“ Asha was very sweet and pleasant throughout my lunch dinning experience. I got the lobster bisque and lobster roll- unfortunately as other reviews have justified, you are paying a high price for these lobster meals, although you are getting MINIMAL lobster! I was dinning with a Maine local, and they expressed they have given approx. 50% of the lobster they should have in the bun. The lobster bisque only had 1 chunk of lobster. Atmosphere was nice, very clean, quick service otherwise- no wait! Would recommend for the other dishes that they serve. ”
“ Never disappoints. Plenty of options. Lobster rolls and lobster bisque is great (creamy, flavorful, and chunks of lobster). Love that you can order a petite roll with bisque. No reservations but can waitlist off yelp. Risotto was a little too el dente but such a great value with all the seafood in it and a nice flavor. I like the deviled egg potato salad option for a side for sometime less greasy. Seasonal beers and even a pumpkin chair cider. Great server too. ”
“ A fellow guest at the place we were staying at heard my hubby and I discussing restaurants to try for fried clams and recommended Allison's. I checked out the menu on the website and became intrigued with the Lobster Bisque Poutine. We decided to give Alisson's a try for dinner. It was a Sunday early evening and we had no need to get on the wait-list. I would recommend visiting their website and checking the wait-list time as it does get busy here. We had no wait for a table and all of the staff was friendly. Our waitress was very attentive. We ordered the Lobster Bisque Poutine as an appetizer. My hubby ordered the Gouda Burger, and I ordered the small lobster roll that came with clam chowder, and a side of potato salad instead of fries. My hubby is picky about his burgers and he really enjoyed this one. The lobster poutine was flavorful and cheesy. It had alot of lobster chunks and was served hot. The lobster roll was served on a buttered toasty roll and was a cool lobster with light mayo salad type, not a hot buttered type. The lobster was cooked perfectly. The white chowder was very good. I am not a fan of ordering white chowder at restaurants because there are so many versions and some are awful. This white clam chowder was one of the best. A simple recipe that results in a creamy chowder with lots of clams and small pieces of potato. We were very happy with our dining experience Alisson's and will go again next time we are in the area to actually try the fried clams! ”
“ We visited Alisson's during the off-season, and despite many other places being closed, this spot was bustling, which is a great sign! Convenient paid parking is available right behind the building. Alisson's is a true pub—it offers a comfortable, lively atmosphere with traditional pub fare, but with a delicious Maine twist. In its category (distinguishing it from a cafe, standard restaurant, or fine dining), it's absolutely worth a visit. We ordered two of their creative menu items: the Henny Chesney (hot chicken sandwich) and the Happy 'Gil'more. Both were great! The hot sauce on the Henny Chesney was particularly fantastic and made the whole sandwich a hit. The atmosphere was cool, featuring a fun moving beer menu display. The service was excellent; both the host and our waitress were really nice and made the experience very welcoming. If you’re looking for a high-quality, bustling pub with great food in Kennebunkport, Alisson's is a solid choice! ”
“ The hostess wasn’t the friendliest of ladies, but don’t let that stop you from visiting! My husband and I ordered the petite lobster trio and the fish and chips, both were very tasty. The location itself is super cute and has such a nice vibe. We also enjoyed a few cocktails the Apple Cider Mimosa, Campfire Mule, and Gettin’ Figgy With It and all three were delicious in their own way. Definitely worth checking out! ”
