“My best friend and I went to Earth for dinner last Saturday. I hadn’t been there for over a year. It was such a surprise, incredible, unexpected experience, way above our expectations.From a culinary perspective, the menu is super well balanced with dishes that are comforting and innovating. The kitchen executes it to perfection, using outstanding produce and cooking it all in a way that showcases each element on your plate, yet never managing to hide one from the other. One thing I loved was the fact that all protein was well seasoned and perfectly cooked, never needing any sauces to mask its own flavour. We had duck, fish, venison, roasts carrots, ravioli, the tuna sashimi, the scallops and the soup of the day.Portions are perfectly sized. In my opinion, outstanding value for money.The wine list is excellent. Diverse, affordable and complementary to the menu.Deserts were nice as well, especially the Opera Cake and the Pavlova (I could have had a pint of the home made raspberry sorbet that comes as a side to it!).Service was also a star milestone. We had Charlie as a waiter. It makes a huge difference when you have someone that is passionate about what he’s presenting to you, knows the dishes and can honestly tell you about what they are and make genuine recommendations, on top of being good at reading the table, being present without being fake about it, and overall just another highlight of the evening, without being intrusive or over the top (which I find can be the case in some similar restaurants that are training their staff to over sell or use key moments of the evening to interject and justify a tip, or make up for not so perfect aspects of the service).Earth’s environment keeps you relaxed in a very beautiful and elegant room that transports you to a little fairy land of an elegant lodge lost in a wintery forest in Maine. It’s very chic, yet not stuffy. It’s cozy. It has a great vibe for adults, no matter the occasion. But let the Earth’s environment set the mood, I think you should focus on the food, if you’re into it… you can have fun putting together your prix fix menu and have a jolly dinner with someone you like…The only aspect of the night that I think deserves attention from management is that we had a table next to us with a small child, 5 or 6, that was watching Nickelodeon on mum’s phone, without an earphone. My friend could hear Dora the Explora’s every move in her quest to find her backpack… but it was an early winter Saturday evening and the girl was a saint. I would however, empower staff to monitor and curb anyone using their phones on speakers, or FaceTime, while at their table.It was a GREAT dinner! Coming back soon!“
“Visiting Kennebunkport for the first time so picking a restaurant was based on reviews and we were so happy we found this place as it did not disappoint. From the beginning to the end the experience was delightful. My girlfriends and I felt like we hit the jackpot. Our server Amanda was amazing. The food presentation was beautiful, not to mention delicious. The location was tucked down a road and you will not be disappointed with the views. This is a must for anyone visiting Kennebunkport.“
“Delicious! Vegetarian friendly, tempeh sandwich and best fish and chips around. But my favorite part was the curved baskets, they made it really easy to cut the fish. Don't forget desert, sea salt vanilla swirled with roasted pineapple was better then most ice cream shops.Kid-friendliness: My daughter loved waving through the window at everyone walking by.“
“We ate at the Front Yard Saturday 3/23/24, our meals and service was excellent. The Octopus we had for an appetizer was tender and so delicious. Our meals were delicious also, I had the Lobster and Shrimp with papperdelli ale vodka and my wife had the seafood baulabaise. Jenni was our waitress and she was awesome.“
“Our food was great as chef perfectly accommodated my request for light garlic in the shrimp scampi. My wife loved her stuffed haddock. These were part of the Sunday special: good sized entree and blueberry pie for $18 which is cheap for just the entree alone. Nice decor and our server Shannon was fantastic. We'll be back!“
“After having to leave another restaurant in Kennebunkport due to discrimination, we were able to eat at the Boathouse. Everyone was extremely accommodating, and everything on the menu was incredible. I'll be thinking about the shrimp and scallop fried rice for a long long time.“
“Last time I was home in the area, got a seafood platter takeout for my husband- he thoroughly enjoyed it-I’ve been coming here since I was a little girl. Even though the food is good, I’ll always visit this little chowder house when I’m in the area; it reminds me of beach trips with my gram and all the fun we used to have; this chowder house holds a lot of memories for a lot of people; come for the food and come back with your rose colored glasses, remember good times and loved ones and feel the salt on your skin and the sand in your shoes and just enjoy being in the moment while remembering the past-“
“My new favorite place! Everything was perfect from the moment we walked in and John, our host, sat us at the perfect swanky booth with the best view! Then our server, Leah, was fabulous with suggestions & service. Wonderful dining experience!“
“We happened upon them only an hour before they were closing for the season. Great people, great service, and great comfort food. My husband had the clam chowder and haddock platter and loved it. I had the shrimp sandwich with fries and ate pretty much every bit. Tasty!“
“Kris had an enormous caesar salad w/ chicken salad. it was awesomeI had mussels & firecracker shrimp appetizers for my meal- very good & filling.I believe our waitress was Alicia talking about her awesome kitty. She’s a top notch 10* “
“This place is hopping! Be prepared to wait. Friendly service. Big portions. Recommend the special Downeaster Benedict though a bit on the salty side. Didn't care for the potatoes. Ask for hot and crispy so that they get to you hot and not mushy.“
“If you're going to Goose Rocks Beach and looking for a spot to get dinner and drinks with family and friends, this is a perfect spot. It's open to people not staying at the hotel and located right across from the beach. We ate outside and had beautiful views of the beach. The inside has a nice trendy, coastal vibe. I had the noodle bowl and a spicy margarita. Our group also shared the wings -- the drink was great, and all the food was good. I've only been for lunch, but I generally prefer the food at the Boathouse in Dock Square (owned by the same group). During peak season, I can imagine this place is difficult to get into or find parking for. If you're not staying at the inn, you have to find parking along the beach, which fills quickly in the summer months (and I believe if you're not a town resident you have to pay to park).“
“We came here for an evening and had some drinks with Brittany, had great service and convo, came back for breakfast and had an absolutely AMAZING breakfast with again great service and I dare say one of the best breakfasts we’ve ever had! Highly recommend, if I could give this place 10 stars I would!“
“Very good. Wells Maine in winter means many closed restaurants. This bar and grille area s definitely a locals place. We started with an order of Wagyu sliders, that were very very good. They had bacon, melted cheese and mayo on them each and came with three in the order. Then we split the grilled chicken salad, which was a basic fresh mixed green salad with a few tomatoes, a few cucumber slices, some croutons, and very small amount of shredded cheese. Dressings tasted like they were out of a bottle, but they were good. We especially liked the waitress. No nonsense and great service. We could also see what seemed to be the manager, replenishing tables, cleaning up, and helping out wherever needed. Well, it wasn't exactly fine dining, we really did like the place. I believe their lobster roll would have been great, but we've already eaten enough lobster this week. I'd go back there.“
“Came here for a quick lunch while visiting Ogunquit as "Beach Fire" was allegedly one of the top rated restaurants in town. It was a bit difficult to find parking on a busy Sunday afternoon, but we found a spot and headed in. The service was average, nothing to write home about. We were seated with five minutes of our arrival and the whole dining experience took close to 45 minutes total, which was standard. I'm not much of a seafood girl, so I opted for the "Rancher" sandwich which came with smoked chicken, bacon bits, melted cheese, mixed greens, tomato, and ranch. The smoked chicken was flavorful, but I would have preferred it to be just a simple slab of grilled chicken with pepper instead, because the smokiness was very overpowering. The homemade ranch, however, was extremely delicious and I yearned for a bottle to take home with me. The mixed greens added color and texture to the sandwich, which was appreciated. I also opted for a side of baked beans, which were delicious and had a bit of BBQ tang to them. Overall, the sandwich was decent but pretty messy, so make sure to have napkins nearby! We also ordered lobster rolls which sold at a market price of $29, which stood close to average for New England this season (I believe the range is $25-35). It was very tasty and fresh, but would have been served better warm instead of cold. The portion was fair, though the side dishes were bigger than the main course (as pictured). The fries were so-so, but the side caesar was one of the best Caesar salads I've ever had in my life. Beach Fire clearly knows how to do their dressings. Overall, I left satisfied and ready to take on Ogunquit!“
“Such a fun spot for a cocktail. You get to witness the unique tide change, sit on the bow in the sun or underneath at the bar.I didn’t learn anything about the schooner, but it would be cool to have the story set up somewhere (maybe it is).It’s not as busy as some of the others spots, it feels a little exclusive. I think people don’t know how to get out to it.There’s a food truck set up outside, that you can bring onboard as well.“
