Service and food were very good! The seasonal squash soup was delicious. Both the scallop and lobster bao appetizers were also very good! My husband thought the clam chowder was very good,however a little too salty. Service is always good and the live music always enjoyable. We really enjoyed the woman performing tonight. She has a great voice! Overall, a great evening. Thank you!

Although we live locally, we'd never been to The Burleigh except for drinks outside in the summer. This experience was fantastic -- the best baked stuffed haddock I've ever gotten (I don't usually order things that I cook at home -- so much better than MINE!), excellent drinks/beer, great creme brulee and dessert double chocolate martini as well! Hubby had fish/chips which was cooked to perfection (still wish US restaurants would do REAL British chips...!). We had a fantastic server, Kaila, who was the ONLY server in the entire restaurant and yet was perky, friendly and just perfect in every way! Only thing that would be nice would be to have a dimmer on the bright overhead lights -- just a teensy bit dimmer would provide a more comfy ambience!

We had an excellent dining experience at the Burleigh. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and we were given one of the best tables in the restaurant. The service was excellent, everyone was friendly, and the meal was delicious. We enjoyed their signature cocktails - try the cashmere sweater - it is fantastic! Dessert was delicious as well. Would definitely return. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

We all loved The Burleigh! It is a lovely and cozy setting and the food was delicious. We each ordered something different…the stuffed haddock was a favorite as was the duck. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. We will definitely go back the next time we visit Kennebunkport!
