We had a wonderful time sitting in the outdoor patio at the front of the Inn. The service while scattered was okay. The bartender seemed overwhelmed no matter the number of patrons but he was incredibly nice. There was a very talented young lady playing the guitar and singing which added to the wonderful evening. read more

Amazing food and drinks. Great menu options. Bartenders are so welcoming and friendly. Location is convenient. read more

Arrived around 7:30pm into Kennebunkport at the Inn and went right into the Burleigh. The meatball appetizer was perfect for my dinner. Staff is so friendly. Ask for the chocolate chip pan cookie if it's not in the menu. read more

We had a good time here! Everything was decorated for Christmas - even the ceiling. I got a butternut squash soup, my mom got a prosciutto flatbread, my fiancé got a roasted chicken, and my dad got the American Smash Burger. Everything was delicious. read more

Charlie the bartender was wonderful. The Malbec was fine. The ribs were delicious. I wish there were more vegetables on the menu. Please bring back the music! read more

It's a fun space, we liked the ivy covered decor, pleasant and comfortable. Good selection of draft beers, but wife's dirty martini was bad - she had one at each of our dinner places all week and this was far and away the worst martini of the trip. Started with the carb dip, the dip was ok, but the house chips that accompanied them were fabulous. I'm a sucker for house made chips, and these were top notch. Got the fish and chips. The fish was very fresh and tasty, and nicely crispy fried. The two large filets came on top of an enormous pile of fries. Barely made a small dent in the fries. Wife did the filet and liked it. It was probably least loved of the restaurants we went to in Kennebunkport. It was ok, and certainly convenient when staying at the inn, there are just a lot of really great options just steps away in town. read more

This restaurant / bar was very festive for the Christmas prelude, glad we had dinner here for the ambiance. Overall food and drinks were good, wished it was a little better but was an overall good experience. The service / staff very friendly as well. read more

On an August Sunday night when most other restaurants had hour-long waits we were delighted to walk into a mostly-empty Burleigh. As much as we locals appreciate an empty restaurant the Burleigh deserves more business. Fabulous bartender Stacy, excellent fried chicken bao and fish and chips. Only the Caesar salad was meh. read more

The Burleigh - One of the two bao. At $15 it's the best bargain in town. Crispiest chicken ever. - New American Near Me - Kennebunkport, Maine

Great place! Service was amazing and drinks even better!!! Will definitely be going back when we are back in town!

Very poor experience. Were seated in 4 top at bar area even though reservations requested standard seating. Appetizer took over an hour. Were told entrees were being plated yet still took another 15 to arrive. Then when they finally came my wife's truffle Mac n cheese had lobster when she specifically sand no lobster due to seafood allergy. By the time the correct entree came out it took so long we had to get it to go. Really poor experience compared to other great Kennebunkport experiences. If you can't handle the capacity then don't accept reservations. Complete amateur hour. read more

Went here for an early dinner with my parents, we were quickly seated out on the patio and our orders were taken promptly. We got the charcuterie board to start which was delicious, and our main dishes were also delicious! (Caesar salad with steak, smash burger and fish and chips- all amazing) the patio was so cute and with the shade of the umbrellas it was the perfect spot! So glad we made the choice to pop in, will definitely be come back! read more

Stayed at the Kennebunkport inn , made reservations for dinner in the Ski Gondola. ( the bureigh ) staff is very friendly! Gondolas are adorable and comfy & heated! Ordered drinks and app, had crab and cheese dip with chips! I did mot care for this dip. Made our dinner selections of Pork Tenderloin and baked stuffed haddock. My tenderloin was good and filling, husbands Haddock was also good, then had creme brûlée to end our night... our waitress was friendly and nice and on-top of refills and making sure we had all we needed. read more

This restaurant is in the bottom of a cute Inn. I have never been there in the summer so I can't comment but this review is for the pop up bar, The Tinsel bar. The decorations are amazing and the bar/ restaurant is so cute. The service was fantastic and the food was amazing. I got the pork loin and it was very tender and juicy. My friend got the butternut squash soup and she said it was fantastic. I would come here just to get a drink and see the decorations! read more

My wife and I had this dish last night and it was amazing! The sauce was one that I wish I can replicate so I would eat more fish! The serious was great and for a Sunday night we were impressed with how attentive our wait person was. read more

There are so many cute restaurants in Kennebunkport but we chose this one based on reviews and their menu. Any place with a kids menu is a plus. This restaurant is located in the Kennebunkport Inn and you can't park in the hotel parking spots as that's reserved for guests staying at the hotel only. It's a small restaurant and we sat in the area by the bar. The seats were comfortable. Bread and truffle butter - omg. You had me at butter and truffle. It was truly delicious. Kids hot dog - it came out burnt which was a bummer and we told the waitress if we can get another one bc my son will not eat a burnt hotdog, who would? The fries were delicious with the perfect amount of salt. Kids cheeseburger - ok. My daughter didn't finish it and I thought it was because of the sesame bun but it wasn't. She's just really picky with burgers. Clam chowder - good. Bacon, potatoes, celery and clams of course. I'm not a clam person but it was good. Lobster melt - sooo good. Highly recommend it. I love arugula and cheese and lobster on buttered bread! It was all gone. Catch of the day - tuna - a little too fishy :( presentation looked good. Overall the service was spot on - Tabitha was amazing, friendly and just so delightful! I hope you enjoy your stay. The gentlemen was very nice as well! Thanks! read more

Overall, an okay dinner and experience. Service wasn't super on top of it, I was missing my plate & silverware-and had to request it. Then we had to ask for the table bread, as well refills were not prompt. Dining room was cozy and beautiful, and my husband and I's food was an 8/10! read more

Great service, we were the only one that night. Good food and looks very upscale. However nothing too special or memorable. Good for sit down, fine-ish dining with company. read more

My husband and I came to visit KPT for our "mini-moon" and came here for dinner. We made our reservation on open table which was super helpful, and we were seated at a cozy spot across from the tinsel bar. The menu is simple and everything is done exceptionally well. The charcuterie board was great, but could use more toast. The scallops WERE INCREDIBLE. I had the short rib entree which was rich in flavor and a large portion. My husband got the stuffed haddock with the seafood ritz cracker stuffing which was delicious too. Although we were quite full, we ordered the crème brûlée and it was the best we've ever had! read more

Despite a glitch with the reservation system, the hostess went above and beyond to secure us a table (arguably the best one in the restaurant next to a beautiful Christmas tree and fireplace!) along with a free glass of champagne. Our meals (steak frites and the braised short rib) were unbelievable. From service to the atmosphere to the food, I cannot recommend The Burleigh enough. read more

We sat at the Botanical Bar for happy hour and Stacy was the most lovely bartender! So friendly and made the BEST cocktails! I highly recommend the Fire Delight! We will be back tonight for the live music! read more

I just had one of the most wonderful nights this summer at the Burleigh! First, the outdoor seating is comfortable and well set up, with sparkling lights above and a view of the water (with a little bit of stretching). The waitstaff are all personable and really responsive, and the food is consistently great. We ordered: The steak carpacio- YES YES YES! The fried cauliflower app-Was wondering if I had made the wrong choice, as I had ordered the most excellent mussels in the past, but OOMG, the cauliflower was fantastic! It came with a peanut dipping sauce that I am still thinking about! The swordfish dinner-Super delicious In addition to all of this fantasticness, there was also a live Cabaret show!!! There are live shows at The Burleigh all summer on Friday and Saturday night outside (and on Sunday inside in the lounge). The night I was there, I had the most wonderful fortune to hear a singer named John Riddle, who was supremely talented and sang his heart out for all of us lucky enough to be dining that evening! If you are in town for the summer (or fall) (or for prelude in December), definitely check out the Burleigh! The summer/fall/prelude concerts are put on in tandem with the Burleigh (and the Kennebunkport Inn) and Club Cumming on the Coast. They have their own website listing who will be performing on future weekends. 100% follow up on this and book a table, you can thank me later! read more

Great ambience with a tasty menu. Our waiter was kind but low energy and seemed exhausted which was a bummer. The bar itself is super loud... dishes clacking, large ice bins being dumped constantly and blenders whirling so that part should be tightened up bc it interferes with the whole seaside relaxing fibe that they are encouraging. Still recommend the restaurant bc a great menu in a pretty location. The kitchen could turn out the food faster... a 30 minute wait for our non complicated dinner after the apps seemed excessive. The decor is high end nautical and very charming; but it needs a fresh cost of paint and the upholstery needs replacing or a deep clean. read more

Wonderful! Ate here mid-week and had a delicious dinner with wonderful, warm service. Started the dinner with baked goat cheese, which was very good with cocktails. I had the special - mustard glazed salmon (outstanding!!) and husband had the stuffed Halibut (also outstanding!). Would go back in a heartbeat! read more

We shared a lobster melt and cheeseburger. Both were excellent. Nice outdoor seating. Our puppy appreciated the dog-friendly service. Recommended! read more

Absolutely exceptional. The lobster carbonara was on another level. The staff was so kind and the atmosphere was great. If you're coming through town, don't forget to make a pit stop. read more

Food is always on point. The beef Wellington special was perfectly prepared. 4 stars is only due to the service being slow, the kitchen's fault. Waited over 30 minutes for our entrees. Caused us to be kicked out of our gondola (which you have for 90 minutes), to clear it for the next party. They did apologetically comp our desserts and a couple of beers which we ate in the lounge so, kudos for that. read more

This place is in the heart of Kennebunkport at the Inn and I've always thought of it as rather expensive. We stopped in for the piano music on Sunday night, which was really great, and had the best burger with fries for 17 dollars. They had other sandwiches in that price range also. There are more elegant dishes on the menu, which looked delicious as the waiter brought them out. Will definitely come back some Sunday for the burger and the music. read more

I just had my first meal at The Burleigh and I cannot overstate how much I enjoyed it. To start, the ambiance was very nice. It is one of the old style hotels in Kennebunkport and the dining area was very attractive, spacious and comfortable. The wait staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. As for the meal, I cannot overstate how much I enjoyed it. I had the seafood scampi and I truly think it may have been the best that I have had. There was more than enough shrimp, calamari, and mussels. The sauce was tremendous. I ate to my fill and could not have been more satisfied with it. I would recommend this dish to any seafood lover for sure. I hope to go back and would tell anyone in the Kennebunkport area to add the Burleigh to the top of your dining list. read more

Great live music on a Thursday night. Place is packed with tourists and locals. We sat inside the red gondola and it's the cutest thing ever! Need to mention it was also very warm inside that I had to ask them to turn down the heater! Food is absolutely amazing we ordered the shrimp and lobster roll. All I can say is their lobster roll can probably fill 4 at Luke's if not more. Huge portion!! read more

We have walked by this place for years and tonight decided to stop for dinner. Very warm ambiance near the fireplace. Our food all came out very quickly. We enjoyed the crab dip appetizer and I got the baked haddock. Good flavor and presentation. I wish bread pudding was on the desert menu like I had seen. That was the one let down. read more

My group and I went on a Thursday evening because they were having a special. They offered a beer and a burger for $15. I had Allagash white beer. The burger was two patties, and it was served with a brioche grilled bun. It was absolutely divine. This is a winter special only and they do take reservations. The server was the bartender but she handled it smoothly. It's a small area for seating. Right now they have gondolas out on the patio. You can reserve one. They have a heater inside. Lots of overhanging lights and it's very pretty. read more

Such a fun cute place. Amazing staff and excellent drinks. The vibe is different than what you generally find in the area but in the best way. A new go to for us! read more

We made a reservation for two, which we regrettably had to cancel. Per their website, this changed us $25 each--hefty but stated. However they charged us $100 (I can confirm the reservation was for only 2). We've tried to call multiple times to resolve but are hung up on by their phone system and unable to reach anyone. We'll have to take this up with our credit card company and the BBB. Beware if you have to cancel. They'll charge whatever they want!!! read more

The appetizers calamari and mussels were delicious as was the fish and chips for our main entree. Service was great and atmosphere was great as well as Christmas decorations. read more

The restaurant is in the Kennebunkport Inn. The setting is very nice and lot of outside seating, but no shade cover so not great until dusk as very hot. The wines by the glass are not great quality. For setting should upgrade. Not a big menu. Burger and mussels app very good. Solid clam chowder. Seafood scampi over pasta had great broth, pasta and mussels but shrimp had been frozen and calamari maybe too. Pass on this. read more

Came here on a Thursday night and was relatively crowded - would recommend making a reservation. There was a live band on the deck area where they played for most of the evening. Seating is available on the deck, bar and dining room. Service was slower due to the amount of people in the restaurant but all the employees of the Burleigh were very kind. They checked in from time to time even when the restaurant turned crowded. The fried Brussel sprouts and Caesar salad were delicious - the dressing has hints of spice from the mustard seeds. read more

I was staying in the inn that the restaurant is built on. Food was fantastic and we came here based on a magazine that said that this place served lobster a mac n cheese but unfortunately it was taken off the menu as it was a winter dish. The ambiance is great for dinner as we sat near the fireplace and a door that led to the wooden patio. I ordered a their version of old fashion which had a candied bacon and a Lobster Risotto. My wife ordered a asparagus salad. I must say that the lobster risotto is amazing and definitely a must try if anyone visits this place. My Wife salad was good as she didn't want anything too heavy for the night. Drink was good and strong definitely a try if you're staying here. read more

New Years Eve price fix $95 4 course meal. Booked as a package with our room, was suppose to be included in the prepaid all inclusive package. That ended uo not being the case, got a $325 dining bill, in addition to our room charge Dinner was average at best. The used the back dining room, usually used for the continental breakfast buffet. Very tight quarters. Lobster bisque was the high light of the dining experience, was delicious, after that pretty much down hill. Hangar steak was very fatty, tough. Chocolate cake dry. Winter green salad way to much blue cheese. Martini was good, but took forever to get. After dinner they had a band and champagne toast in the bar area. The bar was way overcrowded, impossible to get a drink. We booked 10am reservations New Years Day for brunch to depart prior to the 11 am check out time. Had to go to the front desk and tell them we were running late as it took forever to get our food. Our server was very professional and courteous, but obviously they were not prepared properly. Just not the experience you would expect and want for New Years :( read more
