That Place in Ogunquit

Ate here tonight (6÷11÷2016) & it was very disheartening. Not worthy of the high ratings others have bestowed on it. Onion soup was pedestrian at best. Ordered escargot & it was bland & I can’t fathom how that’s even remotely possible! My entrée, crab stuffed shrimp was lukewarm. Dessert was okay & a poor selection of teas was disappointing. Discerning eaters & foodies stay away.

Wow — read the reviews online and decided on That Place In Ogunquit for dinner while staying in Ogunquit. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Food was on point, steak and salmon both were cooked perfectly. Great servers, very friendly and quick. Honestly was just an awesome experience — food had great flavor and everything seemed very well thought out.
If we visit Ogunquit another time we will definitely eat here again.

Food and service was fine for us. Was here for an early dinner. Had the mussels, beet salad and stuff baked haddock. Also had a bowl of onion soup. Those items were sort of shared between my wife and I. Was only two other tables occupied in the dining room when we came in a 4pm or so. The waitress was personable too.

Poor service, the waitress almost push us to finish our dinner quickly. We ordered the haddock with seafood stuffing, wasn’t a good option, was tasteless. We will not come back to this restaurant.

Phenomenal drinks, food and service. We were here to celebrate my husbands bday. I ordered a dry martini — yum yum. My husband ordered wine with out meal. He decided to have the escargot and the pork belly as appetizers and his meal along with The hangar steak appetizer. The escargot was delish and the pork belly was crunchy on the outside and tender inside. I had the delmonico (rib eye) which was perfect. Tyler provided excellent service!

GREAT FOOD! GREAT SERVICE!
GREAT AMBIENCE! I’ve been in the restaurant business my entire life…
Rick and his staff get it. The food and prices are spot on and they understand the meaning of exceeding customer expectations with over the top hospitality. Great Job!

Great, friendly bar atmosphere. Good food & drinks.

2^nd year anniversary ! My husband and I had the best time my French martini was amazing and our meal was so good I had the crab stuffed shrimp omg yummmmmm such a cute place great staff we loved it ! Thanks for a awesome night ! that place ! Will for sure be back!

Searching last night for a place to grab dinner (really late). The bar was 90% full and had a great vibe. Ordered scallop wrapped bacon for an app and sandwiches for our meal. App came out cooked to perfection with a delicious light maple drizzle. Sandwiches were well portioned; served on homemade bread. French fries were real (yes!) and perfectly crisped. Waitress was on her game all night with great support from bartenders.
All staff was engaging, friendly and very well trained. So glad we happened upon this, we will be back!

What a great little place in Ogunquit! I went last night for my significant others birthday. We have been talking about trying this «new» place for awhile, but the tourists scared us away a bit.
The atmosphere is beautiful. Modern and open with big beautiful windows and great lighting. The bar looked welcoming and classy. I wouldn’t be opposed to hanging out there with friends and watching a game.
The waiter we had was also great. He was personable and had a great sense of humor. As soon as he realized we were locals he relaxed a bit (which I enjoyed). His recommendations were spot on!
What brought us to this establishment was the ciopinno. The birthday boy is obsessed with trying it at new places. When the bowl came out I was very happy I decided to try this new place for dinner. The shrimp in the cioppino were large, sweet and cooked perfectly. The tomato broth was flavorful and had just the right amount of bite for the dish (that kind that hits you at the end). The baked stuffed haddock I ordered was perfectly cooked. The haddock I had was flavorful and moist enough to really add to the dish. The sherry sauce that was on it was flavorful and just the right amount to not weigh down the dish. The sides of mashed potatoes and mashed butternut squash were perfect as well. I was very impressed! We left happy, full and looking forward to returning!

Excellent food. We started with the French onion soup and the scallops wrapped in bacon. Both had amazing flavor and were perfect cooked. I had the salmon over creamy risotto and a saltambucca fennel sauce. My better half had shrimp scampi. It was all super tasty and an overall great experience. I wish the service was a bit slower. The entrees came out right after the appetizers. Would have been nice to be able to languish over the experience a bit more. However, I am just getting nit picky, if it was too long I would complain the other way.

This is easily one of the better restaurants in Ogunquit, despite not specializing in lobster.
My 8-​year-​old was happy to order a breaded chicken breast over buttered pasta. The 3 adults, however, had appetizers & entrees and couldn’t finish anything. While prices are a bit high ($ 22+), the portions were enormous. We easily could have done with just appetizers, for less than half the cost.
The mussels were the BEST & are a large enough portion for an entrée. The sauce is leeks & smoked bacon & delicious. For $ 12, it’s a bargain.
The clam chowder is rich & perfectly suited to the chillier nights. We also tried the escargot, which were buttery & redolent of garlic.
Our entrees were the chili-​brown sugar tuna (served rare), the crab-​stuffed haddock, and the shrimp scampi. All were terrific, but far more food than we could manage. We all have ample lunches for tomorrow.

This was a nice restaurant with very good service. The beet salad was fresh and sweet. The tuna tartare was delicious. The salmon dish was good except neither my husband nor I liked the glaze on top of it. I find that most American restaurants who try to make Asian inspired dishes make their glaze too thick, and this was no exception. My husband did rave about the risotto side as well as the corn side.

After reading the comments on Unilocal about this restaurant, my bf and I decided to go for a nice dinner. We knew it was kinda pricey.
The restaurant is good, nothing impressive or elegant as I thought, but at least nice.
We ordered the spicy calamari with siracha sauce, to be honest the dish was small for two.
Then I had the salmon, with corn and risotto. Well, the salmon was delicious and the corn as well but the risotto… That was not risotto at all. Overcooked wite rice, it seemed more a rice purée than risotto. Really, the texture of the rice is very important and this ruined the whole dish. When you go to a pricey restaurant, you expect perfection in all sense… That’s the reason of my 3 stars

Went on a crowded and busy Friday night with no reservation and only had to wait 15 minutes! Super great service and simply amazing food. Ordered the Shrimp Scampi and a Pomegranate Mojito-​both to die for! Very friendly staff and warm & welcoming atmosphere. The outdoor patio is caressed with the sound of a small water fountain and tiny candles. Reasonably priced dishes-​totally worth it by the end of the meal. Highly recommend!

You cannot go here and not get the Pei Mussels! Make sure to get extra bread as you will want to soak up every drop!
All the food is excellent and is a very cozy dinner space for you and your partner.

Spent Mother’s Day weekend in Ogunquit with family and decided to try That Place based on the overwhelmingly positive Unilocal reviews. I’m so glad we did!
We had a party of 7 plus a baby and everyone left happy and full. I had the French onion soup, maple bacon wrapped scallops and the delmonico steak for my entrée. Everything was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. With the exception of my green beans that were overcooked but still tasted great so I gobbled them up.
Service was good. As expected they were busy, it took some time for our entrées to be served and we had to ask our waitress twice for more water. This is a minor critique not a complaint. We understood the delay and we’re happy to spend time together.
Dinner was a bit on the pricy side but we’ll worth the money. We will be going here again!

The welcoming service was great. We came in late on Mother’s day (night). So happy this place doesn’t roll up early. Drinks were good. Apps were jumbo shrimp, fresh with a snap; fried calamari so good with a spicy sauce; pork belly, and bacon wrapped scallops were cooked to perfection. Filet mignon served with mashed potatoes and winter squash, all delish. Turkey, bacon, avocado sandwich was a mouthful of yum. The seafood in the spicy red sauce was fabulous. Everyone happy. It was both comfortable and fine dining. See you next time.

What a fantastic place here in Ogunquit. I am not a big one on ranking places 1, 2 or 3 or proclaim them to be THE BEST in town or nothing else can come closer and euphemisms as such. That Place is definitely a fine dining experience that stands out and shines bright like a diamond (yes, I quote Rihanna!) when the conversation comes about great eats north of and not too far from Boston, MA. And having experienced quite a few of the best of beantown restaurants, I would go to the extent of saying, this place called That Place is simply in a league of it’s very own.
The ambiance is what catches your attention right away. Very demure and sophisticated, it is perfect for big groups or an intimate, romantic dinner alike. There is a bar right next to the entrance on the right section of the restaurant which seems to get quite popular as the hours go by. You can hear the cheering and all.
The other half of the restaurant is much more quieter and as I said, more for couples and intimate group setting. The food was really good. We ordered a bunch of apps before our main courses. Calamari, Nachos, Cocktail Shrimp, and more. Even the house bread and sweet butter — oh yum. You could tell their focus is on quality while maintaining the quantity.
For my main course, I got the special of the day which was a Boned in Filet Mignon, lobster meat, corn and garlic mash. Everything was good. The steak was cooked medium rare as I like it and not chewy. The lobster meat was fresh — dipped in not too much butter. The veggies were lightly seasoned.
The service was great and our waitress was very nice. We did call ahead to make reservations which was a good thing to do because the place was packed. Overall, I couldn’t find anything that I would have hoped could be improved or had been better. That Place is just the place you should be at for a good meal and a great ambiance.

Tried this restaurant for the first time (thanks to Unilocal) earlier in December when I was in Ogunquit for Christmas by the Sea. It is definitely now a favorite restaurant of mine in the area!
We had a girls weekend and we started off the dinner with some great martini specials. They had an eggnog martini, and I got one of their signatures that was something fruity and very tasty.
We put a reservation in but we got there much earlier and they still sat us right away. The servers were attentive and quick the entire night. For my meal I got the french onion soup to start, and my sister and I split the fried chicken with honey. O M G it was so droolworthy. I can still taste it and can’t wait to get back to get it again! The french onion soup was also great, but the potatoes and chicken were just out of this world.
Everybody was very, very happy with their meals. The bread we got before dinner was super fresh and we weren’t waiting for water refills for a minute.
It’s a great little place, so be sure to visit! Also, free valet parking makes it so easy on that tricky road to park.

Le Steakhouse d’Ogunquit! Pour un excellent steak cuit a la perfection avec des accompagnements savoureux. Facture moyennement salée, mais une belle expérience culinaire!
