Best Contemporary American Restaurants in York Beach

We dined again at Davids last night. We like sitting at the counter where you're able to watch all the action in the kitchen and see the meals as they get picked up by the servers. Husband loves the open faced lobster ravioli, nice and light creamy sauce. I had the Haddock special with the lemon bure blanc (sp?) sauce w/capers. It was really good. We will return!

Earth is amazing. The food is so fresh and presentation is beautiful. The service is outstanding, and the courses served just the right time apart from each other. It feels like you are dining in the most upscale lodge imaginable. We will be back!!

This was a celebratory birthday lunch for two. We were promptly seated in our requested preferred location. The window-side views are unparalleled just about anywhere. Both the host and server greeted my wife by name and wished her a happy birthday. Service from Kate was professional and most friendly. Food was quite tasty. If I had to dig for a criticism, my wife's lobster and corn chowder was served at the same time as her lobster role. We did not think we needed to specify chowder first. I think the kitchen should have known better. This is not an everyday dining room, and if you're looking for a value meal, the value is in the extraordinary atmosphere and bold ocean view. This is truly a special occasion venue. We would do it again in a heartbeat.

Lovely dinner, excellent service, perfect setting for a casual holiday get together. Thank you for the champagne toast!

We booked the Truffle Dinner “ Experience” and that is was. It was right after Prelude and it was quiet and truly romantic! We’ve never had a bad meal here, but this was on another level. The appetizer was grilled octopus sliced carpaccio style with drizzled balsamic and herbs with a truffle/olive tapenade the kicker was melon! I know. But is was fresh and flavorful. A poached oyster dish was served with a butter herb linguine topped with black truffle that could transport you to New Orleans in an instant. We loved it. The main was a filet, with purple asparagus and of course black truffle, which was a tender and perfectly prepared delight. My husband enjoyed the wine pairing, which was done so thoughtfully for each course it enhanced the flavors of each dish. I enjoyed a custom prepared cocktail served up, in just the right glass. Dessert was delicious chocolate truffles house made. Our compliments to the hosts, manager and definitely the chef, who made our date night truly special. Can you do this once a month? :)
