Not exactly hidden, but certainly a gem. Upmarket enough to feel like an “occasion” but food and service both down-to-earth enough to be welcoming. Our last server was Joshua, who was the ideal blend of helpful, attentive, and unobtrusive. Joshua was focused and cheerful, and gave patient unhurried answers to any questions we asked. The Ideal server, really. The food was superb, as usual. Enjoyed a terrific Brussels sprouts and kale Caesar, with my house favorite escargot as starters. My dinner companion had the half-tower of seafood, while I had the pork tenderloin gnocchi special. All first-rate. If you haven’t eaten here it is absolutely worth your money and your time. Brunswick is lucky to have this place. Recommended.

Fantastic burger and the crème brûlée was amazing.

I've been waiting to try this place for so long. It was worth the wait! Amazing food! In my opinion, a perfectly sized menu. Creative specials balanced by modern staples and possibly the last quality $9 glass of wine in southern Maine. Our server, Joshua was the best!! So sweet, especially to my mom.

A nice little restaurant in a pleasant area. My girlfriend and I went for dinner and were served by Josh. He was a great server, he was on top of refills on our drinks and made sure we liked all the food. We had fun with him and he was pleasantly chatty. The food was good, we loved our food, especially our entrees. They were also on top of making sure everything was safe for my girlfriend since she has a nut allergy. Overall really nice place. It was a little on the pricey side, but worth it for a treat once in a while.

Enjoyed a really nice meal. Highly recommend the cotriade, a seafood stew from Brittany which was perfectly executed.

Fantastic Food! Friendly Service! Great experience! We sampled a lot of different items on the menu. It was all delicious. Some of the top hits were the Panisse, Fricasse, and Risotto.

I really enjoyed the vibe! I sat at the table near the window with twinkle lights as soft French jazz music played. The service was friendly. We ordered the cucumber salad, steelhead trout with forbidden rice, and steak frites - all were delicious!
I'm visiting from Denver and although I've always thought the Brunswick food scene was pretty good, Maine Street Bistro is upping the ante. Warm environment (Joshua our server as well as the very fit gentlemen made sure of that) with fresh ingredients that were served with creativity and perfect flavor. We got the cucumber salad, lobster bisque, beef tartare and the gnocchi special (they were all impressive though the gnocchi could have used a little more moisture or a sauce by our taste). Definitely returning next time I visit! It felt like a high quality dining experience within the cosiness and community of the southern Maine coast.

I think we ordered WAY too much food, because we couldn't decide! Too many great choices. 8 menu items between the three of us, and everything was absolutely delicious! The service was amazing, We cannot wait to go back. So mad I've waited so long to try it!
Unfortunately, we were disappointed with Maine Street Bistro after looking forward to going there the first time. Squishing 5 of us on to a 4 top table with clearly not enough room is not really a good plan... but we managed. The Lamb Croquette... so, so dry. It had a pretty good taste but so dry all the way thru, including the lamb. We mentioned it to the waiter, but that appeared to go nowhere. Corn fritters, what corn? Seemed to be mostly batter and not that well cooked. The grilled monk fish was completely dominated by just the taste of the charring, you'd hardly know there was fish, it spoilt what is normally a good meaty, flavorful fish. A little broth and a few peas and corn... not much of a dish. The lazy mussels was good. Would have been nice if the waiter asked folks at the table if anyone wanted more drinks, etc., etc., rather than just chit chat. From our perspective, overall, disappointing and expensive for what you get. Everyone at the table said they probably wouldn't return. Pity, it could have been good.
Went in for a date night and the experience could not have been better. Tried multiple new things and loved everything, the octopus was life changing and the drinks were so well price. Cant remember his name but our server was so nice and really pulled the whole experience together for us. Cant wait to go back
