    Medium rare? Prime rib
    Bridget L.

    Seated immediately upon walking in. Our waitress was polite. The pomegranate martini was delicious , as was the warm rolls they bring to the table. I order my prime rib medium rare, I got it almost well done and the cut wasnt a good cut of meat, and there was no flavor at all. The lobster was cooked correctly snd they did give enough butter for it. The creme brûlée cheesecake while good was not anything creme brûlée like. I would go back if I was starving and everywhere else had a wait, but yeah not my first choice.

    Fish/chips and half pound burger
    slaw d.

    Excellent burger, cooked perfect and lettuce/tomato was crisp. Fries were hit and delicious. The fish and chips were lightly breaded and fried to perfection, not greasy. Waitress was very nice and attentive. Nice, relaxed atmosphere. Definitely will return.

    Full salad bar and soup

    I loved the full salad bar and had two plates! Ordered the combo dinner of haddock, stuffed shrimp and scallops which was great. There were rolls with the meal and my drink was just what I needed after a long trip. We ended up taking home a slice of chocolate cake and white chocolate raspberry brûlée. Our server was pretty cool and very friendly

    2 foot lobster roll is outstanding. Servers are nice. Relaxed atmosphere. Love coming here.

    This is a local staple. It has a country vibe, with a lot of seating. The entrée comes with the soup and salad bar (which looks like a boat). Mom had the haddock and I chose the maple pork chop. Both were prepared well and we both enjoyed then.

    Haddock lite bites $10.99

    We LOVE this place when in tow. Great fresh seafood, daily specials and staff that is always friendly. They've been in business for over 50 years with the same owners. Not super fancy it I go there for the GREAT FOOD

    12 oz prime rib...so good!

    Finding a restaurant that nails both exceptional food and an authentically welcoming atmosphere can…read morebe tough, but Bitter End completely exceeded our expectations the past two times we have been there. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was fun, eclectic, and effortlessly charming. People from all walks are there; kids through grandparents, business professionals to first dates. The service was excellent; I do recall the waiter being a little quirky, we love some personality. The staff were genuinely attentive, warm, and kept the mood light and upbeat throughout our entire meal. It is rare to experience hospitality that feels this natural and entirely unforced. As for the food, every single dish was a home run. Everything tasted remarkably fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and packed with incredible flavor. You can easily tell that the kitchen takes immense pride in what they put out, and the drink menu offered wonderful pairings that elevated the entire meal. I will suggest that it would be a miss to not add a drink to your menu called a "motorboat". Whether you are a local or just visiting the Kennebunk area, this place is an absolute must-visit. We left completely satisfied, smiling, vibing and already talking about when we can return, every time. It's our benchmark for when we try new restaurants as well.

I had the scallops with lobster spinach risotto which was amazing. The sea scallops were cooked perfectly as was the risotto. It was one of those meals where you eat slowly becasue you don't want it to end. My wife had the mixed grilled seafood seafood which was delicious. The manager was very personable and was busy setting up the outdoor patio heaters. Our waiter kept the fire in the fire pit going. We ate outside and took a look inside and the quirky charm of this place continued there too. I don't leave a lot of 5 star ratings but this place earned it. We're from Rhode Island but we'll be back next year.

It was a bit odd to see 5 vacant tables when the line was 15 people out the door, but okay... again, they must have a system. Order came out shortly, no issues. Food was great! Deducted 1 Star because the bathroom was pretty sub par and didn't have a mirror. Great place to take a break and take in some local seafood in Perkins Cove.

    My sister, who lives in Wells, sent us here on our first day. My Mom really wanted some chowder…read more Initial Service was super fast. We ordered Mozarella sticks that were pretty good. My Mom ordered a cup of chowder, thank goodness she didn't order the bowl because she said it was absolutely awful. To be fair, their menu does explain how theirs is different from typical chowder. My Mom said it was really watery and had no flavor. Luckily she also ordered some shrimp, whichi took a while to come out but were great. I ordered the chicken breast plain sandwich with no tomatoes, fried, and a side Caesar salad with blue cheese dressing. They brought it out with the tomato, good thing I am not allergic to tomatoes. The sandwich was great, tons of chicken and it wasn't too dry. I learned about "buckie" rolls and that they are soft and break easily. I ended up eating my chicken with a fork!! I needed more dressing and the server didn't bring in a timely fashion, the lettuce being wilted by the time she brought it. The pickle on the plate was good, but the fries were just OK. We were able to get a window seat in the bar, which made for a nice start to our Maine vacation. I would come here again, and would probably order the same thing. My mom, however, would probably not!!

If you loved Village Tavern under the previous owners, you should know that the beloved restaurant you remember no longer exists. The name is the same. The esthetic is the same. Some menu items even have the same names. But the experience is not. During our visit, the calamari, salmon, duck, and haddock were all cooked properly, yet each dish was surprisingly bland and forgettable. Many longtime favorites, including the wide selection of side dishes like the broccoli with blue cheese, are gone. This isn't a bad restaurant on its own merits. The problem is that it's trading on the reputation of something that no longer exists. What I find most puzzling is that the new owners kept the Village Tavern name while abandoning so much of what made it successful. When a restaurant has earned decades of loyalty, you would expect new ownership to preserve its strengths. Instead, it feels like they discarded the very things that built its reputation. I left disappointed, but mostly sad. A restaurant I once considered one of the best in Southern Maine is now simply pedestrian and overly priced. Former fans should adjust their expectations accordingly or avoid the disappointment altogether.

Sometimes it can be loud from traffic so it's a crap shoot!. The menu had just changed and the fried buffalo cauliflower was eliminated. The appetizer choices were all seafood . No vegetarian or meat for appetizers. Prices have also increased. A fillet mignon is now 50.00. I was surprised to see many empty tables . We had a large party . Every meal was plated beautifully but very salty. The fried calamari my friend got was so very salty. All of our meals were salty as well. This was always my favorite place but I will not be retuning unless the chef can put down the salt shaker. A good chef does not cover his food with salt. I want to taste my food. I'm wondering if this restaurant is under new management or just a new chef? Our server and host were wonderful though.
