32 Best Seafood Restaurants near Kennebunkport

“Just went for cocktails and bites from the Veranda menu. It was pretty windy outside, so they let us sit in the living room. But we still had an incredible view of the ocean at sunset! The drinks and food were amazing. I loved the Thyme 75 and the deviled eggs (perfect smokey paprika and crispy shallots). It was quiet and not crowded during the off-season. The service was perfect. Attentive and kind, but let us enjoy our quiet time with the waves. We will definitely be back!“

“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!“

“During our four-night stay at The Tides Beach Club, we found ourselves irresistibly drawn back to their restaurant, not once, but twice, a testament in itself to its magnetic charm.

On both evenings, we were attended by Ruel, whose service embodied the art of hospitality: attentive without intrusion, polished yet warmly personable. His grace and professionalism elevated the dining experience to something truly memorable.

The cuisine was nothing short of exceptional, each plate thoughtfully composed, balancing coastal freshness with refined execution. Cocktails were crafted with precision, showcasing top-shelf ingredients and a deft hand behind the bar.

Set against the serene backdrop of the seaside, the restaurant invites lingering conversation and quiet indulgence. The Tides Beach Club Restaurant is not merely a hotel dining option, it’s a destination unto itself, and one well worth savoring.“

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

“Impressive! I will be recommending this place to all my guests. I could not believe how much lobster was in this. It came with a fork and I can see why. You don’t want to miss this stop if you’re looking for the best lobster roll in Ogunquit!“

“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!“

“10/10 - amazing food and service! Cocktails were excellent!“

“We live on Cape Cod, but we travel up to Ogunquit area a few times each year and it’s never ever a trip until we get to Billy‘s chowder House. It’s awesome. Love the food, friendly atmosphere just a blast to be there not to mention the rum punch.“

We had all the apps..Thai brussels sprouts, onion strings, crabcakes..The were super busy but the staff was calm, efficient, and friendly.. Our server, Stephanie, was awesome!! Highly recommended😊😊“

“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!“

“This is our second time staying at the hotel and eating at Surf 360. I love the staff. When reading past reviews that are negative about the staff, I honestly think they might be the rude type never happy. If you see a reviewer that always complains about staff it usually has nothing to do with the restaurant. The many staff I've met are accommodating, knowledgeable about the menu, and make you feel comfortable. Last night there was a gentleman at the bar where I ordered food and drinks. He was very nice when serving others before me. When I ordered we engaged in a funny conversation and he was quick with service. Today I just went over and there were 2 ladies working. Both were so sweet and helped me immediately.
The quality of food depends of what you order. My husband said the fish tacos were some of the best! Our son loved the chicken tenders and I concur. The crab cake was the only thing that didn't taste good. Hopefully they will try new recipes in the future. Macaroni and cheese was hot and delicious. Overall I highly recommend.“

“The food was fantastic! 10/10 definitely recommend! ⭐️“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“We are hear visiting Kennebunkport and was recommended by someone we met on our beach walk. We had a 5 star lunch. Smash burger awesome and fish taco delicious
Nice friendly service. Beautiful atmosphere with there new renovations. Don’t miss a chance to have lunch here.“

“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 😅“

“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.“

“We make reservations for our guests at The Tiller Restaurant frequently as the views and menu are perfect for every romantic get away, highly recommend!“

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

“This place is a staple of our city! We love Saco house of pizza. Ask for the pizza to be toasty and you will be amazed.
Salads are fresh, chicken fingers are great and we love the fresh crinkle cut fries. Delivery is always pretty quick too!“
