We stopped by to try out the new digs since the last time we were here was in the old building, and the schooner was still floating nearby. The new building is much much bigger, having two floors and offering beautiful views from their large windows. When entering, you'll be coming in near their bar area, which is both busy and loud, and off to the right is a dining area that shares in the noise. The 2nd floor is substantially quieter, has its own bar, a nice seating area, and dining tables. I recommend going for the 2nd floor. The food was very, very good, and the menu choices should satisfy most anyone's taste. The schooner is now a permanent attachment to the building on dry land and connected with an inclined walkway. It has a nice bar area with limited munchies and great views. It's a great spot to wait for your table or just to pop in for a fun experience. I don't recommend the schooner for those with mobility issues. There is plenty of parking available & their prices seem reasonable considering the quality and portion sizes of the items and the novelty and setting within Kennybunkport. If you found this review helpful, please let me know by tapping the thumbs up. Thanks!

We had booked a whale watch trip, which was unfortunately cancelled about an hour before taking off. We saw this restaurant in the same parking lot. We decided a cpl hours later to go back there for lunch. It was FAAAANTAAASTIC! Haddock basket had a huge lightly breaded n fried filet on deeelicious ff. A haddock sandwich was treated the same..a big piece of delicious flaky haddock on a great toasted roll with lettuce, tomatoes, a few pickles and onions and tartar sauce on the side. Onion rings for us all to try were light, flaky hand breaded masterpieces!!! French onion soup with lovely crusty pc of bread w a thick layer of chz on it..and a side salad were both beautiful and delicious. Actually slivers of carrots in the salad! When asked if they were a Coke or Pepsi, happily for me..Coke!!😁 I asked for a bucket! I was thirsty..Awesome server brought me an actual little BUCKET of diet Coke!! I was in heaven. We all thoroughly enjoyed our lunch on the enclosed patio..was a bit windy for the outside one. Our food was piping hot, and was served up really quickly! We highly recommend!!!

This was recommended for lunch by the very friendly lady at the city information center. We went around 12:30 on a Tuesday and it was packed. Thankfully they had a table for two and we were able to sit right away. The server was very friendly, but I could tell that they were very busy running around from table to table. We got a "steamer", a fish and chips w/ haddock, and a cup of clam chowder. The steamer was basically a lb and half of soft shell clams, with butter. The wife loved it! I'm not much of a clam person though. The haddock and fries were very good too. I generally like firmer fish for my fish and chips, but this was good. Very good fries too. The clam chowder was probably the best I've had in a long while. Our total bill was around $45 or something which felt very reasonable for the quality of food and the area. Saw a bunch of people ordering whole lobsters. They too seemed pretty well priced.

I recently dined at The Pilot House in Kennebunkport with a group of eight, and our experience was mixed. Our server was very pleasant and friendly but very new and often forgot things. The chowder was delish. So creamy and full of flavor. But the fries we received were cold and essentially inedible, and the fish was somewhat dry, which was disappointing for a seafood restaurant! Despite these issues, the drinks were excellent and well-prepared. While the ambiance of the place was enjoyable, the food and service left much to be desired. Overall, my visit to The Pilot House was underwhelming, with a few highlights but significant areas for improvement.
