    Always excellent. Beef bourguignon was outstanding as was French onion soup. They always source the best Maine oysters. Staff is attentive but not too much- wonder experience.

    This was our second visit in about six months. As locals we wanted to wait until the wave of visitors had passed to spend a quiet evening without a crowd. My steak & frites was good but my wife’s mussels special was abysmal. To produce a poor mussels dish in Kennebunkport has to take some effort and as a Frenchman whose passion in cooking I take offense when an otherwise elementary Meridional dish is so badly executed. The mussels were average in size (which is good) but the sauce was neither creamy nor unique. The dish was bland and for a basic dish at a wannabe French restaurant where your your cheapest red Bordeaux “Chateau Brandeau du Tertre 2020” will set you back by $65 (Wine Enthusiast’s price is $16), it does not cut it. Lastly, this time around I refused to re-order crème brȗlée because they can’t even handle the cream . Take note, it is a recipe: egg yolk, sugar & whipping cream. Voilà!
    Chez RosaResponded 4 days ago
    Dear Bernard, Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your recent visits. We’re sorry to hear that the mussels dish and crème brûlée didn’t meet your expectations. Your feedback is important to us as we strive to uphold the high standards our guests deserve. We’re glad you enjoyed the steak and frites, and we hope your next visit will be more aligned with your expectations. While we wish we’d had the chance to address your concerns during your visit, please know we’re committed to improving and would love to welcome you back for a better experience. Warm regards, Kyle and Yazmin co-owners

    The food and service have been excellent every time we’ve gone to Chez Rosa. Tonight we chose steak frites and the gnocchi. Both were excellent. Although we didn’t order the cheese fondue tonight, we noticed several tables did, and it looks delicious. Can’t wait to try it next time!

    Very good. Traditional French cuisine, smaller portions. I tried some things I had never had before. Overall, a very nice New Year’s Eve dinner!
    Chez RosaResponded 4 days ago
    Hey Elizabeth, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed our traditional French cuisine and that your New Year’s Eve dinner with us was a memorable experience. We appreciate your feedback about the portion sizes on the NYE menu. As a tasting menu, the portions are intentionally smaller to ensure our guests can savor every bite from start to finish. For regular dining, our portion sizes are more substantial, and we’d love for you to experience them on a future visit. Creating memorable experiences for our guests is always our goal, and your kind words are truly appreciated. We look forward to welcoming you back to Chez Rosa for another exceptional meal soon. The Chez Rosa Team
