Restaurants near Kennebunkport

“Amazing food & relaxing atmosphere.”

“Had an awesome dinner here. Great cocktails. Started with the salmon rillette which was a refreshing light bite. I had the lobster vol au vent and my husband the pollock Wellington, both delicious. Desserts were great, definitely worth the stop!”

“Our first time dining at Ocean. We were seated promptly. The atmosphere is very calm and relaxing. Our server Nick was the best. Good on conversation, great with explaining the menu and paced our courses . We had a nice, leisurely dinner and every course was delicious. We will return.”

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

“Yummy lobster have loved itt my whole life!!!!”

“Great place to get a Lobster!!! The 2 3/4 & 3 lb Lobsters were cooked perfectly. The onion rings and cole slaw were both excellent and the corn on the cob was a full ear of corn and very fresh. Seating outdoors has a beautiful view of a working lobster/fish pier and most of the tables are covered under a canopy so even in the rain it would be ok to sit outside. The menu had lots of choices and the prices were reasonable for such high quality food. The people who worked there were very nice and the service was quick. The restaurant was very clean inside and outside. If you’d like to bring a dog there is plenty of seating outdoors and they were very dog friendly. Will definitely be back again- it’s a hidden gem!”

“This was our fourth time staying at the Nonantum Resort, and each visit has delivered the same amazing experience that keeps us coming back. The view from our room overlooking the water and the boats is absolutely picturesque. The staff truly go above and beyond. They make you feel like part of the family, and their customer service is consistently warm and welcoming. We were once again pleasantly surprised by how good the food is at the onsite restaurant. The breakfasts in particular are incredible—fresh, hearty, and delicious. This time, we rented bikes and cruised around Kennebunkport, which we highly recommend to anyone visiting. It was a fun and relaxing way to explore the area. Nonantum has become one of our all-time favorite places to stay. We highly recommend it to anyone considering a trip to Kennebunkport.”

“I had a Pistachio White Chocolate Mocha with oat milk. It was the best coffee I have ever had. I'm so serious. I have had a lot of coffee in a lot of different places in my life. I'm kind of particular and honestly am rarely impressed. More often than not I'm even disappointed. I loved it so much that I went back in and ordered another before leaving town not even an hour later. I dream about certain food/drinks I've had while traveling and this will for sure be one of those things. I bet I'll even consider flying all the way to Maine from Missouri again just for coffee in the future lol. Nice employees, clean, busy but wait time wasn't terrible and completely worth it. Super cute place. Delicious!”

“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!”

“My wife and I recently got married in Scarborough Maine, and neither of us much like cake.... however, we both LOVE Ben and Jerry's, so what better way to celebrate than by having Ice Cream Cakes! We touched base with Tom a few months ago and worked on getting our cakes planned out for the wedding. We ended up getting 4 large sheet cakes (each a different flavor combo) and a medium Heart Cake as our 'cutting' cake. Though not as flamboyantly decorated as some wedding cakes (a look we weren't looking for anyway) the Green and Blue icing flowers looked great, and the extra flourishes, and decorative chocolate pieces on the heart cake looked spectacular. And most importantly they tasted AMAZING! Both the DJ and Photographer said they have never seen people literally run up to get pieces of wedding cake before. I can't recommend Tom and his shop highly enough for anyone looking for Ice Cream Cakes for their next celebration! They were also very reasonably priced.”

“Came here on second day opening, they really hit it out of the park on this one!...I always complain about my cocktails wherever I go cause I like a BALANCED cocktail..NOPE didn't complain once! Oliver the bartender was great! Hope to see him again when we come back. We also had the mussels for an appetizer and they were great, not small or anything they were perfect size. You can't get great mussels anywhere in Maine believe me when I say this cause I was born and raised on the coast of Maine. My boyfriend had the Chicken Kabob it was juicy, tender, light...all the flavors were there. I had the lobster roll and the Mediterranean flavors came together with the taste of Maine let me tell you! Sorbet was very refreshing as well. Can't wait to come back! Highly recommend if you want a light lunch, Maine seafood, or some well balanced cocktails.”

“Great service. The think crust pizza is amazing. Definitely a favorite spot for our family from NY.”

“What a hidden gem!

Tucked away right next to the pool, this spot was exactly what I needed—a laid-back escape from the downtown hustle and bustle of Kennebunkport. I was initially confused about how to get in (thought I was lost for a second!), but once I found it, I knew I’d discovered something special.

Plenty of shady spots to lounge, a great indoor-outdoor vibe, and seriously relaxing poolside energy. A lot of games for kids. The menu hits all the right notes—classic food and drink options that are comforting and satisfying.

The real highlight? Kayla, the bartender. She was an absolute joy! Super friendly, attentive, and full of great local recs. Her service was top-notch, and she made the whole experience that much more enjoyable. We chatted, laughed, and I left already looking forward to coming back.

If you’re looking for a chill, sunny spot with great drinks, tasty bites, and even better company—this is it. Don’t miss it!”

“Delicious ! Great wait staff.! Atmosphere was quite comfortable. Thank you”

“An incredible fine-dining seafood spot hidden in Kennebunkport! Beautiful views, amazing food!!”

“Best lattè I’ve had in a while. Can’t wait to try something else when I am back up!”

“The best ice cream we had in Kennebunkport! I received a BOGO free coupon from my visit at The Clam Shack for here so we had to check it out. I had the Moose Track and it was the best ice cream I’ve had in a long time. I loved the mini peanut butter cups that were mixed in.”

“Lovely atmosphere, great service and delicious food. I loved the lobster salad, fresh and tasty.”

“The waiter did not get out order right. Ordered a beer salad ... Never showed up but was not charged. Ordered smash Burger and haddock sandwich with side salad ... First received haddock dinner and haddock sandwich ... An error. Then we received the smash burger ... Okay and a clam cake on a salad ... Writing but by the time it came we just took it ... long wait. It seemed as though the waiter was inexperienced”

“We stopped by for a lobster roll and had a good experience overall. The staff was extremely nice and started preparing our order right away. It did take a little time to get it done, but that’s understandable with fresh seafood.

This is definitely a take-and-go kind of place—there’s no seating inside, so keep that in mind if you’re planning to eat there.

The lobster roll itself was delicious—fresh, flavorful, and well made. That said, we did feel it was a bit overpriced at $34 for one roll. Great taste, just a little hard on the wallet. We ordered for 2 people so each plate had a half.

Worth trying if you’re craving a quality lobster roll and don’t mind the price!”

“Sweet girls and fantastic coffee!”

“Golden Rooster offers excellent service, great food, friendly atmosphere! They are very allergy friendly!! Marissa is wonderful, always friendly & helpful! Marissa is willing to go above and beyond when serving people with allergies! Definitely recommend the restaurant! Stop by and say hello! Ask for Marissa.”

“Christopher at the bar is amazing and the owner Jake was so accommodating to our group. We literally brought a wedding party here last minute on a holiday weekend and they made the night! Thank you Jake a Christopher! ❤️”

“Stopped in for the first time to check out the menu.. friendly owners, fabulous food, great atmosphere can’t rave enough about this GEM. Even came out to see my Jeep and visit about old cars!!! Can’t wait to go back and certainly will tell all my friends. I brought a dinner of corn beef brisket home and it was out of this world. 😍”

“Smoke BBQ was our wedding caterer and hit it out of the park! The food and service was incredible! Josh and his team made our wedding meal something to remember!”

“The best…The new Peruvian comfort food menu & the drink menu is 11/10!”

“The most magical dinner experience. An absolutely beautiful setting accompanied by an incredible menu. Still thinking about the cherry soufflé.

It is pre-fixe for $175 or $250 per person. Something we didn’t realize before we sat at the table, but it was soooo worth it!”

“We go there ALLOT! Food is genuine and fresh! Service is great and whenever our sons come from Vermont, the first place they want to go is COCO.”

“Beautiful bar and amazing food! Great fried fish and soft serve”

“The BEST banh mi and bubble tea. Specials rotate so there is always something new to try. The bread is always perfect. They cater and do pop-ups…which often feature the best egg roll I’ve ever had.”
