Why go
The Well at Jordan's Farm is the Cape Elizabeth choice for a farm-setting dinner rather than a quick seafood stop or hotel dining room. Book it when atmosphere and a slower evening matter; cross-shop The Lobster Shack, CBK, or Sea Glass if you need a clearer casual format, coastal seafood, or more conventional dining-room structure.
About The Well at Jordan's Farm
For The Well at Jordan's Farm in Cape Elizabeth, the planning details are direct: hours run Wednesday through Saturday from 5:30–9 PM, and the dress code is casual. Use it as an evening-only Cape Elizabeth option, not as a lunch, brunch, or all-day fallback.
A dinner choice in Cape Elizabeth
The clearest distinction is timing. The Well at Jordan's Farm is open Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 5:30–9 PM and closed Monday, Tuesday, and Sunday. If that schedule does not fit, compare other options such as The Lobster Shack or CBK (Crescent Beach Kitchen) before building a plan around it.
Go only if the listed evening window works for your group.
Who should choose it, and who should cross-shop
Choose The Well at Jordan's Farm if you want a casual-dress dinner in Cape Elizabeth during its Wednesday-to-Saturday evening schedule. It is a less certain fit for diners who need a published price range, a named cuisine style, or detailed menu information before choosing a restaurant. In that case, Sea Glass Restaurant & Lounge, The Lobster Shack, David's 388, Bite into Maine, or CBK (Crescent Beach Kitchen) may be worth comparing based on your plans.
The strongest planning rule is simple: this is not a lunch or brunch option. If the plan needs daytime flexibility, choose another venue. If the plan is a Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday dinner from 5:30–9 PM and casual dress works, The Well at Jordan's Farm remains a viable Cape Elizabeth choice.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
The Well at Jordan's Farm reads like a quietly refined farm restaurant: fields and stone walls frame a dining experience rooted in place. The restaurant emphasizes provenance, and the kitchen treats what the land offers. That restrained seriousness keeps the mood calm and sophisticated without feeling stuffy: the coastal Maine light, short growing season and working-farm setting all contribute to a charming, serene character that highlights seasonality and local ingredients.
Best For
This is a spot for diners who prize provenance and seasonality: couples on a date night or groups marking a special occasion will find the setting especially apt. Located outside Portland, the drive and rural setting make it well suited to a weekend escape for city diners. The menu’s seafood and farm-driven focus, together with the intimate farm setting, favors evening meals and thoughtful, slower-paced dining where the changing seasons are central to the experience.
Ordering Tips
Menus here shift with the fields, so expect different offerings from July to October and beyond; order with seasonality in mind. When available, choose items that showcase the farm-and-coast connection: the signatures (poached lobster, pan-seared hake, halibut with butter sauce, steak tartare) and the kitchen’s homemade bread and butter are direct examples of that approach. Because the restaurant emphasizes what the land yields, prioritize what’s described as current or seasonal rather than hunting for a fixed classic.
Venue details
Ambiance
Rustic and enchanting outdoor setting with candlelit gazebos, screened to keep out bugs and rain, surrounded by acres of farmland and vegetable beds. Intimate and peaceful atmosphere with a blissful sense of quiet, despite proximity to Portland.

Restaurant context
How it compares in Cape Elizabeth
CBK (Crescent Beach Kitchen) is the better fit for a casual beach-adjacent meal, while The Well at Jordan's Farm is the stronger pick when the setting is the reason to commit to dinner. Choose CBK for lower-friction planning; choose The Well when the group wants a more destination-feeling evening.
Sea Glass Restaurant & Lounge is the safer cross-shop for diners who want a conventional restaurant setting with hotel-style polish. The Lobster Shack and Bite into Maine are better for Maine seafood cravings and easier casual energy, especially when the meal should feel quick or scenery-led rather than reservation-led.
David's 388 is the comparison to consider if the group wants a neighborhood dinner alternative outside the farm setting. The clean recommendation: book The Well for atmosphere and a slower Cape Elizabeth evening; pick the peers when menu clarity, seafood specificity, or casual logistics matter more.
