Vacation in Maine - A Jewel of a Restaurant

My wife and I are very fond of eating lobster and Maine is an excellent venue for exercising this fondness.  One of the restaurants we would like to frequent this weekend is called the Lobster Shack at Two Lights.  It is located in the town of Cape Elizabeth.

It is extremely rewarding to be able to introduce our children to these culinary and social experiences.  I don't recall coming close to a pier or lobster shack as a child. This vacation should also provide fodder for some interesting stories for my eldest son to tell his classmates once he gets back to school this fall.

Our Week 3 contest put some of the prettiest places to put down a plate. Nearly a thousand people cast ballots for the Best Outdoor Dining Spot in New England from among five finalists. In the end, it was the Lobster Shack at Two Lights, in Cape Elizabeth, Maine holding off a late charge from J.T. Farnham's in Essex, Mass. to claim the crown.

When the votes were tallied, the Lobster Shack won 36% of the vote, to 34% for J.T. Farnham's. Michael's Harborside in Newburyport, Mass. pulled in the third place trophy, while Chauncey Creek Lobster House in Kittery, Maine and Stephanie's on Newbury in Boston rounded out the Top 5.

The Lobster Shack at Two Lights (Cape Elizabeth, Maine) -- 36%
J.T. Farnham's (Essex, Mass.) -- 34%
Michael's Harborside (Newburyport, Mass.) -- 18%
Chauncey Creek Lobster House (Kittery, Maine) -- 10%
Stephanie's on Newbury (Boston, Mass.) -- 2%
