klawrencio79 eagles nest in brewer maine is where i had the best lobster roll.   Looks a little too mayonnaise-y for my tastes, but the lobster pieces themselves look excellent! One thing I don't like is when they finely chop the meat to hide the fact that it's all tail, and loaded with other crap to make it look like more than it is. I had 5 in total on my trip. The best one I had was at this place Eventide Oyster Co. in Portland, which was just a phenomenal little restaurant that had a unique twist on a lot of traditional New England seafood fare. Their lobster roll was unlike any other I've had - it was warm (I prefer cold generally) but was served on a bao bun, rather than a hot dog roll. It also had this furikake based sauce on it, in addition to the butter on the bun. It was something else. A little small, but this was a place where two people would get 6-8 dishes and share them. They had oysters that were A+ and in addition to the mignonette, they served it with shaved, frozen kombucha which was lovely. They had tuna tartate with a melon garnish, a peanut noodle salad, basically everything had a slightly Asian undertone. It was fucking awesome. Best meal of the trip. We had some other great lobster rolls, more of the traditional variety, but the best one I had after Eventide was at a random, hole-in-the-wall diner we popped into on the south side of Mount Desert Island (south of Bar Harbor). They had this gargantuan lobster roll that was loaded with the freshest of meat. I'd drive back right now for one. Yeah, I'm a butter over mayonnaise lobster roll person myself, but I'm not going to be too picky - - it's lobster either way. My honeymoon was in Maine. I did a little too much lobster bisque taste testing - - my right big toe was not a fan!
