The Front Yard - Ogunquit

Had a very positive experience. Busy night out on Rt. 1. Headed in for appetizers and cocktails at the outside bar. They were very busy. Bar was very clean, nice outside furnishings, open spacious several comfortable options. Service was excellent, someone always there if you needed something. We had margaritas and appetizers. Drinks were well made and good looking. We had the burrata with roasted squash, prawns in a spicy buttery sauce with crostini and a Mediterranean seafood chowder. Then added the meatballs and flatbread. Good presentation but meatballs were very garlicky. All looked great and overall most everything was tasty. Everything came out promptly. They served salty focaccia bread. All in all, very good. It is a little pricey it would be tough for a couple to leave with a tab lower than $100. Was glad to see someone turn this spot around (it had struggled before, when other owners concepts fell flat). Parking was a bonus.

Wanted a nice dinner for a special occasion. Some locals in town mentioned this place. The outdoor dining area was booked so we sat inside but the AC was so cool it was a bit uncomfortable if you didn't have a jacket. I had the Pear salad and had asked if I could add crumbled gorgonzola cheese to it and there was barely any cheese. I ordered the Lobster and Shrimp Alla Vodka and the flavor was good, but there were super tiny shreds of lobster (no chunks or claws) that I had to search for because I thought I didn't get the right dish that I ordered, only the shrimp were visible. Service was quick. This place has a great menu and I was looking for more upscale options but was a little disappointed in the presentation and barely getting any lobster in my entree. If it's warm weather, sit outside and enjoy the ambiance.

Wow!! We didn't have a reservation, but we were still treated like royalty. We sat at a table in the bar, and it was very nice. It was a little loud, but I almost expect Mediterranean places to be lively anyway so it didn't bother us at all. The food was exquisite and the drinks were very delectable! I will make a reservation next time (and there will be a next time) for sure!

Lobster and shrimp pasta was amaaaaaazeballz. Interior is subpar tho (see my photos), I recommend waiting as long as it takes to be outdoor, which is really really nice. Didn't try any other meals but, again, the pasta were off the charts

Great atmosphere, wonderful food. Really enjoyed our experience at The Front Yard. I very much enjoyed the bouillabaisse, my partner especially enjoyed the watercress salad with added lobster. The lobster was especially delicious and very easy to eat! A must restaurant if you are in Ogunquit! Don?t miss it!
