Customer Rating:  
Summary: Lousy guide
Comment: The idea of such a guide is great...but the result is lousy not to say something worse. This is supposed to be a food guide but you have no ratings! in addition you have no signs enabling you to know at first sight if a place mentionned is a luxury restaurant, a casual lobster place or a family hamburger cafe.
In addition to the negative side, no mention of wine list.
Out of the tens and tens of restaurant guides I have bought, this one is certainly the worst.

Summary: To Haute for me
Comment: I have lived in and have travelled to Maine for over 40 years and have a pretty good idea of both the local restaurant scene and the new commers. However, in a travel format I think the book should have focused more on the wonderful Seafood, Lobster Pounds and Clam shacks dotting the Maine coast. Yes they have some but give too much space to new wave cooking. If you are going to visit Maine I think you want the flavors of Maine, not spaqgheti alla carbonara.
This book missed the mark and excluded several of Main's best well known Lobster Pounds and Clam Shacks.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great guide... detailed... and inclusive a wide range of Maine Coastal Areas
Comment: Well worth getting for locals and visitors alike spending time on the Maine coast.
