We really enjoyed our entrees and drinks at the Burleigh. The stuffed haddock was delicious as were the short ribs. The service was attentive and personable. The ambiance also provided for a very pleasant dining experience in a very snow-covered and cold Kennebunkport.

We are locals and went on a wintry Tuesday night and had a great time! The staff was so attentive and kind (and funny) and the food was delicious. The smash burger, fish & chips, and the short rib entree were all excellent.

Ambiance was super. Really comfortable, cozy looking place. Statler chicken was amazing! Husband had the burger which was good but what really made his meal was the sauce that the waiter managed to have the chef whip up when he asked if there was a way to give the burger some heat. He really loved it!! Fries were crisp and yummy. Waiter was super busy but attentive and super personable. We sat at a high top in the bar area and chose to sit against the window so we were facing the restaurant, people watching. Window gave off a slight chill, so if you are prone to being chilly, the bar or lower tables in the bar area would be perfect. I definitely will be back and will recommend the Burleigh to others.
