Hurricane

The Kennebunks’ fine-dining old guard, Hurricane hasn’t missed a step in some three decades. Lunch might start with a cup of lobster chowder, small plates of carpaccio or mussels, a lobster Cobb salad, or oysters Rockefeller; the main course could be a Cubano sandwich or a “Maine Surf & Turf” burger (with lobster meat, natch). Local seafood shines among the dinner entrees, which run to such items as a Mediterranean-inflected, lobster-based cioppino, roasted garlic shrimp, or terrific seared scallops with quinoa. Finish with desserts such as vanilla bean crème brûlée, legit Maine blueberry pie, panna cotta, or s’mores.
