The bathrooms are clean but they could use more stalls. Parking is easy, although messy if it's raining. The acoustics aren't too bad if there is a DJ. The servers are all excellent, and they attempt to do silver service, meaning that they serve food simultaneously to each person at the table, etc. It's not silver service! The food is ok. We had steak tips that were delicious. The chicken picatta was dry and tiny. This is a great place for a wedding or corporate event, just be sure to stay on top of the details.

My husband and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the stunning York Harbor Reading Room. We…read morevisited numerous potential wedding venues in southern Maine, but nothing felt right until we came across the Reading Room. We fell instantly in love with the incredible ocean view, the beautiful interior, the out-of-this world food, and with Mary, the on-site wedding coordinator. A month has passed since our wedding, and my husband and I are honestly a little sad we no longer have an excuse to interact with Mary. She has coordinated weddings at the Reading Room for years, and is a master. There is no detail that escapes her inquiry. She will ask about set up, timelines, preferences, food, flowers, and will coordinate with all your vendors. My husband and I pride ourselves on being detail oriented, but we were surprised by the things that had escaped our attention that revealed themselves during discussions with Mary. But more than just details, Mary is a joy to work with. She is kind and funny, and it is obvious that even after dozens of weddings, she really enjoys them. In fact, Mary seemed to enjoy our wedding day as much as us. You will not be disappointed by the York Harbor Reading Room. We highly recommend it.

When we approached the hostess stand we were asked if we had reservations. She hemmed and hawed and after a little bit we were shown to a table on the front patio. Mind you, there was no one here and all the tables were open!! It was so nice and peaceful dining on the porch of such a pretty old bed & breakfast. They have rocking chairs located around the property so you can relax. They have an amazing lawn that rolls downhill to the road. Beautiful site. We ordered a couple of drinks and appetizers and were happy. The crab dip wasn't too crabby for my non-seafood tongue. We had to order more bread, though, to finish it off. The candied bacon was an interesting appetizer and I am happy I ordered it. I enjoyed my fancy drink. My sisters has white wine. I would definitely come here again. Lost a star because of the rude woman at the hostess stand. Although, by the time we left the place was packed.

Being a NH local, as soon as we toured The View we knew it was the venue for us. Donna & team made every step of the process exceed expectations - from our tasting to the wedding day it was everything we could have hoped for and more. The food was incredible, thank you Chef Eides! We had people complementing it for weeks after the wedding (the house made lemon cheesecake, wow). We wish we could go back and re-live our day over and over again because it was that good. The service and execution that Donna, Eides, and the entire Pepperrell Cove staff offer is next level. We can't recommend this venue enough. Thank you SO MUCH for making it the best day of our lives. Taylor & Justin Jones

Along w Rocky Horror Picture show and other classics from the golden era of film. Horror movies like Halloween or Friday the 13th would be great as well. It's a great and perfect throwback to yesteryear with the layout and how they do things. The owner said they do trivia and Cuban dance lessons among other fun events there. It's really a great find and I wish more towns had these small local joints where it's intimate and fun and a great experience. The burlesque show was awesome. All the woman were attractive and the show was great. My first ever. Looking forward to my next visit at the Strand. A great spot when in Dover to visit.
