Romantic. Simple. Clean…read more Chez Rosa knows exactly what it is--and executes it beautifully. The staff were knowledgeable, gentle, and genuinely kind. The owners lead by example, welcoming every guest with warm smiles and true hospitality. Knowing they prioritize locally sourced ingredients only made us appreciate the experience even more and left us excited to return. The croquettes were light, crispy, and full of flavor. While the fondue wasn't our favorite, it's easy to understand why it graced nearly every table around us. My partner declared the steak frites the best he's ever had--and those fries absolutely lived up to the praise. As for my haddock Wellington, words don't quite do it justice. Crispy yet delicate, light yet deeply flavorful--it was one of those dishes you keep thinking about long after the meal ends. I already can't wait to have it again. Until next time, Chez Rosa.

Supposedly an authentic French restaurant. Not according to my experience. The menu is bizarre…read more There are no standard bistro or brasserie choices. The cheese fondue which we ordered was presented in a tiny Dollar General kind of pot and the presentation of the bread potatoes ?!! Grapes , was slovenly, haphazard. The bread was not crusty as it should be and the melted cheese was lukewarm. It was all in all revolting. The bar service was fine. The guys were pleasant. This is a phoney baloney place with inauthentic Food choices. The menu is so strange,!! Not a good French casual dining experience.

I also thought the inside looked cute, but the weather was great, so we ate outside. The service was friendly. My mom and I shared the lobster stew and the haddock Rueben, and both were fantastic. The stew had lots of lobster chunks. The Rueben was perfectly fried fish, and the bread was toasted with the perfect amount of butter. The clam chowder was tasty, and my dad shared clams from his roll, as there were plenty. For the area, it seemed very competitively priced, especially with the parking and view. I would definitely come back here.

Salmon was perfectly cooked and I highly recommend the lemon aioli with it. Crab cake was phenomenal. Mashed potatoes were soooo creamy and buttery, 10/10.

Not impressed with this restaurant so far, they texted us to come earlier than our reservation time…read more- an hour to be exact.... We ended up waiting an hour in their waiting room anyways... so I don't understand the purpose of telling us to come sooner. I ordered two cocktails while I waited, the first one I returned because the flavor was terrible ... the second one was awful but I drank it anyways since I already sent the first one back. Overall not seeing the appeal to this restaurant so far. Bad first impression. All these hole in the wall spots around Maine have had way better cocktails My review after the prefix menu is ..... what a waste of money .... Mediocre food at best with a $$$$ price point I ate here because my hubby chose the location but wow what a waste of money this was.... Also $68 for 3 small wine tastings is such a waste of money. You can go to Temecula or Paso Robles and get a full 5 tastings for $20 The most expensive dinner on our trip was also the worst dinner on our whole trip

I love that it's a bit out of the way of the downtown area so you can park and relax in a beautiful setting. We started with cocktails and drank them outside while admiring the beautiful property, i highly recommend getting there before your reservation so you can enjoy a drink on a nice day outside! I got the Tideline cocktail and substituted the tequila for mezcal after the bartender suggested it and wow! A great drink and i was impressed how fast the service was. Once we sat down inside we ordered a lovely Gamay for the table, you really can't go wrong with any of the wines on the menu they have a great selection. We ordered quite a few dishes to share between the three of us and the server brought them out in a 3 course style per her suggestion. We started with the citrus and fennel salad and grilled raddichio and these were both so fresh and delicious, we had to leftover vegetables this were exceptional. Then came the asparagus pizza, pork and beef meatballs, and the focaccia as our second course. We almost skipped the focaccia- that would have been a huge mistake. That is a must order, the texture was biscuit like and the seasonal flavored butter was divine. The pizza was really blowing us away with the white sauce and the chili crisp combination. The dough is so light and crispy as well it was wonderful. The meatballs were huge! and came with delicious grilled sourdough. The pasta and lamb shank came out next and at this point we couldn't see how it could get any better but then it did! The lamb shank is huge and cooked so beautifully. The pastas were definitely the standout bites of the course. The carbonara noodles are thick and cooked perfectly and the sauce is so rich a creamy. The Tortelli pasta was my favorite, the pockets stuffed with a gooey filling and the fava beans added a great texture to the dish. We were in carb heaven. We somehow were able to fit dessert in and i'm so glad we did not skip it. We ordered espresso martinis to accompany and this is without a doubt the best espresso martini i have ever had. We substituted tequila and they were completely delicious. I don't remember exactly what the names of the desserts were that we got but one was a a chocolate mousse with a peanut butter sauce and crunchy peanuts which was so yummy. But the favorite of the table was the pistachio one. It was like an ice cream bar with crunchy pistachios on it. Get this one if you go! This was an unforgettable meal from service to food. The staff is incredible and really treat you wonderfully and the food is so good i really didn't expect it to blow me away as much as it did. This is a place i'm going to have to come back to again and again.

The first floor has a big bar, a lounge area around the fireplace, and some tables. The upstairs has a super spacious layout with plenty of seating. Every single thing we have eaten here has been insanely good. The pasta is always layered with unique and delicate flavors, and the pizza is SO good. If you sit at the bar, you can also get some special bar only offerings, like garlic knots made with their pizza dough The cocktail program is amazing and with prices on par with the bars around the area that use cheap liquor and premade mixes, they're a great deal! One of the best old fashioned's I have ever had! Lastly the service is always extremely professional but also warm and friendly. The owner is often around as well and he is always helping out which is super appreciated as a service industry worker. 10/10 all around

After years & years of trips to Kennebunkport this was our worst hotel stay by far…read more.. Staying July 27 - Aug 1st, 2026 (5 nights) Things started badly from the second we approached the front desk. We arrived a little after 3pm on Mon. July 27, 2026 for check in (guest check in is between 3-9). We were told the room wasn't ready, no problem. Decided to grab a drink and wait outside, beautiful weather. Gorgeous area, directly across from the beach. Around 4:15pm we were told the room was ready. Great! We carried our luggage up and were ready to relax/shower before dinner. Walked in and were immediately hit with a VERY strong chemical smell. Sat down and started thinking this doesn't seem right. My eyes and throat started to burn. Seemed like something strong mixed with bleach. We opened the windows and decided it's best to ask the front desk for help. Went back downstairs and spoke with the manager - David. Very kind and tried his best to help with the odor. He informed us that all the rooms are filled, but he could try and air the room out with fans and get rid of the smell. Again no problem, things happen. Head back to the lobby to WAIT. Around 5pm (we still had the keys) my husband -Darren decided to go into the room and check it out. David greeted me as I was sitting on the sofa in the lounge/restaurant around the same time. He told me that the room was ready, he had let the room air out for the last hour. It no longer has the chemical smell, but it does kind of smell like the restaurant. That was strange, but at this point we just wanted to get settled. I got up and walked towards the stairs as Darren was headed back down. He informed me that the bleach and cleaning spray was still beyond strong. My husband is not usually affected by strong scents, and was getting a headache. I did not go back to the room, as I didn't want to get sick. Back to the front desk, told David that it is still very strong and he said that we should have informed them that we had an opposition to strong smells before arrival. I thought that was crazy, I've never had this problem at any hotel up here before. Now he has made us feel like we are being a problem for speaking up about the smell and voicing concerns about getting sick. We asked if we could change rooms for the night and he explained the hotel is fully booked. He would need to talk with the general manager - Bridget. So we sat back down in the lobby. By this time it was 5:15. We moved out to the porch and around 5:30 Bridget met us. She was very kind and understanding. Stated again that the hotel was fully booked, no rooms available and offered to cover a dinner as an apology during our stay. I looked online at some of the sister properties around town, that they market as "connected" with shared amenities and services. We have actually stayed at a couple previously without any issues. I suggested we changed to one of those, because they have availability for the dates of our stay. Now it's 6:15-30 or so. I was told I would have needed to have cancelled my reservations 14 days ago to make that happen, as the systems are not connected. What? We want to stay at Tides, that's why we booked here! Why would we cancel our reservation ahead of time? This chemical situation was out of our control when we arrived. She suggested that we could move into a different room just for the night and then switch back to a room in our category tomorrow. Perfect, that was totally fine. We were still made to feel like we inconvenienced staff for something that was out of our control. Brigette gave us the keys to room #305, we carried our luggage up and settled in at around 7pm (4 hours waiting in lobby to get everything figured out & into a room). The next day, around 12:15 #201 was ready. Checked back in around 3-3:30, took our luggage back up and settled in after our outing. Checking out this morning. Said "Good morning and told the women at the front desk we are checking out. She replied "Good morning, so did you enjoy THAT room?"... We nodded yes, said have a good weekend and left. What a kick in the teeth to end our stay. We both left sad and disappointed with that comment. The staff all knew that we asked to change rooms because of the smell? Service, cleanliness and feeling when in this hotel are way out of wack and terrible. This will be a one and done stay for us at Tides.
