Yellowfin's Restaurant, Old Orchard Beach

Delicious meals with wonderful presentation and special attention to details. I have had several family birthdays here and no matter how big or small the party is Dave does a wonderful job.. This is one of Old Orchard Beach's best kept secrets! Try it! You will not be disappointed!

Each and every time my husband and I eat there or I go there with other friends and family, we have a wonderful experience. We like the beach casual but still elegant ambience, service is always excellent, and food is scrumptious. What more could you want in a dining experience? In addition, it is always nice to be able to bring your own bottle of your favorite wine...And, on a beautiful evening, there is nothing like going for a walk on the beach, which is just steps away. In fact, we like it there so much; we celebrated our intimate beach wedding at Yellowfin's - married on the beach and then, a wonderful reception at the restaurant with our closest family and friends... Hope you enjoy your time there as much as we have!

My wife and I ate here to night, food was fantastic, the service was great and friendly, I'm heading back there for Sunday brunch. It's a simple little restaurant with a dacor that really works, the owner should be proud of him self, the food is presented like it comes from a high class New York restaurant with a small town price.

I ate here with 10 friends tonight and every one came away thrilled with their experience. The restaurant is simple but fresh and appealing with a gorgeous aquarium as a focal point. And the food was excellent. The service too was attentive and it was reasonably priced for what you got. We all want to go again.

My husbvnd and I love the Yellowfin Restaurant in Ocean Park. Living in Old Orchard Beach it is great to have such a charming, neat and clean restaurant so close to us. The food is great and the waitstaff is very friendly and efficient. Our favorites are salmon, tuna, rack of lamb, steak and the house salad with a raspberry dressing. Of course all the desserts are yummy! You will be very happy you tried this adorable eatery.

Amazing. After a transition to new ownership, Yellowfin has become my new favorite local spot for a great meal. This atmosphere is open, clean, and inviting, and the waitstaff is incredibly friendly and attentive, yet distant enough to allow conversation and wine to flow without hovering. BYOB is a great way to save some money, and the food was absolutely delicious. An added bonus is the option for kids, and all of the dishes are very reasonably priced. The chef came to our table after our dinner to see how things were- he was a fabulous. For year-round residents of the Ocean Park area, it is a treat to have Yellowfin right down the street. It's also not too shabby of a location, being about 10 footsteps from the most beautiful sandy beach in Maine.

We had been to Yellowfin’s once before during the summer of 2007 and left feeling the meal was mediocre and not becoming of the atmosphere the restaurant projected. Having read some of the negative reviews, we were a little tentative about going back for a second try. Once again, we found the restaurant clean, neat and well decorated – not overly done by any means and very comfortable from the music to the high quality linen table cloth to the nice flatware. We each chose an entrée that came with a salad for starters, which was excellent, fresh and flavorful, accompanied by home-made crusty French bread with a side of Kate’s home-made local butter – it’s nice to see support of local industry. Our meals were excellent; presentation was A+++, while the food was hot, flavorful and of generous portion. I had the chicken Marsala which was juicy and strongly flavored with the wine and mushrooms, along with garlic mashed potatoes (excellent, with skins) and the vegetable of the day, buttered carrots, which were sweet and fresh as well. My wife ordered the penne pasta with vodka sauce and shrimp, which was spicy, tasty and plentiful, though my wife noted that the pasta was just a tad beyond al-dente, but not in any way poorly presented. We passed on the desert only because we were full, though the options sounded good for a summer evening – lemon meringue and key lime pie. As we were completing our meal, the chef/owner (David) asked how our meal was; I think it’s important and meaningful when the owner/chef approaches their ‘audience’ and asks for feedback. We had nothing but good things to say. He did mention that he took over the restaurant about two years ago, which we felt was responsible for the excellent meal. We felt that the price was very reasonable as well. We’ll be back.

The ambiance is worth 6 or 7 stars; the food averages around a 3; if you bring your own wine and good friends the whole experience is definately a 5!!!! Sometimes it is not always just about the food. And if you don't think the service is adequate please tell Dave the owner/cook - otherwise, how else can they improve?!
