Welcome To Alisson's...Celebrating 35 years of casual excellence in Kennebunkport, Maine.

Located in the heart of Kennebunkport's Dock Square, Alisson's Restaurant has become known to both locals and visitors as the place to experience casual excellence.

Start with top quality seafood served in a casual, relaxed atmosphere, add legendary service and a dedication to each and every guest and you have Alisson's recipe for success.

While the basic concept of Alisson's is enticing, it is the execution of this idea which keeps people coming back. The menu consists of seafood entrees, steak, burgers, pastas, salads, and sandwiches, plus daily specials.

The enthusiasm of the staff plays a large role in the success of Alisson's. The staff, most of whom have been with the restaurant for more than five years, go out of their way to make guests feel welcome.

So you see it's no accident that Alisson's has the best seafood, steaks, and service in town while remaining a neighborhood pub.

Alisson's began in November of 1973 when a local couple, Beatrice and Francis Condon, purchased the former Smith's Market and Chat & Chew Restaurant. The market was renamed Dock Square Market and a family contest was begun to rename the restaurant. B and Fran's oldest grandchild, Alisson, was often sung a rendition of Arlo Guthrie's classic "Alice's Restaurant" by her Uncle Scott and a unanimous family decision was made that our version, "Alisson's Restaurant", fit the new family business perfectly. Dock Square Market and Alisson's Restaurant became instant local favorites.

Alisson's remained a small 35-seat establishment until 1984, when B and Fran's eldest son and daughter, Mike and Pam (mother of Alisson), bought the business. It was at that time that Dock Square Market was closed and Alisson's expanded into that building, adding a bar and dining room on the main floor, and a 50-seat dining room upstairs.

Over the years, more remodeling and upgrading has taken place, but Alisson's will always remain what it was when we began - a popular gathering place for locals with a casual family atmosphere.

When you visit, it is inevitable that you will bump into part of our family - aunts, uncles, grandchildren, siblings and cousins abound - who are always happy to fill you in on historical details we may have missed. And in case you are wondering, Alisson, her husband Steve, son Christopher, and daughters Lauryn and Leah live in Bow, NH.
