    I wish I had listened to the other reviews before we decided to try it! The food took forever and was just not good. My $50 lobster roll had literally TWO bites worth of lobster meat in it and gobs and gobs of mayo. I normally love Lobster rolls and you’d think they’d be good in Maine! My kids burgers were burnt beyond recognition (inedible). It’s so sad because it’s a cute place and we love to stay at Auberge resorts.

    We had a terrible experience. Our waiter was inattentive and unresponsive. There were long periods of time where we were just sitting waiting for him. We ordered 2 appetizers and two entrees. After 30 min (of which our waiter never checked in or stopped at our table), our meals came out. We never got our appetizers. We told the food runner this and she said sorry and walked away. Our waiter never came over, then as we were halfway done with our meal, he brings them out. We told him we don’t want them now, and he looked shocked. He never returned to our table, never asked if we would like anything else, which we did, never offered dessert. Finally, after sitting for at least 15-30 min after someone else cleared our plates, I had to flag him down for our check. We left very disappointed. I can assure you the tables around us were feeling very similar.

    The menu was uninspired and the food was not good. The salmon was very undercooked and the Cobb salad with lobster had almost no dressing if it had any.

    Some of the food, watermelon drop, chicken (which is not a roulade) was good, the steak frites was not, tasted moldy and was tough. The service was very slow and b.c we were a party of 6, we were blessed w an automatic 20% tip.....

    We had a nice night at the bar at Little Barn. We had the smoked fish dip with chips (delicious) and a Caesar, followed by a lobster cobb salad and steak frites. The food is absolutely delicious, and the space beautiful. What struck us was for an over $200 meal, the service at the bar was quite poor. Granted, it appeared that the bartender was making drinks for the entire restaurant, so she was busy (and made delicious cocktails), but her manner and inattentiveness made us feel disappointed by our experience. She had a helper, who was very nice, but we were definitely underwhelmed by the service. People talk up White Barn and Little Barn throughout Kennebunkport; our experience did not meet the hype. Additionally, I wore white pants at the bar and ended up with scuff marks all over the front.

    Our waiter Patrick was personable and knowledgeable. The charcuterie board was God awful. 7 small pieces of spicy salami and the innards of an andouille sausage. Tasted awful, looked awful. Do not order. No real chef would ever allow that out the kitchen door..we were stunned. The salmon and chicken entrees were good.. not great. The bananas foster was strange to the eye, and small but tasted good. Lastly the bartender was full on nasty and curt.. Don’t attempt to sit there with any warm welcome.

    What a tremendous spot to visit for our first time in Kennebunkport. We were very excited but understandably left underwhelmed to say the least. Service…poor; it was as though they forgot about us after we sat down; no water, drink order or any server for 15 minutes. After we ordered drinks, another 15 minutes goes by and we are told that there was broken glass at the bar and our drinks had to be remade. Complimentary bread…didn’t get any b/c they forgot. When our dinner was served, we received 4/5 entrees. They were “just finishing up” the last entree. It will be right out (5-7 minutes) after we had already begun. What was supposed to be a combo birthday and son-in-law celebration for passing license exams, turned into a disappointment. We will be back to Kennebunkport but I couldn’t imagine going to Little Barn again

    Another amazing experience at Little Barn. Our server, Patrick, was awesome. And Hugo stopped by our table to welcome us, by name, which is always a nice touch. Just love it every time we come. Highly recommended for a guaranteed excellent meal and exceptional service.

    Everything we had was tasty, and the staff were friendly. Our server was, while very pleasant, so incredibly slow that it took more than 2 hours for our salad starter and four basic entrees - one of which was a forgotten kids pasta we had to seek someone out to ask about after no one returned to check in. Our daughter’s drink was not the one she ordered but we didn’t bother to correct it; we needed to flag the server down for a second glass of wine and sparkling water while waiting for our entrees to arrive. I had hopes of trying the bananas foster dessert but finally decided to move on once our server hadn’t returned for at least minutes after clearing our dinner plates. We finally asked another server if we could have our bill. The tables around us all came and went while we tried to be patient. We understand our server was very new so hopefully he’ll find a flow as he gets settled in. We won’t be rushing back.
