“Absolutely loved the vibe, service, and food. Our server was on his very first day and his coworker was so helpful to him in answering our questions. Their teamwork was great. We sat upstairs at lunchtime and the vibe and decor, including fish shaped water bottles, was perfect as were the views.

We were a table of 4 and all the food was great including coconut shrimp, chowder, fried fish sandwich, baked haddock, and more. We didn’t have drinks but we could see delicious cocktails being served at the bar. We will definitely plan to come back here again and again!

The location in Kennebunkport is near everything including whale watching tours and kitschy shopping.“

“Five Stars: An Absolute Culinary Highlight!
We had an absolutely amazing dining experience at Ocean! From start to finish, the 3-course meal was flawless. Every single dish was a perfect balance of unique, savory flavors, and the presentations were stunning—true works of art on the plate.
The tuna crudo, green salad, and the halibut were absolute standouts of the evening. The cocktails were equally impressive—creative and beautifully crafted—with the blueberry martini being a major highlight.
The combination of incredible food, fantastic drinks, and a wonderful atmosphere made for an unforgettable evening. If you are in Kennebunkport, Ocean is a must-visit! We can’t wait to come back.“

“Go elsewhere. Way overpriced for food that is not good. The service is subpar and look up past Health violations and other violations.“

“Fine quality food, especially the lobster roll. Very good service and scenic location“

“We had an amazing experience yet again at Alisson’s and thank you to Paula who checked in and on us often. Never was there a beat missed in her wait w us and the food - amazing as always. Alisson’s is our must go to everytime we are in Kennebunkport. We will be back this August. Thanks also to the hostess team who made sure we were sat well before our wait time. What a great day!“

“This food was fabulous! Lobstah risotto with tons of meat! Fresh and yummy. Great service and bartender!“

“This was our first time here in 8 years since it changed from Maxwell’s to Pepper’s. Maxwell’s was a place we visited frequently when in Ogunquit, and we even had my 50th birthday there. We were very apprehensive about going to Pepper’s, and we did not know what to expect! Wow and cool were the first 2 words I thought of when we entered! The place we came to know and love changed, but it was a great change with an awesome bar! Then, we had some drinks, an appetizer, and then our food came. All of it was great, and all the servers and bartenders are wonderful! We definitely recommend the Firecracker Shrimp and Calamari for appetizers, and the whole belly clams and teriyaki tuna for main courses! Everything was fresh and delicious! We are looking forward to our next trip to Ogunquit, and Pepper’s will definitely be on our dining list!“

“the food, the scallops and their corn“

“Hands down the best seafood I’ve had in Maine, and I’ve eaten at plenty of places up and down the coast. Everything that came out of that kitchen tasted like it had been pulled from the water that morning. Even the simple sides were done right.

Our server Andy was great. He was very friendly to us and very attentive. The kind of service that’s harder to find than people think. We’ll be back.“

We're genuinely sad they're not open for our first visit this year, but can't wait to eat here again later in the season.“

“I'm a big fan of fried seafood the way they prepare it in the New England region

Monday May 18th 5:00
A gentleman at a convenience store told be about Brown' s when I asked where I could find the best seafood shack. Boy was he right on the money with this place!!! Wow!!

I wish I could remember her name to credit her, but I was greeted by the most polite and kind young lady who took my order. I asked a few questions and she wound up explaining to me that they had a platter where you could get four types of seafood which I ordered. It included haddock, shrimp, scallop and fried clam strips. The onion rings were great. The food was EXCEPTIONAL. . Everything was so fresh and I've never seen such big plump fried clam strips in my life. This was the best fried food experience of my life in all the years that I've been to New England, including sit down restaurants.

if you want great seafood and you're in the Perkins Cove area run, don't walk to this place and have the best seafood experience you can ask for with friendly efficient service. Home Run.“

“My husband and I drive 1 1/2 to eat here! Last night was super busy and I’ve got to tell you. The wait is worth it! Our food was amazing and quickly served to us!! The mussels are the BESt! No one prepares them as good as your place . Thank you from Parsonsfield, me!“

“Best food in town 10 of 10“

“We had the best time here on an unexpected stop during a road trip. After driving all day from Vermont on a road trip back to FL we stopped in this little gem and before we even got into the doorway we were greeted enthusiastically by the owner Tony. The waiter Johanna and Tony guided us on how to order our very first lobster roll. We spent the evening laughing and joking around with them. We felt like we were hanging with close friends, which was just what we needed to end a long day. Thank you guys!“

“Doing it right and maintaining classic traditions. One visit and we were hooked! Keep going and know your efforts are appreciated! Great food, attitude and atmosphere that should be preserved. God Bless the Maine Diner!!!“

“my grandfather and I used to eat here thank you for running such an amazing buisness!“

“Not often I leave a review but I absolutely love this place. The staff is so kind and the food never disappoints me. When I got my wisdom teeth removed, this place basically ensured that I ate a filling meal. Personally, this restaurant is my comfort spot and I look forward to always coming here. I normally get the pho and the spring rolls, and I've ordered it enough that the staff is starting to remember my order 😅“

“This is a hidden gem and I’m so grateful to have found it. I got the Monstah Lobstah roll and it certainly lived up to its name. It was so big that I was able to bring half home to eat at a later time. We will definitely be back and hopefully Caitlin will be our waitress again… a super nice young lady. The food is delicious and the staff very accommodating.“

“The Surf Point 360 is located on the property of the Anchorage By the Sea Motel. Beautiful view of the ocean. Nice menu and food service. We were there for lunch, and it is a nice setting, very relaxed. The service was good as was the food. My fish tacos were different from most as it was haddock and the greens on top were also different, almost delicate and offered a nice complement to the fish, very mild onion, a few sprigs of carrot and other greens I can't identify but added nicely. Very nice experience and very handy both to the ocean and to the motel. We were able to finish lunch and then take a walk on the walk called Marginal Way. Excellent way to have lunch and then take a stroll!“

“Love the vibe! Great drinks! Great atmosphere!“

“We came in for lunch without a reservation, the hostess was able to seat us within a few minutes thankfully. Our server Andrew was very friendly and helpful with the menu, it did take quite some time for our meals to come out but overall was a great experience. Watermelon cosmo was great!“

“Happy Dragon is our favorite Chinese food in the area. It took a number of different restaurants before we discovered it. My family from Florida (8 of us) ate there and EVERYONE loved it. Servings are large, prices are fair, and lower sodium. The item in my picture is a C6.“

“💯 recommend! my wife and I visited in Oct 2025,I wasn't a fish person until my breast cancer diagnosis, I fell in love with the blueberry wings and lobster ravioli here, I have been craving it ever since we left!“

“Loved the experience, the salad bar brought back 1970's nostalgia. Perfect!“

“The food is exquisite. My husband and I went two days in a row and brought friends with us. The service is excellent even during the busy times. Alesia was attentive, professional and welcoming. Thank you to all who work hard to make this restaurant what it is. Plan to return when we visit Ogunquit again.“
