Ocean - KENNEBUNKPORT

The view was very nice. For the price however, I was expecting to be blown away. Unfortunately the food was very bland for the almost $300 bill (meal options and 2 drinks . The bread served at the begining of the meal may have been the best food of the evening, it was delicious! I ordered the clam/lobster chowder (it was very pretty! but it only had one clam on the plate. It was not a cup or a bowl, it was quite literally served on a plate. Maybe 4 bites max. My main course steak was good, however, I believe it was considered one of the options with an additional cost (to the already $105 option we chose for the night And at the end of the day it was your average steak. My boyfriend got the fish for his main, it was cooked well but was flavorless. And unfortunately like my chowder, the portion size does not match the price tag. As the night progressed our wait time increased significantly, we were sat at 6 and left at 745pm. The service was friendly, but again, the price paid should have a wow factor, and it was definitely lacking. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $100+ Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 4

We thoroughly enjoyed Ocean Restaurant Kennebunkport. All of the courses were delicious, and their lamb entree was outstanding. The lovely oceanfront view and service was also a very nice experience. Thank you and all the best from Dallas, Texas. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Our visit to Ocean was sadly a disappointment. Positives: View was beautiful and the service was attentive. Food was plated beautifully. Our waitress noticed that our food took forever to arrive and offered to buy us a drink (we declined as we had to drive, but did notice that she didn't even end up comping the one drink we did order at the beginning of the evening). Negatives: Food was obscenely overpriced and unbelievably bland. I got the asparagus and lobster salad for my first course and it had absolutely zero flavor and maybe 1 ounce total of lobster. Entree selections were limited and bizarre for Maine in the summer. Very little local fresh seafood but instead lamb? I actually got the lamb but the meat, carrots and polenta were all cold upon arrival to my table. I would've sent it back but by that point it was 10:00 (we were seated at 8:00) and I just wanted to get out of there. Beyond that, the lamb was utterly tasteless. My husband's cod was also undercooked and not at all seasoned. Everything we had not only lacked flavor but lacked any sort of texture or contrast. I would've been upset at the food even if the meal had been reasonably priced. However, at well over $100 a person, one should be able to expect food that is far more than mediocre. I would recommend this place only for drinks on the deck. Or I would recommend if you are both flush with cash and terrified of anything that has flavor.
