Executive Chef Jack Neal returns to Blair Hill Inn.  Chef Neal launched the stellar 'Top Restaurant of Maine' reputation of Blair Hill Inn under his supervision from 2001 through 2004.  We are so pleased that he is back with us again to bring you creative menus featuring the summertime bounty of Maine.

Jack graduated at the top of his class with an A.O. S. in Culinary Arts from the Culinary Institute of America, Hyde Park, NY.  He then worked in the Bahamas which secured his passion for fresh yet lively flavors.  Later, he brought this 'top of the line' training back to Maine where he helped open and serve as Executive Chef of several of Portland's premiere restaurants.   

Now married and a father of two little boys, Jack and his family have made their home in Greenville and, Jack's refreshing and innovative approach to cuisine is home again at Blair Hill Inn.  The simply beautiful setting of the inn with its inspirational lake views is the perfect place to enjoy delicious Maine cuisine prepared by an exceptional chef.    

By completely changing the 5-course menu each weekend, Chef Neal is able to take full advantage of the inn's greenhouse and extensive vegetable, fruit and herb gardens.  Add in the marvelous produce provided by local farmers and guests are guaranteed absolutely authentic Maine cuisine true to the season.   Just before dinner service, you will see Chef Neal dressed in his 'whites' picking the evenings herbs and vegetables from the garden.
