"Three of us for Mothers day, great food , good service, to noisy but thats to be expected, not happy about seating.
On my reservation specifically asked for a table not in the middle of floor or foot traffic ( mother is 82 ) and that is exactly what we got right next to the servers table where they enter orders there were at least four at at time at the station, and the aisle for all servers to travel back and forth from the kitchen on the first floor. Peach Sangria was the best , they should bottle it an sell it."

"A seafood restaurant. Upscale from Warrens, Westhervane and Newicks, but it is still a seafood house. Loud and overpriced. The service was slow, but pleasant. Oysters were fresh and freshly shucked, but not cleanly shucked. Not at all.
Fish portion was small, but good.

They were accommodating with a child's meal, which was great."

"I will probably never know whether this restaurant's claim to serving the best fish and chips in Maine is deserved or not. I've stopped looking, after being served a huge piece of excellent haddock – like halibut in its quality, which is rare for haddock in my experience. It had a perfect crust that rivaled the best tempura. The french fries and cole slaw were OK but could be improved.
My wife had the best piece of baked haddock she's ever eaten, and her rice accompaniment was "perfectly cooked".
Our server was excellent.
We had a nice view of tidal Spruce Creek, which is occasionally frequented by ospreys and other interesting birds.
Don't let the busy shopping scene on Route 1 deter you from turning in here."

"This was my first experience.at Robert"s. my son has been raving about this place for quite some time, I figured it must be good for him to travel from new Boston nh to kittery, me . Well over an hour's drive and he's been to robert's well over a half dozen times.. The waitress was exceptional, I wish I could remember her name. Perhaps you can figure it out . Our reservations were for 1:00pm. She was a real pro and an asset to your organization. There were seven of us and the service by all was very attentive, prompt and served with a smile. The food served ranged from fried clam and beer battered chicken fingers for appetizers and everything from burger's,pot roast, clam chowder,seafood chowder, and kid meals. No doggy bags . Well done"

"I just love Robert's. Five of us, all old friends, met for lunch and everyone commented on how happy we were to have found this place a few years back. The food is always great, the service was professional but not stuffy, and we all love the light filled interior. Local foods, helpful staff, ideal surroundings."

"A little pricey, however, with real good food above average service,very fresh seafood and sizable portions, Robert's Maine Grill should not be missed. Appetizers; Shrimp cocktail-jumbo full of flavor didn't need cocktail sauce & crab cakes were good, not great. Entrees; Fish & Chips, fresh, tasty and massive portion. Sauteed Shrimp & Scallops & Linguine this is the dish--Rich, fresh and full of flavor! Seafood pie was good and lobster roll very good w/two sizes available. For dinner, go with the larger size.
If you are a lover of Muscles, a half dozen varieties are available.
Dessert provides a nice variety and uniquely offers full sized and bite sized for a taste.
Give Robert's a try, you won't be disappointed."

"The hostess was very nice and seated us on time (I had made a reservation via Open Table earlier in the day).
We were seated by a window - the windows are single pane and there was a draft so it was a little cold. Service was
Good - nice waitress and attentive. Chowder was excellent, meals were good. There was some sticker shock
when we got the bill but the alcohol is expensive. The seafood pot pie was good but not worth the price.
We liked the fact that you could get half a dessert. Overall a nice evening out but for the money, I'd try someplace
else before I'd go back. Prices were more akin to Boston, not Kittery.

The food was good but the steak was somewhat fatty and the fried shrimp are the small variety, not butterfly shrimp. The shrimp for the shrimp cocktail was large and very fresh. Margarita was on the sour side. In the Kittery Maine area this is one of the better restaurants. Would go back again but not order the steak."

"Great quality, finely prepared, excellent flavor in all. Very healthy portions. Have other items on the menu I will go back to try. Despite being in a tourist area, great place to have an excellent meal"
