This restaurant has been recently revamped. They previously had a great menu and delicious food in a casual friendly atmosphere
At this moment ( May 2024) the restaurant is open but they are waiting for approval from the town for the outdoor seating.
Same owners so I would expect the new version to be great.

There are so many nice shops in Kennebunkport that we still have not been to. We saw " Minka" on the Chronicle show and it perked our interest. I plan to go Christmas shopping here this year for some unique gifts.
Definitly worth checking out while you're in town along with many others here in town.
