We finally took the plunge on our last afternoon in Kennebunkport and our only regret is not stopping in sooner. Our server, Santana, was also the bartender and one of only two servers on shift and she still managed to be kind, attentive and prompt. The restaurant is very clean and the simple menu is executed with care. Highly recommend the fried chicken bites (not sure of item name) on the appetizer menu: hand cut and breaded (definitely their own seasoning mix) chicken thighs, perfectly dressed with hot honey. So good. Tuna melt was OK, very good ratio of tuna to mayo (ie it was not a mayo with essence of tuna emulsion).

It wasn't too crowded during lunch, and the steamers were fantastic. However, the haddock Reuben was a bit greasy. Nevertheless, it was still really delicious!

Wow, this place has some absolutely amazing food! The lobster roll was perfect, and the chicken tenders were the the best I’ve ever had anywhere in the country.... read more Wow, this place has some absolutely amazing food!
