Fiddlers' Green

Maine native chef Derek Wilbur's bistro is a big hit, and you'll understand why once you've tried his creative lobster interpretations ("Ocean with Cow" is fab as are the lobster enchiladas) to small plates of Thai-curried shrimp, fried catfish, grilled merguez, and baby back ribs. The restaurant is set in a former handsome home; we always try and get a seat out in the lush garden. A final perk: free and abundant parking.
