Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Old Orchard Beach

From the moment you walk into the inn lobby you are warmly welcomed by the concierge. The service and ambiance were extraordinary from start to finish and were only exceeded by the chef's remarkable recipes. We chose the three course dinner and every dish was meticulously prepared, subtly flavored and absolutely delicious! As advertised, the price is on the high side which reflects their uniqueness, their quality and their commitment to providing an exceptional experience. Topping everything off is their small but windowed dining room providing a wonder view of the ocean.

We had a wonderful dinner at The Burleigh! Kayla was friendly, very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, she was so sweet!. The food was amazing!!

Every dish was amazing! Justin is an extremely talented chef and we can’t wait to go back. Even something like potato leek soup, which I almost didn’t select because it seemed too ordinary and there were so many other great options in the first course, ended up being the best soup I have ever had. Cocktails were creative and fantastic as well. Really nice ambience with the rustic but elegant decor.

We had not been back to David’s for a number of years due to location; however, we were thrilled with the entire dining experience starting with their willingness to slightly change our reservation time in order to move to a table and have a longer seating time. The service was superb and not rushed, yet attentive. The choices offered under each course were all scrumptious which made it difficult to choose, but we did choosing the lamb and duck dishes as our mains. Cooked perfectly at medium rare for both, eating them was to experience well blended yet not overpowering flavors and perfectly sized portions. The appetizers were equally impressive but I must say the sea salted cashew caramel chocolate torte was divine! A great dining experience and would highly recommend for a special evening.

A genuinely excellent Italian dining experience in Portland Maine's Old Port. The focus on locally sourced ingredients makes a big difference. The chef (from Genova) makes the most of the local fresh seafood. Service was perhaps the best we have had in Portland, which is a pretty high bar, but still, better here.
