Maryscott's Kitchen - New Harmony

Excellent food. Made from scratch meals with great flavor and perfect execution. Highly recommend.

Edited to add: Just because it is the law doesn't mean either establishment should RUDELY tell us to leave.We walked in with our 8 month old son and the lady rudely told us that no one under 21 is allowed. It's a shame a town that welcomes family's doesn't have any family restaurants. Will not be coming back.

Never visit New Harmony without having dinner at MaryScotts Kitchen. I dream about the Shrimp Grits, my go do dish, cooked perfectly every time! Thank you Mary and Scott for bringing this little gem to New Harmony. And thank you to our server, Emily, we love her too!!

We escaped to New Harmony to enjoy a relaxed birthday weekend. We make the three-hour drive every couple of years to enjoy the calm, peace, and serenity that defines New Harmony.After reading reviews we decided to give MaryScott's a try on our first night. We were welcomed and seated by Scott and immediately were taken in by the friendliness and atmosphere.The menu presented was NOT the steak, burger and chicken wing selection you might expect in a small river town in rural southern Indiana. The offerings were as tantelizing as what you might expect in a trendy bistro along Rush Street in Chicago. Checks in all the boxes so far. Would the food live up to the billing?The goat cheese appetizer and Caesar Salad left no room for improvement and only heigtened the anticipaiton for the arrival of the entrees. We went with the suggested wine pairings for our entrees and they were delightful and made even more enjoyable at $6/glass.My wife had the Shrimp and Grits which was outstanding. I had the Garlic Ginger Chili Shrimp. All I can say is that Scott's wife Mary is a magician in the kithen.We topped the evening splitting a chocolate creme brulee which only added to the experience.We were in town for two nights. Guess where we ate the second night?Hat's off to a couple living their dream and making people happy with REALLY good food and dining experiences in the process. This gives us a reason to make our visits to this haven more frequent.I highly recommend that if you find yourself in New Harmony, that you do not miss an opportunity to experience MaryScott's.

My g/f and I took a trip down to New Harmony for her birthday weekend. We had dinner at MaryScotts based on some of the reviews here. New Harmony is a small town with limited dining options, but we were not disappointed with MaryScotts. In fact, we were both pleasantly surprised. My g/f ordered the filet of beef with carrots potatoes. And while this may seem like an uninspiring dish, the visual plating was magnificent. The carrots, potatoes beef were all perfectly portioned and complemented each other. The filet of beef was cooked exactly as requested, medium rare, and I was told that it was the most flavorful cut of beef my g/f has had. I had the Mahi Mahi with mango salsa and garlic rice. The fish was just a tad overcooked but not without flavor. Fish is difficult to cook perfectly so this wasn't much of an issue. The mango salsa complimented the Mahi Mahi very well. And the garlic rice was the perfect compliment. The best was yet to come. Earlier in the week, I had spoken with Alisha about having a special birthday dessert available after dinner. They did not disappoint! We were served the most decadent tiramisu we've ever had. Fresh explicitly made for that night, it was an epic finale to a spectacular dinner. One unsolicited opinion to upgrade the dining experience here would be to tailor the music and overall ambiance to match the menu offerings. A more intimate setting with perhaps jazz music instead of the local radio station would have been perfect. All in all a really wonderful find in a quaint, historical town. I would highly recommend MaryScotts to anyone that finds their way to New Harmony.
