Friends from Portsmouth recommended this place. We went with another couple. The place is very popular -- they don't take reservations and it took about 45 minutes to get a table on a Friday night. It was well worth the wait. We got drinks at the bar next door while we waited, which was great. The restaurant called us when the table was ready. Excellent, delicious, interesting dishes, great drinks, great seafood options, fantastic tapas style menu, excellent service (attentive without being annoying), fun atmosphere. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Highly recommended for an elevated meal and experience.

Our favorite restaurant in Kittery. Have a drink at The Dram if there’s a wait for your table. It’s always worth the wait!

Best restaurant on the seacoast (but probably in the world). Ridiculously well executed food & drinks. Gavin has made us feel at home since the 1st time we went there many, many moons ago. Entire staff is always fantastic and extremely welcoming.

Truly a hidden gem. My husband and I went here for my birthday and had an amazing experience. Al tending bar conjures up incredible cocktails.

They deserve 6 stars. My meal was one of the best I’ve had in a long time, and I’m a foodie. Service was impeccable. Waitress was charming. Only downside was the mediocre white wine by-the-glass. Not a terrific selection. I didn’t ask if they have a corkage fee, but I should have.

Came here on a recommendation. Glad we listened! Nice little spot with bar and table seating. Food was great, and my old fashioned hit the spot. Shawn was awesome, and the vintage vinyl records playing were on point! Go check this place out!

Wow, this place has it going on. Fabulous fare, super organized (they should run our federal government) and good energy. You won't be let down.
