Past Menus

Three summers at the table, one Monday at a time

Monday Night Dinner is a weekly three-course, prix fixe dinner by chef Ben Jackson, hosted in the diner at North Haven Market on select Mondays, seasonally.

Good to Know

Monday Night Dinner is a weekly three-course, prix fixe dinner hosted in the diner at North Haven Market on North Haven Island, Maine. It is prepared by chef Ben Jackson, a James Beard Award finalist, using seasonal ingredients from the island and the surrounding region. Reservations are required.
Monday Night Dinner is $49.50 per person for three courses. The price does not include alcohol or other drinks, which are offered separately (generally about $6 to $15 each).
Card is our preferred method of payment. We're happy to split a bill equally across cards, but we aren't able to do separate, itemized checks.
No, we are not BYOB. Our license is for pouring beer and wine, and we also offer mocktails and other non-alcoholic drinks.
Pooled across the whole team — servers, kitchen, dishwasher, and chef all share in them. We feel lucky to be able to do it that way.
The menu is seasonal American and changes every week. Past dishes have included local lobster tail, bluefin tuna, slow-roasted pork loin, and a winter beef rib roast, alongside starters such as whipped feta with snap peas and desserts like olive oil cake, almond cake, and buckwheat apple crisp.
Yes. Every main course is offered with a vegetarian alternative — for example, roasted cauliflower, beets, or king trumpet mushrooms in place of the meat or fish, prepared with the same accompaniments.
Please note any allergies or dietary restrictions in your reservation, and the kitchen will do its best to accommodate them. We'll let you know if we're unable to for any reason.
Reservations open at 7:00 AM Eastern on the Wednesday before each Monday's dinner — we release one week at a time. Seating is limited, so it is best to book as soon as they open.
It's easy. When you book, your confirmation email and text message both include a link to modify your reservation — just click it to make changes.
Reservations are capped at 6 guests per party, and we're not able to seat larger groups. We're a team of seven, and on a Monday night we serve anywhere from 50 to 95 people — keeping parties to six is what lets us cook and care for everyone well. We know it's tempting to book a second table under another name to fit a bigger group, but please don't. When those tables come in together as one large party, it puts more on the kitchen at once than we can do justice — and the night suffers for everyone. Thanks for understanding and helping us keep Monday nights running smoothly.
Yes, we can. If you're arriving by boat, just let us know ahead of time by email at hello@northhaveninn.com and we'll arrange to pick you up from the town dock.
Yes. Connor at Sundial Charters runs a water taxi between Vinalhaven and North Haven — give Connor a call to arrange a ride. You'll find Connor's number, along with other boat charters and water taxis, in our island services directory.
