10 out of 10. We stopped in to grab a glass of wine and a few oysters while walking around Kennebunkport for the day. Sat at the bar and got great service from Greg (hopefully we are remembering his name correct!). Recommendations were awesome, great conversation, and even helped us out with a request without batting an eye. He made our honeymoon that much more special. Sit at the bar here, it's worth the wait when in town.

The food here is excellent! Pricey but excellent. We came here and had mussels, shrimp, lobster, New England clam chowder.
In the evening, the sun shines in and can be uncomfortable to those sensitive to the light. Maybe better shades? Good view of the harbor but...you're here for the food not the harbor. At least, I was. Overall, an excellent meal. I graded down a star because it was expensive.

We visited the Boathouse for lunch on our anniversary. We were immediately seated, outside as requested, on a beautiful day. Xavier L was our server and he was fantastic! Even gave us champagne to toast! Food was yummy and we had a wonderful afternoon.

Wonderful service from everyone, including valet service, hostess Mike and server Jane. Came for our anniversary dinner and they made it special with champagne to start off the evening. Meal was incredible. Cooked absolutely perfect with generous servings. We will definitely be back again.

We had a wonderful experience dining at The Boathouse Restaurant in Kennebunkport. Located right on the water, the ambiance is upscale yet relaxed, offering gorgeous views of the harbor and passing boats.The hospitality here is top-notch. Our server, Bernadette, was fantastic and took great care of us throughout the night. The absolute highlight of our evening was Mike, the host, who was filling in outside his usual position. He was phenomenal, brought so much energy to the room, and was incredibly fun to interact with!For our meals, we ordered the Caesar salad with chicken and the quinoa beet salad with chicken. The Caesar was excellent. The quinoa beet salad was good and very fresh, though it could have used a bit more feta to really balance out the flavors.Overall, between the stunning river backdrop and the exceptional team, it was a great meal. We highly recommend stopping by if you are in the Dock Square area!
