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.
We came in half starved late in the day and we were very happy to get some great food. The restaurant was BEAUTIFUL with a big front patio and of course indoor seating as well. Our server was Gracie and she was wonderful throughout our dinner. We got the Pesto Burrata Pasta, Seafood Risotto, and Meatballs and a salad. For drinks, we got the Blueberry Mojito and the Peach Smash.
Gorgeous ambiance on the beautiful front lawn and consistently good food. We recommend friends and family visiting to stip here for dinner.
Food is always delicious. We usually sit at the bushfire bar or inside depending on weather. Bartenders and servers are all very friendly.
One word PHENOMENAL!! We had reservations for another restaurant and while driving to the original restaurant we spotted the Front Yard so we took a chance and went in!! Wow! The restaurant is beautiful, service was great and food exceptional! Looking forward to visiting again when back in Ogunquit! Don't miss out on this one! Try it yourself!
Our family had another engaging, delicious dinner at The Front Yard. We sat on the beautiful porch and had excellent service. We ate delicious Brussel sprouts roasted with soy sauce and sesame oil. Then an excellent arugula salad with lobster, lobster and shrimp on pasta with a creamy tomato sauce, and excellent Australian rack of lamb. Excellent!
Had such a great dinner at The Front Yard yesterday! My parents and I loved sitting out on the beautiful patio and the service was efficient and kind. I ordered the seafood risotto, which was fantastic. My parents both enjoyed their meals, the Australian lamb shanks and the pear salad with salmon. My parents aren't the easiest people to please and they were both very happy! We look forward to coming back next time we're in the area.
We had an enjoyable dinner at The Front Yard. Surprisingly busy for a Sunday night, but it is high season. Be sure you have a reservation. There are a variety of different seating areas, and we had a nice table indoors (thankfully as it has been unusually hot this summer). Our waitress was very pleasant and we were off to a good start with delicious cocktails, and complementary bread service. We were a party of four, and all enjoyed our appetizers and dinners. I had the seafood risotto which was very tasty and had a generous portion of seafood. I also thought fairly priced. If I had to find fault, it was just a tad salty for my taste, but I think this is just me as I seem to be sensitive to saltiness. Pasta dishes and scallops all received positive remarks. Plates were beautifully presented. The restaurant aims for a casual environment, which they achieve but there are a few simple misses on service which detract from the experience. We had silverware cleared, but never replaced and then plates are served with no way to enjoy the food. It took quite a bit of time for silverware to be brought, and food begins to cool. Another course, food was presented but the prior course was not cleared. Again, we were all pleased with our food, service good overall and I think we would return if the opportunity presents when visiting Ogunquit.
We really enjoyed this restaurant. Our waitress was so friendly and attentive. Everything we ate was delicious, my Sangria was probably the best I ever had and kids pasta and meatballs were very yummy. We had a great experience and would definitely come back again!
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.
