Cook's Lobster House, Bailey Island, Maine (****)

Okay, this one is a bit overdue, considering it was a place Adam and I went to on our honeymoon back in March, but we feel it warrants a post anyway... Cook's Lobster House, home of lots and lots... and lots of lobster! I admit, the week we spent in Maine, we felt obligated to scour the state for the best of their bragging rights, and we weren't disappointed. Although the Breakwater Cafe at the Samoset Resort in Rockport had the best lobster corn chowder (so good, we still wish we'd had it for every meal until they suspiciously "ran out"... that was a sad day), Cook's just felt like a lobster house and their menu simply reinforced the feeling. I ordered what I considered something traditional (boiled lobster tails, shown below), while Adam opted for something a little more contemporary (stuffed lobster tails). Both were quite yummy and came with sides of crispy french fries and tasty coleslaw. One should not worry about leaving this place hungry. Prices were variable, as typical with most seafood, but not terrible. If there were one thing we wish we'd done differently, it would have been to order the 4lb steamed lobster... because frankly, that would just be fun to see ;)
