    The food was very good here. However the total price of $174 for 2 entrees and 2 drinks is excessive. It's another over priced restaurant. Kennebunkport is a nice historic town. But the prices there are over the top for lodgings and dining. We tried to support the shops, but most are just full of trinkets. Portsmouth is a much higher town quality and better priced.

    Wonderful dining experience! Our server, Delaney was beyond amazing. We were celebrating our daughter’s birthday and Delaney overheard us talking and brought over some Prosecco for each of us to help celebrate. My daughter and I both got the NY strip and hubby got the half chicken. All meals were delectable! Artichoke appetizer was great too. Will definitely be back! 5 stars!

    The service was friendly and prompt, we were early for our reservation and they took us in and sat us. We were happy to sit at the bar and wait, but the staff made room for us.
