Academe At The Kennebunk Inn
We want a place that feels like home.
This continues to be the driving philosophy that owners Brian and Shanna OHea strive to maintain at Academe on a daily basis. Although it is common for a restaurant to want their guests to feel at home, the OHeas take the concept a step further by thoughtfully preparing foods inspired by their travels and the kind of cuisine they enjoy on their day off.
It is a well-balanced effort that is illustrated beautifully by a dish of citrus-crab ravioli. Brian makes the pasta dough with lemon segments and zest, while Shanna puts together the filling of crab and mascarpone, which is livened up with a hint of lemon juice. The ravioli is tossed with shrimp, mussels, and an aromatic and indulgent sauce of heavy cream, Cointreau, and a touch of Madras curry and sage. The dish was inspired by our first trip to Greece, says Brian. We were completely blown away by the manner in which citrus was consistently utilized to elevate the dishes without overpowering them. He adds that by the end of this particular excursion they were so stimulated they were literally scribbling down ideas for recipes before even getting up from the table. Traveling consistently re-energizes Brian and Shanna, in regards to their business. Every time we experience something new, says Brian.

Here Are 10 Steps For You To Follow When You Make Lobster Pot Pie:
Maine Lobster Pot Pie
By: Foodness Gracious, sponsored by the Maine Lobster Marketing Collaborative
Serves 6
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 2 sticks butter, cold
- 1/4 cup plus 3 tbsp ice cold water
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 tbsp all purpose flour
- 3 cups chicken or veggie stock
- 1 1/2 cups diced potato
- 2 cups frozen mixed veggies
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp fresh chopped rosemary
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 cups roughly chopped cooked Maine Lobster meat
- 1 egg, beaten
Preheat the oven to 400 degree F. Lightly butter an 8 qt size baking dish
Place the flour in a large bowl and grate the butter into it
Add the salt and gently mix together with your fingers
Add the cold water and mix until the dough forms and comes together to form a ball
Once the dough is in a ball, cover with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes in the fridge
In a large pan melt the butter and whisk in the flour until the mixture starts to turn golden in color.
Gradually add the stock whisking after each addition and removing any lumps
Once all of the stock has been added and the sauce has thickened, add the potatoes and veggies and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Add the garlic powder, rosemary, salt, pepper and heavy cream, stir well
Gently fold in the cooked lobster to the pot pie filling and transfer to your prepared baking dish
Roll the pastry out so it is big enough to cover the baking dish with some hanging over the sides of the dish
Tuck the pastry into the sides of the pie dish making sure to allow plenty of pastry to prevent it shrinking as it cooks

Review Of Academe At The Kennebunk Inn
Another great meal in Kennebunk. Try the lobster pot pie, which has received national recognition or the fish fry. Both wonderfully Maine!
118 – 122 of 141 reviews
I ordered a salad for 8.00 and added chicken to it for another $5. The portion was tiny. The tiny bed of lettuce had a sprinkling of cranberries, cheese, and pistachios on it. The small portion of chicken was bland and boring. The dressing was had a heavy overtone of vinegar. The decor was uninspiring. I was still hungry after my lunch.

The salad I ordered was uninspired and the leaves weren’t so fresh. The lobster pot pie was supposed to be incredible, but had barely any meat in it and was all cream and liquidy. The two pieces of potato in it were barely cooked through. There were barely any vegetables in it. The short ribs were overpriced at $27 dollars and the “ribs” were one rib which was all fat with two bones falling to the the side of it — barely anything to eat. The service was slow and I had to ask the server to wipe the sticky table down, then I had to ask her to dry it off as she left it sopping wet. The food took forever to come. By the time the meal finally arrived we couldn’t wait to get out of there.
