We really enjoyed our entrees and drinks at the Burleigh. The stuffed haddock was delicious as were the short ribs. The service was attentive and personable. The ambiance also provided for a very pleasant dining experience in a very snow-covered and cold Kennebunkport.

We are locals and went on a wintry Tuesday night and had a great time! The staff was so attentive and kind (and funny) and the food was delicious. The smash burger, fish & chips, and the short rib entree were all excellent.
