    No lie, I'm not one to order the same dish over and over again, but I am going back to The Front Yard just to have the mushroom truffle pasta once more. We love Ogunquit, but it can be a tricky spot for dinners. I guess that's the price of being a postcard-perfect coastal town in Maine? So when we find a place like The Front Yard, you'll hear us raving about it for a while. We made reservations based on other reviews, and since we were doing an Ogunquit staycation, it just made sense. So glad I listened to those five-star reviewers; we absolutely loved it. We were lucky to grab a patio table (not gonna lie, I don't know if I would've loved it quite as much without the al fresco vibe), and it was the perfect summer (spring?) dinner. We ordered a bottle of Riesling -- they have an extensive wine list, with some affordable options -- and it paired perfectly with our meal. For apps, we went with the burrata and squash dish and the fried calamari. Both were good, though the burrata could've used a bit more flavor. Definitely not the best I've had, but the entrées more than made up for it. My husband's pesto pistachio pasta, topped with burrata, was excellent, and like I said... I'm still dreaming about my mushroom pasta. Our server was super attentive, even though the place was a little busy. We really appreciated that. And PSA: don't even try to go on the weekend during peak months without a reservation. We saw folks getting turned away left and right!

    Love it! Must stop! Outdoor seating is fabulous! Service is pleasant and knowledgeable about the menu and options! Food is flavorful and well prepared. Have visited twice and have not been disappointed! The patio is covered with a great view of the "front yard" - corn hole and full bar available! The seafood pasta vodka is a must!

    We came in half starved late in the day and we were very happy to get some great food. The restaurant was BEAUTIFUL with a big front patio and of course indoor seating as well. Our server was Gracie and she was wonderful throughout our dinner. We got the Pesto Burrata Pasta, Seafood Risotto, and Meatballs and a salad. For drinks, we got the Blueberry Mojito and the Peach Smash.

    Refreshing!!!

    The Front Yard outside bar is Outstanding!!! It is beautifully designed and very comfortable. Mason was our Bartender!! He was a Great Conversationalist and created a Birthday Cocktail for us that was Sooo Delicious ! Ella was also helping to make our celebration memorable!! The drink had strawberries , blueberries , andTitos Vodka....My favorites!! It was a Perfect Evening out to Remember in Ogunquit, Maine!

    We were in town on vacation. Having a 21 month old makes it very difficult to find a place to eat, especially a place that is nice. We finally decided to make last minute reservations and I am so glad we did! The food was absolutely delicious. I got the SASSY TRUFFLE MUSHROOM PASTA. It had a little spiciness to it, not too much truffle and just the right amount of flavor. I read reviews stating it was flavorless, it definitely was not! My husband had the SEAFOOD RISOTTO ALLA MILANESE and said it was his best meal in Ogunquit. My son loved the kids pizza, he ate almost all of it, which is unusual for him. I did get one of their special mixed drinks, it was a little too sweet for me. If you don't like sweet drinks, stick to wine or beer. We ate outside on the de k which is covered so you won't get rained on. The place is casual, but not fast food or bar casual. Best of all they have on site parking! I wish I had tried them sooner in our trip, I wouldn't have hesitated on going back a second time.

    Seafood Risotto. Plenty of seafood including lobster

    We had an enjoyable dinner at The Front Yard. Surprisingly busy for a Sunday night, but it is high season. Be sure you have a reservation. There are a variety of different seating areas, and we had a nice table indoors (thankfully as it has been unusually hot this summer). Our waitress was very pleasant and we were off to a good start with delicious cocktails, and complementary bread service. We were a party of four, and all enjoyed our appetizers and dinners. I had the seafood risotto which was very tasty and had a generous portion of seafood. I also thought fairly priced. If I had to find fault, it was just a tad salty for my taste, but I think this is just me as I seem to be sensitive to saltiness. Pasta dishes and scallops all received positive remarks. Plates were beautifully presented. The restaurant aims for a casual environment, which they achieve but there are a few simple misses on service which detract from the experience. We had silverware cleared, but never replaced and then plates are served with no way to enjoy the food. It took quite a bit of time for silverware to be brought, and food begins to cool. Another course, food was presented but the prior course was not cleared. Again, we were all pleased with our food, service good overall and I think we would return if the opportunity presents when visiting Ogunquit.

    Pistachio pasta with burrata

    I ordered the Duck Margaret and Pistachio pasta with burrata. I loved the farro that came with the duck it was delicious!! I think it was my favorite part. I'd ordered that again if it was a side. The duck was cooked nicely and tasted fine, nothing special. The pistachio pasta smelled really good, but I didn't feel the taste was anywhere near as good. I added salt and it still needed something. It was very busy inside and outside. The hostess was very nice and said it would be a half hour and it was about that. I had no problem waiting inside.

    The food was good, but the service was horrible. 2 salads a hamburger steak tips and 2 drinks and a $157 later all I can say is good luck.

    We had the pleasure of dining at Angelina's on a Tuesday night in June. From the moment we walked…read morein, we were greeted like family. Our waiter was Corey and bus person was a young woman named Purnell. Both were proficient, friendly, and attentive throughout our entire meal. My wife had the lobster ravioli that was done in a light tomato, basil, cream sauce. It was delicious! I had the fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken and broccoli. The pasta was cooked to perfection and a symphony of flavors accompanied every bite. For dessert we've shared the coconut gelato topped with hot fudge. Everything was perfect, including the price. We look forward to returning soon.

Service was friendly and attentive (multiple people offered us Parmesan and pepper). Food was just good, not great. For apps we got the mushrooms stuffed with crab meat (Dad said it was good but filling) and I had the bruschetta "classic" board which was 5 big pieces - an app to share for sure. Tasted good but it was like the Parmesan wasn't salted (maybe it was really Romano?!?) so it lacked something. For entrees Dad got the Scalapini Angelini with veal which he said was good. I got the homemade cacio e pepe which was just okay. The dish was unsalted (including the pasta which didn't seem to be cooked in salted water) but I asked for some salt and that helped a lot. Without it there just wasn't much flavor to it. The place was hopping and is clearly popular. My dad has enjoyed it in the past, it was my first time.

Gosh, you just hope you made a memorable choice for the right reasons. We did - we both felt we not only received value for our dining dollars, we felt cared for by the staff and satiated by the kitchen. People like sitting outside - so the reservations reflected that and we could only be seated inside. Was not a disappointment to be seated inside. I highly recommend this restaurant. I had a steak sandwich and my dining partner had a chicken sandwich. Both were really tasty and well prepared. We only had water to drink and that was not a problem. I feel many times if I don't order an app or a drink a server becomes less friendly. That wasn't our experience here. I don't believe in over rewarding a place - but I feel a 4.5 out of 5 is appropriate. Since I can't give that - I rounded up to 5.

With steps at the entrance there is a ramp at the back of the restaurant for people with mobility issues. They were very nice and accommodating in helping with the entrance but it is a steep ramp actually easier to use in a wheelchair than a walker. The service was professional and friendly. The coconut corn chowder was fabulous as was the mushroom ragout. Definitely worth a visit!
