LOVED our experience dining at Chez Rosa for a winter getaway. We ate at the bar and the staff was lovely. They had great recommendations and really made us feel welcome and excited for our meal. The beef bourguignion was the perfect winter dish, and I really enjoyed the parisienne gnocchi as well. The cocktails were excellent and the atmosphere was perfect - the right blend of warm and romantic & exactly what you're looking for on a chilly winter's night.

The fondu was SO delicious! However, I would have preferred more bread with vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower and asparagus instead of grapes, granny smith apples and potatoes. My husband ordered the beef Bourguignon which was AMAZING! So flavorful. I was jealous and wished I had ordered what he had. I ordered the gnocchi which was ok. It would have been better with the Bourguignon sauce. Will definitely go back for the fondu and beef. Next time will tell them more bread and no fruit

Scallops were so salty I could not eat them. No remedy was offered. Dessert not offered. $19 glass of wine not that good. Onion soup was watery/bland. Pate was pretty good.

A sensational evening. The host, Amy our server, the food, the ambience, the whole experience is off the charts impressive. If you haven't been here let me tell you in no uncertain terms get you derrière here sooner than later & enjoy this French Bistro. Tonight I wanted a1/2 dozen oysters with a wine mignonette unfortunately they were all sold out. Do I order french onion soup or do I just jump in & go with The steak frites? or should I have the day boat scallops? I'll tell you I'm having a very hard time deciding on what entree I will have. What do i do???
Ok I've decided I'll have the French onion soup & steak frites. I'm stuffed I have to take home 1/2 my dinner. Not a bad thing to enjoy some steak tomorrow morning. No room for dessert but the deserts sounded wonderful. Oops all my pictures somehow disappeared. I can tell you they were great pictures of all our food & the menus.

We reserved a reservation for our final honeymoon dinner in Kennebunkport on Thursday 10/24 at 1930. We were seated promptly and had a great waiter. The food was delicious.
But, when we reserved the table, I specified that it was our honeymoon and there was nothing special noted. But we noticed the table next to us had a little congratulations sign. Also, the young lady who delivered our food to the table was either having a bad night or shouldn't have been directly involved with customers that night. The way she plopped the food on the table, pushing the side plates nearly into our laps was unacceptable.
It's the smallest of details but those are what were important to me that night. Overall, I'd give it another try. The fish wellington and the lobster vol au vent were very good.
I've since edited my review after receiving a generic response and no sense of ownership.

Good food and good atmosphere but disappointing portion sizes for the price. $36 for 4 scallops is a bit excessive. Very tasty though!

Everything is great here, start to finish. The service is wonderful, drinks delicious, and every ingredient is a treat. As vegetarians in Maine, we so appreciate the wonderful dishes that are not bleak add-ons like we see on most menus.
Vegetarian options: The gnocchi and the risotto are incredible - great to try as they change the seasonal ingredients. Salads are fresh and creative and yummy.

The service was fabulous. The restaurant was clean and I love the food. The short ribs were great. my soon to be Wife enjoyed your food so much.
WOW. What a fabulous experience. We came here to celebrate my mom’s birthday with a special dinner and this adorable restaurant did not disappoint. From the beginning the service was exceptional and detail oriented. We mentioned it was my mom’s birthday and they had a special little sign saying birthday in French and we got a nice little chance to toast to the occasion on the house.
Our server Kirsten was so lovely and attentive.
We all loved our dishes. I had the Parisienne gnocchi, my husband had the short ribs and my mom the steak frites. You could tell they use fresh and local ingredients when possible and everything tasted made to order. The French fries were out of this world. Best we’ve ever had. Please do yourself a favor and try them.
They had an extensive drink menu and a killer Bordeaux by the glass.
I highly recommend dining here. We can’t wait for an occasion to drive over from New Hampshire and dine here again.
Our dining experience was top notch. Even though they were not able to seat us at our reservation time (they were slammed with bar patrons too), they brought us drinks while we waited at reception. My only complaint was that they did not explain the situation. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. The table was comfortable. Our food service was well paced and the dishes were delicious. We enjoyed the steak frites, orzo risotto and chicken mains. The desserts were both gluten free! The whole e selection is extensive. Overall a very relaxing and enjoyable meal spent with friends. Merci!

I was coordinating a dinner for my parents 50th wedding anniversary, and I chose Chez Rosa for a dinner venue based on the great online reviews. It turned out to be an excellent choice! I had made my reservation over the phone and mentioned my parents milestone and when we got seated to our table the restaurant had provided a celebratory toast of rosé for all of us. There was also a little miniature chalkboard that had a French written message of happy 50th anniversary. It was a very nice touch and it made my parents feel very special. Thank you for that Chez Rosa! We had five people in our party and everyone loved their meals. I had the steak and it was cooked very well. The fries were particularly excellent. Some of our party had the chicken and were very pleased with the meal and how it was cooked. My dad had the risotto and thought it was great. We had French onion soup and bistro salads for starters and they were delicious. The restaurant has a very homey and pleasant atmosphere. The room we were in was welcoming and warm, not too crowded. Bathrooms were very clean. The service was extremely professional and friendly but also felt very personalized. I highly recommend Chez Rosa for date night or any occasion. I will definitely be going back again. Its fancy but still causal at the same time. Parking is a bit tricky in Kennebunkport and the restaurant does not have its own parking lot so word to the wise about that. We were a bit late getting all members of the party to the table because of the parking situation and the staff was very patient with us! I really appreciate them for that and for making my parents 50th anniversary a special night.
Really good food and service. Ambience is much nicer in the main room at the front - we were sat in the bright lights near the kitchen which is not as nice, so i'd recommend requesting a table in the main room
