Went for anniversary dinner. Food and service was top notch. We have gone a few times. Everything has always been perfect. Food is well seasoned and flavorful. Lexi was attentive considering how busy they were. A+++++++ across the board will be back.

The food was disgusting. The service was horrible. The menu is over priced for the lack of flavor and unappealing food that is served. We are locals and will Not be back.

Service was excellent. The atmosphere was much noisier than expected simply due to acoustics and set-up. It felt pretty cramped. I like the idea of the place and the dishes are creative but I find they're pretty hit or miss, and overpriced. I appreciate high quality food and don't mind paying for it but both my husband and I found that some of their flavour profiles were excellent and some were miscalculated. The cocktails are tasty. Their cheese board was one of the best I've ever had. And the cheeses and accompanying sauces were perfectly paired.

50 Local is a lovely restaurant in downtown Kennebunk, Maine. I enjoyed a glass of ? and french fries ?while waiting for my takeout of crispy farm egg ? salad ?and the pappardelle. ? The hostess and bartender were very nice and keen on ensuring my needs were met. It seemed to be a hot spot for dinner!

We went here again, a few weeks back on a Monday. We requested to the waitress that we wanted to pace our dinner and not have the food rushed well, it was rushed.
the waitress claimed that she could not paste dinner and that the chef demanded that all food to be inputted at the same time.
There were certainly plenty of tables and no need to move people out the door fast with this led to us naturally us not getting a dessert which we would have normally done so for a rare night away.
The message to the owner being when you rush dinner there is less spending - retrain your staff to understand this.

The menu is tiny and lacks imagination. Using pecorino Romano cheese instead of Parmigiano-Reggiano on a Caesar salad isn't just wrong, bit you're trying too hard to appear like you're food is new and interesting. The staff was fake-friendly. We ordered drinks and planned on eating there but never felt comfortable in this small restaurant. So we paid our tab and went elsewhere. So I can't rate the food. The menu is literally one side of a piece of paper. You can read it in seconds and when I got to the end I thought "is that it".
The food was excellent and the service was as well. Highly recommend the lemon basil sorbet for dessert!

After covid I don't like dining out much. But we had a wonderful experience at 50 local. Service was top notch, pleasant experience as soon as we entered. We weren't rushed through our dinner. Arrived at 5:30 and left at 8:30. Now we are still not in peak season so not sure if that will change during the summer. Our dinners all came at the same time! And all were hot! Not warm, not cold all hot! The background music was classic rock, which us 60+ like! This is the type of dining I missed and I'm so happy I decided to leave my stomping grounds and venture over to the next town to dine! I'll be back! Keep up the great work!!!

My good friend Jamie loves this place and is always talking about it, and the chef there. I had never been but decided to stop in last week for dinner. He is admittedly wrong about a lot of things but his praise of this place is spot on. I have eaten at almost every decent restaurant between Boston and Portland at some point in my life. This is definitely one of my favorites. It's a nice setting, with friendly people, and the menu offers some unique choices you won't find anywhere else. I would highly recommend it.

Service much better than food and value. Let's start with the crab cake - tasty - the size of a meatball for $14. The crispy egg salad - a crusted poached egg on a bed of plain lettuce $16. No tomatoes, olives, cucumbers which would have made this appetizer much more impressive. Anchovies - $4 additional. Bread with olive oil - no butter - also $4 additional! The rest of the meal was not memorable. We are from NY and have eaten in the finest restaurants and have never been charged for butter. Very insulting. Unfortunately, we will not return.

An all around special experienceL
Limited menu. Food quality hit or miss, rigatoni good, chicken ok, vegi medley miss. Too dark in restaurant to see menus or see what you are eating.
