What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Rose Cove Ogunquit receives high praise for its excellent food, particularly seafood like lobster rolls, and its exceptionally friendly and welcoming staff. The ambiance, enhanced by outdoor seating with personal fire pits, is a major draw. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few diners noted minor issues with seasoning on some dishes or found certain items to be a bit pricey for the quality.
"Highly Recommended. The restaurant has very good ambience, everybody in the resto was really approachable and welcoming. Plus the food was great. The cocktails and drinks served in the bar are exceptional - it’s a must-try! Would definitely come and visit again! My New Fave Place In Maine."

"Excellent, friendly staff.
They helped direct us to the short term parking a short walk away. Also gave us advice on where dog friendly places were in the area.
I was thrilled they were very accommodating of being dog friendly. They made sure we had a bench space with plenty of room for us. I loved how they had some good shade for the outdoor seating. If it were cooler, then the firepit in front gave a lot of good warmth.
The Baked Scallops was good, but I was hoping for incredible. They could have gotten a little fancier with more butter/seasoning for the Ritz Crackers topping.
I had the Broccoli Salad as my side and that was extremely delicious! Also, it was neat to have a fudge sample when entering the place. Very neat that they also sell fudge here."

"The spot is super cute and the staff are sweet but the food wasn’t it. I took a clam chowder and there was almost only potatoes in it. My friend had the hamburger and there was no condiment in it or next to it. The other plates we tried honestly were just ordinary and pricy. There a little fire place where we can sit and that was pretty."
