A Quintessential New England Meal

When visiting the in-laws in New Hampshire, it is tradition to take a trip to Robert's Maine Grill in Kittery, Maine, for lobster. The seafood is so fresh and the ambiance is so cozy. It is a perfect place for lazy meals and it is one of the few places that I feel utterly relaxed.

Set on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, Robert's is quintessential New England.


Coffered ceilings, natural wood floors and tables, and an open floor plan.



I love all the nautical detail in the restaurant! The tin pails, that hold silverware, menus, and napkins, are later used for dumping shells. I adore the linen curtains that look like sail cloth and are tied with rope.



A large plate of Steamers In Allagash White Beer. Delicious! Also, a side of crackers with salmon and dill spread served in a blue tin plate.


1 1/2 pound lobsters (again)! My husband is a pro at cracking while I still find it a little squeamish. Note the lack of bib. If you are ever in the area, I highly recommend catching a meal here and bring the camera!
