The Front Yard Restaurant

The Front Yard Restaurant is a family-owned Mediterranean restaurant in Ogunquit, run by three partners who worked in local restaurants for years before opening it. The menu leans on seafood, with the house bouillabaisse as the signature dish: shrimp, scallops, white fish, mussels, clams and homemade pappardelle in a saffron tomato broth, topped with half a Maine lobster. Chef Guillermo Ocampo-Memo leads the kitchen, and the lineup also includes flatbreads, pastas, steaks and a Maine lobster roll.

The restaurant takes reservations through its website and by phone, and it offers gift cards and private events. Lunch and dinner menus are both posted online, and the kitchen can accommodate gluten-free and dairy-free requests on several dishes. The restaurant sits on Main Street in Ogunquit, a short walk from the village's beaches.
