The MAINE Oyster Bar & Grill Restaurant, JBR

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!

I recently checked out The Maine Oyster Bar in Dubai, and wow, what a fun night! The vibe was super lively, making it the perfect spot not just for a great meal, but also for dancing later on. I started off with their oysters, and let me tell you, they were incredibly fresh and delicious. Each one was just bursting with flavor!. As the evening went on, the place really came alive. The music was fantastic, and before I knew it, I was on the dance floor having a blast! The energy was contagious, and it felt like everyone was just enjoying the moment. The staff were really friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. If you’re in Dubai and looking for a spot where you can enjoy amazing seafood and dance the night away, The Maine Oyster Bar is definitely the place to go!

The Maine has always been one of Dubai’s most iconic spots for food and nightlife. From its chic, elegant atmosphere to its indulgent and carefully curated menu — every visit feels special. Whether you’re craving the world’s best seafood tacos, a perfectly truffled pizza, or fresh oysters, The Maine never disappoints. It’s the perfect place to unwind over a drink, bring your girl for a fun ladies’ night, and dance the night away to the beats of their resident DJ. At its heart, The Maine is where good vibes, great food, and quality time come together — a place to celebrate life with the ones you love.

Love the place and the vibe. Wednesdays are always popping and they play good music. Also, you can never go wrong with The Maine oysters - they are always so good. Same goes with the tacos and salmon starters that were so sumptuous. The staff as well were so accommodating and they ensured that they catered our needs all throughout the night. I would highly recommend this place if you wanna have a good time and want some free flowing drinks for ladies! 10/10 you will have a good night.

The brunch menu on Saturday was very good, I enjoyed every course. Service was good and generally enjoyed the atmosphere as well.i really enjoyed the live music and the ladies were very talented, I would definitely return and recommend, especially if you enjoy the borderline party/club brunch vibe.

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.

An unforgettable dining experience at The MAINE! Every time I visit The MAINE, I’m reminded why it’s one of Dubai’s most loved restaurants. The moment you walk in, you feel transported — the interior is effortlessly chic, with that signature blend of New England charm and Dubai sophistication. The lighting, the music, the service — everything feels balanced, elegant, and alive. The food deserves special praise. Whether it’s the oysters, the perfectly grilled sea bass, or their signature truffle pasta, every dish feels thoughtfully crafted, fresh, and full of flavor. The presentation is always on point — simple, yet refined. Their cocktails are another highlight: creative, balanced, and beautifully served (the “Maine Mule” is my personal favorite). Service here is exceptional — attentive but never intrusive. The staff really understand hospitality on a deep level: they make you feel like a welcome guest, not just another table.

I had the fish tacos along with some salads and drinks, everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was amazing, with live music and warm lighting that made the place feel both lively and relaxed. The service was very attentive and friendly. Definitely a spot I’d recommend and would love to visit again.
