We had to wait about 30 min, lunchtime at The Boathouse. Our server, Andrew was excellent. He was very attentive and friendly. Our food was excellent, and it was a beautiful sunny day out on the deck! The coconut cheesecake was awesome!

Let me begin by saying that the bar’s Bloody Mary is the best I’ve ever had! They make their own mix. For our meal, We sat on the patio. Ordered oysters from the raw bar. Outstanding. Ordered mussels. Best I’ve ever had. Ordered a lobster roll. Outstanding. Enjoyed a bottle of champagne. Perfect. Service was great. Valet parking.

The restaraunt is a marina style eatery. We did not have reservations and 13 in our group and they didn’t have seating except at the bar but we made it work. Our waitress Taylor was awesome and got our orders correct as well as bills separated easily. The crowd was mixed with uppers and casual. Beach house style attire. Food was decent for Maine.

Great restaurant and bar on the water downtown Kennebunkport. Views, great cocktail selection and relaxed vibe. Fun on a weekend afternoon for appetizers and a social bar scene. The bartender Christian maintained impeccable services, while keeping the mood lively & fun. Valet parking, multiple bars and waterfront seating. We will be back.

We had a great meal here last Sunday. It was fairly crowded for an overcast April afternoon but we managed to get a hightop in the bar area. Our server recommended this seared shrimp and scallop dish and it was delicious. Great place, we’ll be back.

The food was really good along with the service. It gets quite busy at wait times can be long so it’s good to get reservations before hand. All in all we had a very pleasant experience at the Boathouse.
