Alisson's Restaurant

Nestled in the charming heart of Kennebunkport at 11 Dock Square, Alisson's Restaurant offers a warm and inviting culinary experience that celebrates the very best of American seafood with a genuine Maine twist. This beloved family-friendly spot easily captures the essence of coastal New England dining, where the freshest ingredients meet hearty, comforting preparations.

The menu is a treasure trove of flavorful options that cater to both seafood lovers and those looking for satisfying pub fare. Start your meal with a steaming bowl of New England Clam Chowder, where creamy broth and tender clams offer a perfect balance of richness and briny freshness. For something more indulgent, the Maine Lobster Bisque is a standout — silky, luscious, and generously studded with chunks of sweet lobster meat that melt delightfully on the palate.

Sharing plates beckon you to savor communal bites like the Native Maine Mussels simmered in white wine, garlic butter, shallots, and scallions — a fragrant, succulent treat that practically transports you to the ocean’s edge. The Fried Maine Crab Cakes, paired with a tangy lemon aioli, deliver crispy exteriors and tender, flavorful interiors that embody the very best of coastal cooking. If you're feeling adventurous, the inventive Lobster Bisque Poutine is a must-try, combining decadence with playful comfort food.

Sides such as the House Deviled Egg Potato Salad offer a refreshing, less greasy contrast to the richer dishes, while classics like French Fries and Cole Slaw round out the quintessential American seafood feast. On the drinks side, Alisson's impressive selection of cocktails, including the refreshing Campfire Mule and perfectly crafted Manhattan, elevate the meal with expertly balanced flavors.

The atmosphere at Alisson’s strikes a beautiful balance between lively pub and cozy family restaurant. It hums with the energy of happy locals and visitors alike, especially delightful during the bustling summer season but equally welcoming in the offseason when the community vibe shines through. Friendly, attentive service adds a personal touch, making every guest feel well cared-for, whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply unwinding after a day of exploring the charming coastal town.

Parking is conveniently available just behind the restaurant, making this accessible gem easy to find and hard to leave. Whether you come for the crave-worthy lobster rolls served alongside a petite bisque or a full plate of fresh salmon or seafood risotto, Alisson’s Restaurant promises a genuine taste of Maine’s coastal bounty in a setting that feels both familiar and special.

With its unwavering reputation for fresh, flavorful dishes and a convivial atmosphere, Alisson’s is more than a meal — it’s a memorable dining destination that consistently delights and invites you to return again and again.
