Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Tue, 27 Apr 2010 17:51:11 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2010-05/interact/10things/dining-water-view That was my first thought also. Nothing in Maine? Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Tue, 27 Apr 2010 18:48:09 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2010-05/interact/10things/dining-water-view We also vacation in Maine -- would be nice to know what might be available.

Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Tue, 27 Apr 2010 19:19:18 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2010-05/interact/10things/dining-water-view VERY Disappointed not to even see Maine listed! We have a beautiful coastline and some great places to eat. Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Tue, 27 Apr 2010 19:32:56 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2010-05/interact/10things/dining-water-view I actually scrolled through the list several times until it dawned on me that Maine had been left out. Not only do we have a beautiful coastline BUT we have the most of all the NE states! Perhaps YM meant no offense but... Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Tue, 27 Apr 2010 19:53:19 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2010-05/interact/10things/dining-water-view I looked for Maine also and was surprised not to see any listings. I would suggest The Reading Room at the Bar Harbor Inn in Bar Harbor, ME. The view is especially lovely at sunset and the food is wonderful.

Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Tue, 27 Apr 2010 20:41:43 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2010-05/interact/10things/dining-water-view WHAT HAPPENED TO MAINE?? More good waterfront eating than in all of the rest of New England. Have you tried Brown Brothers in Boothbay Harbor. Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Tue, 27 Apr 2010 21:40:14 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2010-05/interact/10things/dining-water-view I agree with the comments about Maine. The best place for lobster in the world! Bar Harbor has numerous places. I grew up in a Boston suberb and there are tons of great seafood places in the Boston area, too. There needs to be a better researched list for travellers. I think visitors to New England -- especially for the first time -- are looking for the quintessential New England favorites.

Right on Nanaquacket Pond, great clams. Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Tue, 27 Apr 2010 23:18:48 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2010-05/interact/10things/dining-water-view As midwesterners, we've been up and down the beautiful coast of Maine almost 48 summers and am amazed that you couldn't find a single place for eating. Maybe I need to stick with Downeast Magazine for our dining recommendations? Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Tue, 27 Apr 2010 23:55:13 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2010-05/interact/10things/dining-water-view They should have included the Lobster Pound in Lincolnville Beach, Maine. Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Wed, 28 Apr 2010 01:21:50 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2010-05/interact/10things/dining-water-view My husband and I wanted to treat ourselves for a special night out. We went to Ashworth by the Sea to eat in the dining room. It may be about the white tablecloths but the service was awful and the food was worse. By the way, there is no view of the water because of people, traffic and fences being in the way. Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Wed, 28 Apr 2010 01:37:28 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2010-05/interact/10things/dining-water-view A great restaurant is Seaglass in Salisbury, Ma. The service was a little slow but the food was worth the wait. Reasonable prices and wonderful ocean views from most tables. Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Wed, 28 Apr 2010 01:41:08 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2010-05/interact/10things/dining-water-view Maine is missing????? What were you thinking??? Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Wed, 28 Apr 2010 01:48:43 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2010-05/interact/10things/dining-water-view I would like to suggest the York Harbor Inn in York Harbor, Maine. It has two restaurants - both with beautiful views of the ocean. They are open for lunch and dinner 7 days a week and have a fabulous Sunday brunch. They also have some great specials for rooms on Travelzoo right now - the deals are too good to pass up. Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Wed, 28 Apr 2010 02:31:59 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2010-05/interact/10things/dining-water-view worth a mention is freeport lunch and lobster in freeport for all you daytrippers and ll bean devotees. and what about the lobster shack at two lights state park in cape elizabeth? right on the open ocean so the view is always spectacular along with terrific food. Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Wed, 28 Apr 2010 10:05:10 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2010-05/interact/10things/dining-water-view what can i say? you guys miss the boat. Maine has some of the best places to eat by the water. Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Wed, 28 Apr 2010 11:10:25 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2010-05/interact/10things/dining-water-view Stage Neck Inn and the Cliff House have amazing brunch on Sundays, both with fantastic views. We always have a hard time deciding. I'm sure their dinner menus are also fabulous. Why weren't they included???? Then there's all of Boothbay, Camden, Rockport, Rockland...what were you thinking or will they have their own issue as there are soooo many to choose from?????? Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Wed, 28 Apr 2010 12:43:42 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2010-05/interact/10things/dining-water-view We took Annie Coops advice on the What to do on a Winter's Day and ate breakfast in Marblehead. It's not an easy place to get to....but when we did arrive it had no view of the water....and horrid food. Yes, it was a local favorite, but I couln't figure out why. Then I almost killed myself going to the bathroom up the steepest, narrowest set of stairs, to arrive in an attic filled with cobwebs, storing beverages.....a most unhappy winter's morning.... Do you get paid to write these reviews????? Just wondering what your critia is?????

Up and down the coast we have countless wonderful restaurants - surely you could have listed at least one. Shame!

Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Wed, 28 Apr 2010 13:27:01 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2010-05/interact/10things/dining-water-view Thanks for using my photo! It was a thrill to see it! Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Wed, 28 Apr 2010 13:55:50 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2010-05/interact/10things/dining-water-view Ray\'s Seafood in Rye, NH gets my vote...Ocean in the front and Saltwater Marsh in the back. Amazing seafood...try their fried clams! And the sweetest little bar usually filled with locals to watch the Red Sox. The drive to get there is really nice as well...all along the ocean.

How about The Village Inn in Belgrade? Great food, overlooking Long Pond, the original for Golden Pond of the movie. Try their roast duck.

How about another list of just Maine places to eat on the water?? You owe it to your loyal Maine subscribers and those other subscribers who come and visit us...

We have many places from Maine in the issue--also right here on line. http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2010-05/food/restaurants-water-view/restaurants-maine Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Mon, 31 May 2010 21:04:52 +0100
