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 at this pub 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
Thistle's, Bangor - An unusual opportunity to savor exquisite
Argentinean cuisine and wines. Interesting decor and great service. Perfect choice for a special occasion.
The Countryside, Corinth - great diner, save room for dessert!
Taste of India-68 Main St., Bangor There's a reason this place hasn't changed a bit it 20 years--there's absolutely nothing to do to improve on it. Authentic staff, food, atmosphere and excellent prices. I will visit here OFTEN and so should you!
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
China Light, Broadway, Bangor. Not great atmosphere but the food and prices more than make up for it. I've eaten here for years and can always depend on a great meal.
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
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!
