Customer Reviews
The Boathouse Restaurant is a beautiful waterfront location with delicious food and great staff. We came as a party of 7 and had to wait ~1 hour to be seated. No reservations but you’re able to track your wait online. Our waiter, Xavier, was super kind, funny, and great at his job. He even went above and beyond, surprising us with a round of prosecco as we were celebrating a bachelorette party. The steak & noodles salad was the stand out favorite among the group with the Brussels sprouts and lobster fried rice also being crowd pleasers. We’d all definitely recommend this absolutely stunning restaurant!!
Had a lovely dinner here when visiting Kennebunkport for the weekend. We ordered the Seafood Tom Yum Noodles and Seared Shrimp & Scallops to share. The broth of the noodles did have a spicy kick to the them but was still enjoyable. I also had a very refreshing mocktail. We had dinner at sunset and could watch the sunset over the water, great atmosphere and service!
A great surprise and a perfect meal by the water! When we visited Kennebunkport, it was packed with tourists—so packed we couldn’t find parking anywhere! Thankfully, we spotted The Boathouse Restaurant and saw they offered valet parking for diners. That alone felt like a small miracle. We had originally planned to eat here, but the website had said they were closed. We were so glad that turned out to be wrong because the Boathouse ended up being the highlight of our day. The setting was gorgeous—both indoor and outdoor seating are available, but we chose to sit outside right by the water. Watching the kayakers and boats glide by while we dined made for such a relaxing experience. We shared two appetizers and the lobster dinner, and it was more than enough for both of us. Everything was
Beautiful spot near the water and we really enjoyed the food! We ordered the wings, poke bowl, and clam chowder. Only complaint…Staff was okay… not very friendly at least our waiter wasn’t.
Food, service, and staff were impeccable. We had a kind waitress named Kali who really catered to our needs and made our experience 10x better. The atmosphere is perfect and the food was good. We had a great table. I realized that I’m actually not a seafood person, so I may not be the best person for this review, but the lobster roll was excellent and very fresh. My mother got the fish and chips and she said it was good but lacked seasoning/flavor. We got the street corn appetizer that was on the specials for the day and it was delicious! Overall, would definitely go back. Try the Miami cocktail and the blueberry sangria!
