Reviews Summary

Diners consistently praise The MAINE for its amazing ambiance, delicious seafood, and attentive service, making it a highly recommended spot for various occasions. While the lively atmosphere is a draw for many, some find the music to be excessively loud, hindering conversation. Overall, the food quality and vibrant vibe are major highlights, creating memorable dining experiences.

"The limited brunch menu was very good, I enjoyed every course. Service was good and generally enjoyed the atmosphere as well. My only complaint would be the live entertainment. Although the music was good and the ladies were very talented, I'm more of a low key "music in the background" bruch fan. I would definitely return and recommend, especially if you enjoy the borderline party/club brunch vibe."

Wandering Wild Free

"I loved that place! Amazing greasy oysters and service is on top! Javier was taking care of me and I’m impressed by his attention to details kindness and exceptional service. Amazing vibe and great music. Highly recommend this place for ladies night or even lunch"

Ksenia Akhmetova

"I had the most wonderful experience at The MAINE in JBR! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the chic yet relaxed vibe – it feels like a perfect blend of a New England brasserie with Dubai’s vibrant energy. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and the staff made me feel truly welcome.

The food was absolutely outstanding – fresh oysters, perfectly cooked seafood, and delicious cocktails that really set the mood. I loved how every dish was presented beautifully and tasted even better than it looked. Sitting by the terrace with the JBR atmosphere around made it even more special.

It’s definitely one of those places where you can enjoy both a casual lunch with friends or a stylish evening out. I left feeling so satisfied and can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food, great vibes, and great service in Dubai!"

Oysters That You NEED To Try To Get Your Juices Flowing!

From their stylish tiled wall emblazoned with the words ‘Shuck Me’ (where you have to get a photo) to their light and industrial interior – The Maine Oyster Bar and Grill is one of the hottest new restaurants to see and be seen in right now. And as you would tell from the name, they do oysters – served ‘bloody Mary style’ very well indeed. Prices begin at AED120 for half a dozen, but we think you’ll be after more than that.
