We really enjoyed our visit to the wine bar. GREAT for GLUTEN FREE diets. Lots of gluten free options across the menu, including a very good gluten free brownie. As someone who can eat gluten (we ordered it for my wife), I can testify that it’s every bit as good as other brownies I’ve had. Thick, dense, moist, slightly gooey, and delicious. Also pictured is the seafood paella with scallops and mahi mahi. The wine was good. We enjoyed all of our food. The staff is great and the chef clearly knows that they are doing. It’s a tad pricier than I’m used to (we are from the Midwest), but you can’t beat the experience. We spent about $80 on a glass of wine, hot toddy, 3 dishes (potatoes, seafood paella, brownie), and tip.

Such an amazing place! Outstanding food & service! Loved everything we ordered & we ordered a lot of dishes. The Fig Tartlet with goat cheese, crispy pancetta, roasted shallot jam was my favorite as were the Falafel with preserved lemon yoghurt, cucumber quick pickle, dill, house-made naan & the Chicken Meatballs & Pan Seared Halibut. I wish I’d taken photos of all the food but it was being hobbled up before I had a chance to snap photos! I’ll go back just for the desserts- the Sticky Toffee Pudding Chantilly cream was that good! Will definitely head back to Kennebunkport & Old Vines Wine Bar soon.

Service was okay, food was terrible. They did a decent job of making the food look nice… but that’s it. The heirloom tomatoes were soft, burrata came out in a sheet, halibut was overcooked and dry, fettuccine was flavorless, shrimp was overcooked…I mean should I keep going? I don’t know how this place got the rating it currently has but this was a complete waste of $135. We hardly ate, paid the check, waitress didn’t even seem to care that we had barely touched our food. We also saw her drop silverware on the floor and then place it on an empty table for the next patrons to use. Just wow.

Gorgeously rustic chic atmosphere and seriously delicious food. I attended a private event in the upstairs area and it was really nice. Servers passed small bites like falafel balls and mini lobster rolls that were perfect for the event, then set out a buffet including Caesar Salad, meatballs in sauce, sliced steak etc. for us to nibble on, then brought out blueberry crumble cups and churro bites for dessert. The bartender was friendly and mixed excellent drinks, including an Espresso Martini. I would definitely go back. A very pleasant evening at a pretty venue.

This was a highlight of our August vacation in Maine. If you just love cocktails and wines but just want some amazing small bites along with it then this place is your restaurant. It is highly recommended to have reservations for outside and inside or you would have to come early to be on a wait list. The staff was amazing and the cocktails we had were unique and amazing as well. We ordered the beef carpacchio, Caesar salad w/ white anchovies, steak frites and pork belly. All of them were amazing and made by experts. Will gladly go there again with no issues.

Very very nice spot with tapas style dishes. Amazing food! The flavors were great! The place was a little small and the tables were really close together but it had a nice friendly feel. We went in the evening for dinner around 7 so it was a bit crowded but our wait was only 10 minutes. The lighting was nice and dim for a relaxed feel. They also have a nice outdoor area with tables and a fire pit but it was a little too chilly to enjoy that. The staff were all super great and accommodating. The bathroom was very clean and nice. Pleasant time had by all!
