Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Westbrook

Excellent as usual! We’ve never had a bad meal here and the wine is excellent!

Fantastic meal. Kayla was our waitress and she was so wonderful bubbly and attentive.

Our dinner with friends at The Essex was beyond expectations. Service was friendly, knowledgeable, and well paced. We opted for the three course price fixe and were pleasantly surprised by the appetizer course we were served before the salad course. At $79 per person the dinner was very reasonably priced for the quality and quantity. Our first and main courses were outstanding. My strip steak perfectly cooked to medium rare and the whole table enjoyed the frites. The halibut and scallops along with the sauces and vegetables were excellent. Dessert choices were very generous although I hit my limit after a few bites of the baked Alaska. The menu was heavy on seafood which restricted our friend who has a fish and shellfish allergy. But once aware of that and a nut allergy, every dish was carefully adjusted for nuts. Dining at the Essex is a wonderful treat. We will be back.

Always a pleasure! Yummy choday & calamari. Thank you.

Food and staff are Great! Will not disappoint...
