With an appealing menu, a lovely setting, and great attention to each detail, Stripers offers a gracious, relaxed fine-dining experience. Located within the Breakwater Inn and Spa, it is approximately 1 mile from Dock Square's shops and galleries; it is waterside, with 15 pairs of French doors, affording marvelous views of the Kennebunk River. The décor is that of a contemporary seaside cottage, with a soft green banquette along one wall, blue with green piping chair covers, steel-rimmed tabletops, and a see-through aquarium wall that divides the entry from the main dining room. The seafood cuisine includes options such as local Kennenunkport oysters, farm-raised stiped bass, halibut, and scallops.
