We stopped by Hurricane for a quick lunch and were not disappointed. We were seated at a window table overlooking an inlet and the tourists bustling across the bridge in downtown Kennebunkport. We both had the lobster chowder, which was excellent. Very tasty with chunks of very fresh lobster and potatoes. Will definitely return!

Had a delicious Lobster Roll with delicious potato salad. My husband had chicken and fingerling potatos. Service was so pleasant and efficient, prices were quite reasonable; even though it was a busy night at the restaurant, the waitress was attentive and knowledgable. We had spent more than twice the price the night before in a 'fancy' place in Ogunquit only to be disappointed by the extremely slow service and even some of the food. I'd return to Alisson's ! Arrive early (pre 5 pm dinner hour) for little or no wait.

We were so impressed the first time we went, we went again. The porridge is first class although a pinch of salt would have taken it into the stratosphere! The corned beef hash was to die for although combining that with the porridge turned out to be a fork too far!We all ate well and the service was as good as it gets. We were staying at the Kennebunkport Inn and made the effort to come here. What a great decision.

My Wife and I have dined here a few times.Some of the elegance is gone. I hope for the owner sake it was the chefs night off, Monday, labour day. All of our courses were subpar. Average food, snack shack quality. My dish was the nightly special. It was drowned in a salty overly rich sauce the vegetables were either undercooked or over cooked, no culinary skill brought to the pan. The price was high. Too high for the quality. Our check was similar to our prior evening meal at Ocean, which was a delightful experience.The decor is lacking the ambiance we recalled, the service was diner style.Sorry, no surprise a reservation was easy to get.

A daily, except on Sunday when closed, happy hour is operated that runs for literally for an hour between the hours of 5PM and 6PM. It was a Monday, my watch registered 5PM and we were seated at the bar. $5 snacks and $5 wine are included plus $2 Narragansett lager and $7 Matt's Whim cocktail. When the bartender was questioned what Matt's Whim was this evening, he responded Tom Collins. We took a pass on Matt, Tom and Narragansett in favor of glasses of pinot grigio and sangiovese. Both were enjoyed along with a happy hour order of mussels in a slightly spicy red sauce.

Amazing evening for my husbands 70th-anniversary dinner with another couple. We ordered off the menu, 4 courses and ordered bottles of wines off the menu. The service and food were impeccable. I had the bone marrow appetizer and the lobster main absolutely delicious! Reasonably priced for a magical evening! Highly recommended for a special evening.

This is a gem. The food is creative, fun, well prepared, and only with the very best ingredients. The atmosphere is surprisingly casual for a place with such high quality food, and the prices are entirely reasonable. As good as it gets in Kennebunk.

Walked here to have a quick drink. Ended up staying at the bar and thoroughly enjoying drinks and some food. Also enjoyed watching Sam mixing drinks- amazing, multi-tasking bartender. He made the place great! Also, delicious shishito peppers and burrata salad. Would go back in a heartbeat

We wanted to love this place, we really did. But we werenât impressed with the atmosphere, service or food. Atmosphere was crowded and noisy - person who was seating people was also taking phone calls, and the waiting and seating process was haphazard with three parties (not us) arguing over who should be seated first.Bread was okay - there were just enough small slices for each person (no extra). We ordered salads with dressing on the side - all 4 salads were delivered with dressing. When we reminded the waiter, he indicated that we hadnât requested dressing on the side. In general, we found the waiter to be snippy. Salads tasted fine, but were pricey and nothing special. We ordered 4 sodas without ice - all 4 came with ice. We made the same request again (no ice) when ordering refills, but once again all 3 were delivered with ice. Surprisingly, we were charged for the refills. True vegetarian options (no fish or meat) didnât exist. Pasta was on the menu - when we asked if it could be made with vegetables instead of meatballs, we were told âno.â We ended up going with fish - charred salmon, haddock fillet and haddock fingers. These and most of the sides were just okay. The mashed sweet potatoes were, however, quite good - they were the only item we actually enjoyed. We realize that weâre out of synch with the people who rave about this restaurant and give it great reviews. We wanted to love it - but, in truth, we didnât even like it. Next time weâll try someplace else.

The location on Porpoise Cove is away from the throngs of downtown Kennebunkport. The food, the service the view were all excellent. The clam chowder was delicious, as was the salmon salad. We enjoyed Andrea, our waiter from Serbia. He was very solicitous. It has the same menu as the restaurant downstairs that was much more casual and not as nice. We made the right choice.
