FOOD!
You can't travel without eating in a restaurant, and I love the experience of trying new food in restaurants that I have never visited. Sometimes I make a good choice and sometimes I don't and my reviews will reflect that! These are in no particular order, and some I frequent because they are local.

Maine:
   The Black Frog, Greenville - Hilarious menu, fun decor, perfect location,
server innatentive, food mediocre. I so wanted this to be great, but it didn't meet my expectations.
   Abel Blood's, Dover-Foxcroft - I've eaten here several times and have never had a bad meal or bad service.
   The Pickled Herring, Eastport - MUST stop to eat here! An unexpected surprise that won't soon be forgotten!
   Dysarts, Hermon-THE classic truckstop diner-GREAT food and value
   The Countryside, Corinth - great diner, save room for dessert!
   Moon Hing, Dover-Foxcroft-Excellent value, especially at lunch. Great service
   Govenor's, Bangor - Great breakfast-ask for Dean's table!
   China Way, Newport - good Chinese food, good service,  tacky decor
   Whig & Courier, Bangor - Excellent downtown eatery & Pub
   Muddy Rudder, Freeport and Brewer-one of few non-chain "date" restaurants-good seafood
   Moody's Diner, Waldoboro - extensive diner menu-lots of daily specials. Maybe I was there on a bad day, but I was dissapointed in the food. Peas were inedible and service inattentive.
   Lunt's Lobsterpound, Trenton - great food, good value, awful atmosphere
   Bear's Den, Dover-Foxcroft-nothing fancy, just good food and adequate service. Live bands in the lounge several nights a week.
   Noah's Landing, Dexter - decor a bit tacky, but a good diner, fair service and price
   Fisherman's Friend Restaurant, Stonington - A++ extensive menu, generous portions, great
      service and to-die for Scallop Stew! If you want mayo on your crabmeat roll, ask for it
      because you get 100% meat! Excellent value here.
Massachusetts
    Lowell Beer Works, Lowell - I was VERY impressed with the food, the decor and the service. Definately worth a
      future visit! Our waitress, Ashley was terrific-ask for one of her tables.
   King's Sub's, Andover - very good food--all 10 of us thought our meals were good.  Good menu.
New Hampshire
   Muddy Moose, N. Conway - has it all-good food,service and atmosphere-good beer menu too-definitely order the ribs!!!!
   Darby Field House Inn-VERY nice-great food, full bar, lovely dining room, great service.
   Beefside on Manchester Street in Concord - excellent fare, especially the beef dishes; large portions, ok service. Prices are  very reasonable.
New Brunswick
   Grand Manan Island - Galloways offers terrific food, great atmosphere and great service.
   Grand Manan Island - Sailor's Landing is better for breakfast than dinner; very traditional; offerings that are somewhat bland and a bit overpriced. The slide show on the wall of different spots on the Island are mesmerizing!
