The Front Yard

Went for dinner last night with friends. A few reasons why only 3 Stars. My husband ordered rack of lamb and asked for it rare but it came more well. Our waitress brought it back for a new one. Very nice! I ordered Spinach Salad with blackened salmon on the rare side. The salmon was not rare nor blackened. And extremely salty. But I ate most of it because I truly don’t like to complain Lastly after dinner my friends wanted coffee. We were informed No Coffee!! Seriously! The Best of restaurants serve coffee. That was the last straw. I really don’t think I would return. Too bad because it’s a very attractive restaurant. So Disappointed!!

Our meal was outstanding! The lobster fettuccine with vodka sauce, seafood chowder, and salmon was all 5 star perfection. I can't remember the exact name of the dishes. Also Duke provided 5 star service. Highly recommend trying it out!

We chose this restaurant because my daughter saw it driving by, and liked the way it looked. With kids, we made sure something on the menu would work for them, and found they had a nice selection for our kids. We were glad she picked it!! The food was excellent.

My daughter enjoyed their meals, which included a Caesar salad, kids Alfredo (to die for!!), and pizza. We were hungry after a long day at beach, so we ordered appetizers, salads and entrees. The salads were enormous, and wonderful! I would definitely recommend the spinach salad - wonderful combination of flavors. We also ordered the meatballs and Brussels Spout appetizers, both were excellent. Again, just the right combination to flavors. I had the lobster pappardelle in vodka sauce, and it was wonderful and LOADED with lobster. My husband had the steak tips and enjoyed them immensely. My mother had the shrimp with fresh bucatini, and said it was also excellent.

They had a number of seafood dishes to chose from, so I wouldn’t let that deter you from coming here if you go looking for seafood when you are here in Maine (like myself).

The service was not seamless, but I have been trying to be understanding given the circumstances these services are working. The owner came over and apologized for an order mix up, and all the staff were very nice. I heard this is a newer restaurant, so perhaps they are also working out the kinks amidst a pandemic.

Good variety of drinks as well as food. Included local attractions like the lobster but added nice Mediterranean twists and house made pastas. Pricier but entirely worth it. We got the lobster in a vodka sauce and shrimp with pasta.

Welcome to town!! Congrats on the new restaurant. We really enjoyed our time here. Wine and beer list were excellent. We had the octopus app, steak tips, and a seafood risotto. All were excellent. As was the service and atmosphere.
