3 Magnificent Restaurant Views in Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts Made a National List

Which would you rather have: incredible views during your dining experience, or excellent decor and food?  For me, if I'm eating a mouthwatering lobster roll while overlooking the water on a picnic table from a food truck, I'm happy purely because of the view.  That in itself is memorable.  Of course, if the food was horrendous, I'd probably still go back for the view, but stick with liquid deliciousness only. Anyway, my point is that views can make a difference for so many of us when it comes to dining out.  It's not so much that we seek them out, but when we find a restaurant with a view, we tend to return because it's such a feast for the eyes.

Hawaiian Islands decided to look into the restaurants in each state that have the most breathtaking views.  The simple study comes from Tripadvisor, and mentions that to absolutely no one's surprise, views from skyscrapers and the waterfront top the list.

New Hampshire

Surf in Portsmouth took home the most beautiful views for the Granite State.  It is a popular fine dining place with stunning views of the water. The restaurant is situated right on Martingale Wharf on the famous Bow Street, where the decks are everything in the late spring, all summer, and most of fall.

Just scrolling at the Tripadvisor reviews, you see nothing but five stars for the food and waterfront views.

Massachusetts

Rooftop Boston views or even the Berkshires didn't top the list for the Bay State.  I'm not too surprised, because I was expecting waterfront for here. Instead, we have to travel to Martha's Vineyard for the most beautiful view in Massachusetts.

The Seafood Shanty in Edgartown is a totally casual waterfront restaurant that garnered top reviews for its sweeping water views on Tripadvisor, according to the Hawaiian Islands research.

Maine

Reading Room Restaurant and Oasis Club Lounge at the Bar Harbor Inn is so jaw-dropping and exquisite that there are no words. The views say it all.

With comments about its stunning atmosphere, perfect service, and exceptional views according to Tripadvisor, it's no wonder it virtually has all five-star ratings.
