This is the best meal we had while staying in Maine (we stayed at Cliff House and ate at the tiller for dinner and breakfast and were sorely disappointed). We came for dinner--every single item was awesome. The short rib, Mac and cheese and cornbread were esp amazing. Not pictured that we also enjoyed: the beet salad and desserts of cheesecake and chocolate torte. Also very reasonably priced and great service. Would come back hands down. read more

2nd time here Staff VERY accommodating! Perfect Manhattan and Cherry Bounce Crooked Burger is perfection. not shown is the Chickpea and Mushroom soup which hits more like a chowder. PACKED with immense flavor and for these winter days, connects the soul to the body!! We came here late in the season and everything was top notch. Just as it was in-season. Your choices will be perfected here. Staff agreeable and kind. Gentle quiet space for one but also perfect for a foursome. We'll make it a consistent stop whatever time of year we visit! read more

The Crooked Pine - Crooked Burger House Potato Chips Beet and Carrot Salad - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

In a town with endless options, it's hard to find a place that feels authentic and stands up to the rest. For us, Crooked Pine has become an absolute favorite in Ogunquit! We came for dinner on our anniversary in September, and had an amazing time. Their service is top-notch, and they have a very creative menu. There are not many vegetarian options in Ogunquit (let's be real.... it's all seafood), so I was super pumped to see that Crooked Pine had a few! The food was outstanding, and the dessert stole the show (make sure to get some!). You'll definitely want to make a reservation - I saw many people being turned away at the door or having to wait quite a while to sit down. I am already looking forward to coming back on our next trip! Thanks for an amazing anniversary dinner! read more

Fun little bar area. Friendly bartender. Excellent service. Interesting take on a simple fish sandwich that was not what we are used to. Good flavor but call us pedestrian as I just love a huge chunk of fish with lettuce tomato and tartar sauce. Will go back for other items for sure. Beautiful old building. read more

Delicious! The restaurant was decorated very well. We could hear our friends since it wasnt too loud. We ordered the mussels, beet salad, and wings to start. I will think about the mussel dish for months after this. It had this creamy mushroom sauce and my only regret was not asking for more bread or ordering another one to enjoy. The beet salad was also delicious. It had this spicy and creamy sauce. Wings were smokey and flavorful. My husband had the halibut with this Delicious lemon and caper sauce. I ordered the stuff cod and that was also tasty, just needed a lemon to cut some of the richness. Overall we had an amazing experience and highly recommend the mussels! read more

Came to the Crooked Pine for dinner one Thursday night and I had the bar to myself. I was dining solo and just wanted to grab something small, wanted to bounce around the town and check out as many places as I could. The bartender was awesome, she was super laid back letting me do my thing but later on we started chatting about the town and she gave me some cool recommendations of where to spend the rest of the night. I was drinking water and she didn't give me a look for not drinking, like some bartenders do, which was really appreciated. I got a salad and added some grilled chicken. I could not believe the chicken portion, it was huge! It was a quick in and out stay and onto the next place but it seemed like a neighborhood spot, like where they had a lot of regulars. I don't know that was just the vibe I got, in a a good way. read more

We had a great dinner experience at The Crooked Pine, but we expected it to be better based on other reviews. We went on a Saturday evening in July--peak tourist season--and thank God we had a reservation because both Ogunquit and the restaurant were packed to the max. Also, they do not have parking, so I recommend you give yourself 10-15 minutes to find parking, especially during the summer. Let's start with the good stuff: the service was excellent. The staff, both the hosts and wait staff, were excellent; friendly and prompt throughout the night. The restaurant itself is beautiful. They have a patio area (prime stuff for people watching, which we unfortunately did not get), indoor space, and a separate bar area. The indoor space felt like a cozy home (although they do pack quite a few tables in the space!). The drinks were also delicious. They had an extensive cocktail menu and plenty of spirits. The 14 Sheets cocktail was terrific, and the Paddington was also excellent. Both drinks were strong and well-balanced. The food ended up being more of a meh experience for us. We started with the Mac & Cheese ($14, from their appetizers list), and it was okay, but we definitely have had better. It could've used more cheese and spices to elevate the flavors. My husband ordered a burger, and I ordered the halibut piccata, and both were subpar. The burger's consistency didn't match the medium-rare temp we asked for, and my husband's theory is that it was a previously frozen patty. He opted for a side of tortellini salad (they offer a few fun sides for burgers), and honestly, that was the best part of the meal. My halibut piccata was disappointing for multiple reasons. First, the food-to-price ratio: they gave me so little pasta that I had to slow down to not finish everything in 5 minutes. Then, the halibut was incredibly dry. All in all, it was not worth the $30+. I recently had chicken piccata at another restaurant; sadly, this was laughable compared to my other experience. All in all, it was an okay experience. Maybe it was just a hectic night that led to a subpar experience. read more

Tasty drinks and food! The Duck Wing app was excellent and actually went really well with the roasted carrot app! Service was attentive and not "checking in" so really good. The bar is a good place to hang with some of the locals and also get a really good meal. The tables along the "porch" are a great people watching spot to enjoy your meal as well. The location is great right on Shore Rd near the beach and all the good spots to enjoy a night out in downtown Ogunquit. read more

Fantastic meal for the second year in a row of coming here! Perfectly cooked steak for a reasonable price, great service and always cozy

One of the best Caesar salads I've had a long time! Everything was fresh and the chicken was cooked perfectly. We also got their cornbread and it was to die for! Definitely worth the stop with great pricing as well. The atmosphere is very cozy. read more

This cozy and nicely decorated restaurant offers a warm and inviting atmosphere. The servers are incredibly friendly and helpful, making sure our dining experience was top-notch.

This is the best restaurant. It has a cozy atmosphere wonderful servers and an excellent menu. We have the carrots with hot honey and ricotta.

It's been a while since I had dinner at crooked pine, but with our visit last night, it's back to my number one spot for amazing restaurants in Ogunquit. Duke was our server and he was excellent and attentive. Our dinner was perfect, we had the fiddleheads and miso mushrooms for apps and the swordfish and gnocchi for dinner. We had a beautiful and private table overlooking main st. And felt welcome and cozy. Drink list was thoughtful as were the wines. We finished with the pistachio creme brulee which has a perfect sugar crust. We can't wait to return!! read more

The Crooked Pine resides in a remodeled Ogunquit landmark. The atmosphere is as charming and as intimate as its cuisine. The carefully curated menu boasts European inspiration with New England charm. The bartender chilled the sleek glassware with ice and my martini was shaken fast. It was served ice cold with some ice remnants in the drink. While dining here, I learned that this spot shares the same owner as Brix + Brine. The bar was cozy with 8 seats. The olives were firm, salty, and jumbo. The fare was fresh and delicious. The lemon-tarragon mayo that dressed my lobster roll was balanced and delicious. read more

Great find in the busiest part of town. We tried 2 apps (mushrooms and shrimp cocktail) and both were great. Entrees included chicken Milanese and halibut piccata. Both were fresh, flavorful and just perfect. Cozy atmosphere, good service, reasonable prices and great quality - what more can you ask for. Don't miss this place. read more

Wow! Amazing service, ambiance, food and drinks. Love the vibe and also- corn chowder, Hulu Wings, Beet salad and much more!!! The drinks were great our service was amazing. Please don't miss if you're in Ogunquit! read more

This was our second visit to The Crooked Pine. First time was indoor dining which we swore we'd never do again because the dining room is in desperate need of a makeover... dare I say an extremely unattractive room. So, this time on a chilly night we opted for outdoor dining. The atmosphere was great, and the fire pit did its job in keeping us warm. That's where it ends. To be clear the food like the first time was quite good but service was an issue. First of all, when our cocktails arrived the server sloppily placed them down spilling alcohol on the table rendering the table and outside of the glasses wet. A bourbon & vodka mess. We wiped the table dry with one of our menus. A cocktail napkin which never happened could have helped. Then while we were still enjoying our appetizers a different server brought us our entrees. That should never happen. Suddenly there are too many plates on the table, so we quickly finished up the first course to make room for the second. And our second course which were both pasta dishes were barely even warm. Not at all hot which made them very unappealing to eat. Almost as if they were fired up too soon and were sitting around or quite possibly, they were made in advance. Either way unacceptable which was unfortunate because they were actually quite good. Service is everything and this experience was lacking in that department along with lukewarm food. read more

It was fairly busy when we arrived and although we didn't have a reservation we were able to be seated right away upstairs. The service was good and the location is easy to get to and cute. The view from upstairs is nice and fun to people watch. I found the food to be pretty average. I had a burger and my husband had the grilled salmon. Both were fine but nothing memorable or worth going back for. read more

Very disappointed in food quality, portion and preparation. We had the halibut and swordfish. The halibut was overcooked and dry and had to be sent back. Replacement was 1/2 size of original order. Spaghetti was overcooked as well, not al dente, portion also small. Swordfish portion was thin and small and not worth the price. Overall disappointed what we paid for both meals. read more

Very sweet restaurant in an old house in the Main Street of town. Excellent menu choices....I had the stuffed cod which was good. Service good, and lots of wine and cocktail choices. read more

Wonderful night! Started with the hostess, Phoebe (?) who accommodated us when the initial table was not acceptable. We ended up at a primo table on the porch with windows overlooking the street (great people watching!) Started with the mussels appetizer. Delish! Portion was huge, sauce was delicious and the mussels were sweet and petite. Zach was our waiter. Very attentive and knowledgeable. We had the chicken Milanese and shellfish risotto for entrees. Both were fabulous. We finished with a scrumptious chocolate torte. Melt in your mouth. Overall, a terrific experience. Looking forward to a return visit. read more

Ok dinner experience. We went on a Friday night in October. There were people everywhere and our server said it was busier than a summer night. Fortunately we had a reservation and were seated right away. Our table was on the porch which was ok. But we were next to the door and it slammed shut every time someone went in or out. There was a curtain to block us but people waiting to get in would bump into us. I think the table is an ok option for a walk in but not when you have a reservation. I ordered the beet salad and French onion soup for my meal. Salad was good. Soup was ok but way too pricey for what it was. My bf had the pork tenderloin. It looked great and he said it was tasty. But the portion was very small. The description said it came with brussel sprouts, but it was literally one sprout cut in half. A salad or appetizer would be needed but it took a while to get our drinks and food so he did not want to order anything else. Unfortunately he left dinner still hungry. I wanted to like it more but we will probably not go back. read more

Never again. I ordered a Caesar salad with salmon. It was a small caesar salad, it was missing the Parmesan cheese, and the salmon was tiny, a child's portion and all that for 38 dollars. Instead, go to the Front Yard restaurant, great experience. Or Angelinas, both have great food and plenty of it. read more

Absolutely LOVED this place during our stay in Ogunquit and came here a couple nights for dinner! The ambiance was wonderful, especially upstairs, and the music was great. They provide blankets to guests if you get cold. Loved the cocktails, try the 14 Sheets. I tried a variety of the appetizers including the mussels (my favorite!), miso mushrooms, the carrots in ricotta, and corn chowder! The cornbread ran out both nights, which I was looking forward to trying. For the main course, the chicken milanese was delicious! Really looking forward to coming back here again during my next trip. I would recommend reservations, especially on a weekend, but was grateful they were able to squeeze us in as walk ins! read more

The coziest place to have dinner! We sat upstairs at the bar with Caitlin as our bartender and server. The music was Christmas jazz and Caitlin made us the BEST drinks and offered up some incredible recs for food. We started with the Brie Toast, which is an absolute must - bacon onion jam, Brie fondue, and toasted walnuts on the best baguette. We also had the roasted oysters, at Caitlin's suggestion, and they were perfection! For my entree I had the Sausage Gemelli and my husband had the Gnocchi di Carne - both felt like a warm hug during this cold season. The sauces were so good that we got bread on the side to soak them up! Can't wait to go back! read more

Check hours on their website. Hours are not correct on yelp. I believe they are open every day for dinner in the summer. I enjoyed my meal and it was my first time here. My only criticism is the halibut piccata needed more sauce. The pasta was a bit dry even though it had a good flavor. I would definitely come back and try other dishes. read more

Great bar and service, the wagyu burger was one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Worth a visit.

This was a last minute pick as &we were driving from NW Mass up the Maine coast & didn't want to deal with downtown Portland. So happy we stopped here on a whim. Still busy for October, reservation recommended, but such a pleasant surprise. The mushroom soup & Caesar salad to start were the best we've had. Excellent. I had a superb stuffed shrimp. Spouse had the chicken milenese. We both loved our entrees. We are in Maine often and are definitely adding this to the list. Thanks for having us. Such a warm, inviting place! read more

Super cool vibe, YUMAZING food, great service. So good that I went back 3 times. 1 with an insanely picky New Yorker friend who is impossible to please and the only friend I have who sends food back - to my cringe worthy horror! BUT, he was THRILLED! So THAT is essentially the best review a restaurant can hope for - pleasing a picky A$$ New Yorker!! Ha!! DEFINITELY GOING BACK!! read more

If you're looking for a phenomenal dinner spot in Ogunquit, you have to check out The Crooked Pine. The menu is on the smaller side. However, the quality is unmatched. They incorporate local and in-season ingredients in their dishes. It's what I would consider farm-to-table. They have a solid selection of appetizers. You'll see dishes like Blue Fin Tuna Poke, Crab Cakes, Cola-Brined Chicken Wings, Prosciutto with Burrata, Chilled Shrimp Cocktail, Roasted Carrots and Parsnips, and French Fries with gravy. If you're looking for something on the lighter side, they do offer a small selection of soup and salad. You'll find Leek+Parsnip Soup, Seafood Chowder, Caesar Salad, Garden Salad, and a unique Grapefruit + Avocado Salad. If you're looking for a solid handheld/sandwich, they have a small selection. You'll find Maine lobster rolls, short rib grilled cheese, Fried Cod Rachel, Italian Sloppy Joe, and Croque Monsieur. Handhelds are served with coleslaw, sea salt chips, dressed greens, or broccoli salad. If you're in the mood for a burger, they do have three unique options. Classic, Mushroom and Swiss, and Crooked. The burgers are 8-ounces and are served with your choice of side. The entree section of the menu is phenomenal. They offer dishes like short rib bourguignons, cod+chips, creamy mushroom rigatoni, gnocchi di carne, seafood-stuffed shrimp, seafood-stuffed cod, and buttermilk fried chicken. We decided to enjoy the cool fall night and ate on the patio. Our server was incredibly attentive and always on top of things. I ordered the Cola-Brined Chicken Wings. They're tossed with sesame gochujang, scallion, and cilantro. The wings were perfectly cooked and juicy. The sauce the wings were tossed in is incredibly flavorful. It does have a bit of heat to it, so I wouldn't suggest it for those adverse to spicy food. My guest ordered the Crab Cakes. They were cooked perfectly, not overcooked and not overly greasy like most places. The crab cakes are made with lump crab, dressed greens, and a beet remoulade. If you're a fan of fine wine and craft beer, they have one of the largest drink menus I have ever encountered. The drink menu online is over 120 pages long! I would highly suggest the Crooked Pine to anyone visiting the Ogunquit, Maine area. The food was top-notch and I loved the incorporation of local and artisan ingredients. Service was phenomenal as well. I look forward to returning very soon! read more

The crooked Pine remains a top spot for us. We tried a new salad- Kale Caesar- which was a delight. Also, they have a novel preparation for their fish- a Piccata version of Halibut. Delicious, and served piping hot. Service was, however, slow. We'll still be back. read more

Ate dinner here on a Saturday night. We enjoyed the ambience and our server was very friendly and helpful. However, I felt the portions were extremely small and the price is very high for what we received. Four dollar up charge to substitute roasted potatoes for pasta.
