One Dock, Kennebunkport’s newest dining experience, recently opened the outdoor dining patio and Happy Hour at the Kennebunkport Inn to rave reviews. Offering $5 small plates each day from 4-6p Happy Hour is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a signature cocktail, a new small plate and a fantastic sunset. Fan favorites are proving to be the duck “quesadillas”, pulled pork on cheddar polenta cakes and lobster spring rolls. With a great new menu, sleek new look and a brand new name, One Dock is already proving to be a must try in Kennebunkport! Happy Hour and the outdoor dining patio are perfect opportunities to give it a try.

Featuring native Maine cuisine with a bold, fusion flair, the restaurant promises to be an exciting addition to the culinary landscape in the ‘Port. Award-winning Executive Chef John Shaw’s concept for the menu was to start with the freshest Maine and regional ingredients and then “amp” up the flavor with Asian, Spanish and classic spices and accompaniments. New menu also includes a variety of “Small Plates” designed for sharing and sampling, including mango duck “quesadillas,” lobster spring rolls, and chipotle macaroni and cheese with lobster.

“We wanted the menu to offer a fun and creative approach to sharing and sampling some exciting flavorful items,” said Shaw. “The small plates are perfect for sharing as appetizers or in combinations as a full meal. Recognizing that we have terrific native Maine produce and seafood, we wanted our menu’s origins to be rooted regionally and enhanced with new flavors. For the traditionalists we have a few ‘classics’ such as Baked Haddock, Lazy Man’s Lobster, Maine Mussels, and Beef Tenderloin Carpaccio. New entrée items are equally enticing with selections like Pan Seared Halibut with savory cream corn and baby spinach, Chimichurri Grilled Delmonico Steak, or a Saffron Lobster Ravioli.

Formerly the Port Tavern & Grille at the Kennebunkport Inn, One Dock offers a warmer, sleeker look with a more casual ambiance and an exciting new menu. While retaining some of the classics from the Port Tavern and Grille, One Dock promises to offer an exciting new look and menu offering in Kennebunkport.
