Best Lunch Restaurants in Kittery

After a big mishap, with Instacart, on Christmas Eve that left my daughter and I without supplies for the Christmas dinner we had planned. On Christmas morning I was scrambling to find a place, that was open, and found Two-Fifty Market on Open Table and immediately booked a reservation for 2pm. It was a little bit of a drive for us but was well worth it. It was an all you can eat buffet and the food was quite good (especially the dessert). We are considering making it a new tradition. It is in a hotel and the lobby was beautifully decorated for Christmas. We spent about 2 and a half hours there and didn’t feel rushed at all. I would definitely recommend their Christmas dinner. It was lovely!

Our first visit was Christmas Eve and a wonderful experience started the moment we walked in the door. Between Alex and our server Chloe who couldn’t have been more lovely and the dinner it was fabulous. We will be back again very soon.

What a wonderful experience! The food was amazing. Marjorie, our server, was so friendly and helpful. I had the rigatoni, and my husband had hake fish dish. Also enjoyed a couple of spirits – Japanese whiskey and local bourbon.

Anneke Jans is a gem, especially on a cold, snowy evening. The valet service was much appreciated—it was seamless and made arriving in the frigid weather so much more comfortable. Inside, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service matched the setting. I ordered the special, a unique seafood dish, and it exceeded my expectations. It was hearty, hot, and absolutely delicious—exactly what I needed on such a chilly night. The flavors were well-balanced and thoughtful, showcasing the kitchen’s creativity. Overall, Anneke Jans delivered an exceptional experience. I’ll definitely return and recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy yet elevated dining experience.

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