Platinum Plate Award - July
12, 2008
95 Ocean at the Nonantum
Resort Earns “TV Diner”
Coveted Platinum Plate Award
“95 Ocean” was visited but the
popular TV Show “TV Diner” hosted by
Billy Costa. TV Diner is noted for
reviewing restaurants for NECN, New
England Cable News, and giving them
a culinary critic’s rating of
Silver, Gold or Platinum. The
Nonantum Resort received the highest Platinum Plate rating,
a result of an incognito visit to
the restaurant earlier this summer.
“We are so proud of our chef, Steve
True, who has created some unique
and delicious offerings for our
menu, which were singled out in this
review by TV Diner. Our culinary
team and wait staff also deserves
credit for this impressive award,”
commented Innkeeper Jean
Ginn-Marvin.
The TV Diner Show featuring 95 Ocean
in the Nonantum Resort first aired
on NECN July 12th, with video of 95
Ocean and the Nonantum Resort Dining
Room overlooking the Kennebunk
River. The TV Diner Show host Billy
Costa said, “The Dining Room of 95
Ocean has bright ambiance, a sea
shore theme and large picture
windows offering gorgeous views of
the water.”
Among the numerous menu items
sampled for the TV Diner Show were
Chef True’s Signature Blueberry
Chipotle Ribs, and the Lobster
Stuffed Avocado, which the
restaurant critic described as
follows, “Maine lobster never looked
prettier or tasted better.”
TV Diner show host, Billy Costa,
referred to The Nonantum’s entrees
as stunning and sensational, the
service as great, and prices as
“appealing for quality and
quantity.”
Costa described the Key Lime Pie as
a “tantalizing tandem,” and the
Blueberry Crumb Pie he called “sweet
perfection.”
Costa said in his TV Diner
recommendation, “95 Ocean gives
resort guests and the general public
artfully presented dishes in a
quiet, elegant atmosphere with
wonderful service. 95 Ocean earns
the Platinum Plate.”
Executive Chef Steve True said he is
very proud that The Nonantum
received the top honor bestowed by
the TV Diner Show. “We work hard to
create interesting and appetizing
menu items, to be recognized by such
a well-respected and recognized TV
show is exciting.”
95 Ocean is open nightly for dinner,
and The Nonantum offers live
entertainment most nights for
diners’ pleasure, including the
popular bands Taste of Lace, The
Tony Boffa Trio, Don Campbell and
The Thomas Snow Trio. In celebration
