This was the remains of the blueberry pie - A white plate with leftover blueberry pie crumbs and sauce, accompanied by two metal spoons, on a wooden table surface.

This was our 2nd time here and it was just as good as the first. First due to a special diet I need to be very careful about my eating. They were so accommodating with everything. And the up charge was minimal. The server was extremely friendly and very helpful when I was ordering. The blueberry pie was amazing. The atmosphere is rustic but very warm and cozy. It has it own off street parking which is a plus in Ogunquit. As with anywhere in Maine everyone who worked there was so friendly. Just a great place to eat and hang out.

Saved the best for last! Though all our dinners on vacation were amazing. Amazing ambiance, great service and delicious food.

The food here was delicious and the ambiance was great for a romantic dinner with my wife. The lobster Newburgh came in a delicious sauce! My salmon was cooked perfectly! Our service was also great but felt a little rushed. Overall a great place for a romantic dinner!!

Amazing restaurant wow. Service was great, our waiter Benjamin was very timely, kind, and he gave really good suggestions. Cute ambiance, we sat outside and it was very cozy. As for the food. All of us were scraping every last bit of everything. Our table ordered the mussels in white sauce, oysters, stuffed lobster, blackened seafood trio, and scallop linguine. We came in a big group and our whole table went silent while eating. Cannot recommend this place enough

Fish sandwich

What a delicious dinner!! Everything was absolutely perfect. Our waitress was excellent and even with my elderly parents asking ridiculous questions and taking forever to answer her, she was still happy and very kind and understanding. We had a little bit of everything on the menu. My husband had oysters and said they were the best he's ever had. My daughter and father each had mussels one with red sauce and one with white wine sauce. They both practically licked the bowls clean. I had a fried haddock sandwich and it was delicious. Cooked perfectly. Definitely recommend you check out The Maine Catch in Ogunquit!

Came here while we were staying at the Blue Shutters inn last weekend. This was recommended to us by the staff at the inn and it was only a short walk. Very convenient location. We made reservations only a couple hours ahead of time. We were seated upstairs and our server Shannon was amazing- very friendly and nice. We ordered the garden salad which was actually quite a decent portion and nice. I ordered the grilled salmon and the hubs ordered the lobster Mac and cheese. When they brought the entrees- mine was incorrect - was a scallops dish instead of salmon. We told the server and she corrected the order. I ate the salad meanwhile and then the salmon arrived. It came with rice and a side of their kale vegetable medley which was nice. The salmon was tender although there were parts of it that were blackened almost burnt. Hubs liked the Mac n cheese - quite a large portion so he had leftovers. The restaurant seems popular as it was fairly crowded and the ambiance was cozy. Seemed like people sitting at the bar too. Overall good food and great service!

The Maine Catch has so much potential. The food was terrific -- everything we ate was delicious -- but the service (or lack thereof) left a lot to be desired. Thankfully, we went to The Maine Catch on Saturday with reservations, as they were packed. The restaurant is beautiful and has plenty of parking; it's between Perkins Cove and Ogunquit's Main Street, nestled amidst countless of trees. They have outdoor and indoor seating. From the moment we walked inside and told the hostess we had a reservation, we were met with a cold vibe, very unlike Maine and Ogunquit ( and something you wouldn't expect at a restaurant of this caliber). Our waitress's service was no better. She seemed checked out, and everything felt very transactional. The food made its way to us quickly--sometimes too quickly, as in the case of the crispy calamari starter--which led to a few misses, like having the food arrive before our drinks. Our waitress just seemed to not care. She'd talk to us in passing and do the bare minimum. It was one of the worst services we've seen at a Maine restaurant. The one thing that saved The Maine Catch, and the reason they're still getting 4-stars, is the food. Our crispy calamari was perfect; not too much breading or super greasy, as is usually the case. The accompanying sauce had a nice kick to it. My partner's lobster mac and cheese was the best we've ever had, and the portion was generous. My blackened salmon, with rice and veggies, was also a 10/10 and probably one of the best salmons I've eaten. The rice was cooked to perfection. Would we come back to The Maine Catch? Yes, the food was good enough to keep us coming back, but I do hope they improve their service.

The cocktails and food are delicious. The towers are great if you have a large table party. The restaurant has nice outdoor seating and a more rustic indoor seating. Our server was ok. He didn't seem patient with 4 kids orders and he didn't take an order correctly. They remedied this by giving us free dessert. The blueberry pie was more like a jelly inside and wasn't really fruity.

This is the Scallops with roasted potatoes in a  corn and bacon cream sauce.

This place was next door to the hotel we were staying at and decided to try it after reading some reviews, we entered into the restaurant to find a very Rustic but charming/romantic coastal place. We were met by a friendly host who promptly seated us. Within 3 minutes our waiter came by with water for us and took our drink orders and made some Recommendations on appetizers. We went with the raw oysters and clam chowder. Within 5-6 minutes the waiter brought our adult drinks and the appetizers and then took our meal order, my wife ordered the Roasted beet salad with goat cheese and I ordered the Scallops with the roasted potatoes, with corn and bacon cream sauce. Both of these we highly enjoyed and recommend, Our waiter was always on point with checking on us and keeping our water topped off. We highly recommend this place.

Blackened seafood trio

Each one of the meals was fantastic and full of flavor. The location is very cute and unique. A very close walkable distance to Perkins Cove if you'd like to go there after dinner. The host and Weight staff were all extremely friendly. We had the halibut and the clams linguine and the blackened seafood trio. As well as a blueberry pie with ice cream for dessert. Overall, a great birthday dinner was had and we will definitely be back.

Oh my gosh this place was ahmazing!!!!!! Had been driving all day with nothing delicious to eat for the day other than tourist fast food. Called to see their hours and they said they closed in 35 min. I hated to be the last table but was really in a bind for good food and new to the area and being from the west coast (time change) I was starving. They were really so kind to us and everything tasted delicious. We were quick to order to help them out. Our drinks were delicious and when I say our food was delicious. I'm not exaggerating. Everything tasted great and that stuffed lobster with bacon, scallops shrimp. Omg!!!! It was like heaven in my mouth. Thank you for the delicious meal and not being short with hungry travelers coming in late in the day.

Quaint outside of The Maine Place
Latha P.

Quick friendly service , very intimate cute indoor and outdoor seating , easy parking or walkable from many little inns and resorts on Shore road with delicicous food sums up The Maine Catch The blackened Salmon and Pan seared Halibut were our picks for dinner and did we not live it . Delicately flavored the fish spoke for itself ! It was cooked perfectly a gentle nudge and fit would break away. The side of rice , kale with veggies and broccoli rabe plus parsnip purée was everything that was needed to complete our meal. We were completely sold on the fish that I missed mentioning the plain Jane fried calamari appetizer though the pepper relish on the side was a bomb This is a sea food lovers paradise . Don't miss it if you are in Ogunquit.

Mac and cheese - Macaroni and cheese served in a small cast iron skillet, topped with a golden breadcrumb crust.
Matthew W.

Very good seafood and land food in ogunquit! It's a little down the road towards Perkins cove and can be walked to. The service is good and nice atmosphere. Skillet Mac and cheese is fire and lobster scampi is great too. Salmon is also good. On our list for vacation every year!

Only Brazillian steakhouse in Maine. Saw article they had Thanksgiving so it reminded me to check…read moreit out. We went the day after Thanksgiving. It was not super busy but the meats still came in a timely manner we never felt we were waiting a long time. They first bring you Brazilian cheese bread and these yummy beef patties. The sides were yummy my fave were the beans and rice- the beans were so flavorful with large chunks of meat and the Polenta "fries". I'm a grits lover so loved those. Salads were nice too. You just have to save room for all of the yummy meats. We told them we like rare and they could definitely accommodate. Definitely get the tomato vinaigrette side its yummy with the beef patty and meats. Save room at the end when they bring this special Brazilian cheese drizzled with honey and the grilled pineapple with cinnamon. There is a parking lot behind the restaurant across from police/fire station. Off season its free. They are open year round but I think starting in January they may have a few closed days. You can get reservations on yelp. Also maybe in off season they have a Wednesday $39 special. They had some yummy looking cocktails and also serve some famous Brazilian soda.

She would not eat adult food and nothing was offered for children. No chicken nuggets no plain pasta. Nothing she got a chocolate milk. The rest of the dinner was great. My only request would be to get some other appetizers. I know it's a Brazilian restaurant, but not everybody eats polenta, yuca, or fried plantain , brazillion beans, feijoada or anything to that effect. I think they should have a few other American things on there besides broccoli and asparagus, carrots would be nice, maybe some stuffed mushrooms., street corn. The honey cheese we tried we tried the honey cheese was not that great. I do have to say probably the best thing is the pineapple.. there should be other options for salads. We have been to Brazilian restaurants down in Cape Cod with huge buffet salad bars with cheese all kinds of other options. Besides, just meet on a spit., it was mac & cheese. There was all kinds of different salads and fruits. I think if you added more of these things or had an area where you could set up some of these things and people could help themselves I think you would have a lot more people in this restaurant. Debby I think you need to mix it up a little bit and add a bunch of different sides Thank you

We had dinner here this week, and it was outstanding. I…read morecalled and made a reservation a couple of weeks ahead of our visit (we were there on a Monday night, and in the restaurant area it was pretty quiet - just us and one other table). First things first - parking is super easy, it's a free valet service (not obvious at first, as there is parking behind the restaurant, but you're greeted right away when you pull in). We walked through the bar area, over to the restaurant area (surprisingly the bar was quite full), and were able to choose a table by one of the two fireplaces. On the restaurant side, it feels very cozy, and homey, exactly where you want to spend a cold night, inside eating dinner. Our server was lovely, greeted us right away and provided menus. I started with a cosmo (they had flavored versions like strawberry, but I elected to go for the classic). For an appetizer, we started with the bacon wrapped scallops - the bacon was maple glazed, and wonderfully crispy, with the scallops cooked perfectly, and some micro-greens scattered on the plate - delicious. For entrees, my mom had the baked seafood stuffed haddock which came with a lobster sherry cream sauce, a massive pile of perfectly cooked green beans, and mashed potatoes (yum). I went with the duck special, which was absolutely delightful. It came with Brussels sprouts, and I subbed out the au gratin (I very strongly dislike sweet potatoes), for mashed potatoes. It was delicious. We were so full, we opted for dessert to go (chocolate cake), which was generously portioned, and decadently delicious. We really enjoyed the meal - this was a wonderful dinner to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday!

We started with scallops wrapped in bacon and their bread service. The butter was sweetened and the bread was great. The scallops with bacon were excellent. My husband enjoyed a few vodka with cranberry and he wasn't disappointed. He chose the crab stuffed shrimp and sincerely loved it. The rice and green beans were great but he was full from the shrimp. I chose the filet with a lobster tail, fingerling potatoes and asparagus. Everything was simply superb. Dress was casual and the place was clean. Not thinking they are accessible though as there were steps going in the two doors we used.

Started with apps, my octopus was very tender and delicious albeit a tad pricey for the portion $26. The mushroom pasta I found a tad bland. For the price of $31 it was a smidge disappointing. The item that will make me come back was their lemon cream cake. I could have had the app and the cake and been a happy girl. This place charges fine dining prices for a very casual atmosphere. My friend got the duck- she wasn't asked how to have it cooked. It came out well- not for me but she was fine with it. She enjoyed the apps (escargot) and the lemon blueberry crème brûlée- it had great flavor but it was coddled. I saw the texture was not silky smooth.

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!
