My husband and I started an adventure up to Quebec City by stopping in Kittery, Maine for a little shopping and some lunch. We landed at Robert's Maine Grill. This restaurant is owned by the same people as Bob's Clam Hut which is a landmark in those parts.
Anyway, I ordered the fish and chips with sweet potato fries. My fried haddock was a very generous piece of beer battered haddock. It was golden brown, light, crispy and tender. I was very pleased with it and my husband was jealous. The sweet potato fries, although I had to pay an upcharge for them, were also crispy, tender and sweetly yummy. This meal, along with some iced tea, was perfect and really hit the spot.
My husband had a big bowl of haddock and corn chowder. It was a good broth and the flavor was fine..not a thick chowder, but not too watery either. I think he wished there was more fish in it, but otherwise he liked it.
My fish and chips cost $16 and I paid $2 for the sweet potato fries. The bowl of chowder was $8.00. The atmosphere was relaxed and casual. We ate on the second floor which is surrounded by windows and has a wonderful view of the water. This was my second time at this restaurant and I'd go again. Since this is an area with outlet shopping, there are a lot of chain restaurants and clam shacks. Robert's Maine Grill is a nice, upscale change of pace from all of those.
On a side note, they definitely need a bigger parking lot.
