  • "Our party of four had a great experience with our dinner at Hurricanes! One comment.. I ordered a bowl of lobster bisque or stew (cannot remember what it was called.) The bowl was four times the size of any bowl of soup I had ever seen and the cost was $14. I thought it would have to be fabulous for the $$ - I was disappointed that the bowl was filled primarily with potatoes and VERY little lobster... What lobster there was was cut into minute pieces so was hardly recognizable... Quite disappointing on that front but good otherwise ... Thank you!"

  • "The Onion Soup was Luke warm. Ordered the tenderloin med rare & received one that was medium well. I decided that I would eat it & most likely would of said very little. What did bother me most was when the waitress finally came over to check on us I let her know that I wasn’t happy with my steak. She looked & said “That is medium well”. At that point she should of either taken it away or stated that she would be right out with one cooked correctly. She instead stood there saying she was sorry & finally asked me what I wanted to do with. My piece of advice, don't ask, correct the mistake! While they didn't charge me for a steak that I really didn’t eat, I came to eat & pay for a meal. I did not come to receive a partial meal for free."

  • "Dined at The Hurricane Sunday evening....what a great restaurant!! I chose the seafood stew, which was prepared with scallops, clams, mussels, shrimp and 1/2 a steamed lobster... So o incredibly delicious...the almond pesto always takes this dish over the top!!! My husband had the filet served with whipped potatoes and cartelized brussels sprouts...he's not a fan of those mini cabbages, but there wasn't a one left on his plate...!!! We both truly enjoyed every mouthful of our dinners and can't wait to return!!"

  • "Beginning last year we have attended several of the community suppers. The 3 entrees they offer for special pricing are great ! Service is prompt and friendly! Our family buys gift certificates for birthdays, anniversaries, etc. so we can enjoy the community suppers through the off peak season. Love looking out over the river watching kayakers and sunset!!"

  • "Huuricanes continues to be a great dining experience. It is fine for small parties of not more than 4, otherwise it gets a bit crowded. We were dining early which enabled us to enjoy the Price Fox menu. A great 3 course meal for $30 / person. Started with a simple Cesar's salad, then Salmon entree, and then desert (4 scoops of flavored Ice Creams). The exterior walls face the Kennebunk River, giving a great outdoor view while you dine. The location is in the heart of the Dock Square area of Kennebunkport, so you can spend some time walking around the shops either before, or to walk off some of the dinner afterwards. The regular menu is great too, as we have dined here many times before."

  • "The Hurricane Restaurant in the heart of downtown Kennebunkport, ME is a place you will revisit summer after summer. Visit just before sunset and wait for a window table. Enjoy the sunset over the marsh along with one of their signature martinis. I recommend the Safflower Martini made with Blue Bombay Sapphire Gin, St Germaine Liquor and a splash of white cranberry juice and a twist of lemon... Ahhh... "Summer in a glass". The lobster chowder is AMAZING and the Caesar Salad, with half a lobster, is a must have. Enjoy this restaurants romantic atmosphere with the one you love or bring along friends for a fabuous evening! This is the one of the top restaurants of the area!!"

  • "Great experience, all-around. Perfect waterside setting, quick and friendly service, great wine list, and the oysters, and dinners were perfect."
    Dined on 9/2/2013
  • "As a tourist in Kennebunkport, you can always get decent, comfort food. From brinks to appetizers and main courses it is average quality; do not expect inspiration or innovation. Service is haphazard; Despite the potential of being located on the water's edge, it is not exploited with a dungeons' feeling."
    Dined on 8/30/2013
  • "We have eaten many of time at Hurricane's in K'Port. It is the quintessential New England/Maine/Kennebunkport experience. Typical lobster and other seaford dishes one would come to expect in K'Port...as well as other meat, pasta and other offerings. While never disappointed and perfectly adequate, I also am never WOW'ed by the experience. The location is great, the wait staff is very informative and responsive...and the ambience is excellent...but the food is just 'good' to 'fair'. It is not the first place we think about eating when we are in the area...which is a lot...so, while it will not disappoint, I also think it does not inspire the real 'foodie'."

  • "Thouroughly enjoyed dinner with the family at Hurricane Restaurant. Something for everyone including one picky teenager. The lobster corn chowder was fantastic. My son had the chicken satay app which easily work as a dinner....presentation was beautiful! Hurricane style shrimp scampi always a treat and met expectations once again. Would not vacation in Kennebunkport without a visit or two to Hurricane's.r"

  • "We have dined at Hurricane many times and this experience was right in line with all of our previous visits. You can always expect between a 4 and 5 star experience. This time the food was excellent (as expected) but the desserts were off the hook. Just outstanding in every way. If you're in the Kennebunks and are looking for a place that's great for couples or small groups then this is the stop."

  • "The restaurant has a great location overlooking the river. The Mediterranean seafood stew was very flavorful and a generous portion. My husband had the beef tenderloin and it was cooked perfectly with a delicious smashed potato side. Sit by the windows if you can for a great view."

  • "Beautiful setting on the Kennebunk River in Kennebunkport. Excellent wine list and service. Most food preparation was excellent except vegetables. The green beans were barley blanched or literally raw. This spoiled what was otherwise a well prepare dish scallops and shrimp. Without this serious error food would be close to 5 stars."

  • "The food is always great. Limited menu, but always something for everyone. The service on this visit was lacking. This is the issue here, sometime you have great service other times it seems not. On this night it took two plus hours to have appetizer, two beverages and an entree. Waited on average fifteen minutes for drinks to arrive after they were ordered each time. Waitress never checked on us except to take orders. If you are willing to gamble on service, the food is well worth the visit."
    Dined on 8/3/2013
  • "First of all, our server was delightful. Everything was explained and handled with a smile. We were all laughing when she described the oysters, especially the chubby puppies, which were fresh and delicious. The lobster bisque was a meal in itself, rich and velvety. Some nice touches were the olive oil bottle on the table, the hot bread, the drinks served on crushed ice and the view. Overall it was a fun evening."

  • "We were there for lunch on a summer Saturday. We had made reservations and were seated right away. Service was attentive. But as the restaurant filled there was a considerable wait between appetizers and entree. Clam appetizer was great as was the lobster chowder. Turkey BLT and crab and havarti sandwich were very good."

  • "Ok place since there is very little else in the area...busy place that just turns tables in a touristy small town..most uneventful..and they need air conditioning on warm days as it was way too hot and muggy"
