"This is a small restaurant situated within easy walking distance from our hotel (King's Port Inn). It is favored by the locals as attested to by the large number of takeout orders on the Thursday evening of our visit. We dined in, but departed wishing we had been hungrier since the few items we tasted were quite good. We started off with a shared order of fried spring rolls followed by individual bowls of tom Kha gai soup. The soup was fresh and flavorful and something that will certainly be reordered in the future. Next trip we will rectify our the error of our ways by arriving starved so we can sample a few of their entrees. Though our server was busy with takeout orders and servicing 2 other tables, he was friendly and quite efficient."

"We came for our wedding anniversary dinner. Server: Jessica M. Is the best! She is kind and has perfect timing. She is thorough (makes sure to check for food allergies) and patient (she gave me three wine samples until I found the wine I liked). Thank you! Location: We we?re staying at AWOL Kennebunkport and it was a 5-min walk. It is also very close to the center of town. Ambiance: I wasn?t crazy about the music, but the noise level was fine and the lighting was perfect. Food: What I love about French cuisine is that the portions are small. We enjoyed the amazing baguette with thyme-infused butter, duck cassoulet and steak frites. I was not crazy about the house made seasonal compote at the bottom of the Creme brûlée. I prefer the traditional one. Bring your loved one for a special evening and you will not be disappointed."

"This place is a little pricey, but well worth it. The halibut was perfectly cooked and cooked to order with no bread crumbs. The rice had nice saffron seasoning and a hint of sweetness. Great fresh veggies. The room we sat in was nice home feeling."

"After reading positive reviews, my family and I were eager to try out this new restaurant. This is my 1st negative review having truly enjoyed fine tables such as Five-0 and Northern Union in Ogunquit or Via Sophia in Kbpt. This restaurant is not one I could recommend for several reasons: We ordered 4 items from the raw bar: petite oysters, tuna carpaccio, sea bass crudo and scallops ceviche.The crudo was the best plate we had all evening,it was well seasoned and the tomato water paired well. Both the carpaccio and the ceviche were too vinegary (as if a jar of capers had been poured on the tuna). The oysters never came as no one informed our server that they were out of that item. We enquired about them once the other dishes were done and we were not offered an alternative. With respect to the mains, the wood smoked halibut was lacking in taste, the “blue” filet mignon was at best medium-rare (although the the seasoning was fine). Two of us had mussels as mains. Almost half of them were closed shut or undercooked and the 3 sides of fries we ordered were so salty they we inedible. The side of asparagus was our 2nd best dish of the evening. Our biggest disappointment was the handling of our wine order. My father ordered a bottle of Louis Métaireau Melon de Bourgogne, expecting a dry wine from Burgundy. Although he did briefly taste the wine, we realized once the wine was poured that it was a much sweeter Muscadet Sèvre et Maine (not a Bourgogne). We discussed this with our server who initially offered to bring us another bottle and to comp the first bottle. Unfortunately, the server returned to the table to argue that a Bourgogne is the same grape as a Muscadet, then her manager came to the table and started arguing rudely with my father stating that he had tasted and accepted the wine. We did not dare criticize the food. The owners should be made aware of how poorly trained the wait and kitchen staff are and how poorly supervised the restaurant is in their absence."
