Best Seasonal Restaurants in Kennebunkport

Chez Rosa is a little hard to find. There’s no parking lot and there’s no reason for not going there and having a delicious meal served with love! The food is great the ambiance is delightful and the severs are friendly and knowledgeable.

We booked the Truffle Dinner “ Experience” and that is was. It was right after Prelude and it was quiet and truly romantic! We’ve never had a bad meal here, but this was on another level. The appetizer was grilled octopus sliced carpaccio style with drizzled balsamic and herbs with a truffle/olive tapenade the kicker was melon! I know. But is was fresh and flavorful. A poached oyster dish was served with a butter herb linguine topped with black truffle that could transport you to New Orleans in an instant. We loved it. The main was a filet, with purple asparagus and of course black truffle, which was a tender and perfectly prepared delight. My husband enjoyed the wine pairing, which was done so thoughtfully for each course it enhanced the flavors of each dish. I enjoyed a custom prepared cocktail served up, in just the right glass. Dessert was delicious chocolate truffles house made. Our compliments to the hosts, manager and definitely the chef, who made our date night truly special. Can you do this once a month? :)

From beginning to end we had a great experience. Service was excellent. Our server was attentive without being invasive. Our meals were delicious. The over the top holiday decorations made for a festive setting.

This was a Prelude dinner with friends and as usual it was a wonderful experience. I got to meet some new staff I hadn’t met before because it was oh so busy, and everyone was on to lend a helping hand to get the food out, drinks delivered with the usual exemplary service the White Barn is famous for. My dear friends enjoyed their first experience at one of our favorite local restaurants. We’ve often told our employees in the past, a true test of excellence is grace under pressure. You got this! Can’t wait to return!

Wonderful! Made reservations at peak time during Christmas Prelude, arrived somewhat earlier and shown right to a fabulous table overlooking the river. Lively atmosphere without being overly noisy, great service and food. Recommended!
