Classical Maine fare gets an update on Chef John Shaw’s menu at The Boathouse Restaurant, in Kennebunkport. The restaurant, part of the Kennebunkport Resort Collection, is sited in The Boathouse Hotel. The site was last occupied by Davids KPT, which closed in late October.

Updates to the restaurant’s design include the addition of The Lobster Bar, which serves chilled Maine lobster tail, Maine lobster tacos, Maine oysters, scallop crudo, and similar fresh seafood.

Chef Shaw, a Kennebunk native, spent seven years in the kitchen at The Tides Beach Club, a KRC property on Goose Rocks Beach. His menu emphasizes fresh Maine seafood  and other locally sourced ingredients, often with Asian accents.

The Boathouse Restaurant, open daily, noon-9pm for lunch and dinner, has seating indoors as well as on a large deck hanging over the Kennebunk River.
