There’s no indoor seating (not that you’d want it), so bring a sweater, come at sunset, and watch the sailboats and gulls chase one another across the bay—one of the coldest and deepest in Maine, which locals say makes for the best lobsters.

A Grilled Lobster Recipe for Summer - Earth at Hidden Pond

But for Danielle and Justin Walker, the owners of the idyllic restaurant and farm, Earth at Hidden Pond, in Kennebunkport, it’s part of a rich family legacy. “Our son, Jackson, is the sixth generation to live on the farm, which was built in 1750,” Danielle, who manages the front of house, says. “When my father was 13, he’d ride his bike down to the cove and go lobstering.” Her father, Ted Johnson, is now 70 and still goes out on his red lobster boat (which he built from scratch by hand and named Jessie Danielle, for his two daughters) a couple of days a week—and Justin, as the executive chef for the restaurant, uses everything he catches in the kitchen. “He could bring in 80 pounds or 280 pounds, but we’ll take it.

Or “where are you going to honeymoon?”.
