    Overall it was a pleasant experience. However, my wife was served a piece of fish for her main course that was uneatable/ spoiled, frankly disgusting. The server never came to ask if the "first few bites" were good so she sat there with a smelly fish on her plate. When the server returned she took then plate, we explained why the main was uneaten and she returned with. desert and no explanation or apology for the spoiled main. We received a "special" desert add on from the chef with no mention of the served spoiled fish only a side bar comment that they took it off the bill. Its a reputable place that needs to be more accountable with better communication with its customers. This is on management for sure, one to grown and learn on.

    The seasonal prix fixe menu is an excellent deal. The service was as attentive as in the main restaurant . The miso cod with sticky rice was superb- perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. The Little Barn is cozy and inviting, perfect for a casual dinner.

    The food, service and ambiance were all top flight. However, the prices charged for two martinis were outrageous. One was $25, which is high but not crazy. The other was $46; that IS crazy. My advice - go and enjoy the restaurant but stay away from ordering any mixed drinks unless your wallet is very well-padded.

    The food and service was excellent!!! My big complaint was the valet service. Since it’s valet parking only, the valet should be there. I waited when I got there. No valet, which is fine. Parked my self. Then suddenly a valet appeared, took my key, gave me a ticket. After dinner, no valet again. Waited. No valet. Waited. No valet. I see a big box with keys in it. Unattended. Not locked. Just keys, out in the open!!! Grabbed my keys and left. NOT COOL!!!!

    Lindsey has been our server many times. SHE IS AWESOME!!! She clearly loves what she does. Maybe because our group of 4 tried 3 of the 4 choices for starters, main dishes and desserts and everybody thought their dish was perfect! Martinis were so good that everybody had two! We can't wait to go again. Would I recommend the Little Barn to a friend? Absolutely! Especially if they want me to tag along.

    Little Barn is the charming sister restaurant, tucked just behind the White Barn Inn restaurant. The menu is well rounded as are the innovative cocktails. The atmosphere has a dimly-lit, rustic/quiet luxury feel and the service is outstanding.

The barn is beautiful,warm and cozy. My waitress Alicia is a gem. Her recommendations were outstanding. The food and service were top notch. Can not wait to return. Thank you!

    Was a bit of a bummer… made reservation and shared it was our anniversary - other than attentive hostess no other recognition - why ask about special occasions in the first place!?! We had a late evening reservation and seemed like the staff was spent. Long wait times on what appeared understaffed team. Cocktails arrived (they were awesome) but service slowed at this point. We splurged and ordered the price fix menu… first course was exceptional. Lobster entree was undercooked - sure, this is a top tier establishment but even we noticed it was not fully cooked. Dessert was nice but entire experience was marred by slow, inattentive service and noisy neighbors in small setting. The immense price did not equal in experience. Save your resources for say nearby Mabel’s - street side ambiance aside, Mabel’s food was outstanding - and a third of the price.

    Food was simply not up to par. I had to send my pasta back and get another dish. Everything was underwhelming and not well seasoned. On top of it, we were charged for our meal and then for another table’s dinner and the team still can’t figure out how to issue a refund.

    Dined night before and was so good that we decided to return for lunch the next day. Great day for lunch on the porch. Burger was excellent and plenty of fries to accompany. Arugula salad with grilled peaches was a great way to say goodbye to summer. Would highly recommend for lunch or dinner even as regulars in Kennebunkport!
