50 Local - KENNEBUNK

After covid I don't like dining out much. But we had a wonderful experience at 50 local. Service was top notch, pleasant experience as soon as we entered. We weren't rushed through our dinner. Arrived at 5:30 and left at 8:30. Now we are still not in peak season so not sure if that will change during the summer. Our dinners all came at the same time! And all were hot! Not warm, not cold all hot! The background music was classic rock, which us 60+ like! This is the type of dining I missed and I'm so happy I decided to leave my stomping grounds and venture over to the next town to dine! I'll be back! Keep up the great work!!!

My good friend Jamie loves this place and is always talking about it, and the chef there. I had never been but decided to stop in last week for dinner. He is admittedly wrong about a lot of things but his praise of this place is spot on. I have eaten at almost every decent restaurant between Boston and Portland at some point in my life. This is definitely one of my favorites. It's a nice setting, with friendly people, and the menu offers some unique choices you won't find anywhere else. I would highly recommend it.

The service was much better than the food and value at this restaurant. The crab cake was tasty but the size of a meatball for $14, and the crispy egg salad was a crusted poached egg on a bed of plain lettuce for $16 with no tomatoes, olives, or cucumbers which would have made it more impressive. Anchovies were an additional $4, and bread with olive oil (no butter) was also $4 extra. The rest of the meal was forgettable. As New Yorkers who have dined in fine restaurants, we found it insulting to be charged for butter. Unfortunately, we will not be returning.

I absolutely loved dining at your restaurant for our anniversary. The chef is incredible! The gnocchi with lobster, celeriac, and carrot chips was my all-time favorite dish. The lemon mousse was a perfect ending to a delicious and filling meal. My husband also enjoyed his dinner. The bread was fantastic, especially with the delicious olive oil. The drinks were great as well, and the service from the waitress was excellent. Overall, it was a very special dining experience.

This was my first visit to 50 Local and I was impressed by the good vibe and cozy atmosphere of the small bar. The service was excellent, thanks to our bartender Jet who made some great menu recommendations. The drinks were top-notch and the food was delicious. My husband enjoyed the Halibut dish while I savored the short rib flatbread. We will definitely be returning in the future.
