Description: One Dock offers creative, contemporary New England cuisine and traditional Maine favorites in a casual, relaxed setting overlooking the Kennebunk River. The menu starts with classic Maine fare then “amps” up the flavors with Asian and Spanish inspired spices and accompaniments. The menu offers several “small plates” that offer a fun way to sample a variety of tastes or to share with groups. Small plates such as the duck “quesadilla”, pan seared scallops in maple glaze, pulled pork on a cheddar polenta cake and the chipotle cheddar macaroni and cheese are proving to be fan favorites! The Bar at One Dock, one of Kennebunkport’s liveliest nightspots, offers a warm and inviting ambiance. The cocktail menu combines classic cocktails with new signature libations; an icy vodka martini, pomegranate margarita, or pear-tini. The Bar at One Dock is also one of the only spots in the Kennebunks to enjoy live music, provided by some of Southern Maine’s most talented entertainers.

We were staying at this inn so we eat here one evening. Excellent food presented well and quite reasonably priced for a top end resturaunt.

OK, so it's not possible to have this every time you eat at this wonderful restaurant, but it does show how they go out of their way to serve you.

After three days of non stop eating we chose One Dock due to the small plate options and were surprised by how lovely the setting was to the point we were probably a little underdressed in dockers and sweaters. Our waiter, Steven, was new to the establishment and if they are smart they will insist he stay for the long... More

Always a treat! I love this place! We visit Kennebunkport twice a year and One Dock is always a stop. The renovations freshened everything up, but thankfully nothing else changed. It's a great happy hour value and the bartender knows us even though we visit only twice a year!

Gee, surprised by the poor reviews - our experience was just perfect. We ate in the back dining room with the fireplace, with our table looking out onto the deck. A quieter choice than the dining area off of the bar. The wait staff was attentive and accomodating. The Prosecco and wine that we ordered, although moderately priced was outstanding.... More

We went during Restaurant Week and were disappointed in the portions and in the appetizers. My lamb rib was all fat and inedible. The rest of the meal was good, but there was no way that lamb should have been served.
