We had Salmon, steak, calamari. Food was excellent! Service was top notch. Outdoor seating very comfortable. Beautiful weather!

Most of the food was fine, nothing to write home about. The lobster on the surf and turf was not cooked and the filet was bland. We sat inside the ambiance could be referred to "like eating at a Howard Johnson's" or was loud and dated. Nothing like the outside! Our waitress was awful, no personality what so ever. She never even came back to refill our water glasses. Some of the other wait staff seemed nice. It was a for sure a disappointment from most of the other reviews. Usually yelp reviews are spot on, but not for this place. read more

Again this place was outstanding and worth every 5 stars . The Mediterranean Octopus and Seafood Risotto delicious. The Focaccia bread and end of night espresso near perfect 5 Stars. Brittany our waitress and the Hostess were both exceptional. read more

My 3 kids and I walked here from our hotel room on Thursday night, 8/14. We were very hungry! The hostess told us that we needed reservations, but not for the patio out front. It was beautiful there, so we said ok, "great we will sit out there." She reluctantly gave us a couple of menus. We waited and waited....10 min later no one came to greet us or offer any drinks...nada!!!! I told my kids that we would go to the next place...I walked up to the hostess, who was chatting with a server, and said "what happened? No one came to say hi or acknowledge us!" She snickered and had NO RESPONSE!!!! The waiter asked me where we were sitting so I pointed to outside, and he apologized, but she wouldn't even look at me! She snickered again. I seriously think we were discriminated against because we were a party with 3 kids and were not wearing fancy clothes and shoes! Like what the he.. it's 2025 people, and we had money to spend there!!!!! We went to the pub/brewery next door and had excellent food and drinks! Your loss "The front yard SNOBS" read more

My wife has a severe food allergy to pepper. We were assured by the waiter that the kitchen was informed of the allergy. We were served lamb with red pepper, nearly causing an allergic reaction. The manager was too busy to come out of the kitchen and take responsibility for the health crisis he almost caused. We will not eat here again! read more

This is a gem in Ogunquit! Our dinner was delicious and the patio was enjoyable on a cool evening with their outdoor heaters. Our server was great! The focaccia bread was so good we asked for more. Our favorites were the steak tips, lobster and shrimp alla vodka, and seafood risotto. We were too full for dessert, but the menu was tempting. Check this place out! read more

One of these days we'll eat on the patio or in the dining room or at the indoor bar but in the summer it's all about that outdoor bar and the wonderful service from Miloc, Natalia and crew. And the camaraderie from the locals who always make room to squeeze you in. The drinks are awesome and the small plates we've gotten are tasty. It's a must every time I'm in Ogunquit. read more

Loved this restuarant and its atmosphere. The owner and waitress were all very nice. The restuarant has a open air feel about it. We went there for something light to eat. My husband had the seafood chowder which was absolutely delicious. I had a House Salad with the tart pear vinaigrette that was also delicious. I saw 2 other meals that were being served and they looked and smelled really good too. If Im back in the area I will definitely be coming back here to eat a bigger meal. read more

The Front Yard - Rack of lamb - Mediterranean Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

What a great location to hang with friends or even with a special someone. Located just off the center of town, you can easily access TFY with on site parking and a love bus stop so no excuse. Great atmosphere to hang at the bar, patio and grass seating it available. Plus indoor and great outdoor seating is available. You can't go wrong. Out front you can play lawn games while watching people walk by and stay until the sun sets. Or enjoy a fire by the table and enjoy your friend time. Dinner was awesome and the staff did a great job to make our party feel special. The menu was eclectic and worked for our party. We had great options and enjoyed the outdoor patio seating. read more

This was our first visit to the Fron Yard after seeing it our past few times in Ogunquit, and it was so good, we went back the next night. The food was outstanding and the drinks and bar atmosphere were great. Will visit again our next time in Ogunquit. We're just sorry it took us so long to go here. read more

I wasn't going to leave a review but then I saw Cheryl S's review about leaving after bareky being acknowledged. We were there about a week after she had been there. Sat at a high-top next to the bar. Nothing. Moved over to the bar when two seats opened. Had a couple menus thrown at us in silence. Menu looked boring. No further communication. We just left. Not going back, but they couldn't care less. read more

Beautiful restaurant with excellent Mediterranean cuisine! The bar area has great ambience. The meatballs and flatbread are a must!! read more

They insist on putting your whole order in up front. After drinks, our appetizers came and then our entrees came within 30 seconds. Shame on you! read more

Food and service here is always outstanding. The food menu and bar menu choice's are amazing.

Excellent restaurant! It's beautiful, the food is out of this world good and the waitstaff is top notch. My husband had the seafood risotto and I had the mushroom pasta dish. Both knockouts! read more

We went there twice in our five night stay and loved the seafood pasta, steak tips and tuna appetizer which I had as an entree with a salad. Two young boys that were with us on one visit said it was the best meal they ever had (pasta Alfredo and meatballs). read more

Excellent service for our group of 7. Very nice casual atmosphere and ambiance. Calamari and Brussel sprout appetizers we very good. Steak tips were Delicious. Would certainly recommend and return. read more

Gorgeous ambiance on the beautiful front lawn and consistently good food. We recommend friends and family visiting to stip here for dinner.

Food was all delicious. Kind of annoying that they don't do substitutions. Even sides for sides because they all are $7. Good brussel sprouts. Service was slow. Cute inside and outside. read more

It's a bit expensive for the food. I think people may come for the outdoor ambiance, like the bar and outdoor tables and cornhole. The outside was empty other than 2 tables but they made us eat inside. We only went because of the outdoor seating, so that wasn't a great start. At the end of the meal, our bill was the largest of our trip and we still went somewhere to get second dinner after because some of us had very tiny meals. The food was decent but I wouldn't go back. read more

The main attraction here is the space. Just a beautiful outdoor space and "front yard". The service was very good as well. Our server patiently answered all our questions, was friendly and attentive. Our drinks were all very good, a mix of mock tails, a cocktail and a few local beers. The entire table enjoyed the house bread, which was a nice focaccia. We split a Caesar salad that everyone enjoyed. Our entrees included surf & turf, pesto pasta, kids pasta, hamburgers, and the bouillabaisse. The table didn't enjoy the pasta dishes. The steak was good, but the lobster tail didn't live up to being in Maine. The rest of the table liked their entrees. Despite the high points, the food to value ratio wasn't quite there. We experienced better meals for much less money on our trip. read more

This used to be our favorite restaurant. Imagine our feelings when we took our favorite priest out for a farewell dinner on Friday night. We called and made a reservation for three people at 6 pm on Friday 9/20. It was a cool rainy night. When we arrived, we were immediately seated at a table for four. We had an excellent waitress. We had no more than finished our meal, when a different waitress came and told us that we would have to move outside since we had been at our table for 1-1/2 hours, and they had a large party waited to be seated at three tables pushed together. It was 7:27 pm (not even 1-1/2 hours). We had not been told when we made the reservation, nor were we advised by our original waitress that there was a time limit on our table. It was apparent that we had no choice in the matter. Fortunately our waitress came, apologized, and showed us to another table inside. Many table near us were there when we arrived and were not asked to move. We were given gratuitous desserts, after-dinner drinks, and coffee. This was a generous attempt to satisfy us. No manager or supervisor ever came to apologize. This whole experience left us uncomfortable to return. read more

So disappointed this time... Bugs flying everywhere...little tiny black bugs landing on us and the table all during our time...waiter and hostess said never before tonight...well they were bad. Really bad. Ordered the bouillabaisse and the picture is beautiful...but it was all pasta... it looked beautiful but there were no scallops as the menu said...a barely legal half lobster tail, it was about 4 inches...4 mussels and 2 clams. $42. We are from New England and this was absolutely geared towards the tourists that come here and don't know any better. Being attacked by small black bugs all dinner was quite annoying. We loved this place until tonight. We probably won't be back. read more

Gazpacho shouldn't taste like cocktail sauce. Most overcooked shellfish I have ever had--despite telling the server upfront that we were sensitive to overcooked fish. Overcooked and dry salmon. Mussels were rubbery. So much chili in the seasoning that you could not actually taste the mussels--maybe that was intentional. Though, the pana cotta was quite good, as was the service. read more

Always Delicious. The Best Risotto!!! Actually everything on the menu is phenomenal Also the best Martini

Amazing meal. Great service. Definitely will return. Started with the mussels - delicious! My husband ate the broth at the end with a spoon because he loved it so much. We shared the arugula and pear salad which was simple and delicious. The pear vinaigrette was so light and refreshing. I had a Caprese flatbread for my entree and my husband had the shrimp and lobster with vodka sauce. Our server was attentive and offered suggestions when we had questions. All in all, a great experience. read more

The Front Yard - Mediterranean Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

Went last night for the first time even though we've driven by a hundred times. A mistake to have waited this long. Opened with calamari. Very light, not greasy, comes with peppers that are tasty vs overpowering. Definitely recommend. Had the duck as an entree. Also recommend. Perfectly prepared, fruity, with nice sides to balance. Top notch, friendly service. Perfect location just out of the center of town so easy to park. Was raining so didn't get to eat outside but they have a lovely Front Yard. Will return. Have my eye on the rack of lamb. read more

We drove in from CT. Me and my buddy fish on my boat 3+days a week. We know our seafood, and we get dining out is older seafood than we catch and cook same day. The mussel app had old/spoiled mussels that gave me and my buddy's girlfriend instant temple headache. My buddy who also ate the mussels had his stomach flipping after we left. My $49 Seafood Boulabaise was impressive but the 1/2 lobster tail was soooo old and decayed biting into it sent pure ammonia up my nostrils....disgusting. My vegan girlfriend was the only 1 of the 4 of us unscathed from the SLOPPY, LAZY & ETHICALLY decrepit "chef". It's the "chef''s" show and it was an ABSOLUTE FAIL for human SAFETY eating at The Front Yard.....more like Back Yard Dumpster. $400 tab with great potential, awesome drinks and salads, good service by waiter.....BUT DONNOT ORDER SEAFOOD HERE.....IT'S NOT SAFE FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. DO BETTER "chef".....you gave up on your guests and on yourself. SAFE food is a low bar and you failed. read more

I got the sea food risotto and my husband got carne de la casa. Both were spot on, perfectly cooked and delicious. Service was attentive, knowledgeable and kind. We will be back. read more

Tons of fun, lots of good music, and decent pub food. This is not where you would go for something gourmet, but definitely somewhere you would go for a good time and a fulfilled spirit and tummy. read more

Even though service was a bit slow and prices high it was a fun and friendly place for a family of 8 to enjoy a birthday celebration. It was a milestone birthday, made very obvious by me telling a few weeks ahead to restaurant and the obvious tiara and sash my daughter was wearing , not even a mention was made by any staff Happy Birthday. This may sound silly to some but our family, because we are all over the country only get together once or twice a year so this night was extra special. After speaking to hostess our waiter gave my daughter a free shot and thank you for that. Duke our waiter was great but again slow but that is never fault of waiter. Perhaps a little under staffed. Overall food was good and would recommend to go with lots of time to wait and relax read more

This place is slightly confusing, and I will tell you why. It's referred to as a Mediterranean restaurant but it's definitely not. Our selections were fancy - like duck and two steak entrees over $26 - but the ambience didn't exactly feel like such. I understand that this is COVID and only outdoor dining is available right now, but I still sort of felt like I was at a backyard party once I left the patio where the bar was and walked on the grass to my table. I'm not saying I dressed like I was supposed to be at a fancy restaurant bc I wasn't I was in sweats, but I also think that I must have forecasted this place would be a 3 and didn't deserve my couture upon landing on the Yelp page. The food was really average I have to be honest. Steak tips were good but how could they be bad? black risotto was good but how could it be bad it probably just had a ton of oil and garlic - although we did appreciate how much calamari was involved. Patrick ordered espresso martinis and vodka sauce which I don't recommend for anyone, and the waiter didn't even bat an eyelash. Like maybe just say, dude that's probably not the best combination. I actually love it when waiters do that- it's kind. The wine was average, the drinks were average, the mozzarella and tomatoes = average. The sauce the octopus was in was actually very good but when I was given a piece of the octopus app I only enjoyed the sauce on a piece of potato that accompanied it - I would say slather that sauce on the 'pus too, because it was just simply grilled underneath. Also, I have to say that the LOOK of the focaccia bread excited me, but the taste disappointed me, and I hate when that happens. If I'm biting into a piece of bread after a 5 hour long car ride with future husband *eye roll* I want some damn good bread. This bread LOOKED like it would be good enough that you wouldn't even have to dip it in oil or butter (which wasn't an option anyway since it didn't come with any), but it definitely NEEDED oil or butter. I'm ready to move on to the restaurants in Portland now. read more
