The restaurants serving up “unforgettable” dining experiences across America have style as well as great food, and People magazine recently named six of them in New England.
The publication named the 50 most beautiful restaurants in America, listing the top pick in each state. The New England restaurants on the list are Wusong Road in Cambridge, Mass.; Earth at Hidden Pond in Kennebunkport, Maine; Three Chimneys Inn in Durham, N.H.; Cara in Newport, R.I.; The Hermitage Inn in Dover, Vermont; and Siena in New Haven, Conn.
“These super-stylish stunners deliver unforgettable dining experiences,” wrote People about the restaurants on its list.
At Wusong Road in Cambridge, People wrote: “Maximalism reigns at this tiki restaurant, with thatched overhangs, 1970s-era peacock chairs, and tropical wallpaper.”

Nature is on display at Maine’s Earth at Hidden Pond, wrote the publication, where its log walls and rough-hewn chairs bring a “cozy vibe.”
Diners can choose from three “ultra-cozy” rooms at New Hampshire’s historic Three Chimneys Inn, where traditional New England fare is served, according to People.
At Rhode Island’s Cara, “A gorgeous former mansion in Newport Beach is the intimate setting for this fine-dining restaurant with Atlantic Ocean views.”
Vermont’s historic Hermitage Inn offers “rustic decor befitting the state,” wrote People, and features both an upscale and more informal dining room.
Finally, at Connecticut’s Siena, “Vibrant stained glass windows and a sleek, turquoise-hued bar set the tone for the Blake Hotel’s lively lobby restaurant,” wrote People.
