The Maine Oyster Bar & Grill is Dubai’s first homegrown New England Seaside Brasserie. I don’t know what the folks at the DoubleTree in JBR smoke in their teepee but I want some; so many of their gigs are smash hits – Maine, Ramusake, Copper Dog, and of course, Stereo Arcade.
The interior of Maine could have been designed by Ralph Lauren, it is the epitome of dressed-down, East Coast elegant…with a little seaside thrown-in. This applies to the outdoor terrace as much as the indoor bar and dining area.
I’ve only been to Maine for lunch, relishing the amazing value of their business lunch deal as much as the meal itself, and for drinks on another occasion in the evening – superb. Add to this, excellent service and you have a very special restaurant indeed – worth a detour.
Waste NOT. Want NOT.
