Restaurant Suggestions: Bath and Cape Neddick
 

Hi-
We'll be staying one night in each of these towns; any suggestions for good places to eat? Thanks!

The Cape Neddick Inn used to be wonderful; I assume it still is. You'll be just a few minutes from Ogunquit, and there are many good restaurants there including Hurricane, Oarweed (casual), Jackies II, Barnicle Billy's for lobster, and others (do a search on this site). Can't help you with Bath.

One of the best restaurants in the country is in Ogunquit. Reservations a must. "Arrows"........for great food in a casual place, "hurricane" this place also had jazz brunches on Sundays but that day needs a reservation.

Researching a trip to S. Maine and found this cryptic advise:

How would you read this? Is "Arrows" one of the best restaurants in the country? It doesn't sound like its "Hurricane." If this refers to one of the truly best, surely someone can name it.

Arrows is the name of a very high end restaurant in Ogunquit
Hurricane is the name of another not quite as high end restaurant.

Just some unfortunate quotation marks at work there

Bath has Beal Street Bar B Que, a cute little place. There's a new steak place, I don't know the name. I'll probably think of some more in the morning. Unfortunately, Bath is not a great restaurant town.

Try J. R. Maxwell's, Bath, Maine. For lunch this past August, I had a "small" seafood salad that was really delicious, loaded with a lot of lobster, crab and other goodies. It was delicious and ample. (I wondered what the "LARGE" one would be like!) I recommend this place. (See their web site for location, etc.)
