   Had to return my dinner overcooked dry and tasteless My wife’s lobster roll was the smallest size we have received in Kennebunkport. Our server was fair we ordered a bottle of wine which we had to refill ourselves I would not recommend this restaurant .

   Food was excellently prepared, but options were very limited, with small portions. For the price I paid for the night’s special, I would have expected a little more. Service was prompt and courteous. I guess given the economy we are in now, we should get used to less value. That said, the smaller portions are better for my waistline.

   They sat us in a separate room instead of the nice barn feel, and very very limited menu. The main dining area was nice with a piano playing but would only go for drinks and not dinner

   Dear William, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. Little Barn, our casual concept, is located just off of the main barn, where we offer our fine dining menu. We are saddened to hear you did not have the experience you anticipated, and hope to welcome you back again soon for a fine dining experience in the main barn. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. Sincerely, Daniel Braun, General Manager

   From the lovely hostess, to the talented bartender (the drinks are truly inventive), to our kind service staff and valet, everyone was so attentive and welcoming. The rooms are beautiful and the piano accompaniment always adds an element of grandeur that transports to bigger cities like NYC. My only complaint is how loud the Little Barn room can be with a few large parties in it, but nothing that impacted our evening. The table cornbread was a delicious start - just try not to eat it all before the meal comes. Our first two courses, the burrata and heirloom tomato salad were perfectly sized and beautifully plated, not to mention delicious in their simplicity and freshness. For entrees, the cioppino broth was rich and velvety, and the seafood clean and fresh. The spicy lobster Mac and cheese could’ve done with a little more fat or cheese, and attention to detail on plating (no garnish and lobster pieces were small), but was otherwise delicious and filling. We ended with a pistachio pudding, which was savory-sweet - a perfect end to a rich meal. Thanks all for a great evening escape. We’ll be back again soon.

   We had a lovely dinner at the Little Barn . The food was outstanding! I loved that they had a piano player in the bar & all the employees from the moment we drove into the parking lot & the valet took the car to be parked to the wait staff who knew every item on the menu and finally the women who gave us back our coats that were checked ! It was a pleasure to have dinner & watch the magnificent staff. Thank you all for the incredible evening. I hope to be back again soon!

    The menu appeared to be quite nice. But when served…. Two of the meals were extremely salty the portions were VERY small, very little lobster on the mac & chz didnt even see pieces of lobster, lobster stew had 1shrimp, 1/2” piece of lobster 1scallop for $41 and very salty. Bibb salad was overloaded with egg and felt like more of an egg salad sandwich. Ugh. We expected more from the white barn even though it was the “little barn”. We had a wonderful dinner there in the bistro during a Xmas prelude 2 years ago. Something changed. This visit was Very disappointinG. We expressed our disappointment and they were very nice to give us one free dessert. Out dinner for two cost as $160. The service was excellent and the atmosphere lovely. I don’t think I would go back there because there are other Places in Kennebunkport and Kennebunk that provide a better meal. We are summer locals for over 35 yrs. and was hoping for a better experience.

    First time in Little Barn. Usually dine in main dining room. Loved the warmth and relaxed atmosphere. Service was excellent. Food was very good but not as good as main dining room. Thought lobster roll was very small considering we were in Maine. The fries were fabulous. Pasta with sauce was very good. Would have liked a variety of rolls instead of just corn bread. Nice experience. Will return.

    Overall was disappointed. Expected innovative, memorable meal. What we got was pretty mediocre. Lobster risotto had a couple of small pieces of lobster. This is a restaurant in Maine! Brie with blueberries was totally underwhelming. Not a birthday celebration that will be remembered.

    Amazing experience for a sleepy Monday night in January. Food, atmosphere and wine list are terrific. Service wasn't perfect for the venue that it is - kept asking if plates could be removed when we were still eating. Wine glass wasn't refilled.

    We have enjoyed dining at The White Barn and The Little Barn many times for special occasions. The service is usually very attentive, and the food is inventive and very good. Last night, though, we were disappointed with the prime rib that was said to be 16 oz. It was priced at $75, and we were told that it may be shared. When the meal arrived, the portion size of the prime rib was small, there was half of a grilled carrot and a small portion of potato. The person sharing the meal was given an empty plate to portion off any shared part. For the price, the meal should have been more significant in quantity, and the meal should have been divided in the kitchen (the server was aware that the meal was to be shared).

    We had a great date night here and loved the winter decor. It felt festive and the piano music was a nice aspect as well. The drinks were unique and quite delicious, as were the small bite and appetizer we shared. Our main dishes were good but not outstanding and a bit overpriced for what they were (the lobster Mac n cheese was small). Overall we enjoyed ourselves and would return.
