Reviews for Nikanos Mediterranean Bar & Grille in Ogunquit, ME
Great food and drink with a great atmosphere and super awesome owners and staff. They have quickly become a local favorite. Make... sure you catch them for a Greek night! The braised lamb shank is the best dish in town! Read more
My wife and I essentially had a feast here. We started with the avgolemono, which was lighter than I'm used to with a great... flavor from the chicken. We then tried the spinach pie, which isn't for everyone, but is one of my favorites and it too wasfantastic. Our entrees were the lemon chicken and the lamb shank. Both of these were delicious and the portions were large.Lastly, we had some custard pie for dessert, which was a perfect ending to a great meal. It was fresh out of the oven with ahint of orange from the infused simple syrup they use to cover the pie. Absolutely delicious. Read more
It was ok. The “steak bomb” was just average sandwich. Drinks were ok, (lemonade was way ti sweet). Service was also just... ok. Read more
I very rarely write reviews, but felt this one was necessary! My husband, 8 month old son and I ate lunch there and everything... was great. The atmosphere was fun. It was a sunny, but cool day so we sat outside with a heater next to us and there was livemusic playing. The waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and was able to provide risk free recommendations for my dairyand soy allergy…and confirmed with the kitchen that everything was prepared properly. The food was great! We will definitelybe back! Read more
As most of the restaurants in the area are already closed for the season, my wife and I came across this place. What a nice... surprise! Every dish was very tasty and flavorful. We shared the "yesterday soup", mezze of hummus, tzatziki and bean paste,and the stuffed grape leaves. For the main dish we had the Mediterranean salad and the spiced lamb flatbread. Read more
The place to dine in Ogunquit, Maine. We visited Nikanos for the first time after reading favorable reviews. For starters I... ordered the mussels which were the best I've ever had. What flavor and the sauce was made with a delicate ouzo recipe. Mycompanion had the grilled octopus over a mixture of beans, tomatoes and potatoes which were simply delicious. For entrees Iordered the braised lamb shank and the better half ordered the fish of the day which was branzino. Again both were wonderful andbursting with flavor. The service was great...our waiter Christian was doing double duty as a bartender but was up for the task.Our host, Mark and Jennifer, who are also the owners, were very present and friendly and checked in on us often even though itwas a very busy night. We were not disappointed in Nikanos and will definitely return. We were very happy to see how bustling itwas dispite Covid-19. We wish them continued success. Stop by and see for yourselves. You will be back as we will also. As oftoday the 22nd of August I have been back three times. Each time better than the last. Mark and Jennifer show there pride in avery vibrant and upcoming establishment. I commend them and the entire staff for dedication to a successful business. On July30th, 2021 I had the pleasure to return to this very successful establishment. it was nice to be greeted by Jennifer and thenMark owners of the Fine Dining restaurant. The service staff and most importantly the executive chef continued with thereexpertise of taking care of the customer. The meals were superb and most satisfying. No matter what you decide to order you willhappy with your selections. The mussels, lamb shank, chicken dish are to die for. Not to mention desserts. Come and be satisfiedin service, food, and a place you can back to. Over and over again. They also have nightly entertainment. P.S. If Ali orChristian are tending bar. You are in fabulous hands.

The food was pretty good. The lobster pasta dish was good. The spanakopita was also good. The Greek salad was fresh. The very... pleasant hostess found two seats at the bar to eat in this booked up restaurant. The male bartender was terrific, though thecouple to our side laughed at how the female bartender completely ignored us and only paid attention to the alcohol drinkers(not professional, not nice).
