Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in York Beach

Absolutely amazing. Great service, lovely atmosphere and delicious food. A memorable dining experience.

Wonderful food and an amazing view of the ocean. Unfortunately, our server Lisa, was not very friendly and we felt very rushed by her even though the restaurant was just half full. 

My family and I (6 in all) enjoyed an excellent dinner last night. We were celebrating my granddaughter's 21st, and they graciously provided a celebratory glass of Prosecco, and made a point of coming over to add his congradulations. Nothing but praise for the entire experience. That being said, one word of caution...parking is very difficult so if you don't know Portsmouth please give yourself some extra time and figure out how to get to a parking garage and walk to the restaurant. I was lucky and found a spot 50 feet from the front door....but my kids took 15 minutes to sort it out.

There are very few restaurants that give you first class service and great food. Clay Hill fits the bill. It is the romantic date night spot. It is also a spot to catch up with friends. In full disclosure our daughter had a beautiful reception at Clay Hill 10 years ago. The staff was wonderful, food and ambiance were perfect and everyone had a great time. I recommend Clay Hill Farm any chance I get!

Lovely setting outside as we pulled up, taken to private seating area away from the other diners with a lovely view of a Christmas tree. Service was great while we listened to a sax and guitar duo in another room. Partner and I shared an appetizer, then.had salmon and halibut entrees, so much so, we had to take some home. On our way out, we had to stop in to the bar area and leave tips for the great musicians. You need to try this for yourselves!
