The Front Yard - Ogunquit

We were a party of five that went here pre-show. Our server was very nice and worked with my son, who has a dairy allergy, to get him a dish he could enjoy. The brussel sprouts were very good. The food was all well prepared and had a nice amount of flavor. Nothing on the dessert menu caught our fancy, so we went to an ice cream stand down the road. We would definitely visit this restaurant again when we are in the area.

The food was the best we had in the area. Our waiter, however was rude, didn 't tell us about specials, didn 't refill drinks (we had to ask for refills), didn 't offer a dessert menu and generally seemed annoyed to do his job. I asked for recommendations between 2 dishes I was torn between and he said order what you 're in the mood to eat I guess. However, the young lady waiting on the group of tables behind us was 100% better. She was personable, went over the menu and specials with her tables and always offered recommendations when asked. Wish we 'd had her instead of Grumpy. However, the food was impeccable. I had the seafood risotto and my friend had a garlic shrimp linguine. We were both very satisfied with the food.

The restaurant is beautiful, service was great and food was exceptional. It's nice that they offer free parking.

Food was good but not exciting. Pretty pricy for what you’re getting. The cocktails are the most exciting part. Sitting inside is boring the outside area looks much more appealing.

Why only 2 stars? This was our second visit, and while the food was excellent, the service was satisfactory, and the atmosphere was lovely, we had a disappointing experience. After 85 minutes at our table, we were asked to leave because they needed it for the next group. We were literally just 3 minutes away from signing the check. It was our server who delivered this message, not a manager, and they didn't even offer to let us have a drink at the bar. What started as a wonderful evening quickly turned into a feeling of being disrespected. With this negative experience in mind, I’m not sure we’ll return.
