first table seated that evening. We waited an hour for bread to arrive to our table, although we were served our drinks fairly quickly and the house red was a decent glass of wine. When the bread arrived, it was warm and the butter softened. However, we then waited through two baskets of bread for the single appetizer our table ordered. Our salads finally arrived and the homemade Bleu cheese dressing was really good. And then we continued to wait. Our dinner finally arrived 80 minutes after we had been seated. While the specials list was long and impressive, both my husband and I received the wrong meals. He got a basic baked haddock fish despite ordering the Cajun haddock special. I received scallops with rice pilaf that I didn't order and a baked potato on the which I did order. I didn't get the scallop special with plum sauce I had ordered. Both meals were good, what you would get at any decent Maine locale, but not what we had ordered and by that point we would have been late to the show had we sent them back. We didn't have time to even hear the desert menu, and to add insult to injury, the waitress never gave us our leftovers which we had asked to be boxed. The restaurant debit was okay, the table a bit small for a party of four... But I have to say that our water glasses were continually filled which was probably the best part of the experience. Our dining companions said they hadn't eaten at Heritage House in about 13 years and as we left, they commented they finally wouldn't return for another 13 years. I didn't take any photos of our meals. They were typical plating for seafood dishes. Also be prepared to spend $100 or more for two including appetizers and drinks.
