Excellent atmosphere, food and staff. Great, well rounded menu. Attention to detail is obvious. The mousse was silky and tasted amazing. Reservations are suggested.

I enjoyed the lobster cones although it was a very small amount of lobster. We got burgers too which were good. Overall, it's good food, a little on the expensive size for the relatively small portions, but I would go there again if I happened to be inthe area, I wouldn't necessarily drive out of my way for it though.

Had a delish anniversary dinner. Food was amazing as always! Service was good. Could have been better for sure. There was an extremely loud annoying patron nearby so it was hard to hear my wife speak from across the table. Overall still an amazingdining experience.

Long over due date night and MK Kitchen did not disappoint. Great ambiance for intimate dinner or casual eating with family and friends. We arrived early for our reservation, and the hostess was very kind and was able to seat us very quickly. Ourwaitress (Julia) was fantastic. She didn't hover. She checked in a few times. The remainder of the wait staff was alsohelpful to full water glasses or remove empty plates. Food was flavorful and well presented. We had the tomato tart as anappetizer (with nut free pesto but it doesn't say so in the menu) I had the rigatoni with sausage bolognese sauce. My husbandhad the short rib. For dessert, we had the chocolate mousse and the warm chocolate cake. Wonderful experience overall. Sonice to have a modern restaurant not too far away from us! Well done and keep up the good work!

This place is a hidden gem and a must try! Loved the waitstaff, especially Jocelyn, she was so kind and patient and made our night extra special. Highlight of the whole meal had to be the crème brûlée (best I’ve ever had). The portion size for thefood is generous! We had the short rib dish and the grilled filet mignon with risotto. Both were delicious. Short ribs weretender, and the mushroom risotto was fabulous with great flavor. This restaurant made me feel so special on my birthday with anadded surprise of a hand written birthday card from the staff!

The overall ambience and food were impeccable! The evening was a nice experience and would come again. The only critic is that the flavor and quality of the bread and oil combo was lacking.

This is a lovely restaurant inside with great waitstaff and interesting and attractive food. Can they do something about the fish odor? What about some window shades to disguise the traffic?

For the past few years, we have been fortunate to have Jocelyn as our server. She is such a delightful person, and her memory is impressive! MK is our go-to restaurant for a special night out. Thank you!

Our server, Matea, was exceptional. The food was delicious, and the drinks were equally impressive. If we're not heading to Portland for dinner, we're on our way to MK Kitchen in Gorham—our favorite restaurant!

We had a wonderful evening, and the food was outstanding, as was the service. We were touched by the note left for us, especially since we were celebrating our 56th wedding anniversary. Thank you for making our evening so special!

I ordered the quinoa bowl, which was satisfying and delicious. The Brussel sprouts on top were incredible, but the rest of the bowl didn't have much flavor. The vegan bread served as an appetizer was tasty and had a nice texture. The restaurant had a good selection of cocktails and wine.

The vegan quinoa dish on the menu at this restaurant is absolutely delicious, and while it is the only vegan entree available, the staff is accommodating and knowledgeable. The kitchen is willing to modify side dishes upon request. Despite the quinoa bowl, this is actually an upscale restaurant with a full bar, tasty cocktails, and a high-end urban dining atmosphere, even though it is located in the suburbs. Every time I have dined here, the cocktails have been amazing, the food has been good, and the service has been fantastic. It would be nice to see more variety in the vegan options, as I have had the quinoa dish five times already. Overall, this restaurant is a hidden gem and it is nice to be able to order directly from the menu without having to question or interrogate the waitstaff to ensure a vegan dish.

I have eaten at this restaurant three times and each time was fantastic. The food is truly five-star quality! It's fantastic that Gorham has such a wonderful dining establishment. One thing that stood out to me that others may not have mentioned is their happy hour. MK Kitchen has a lovely bar area with a skilled bartender serving delicious drinks and appetizers. I highly recommend MK Kitchen for a special evening out or even just stopping by for a drink and some appetizers.

Had another great dinner at our neighborhood fave; MK Kitchen! Had the new duck breast entree for the first time and it was melt in your mouth! Oh, and the carmelized banana tart dessert.....Yikes! Great job Team MK!

My wife and I had dinner and drinks at MK Kitchen tonight and wow, completely blown away. The detailed work by the front of house staff was exceptional. We had no less than 5 people stop by to handle all aspects from taking our coats and pouring refills to boxing up appetizers and checking on our meal. I had a Filet and it was cooked to absolute perfection and my wife had the vegan quinoa, and for someone who is always picking from a limited menu, she was delighted. Will be back! Thank you!

Our experience at this restaurant was exceptional from the moment we walked in. Despite being early for our reservation, the hostess quickly rearranged tables near the bar so we could enjoy a cocktail before our table was ready. This set the tone for a great evening. Our server, Abby, was fantastic and the food was delicious. The entire staff seemed dedicated to providing an unforgettable experience, not just a meal. We will definitely be returning.
