Reviews
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 solid, 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!
The shrimp cocktail and mussels appetizers were very good. The fish was fresh and tasty, and the mussels had a nice chorizo and tomato broth with bread supplied for dipping. The octopus appetizer was very nicely done. The pear arugula salad was huge and delicious. The steak tips had a bit too much spice but otherwise were cooked to perfection, with potatoes and carrots. Nothing special for dessert, so we passed on that.
This is a family friendly place with a large grassy area next to the patio where kids can run around. They can also be somewhat noisy. At times it felt like we were seated next to a playground while eating on the patio.
The food and portion sizes are very good, but the prices are fining dining without the atmosphere. This is a good casual restaurant, but if I’m paying fine dining prices, I’d like a comparable atmosphere. Not sure if we would return.
Ella and Mason have Great Personalities and We were Happy to Have Met Them!! Definitely Returning!!!!!
