The food and place is amazing! I believe this is the best restaurant Ive been to. Thanks to Denise for recommending this place, you never fail to impress us. Everything is top notch. The ambience is warm and classy. Their fresh oyster is a must try. We had seafood platter and truffle pizza paired with champagne as well. Thanks to Karim for making sure we have a lovely evening, we really appreciate it. Thanks to Ethan and Robert for the amazing service and to Rei and Rogel for making such lovely drinks. Their Espresso martini is the bomb! Its worth it. I will definitely come back!

One of my favorite restaurants in Dubai for its high quality food and attentive service.I shared four appetizers with a friend - we had burrata, beef tartar, chargrilled octopus, and beetroot salad. All of them were excellent and the portion was enough.Its ambience is laid-back and classy at the same time, and the outdoor sitting is just lovely. Their drinks are really good too, with extensive gin drinks. Definitely recommend!

Wonderful and quiet location. Great customer service and food.The staff were good at giving feedback on the various types of cuisine, constantly at hand for drinks top up and adding anything to our order.We ordered a steak, short ribs, fish and chips along with several starters. All very tasty.A great mid priced restaurant, easy and relaxed ambience and away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The MAINE in Studio City is a quiet and classic eatery different from your regular restaurant in the city. We ordered the Oysters, Fish Tacos and Peawn Linguini. Key Lime Pie for dessert. The potions are generous and food tasted good. Chef and Waiter (Peter) were great and even kept us company with some interesting conversation.

While I’ve had dinner here before this time was special. It was our wedding anniversary and Ethan was exceptional! He really looked after us, anticipating our needs, making recommendations and knowledge of the menu was something you don’t get often. As a result he made the experience even more special. Thank you Ethan for making our evening.

Pleasantly surprised how good the vegan food was here for a seafood heavy restaurant. I loved the no short rib option. My wife had the cauliflower steak and loved that as well. The cocktails are excellent and love the little touch of free bread you get, very tasty. Well be back 👌🏻

Surprisingly good short rib and catch of the day! The apple pie with ice cream is really tasty and not sweet. The ambience is wonderful. Great to gather with two three friends over a glass of wine.The salmon tartar is slightly too sweet for my taste and grilled octopus slightly too soft.Otherwise, great hidden gem in studio city.

A super fun place to celebrate a birthday or celebration. Delicious food as always and super professional and accommodating staff. The service could of been a little quicker in terms of serving the whole tables food at the same time.

Have eaten here a good few times in recent months, so feel qualified to give an opinion. Staff are excellent, they have a good knowledge of the food and menus etc. but most importantly for me they are very friendly and give the whole place a warm vibe. Food is also in very good order, not a massive menu, but more than enough to find something for everyone, but importantly as I said it tastes great, I dont think you will be disappointed. Overall a great experience and worth a visit (make sure you book, it does get busy for the limited inside tables during the summer months).

First time dining at at The MAINE Street Eatery. Simply amazing experience. Delicious food all around. Service was excellent and took the right amount of time between meals. Didn’t feel rushed to eat and leave. Music level was set to have a decent conversation with a comfortable background beat. Thank you Karim and the team at the MAINE. We will definitely be returning to what we call now one of the best restaurants to dine in.

Review №18

Disappointed. Ambience and drinks were nice.Had their burger, which looked amazing when arrived to the table. However, was one of the worst burgers I’ve ever had, certainly the most disappointing. Tasteless, overcooked, patty falling apart.They seem to take my response to their question “how was everything?” A bit of a joke because I ate it all. My friends medium steak also was well done.

A place for fancy lunch or dinner with tasty and well-made drinks. The ambiance is really cool and the staff were extremely polite, the truffle-mushroom pizza is worth trying for sure, and everything else in the menu. They offer happy hour as well, so make use of that ;)

Review №21

Nice place in a great compound of restaurants. The bread was fabulous, the beer was good (although there is only one choice on tab). So was the Aperol Spritz. Service was extremely quick and friendly. The main act, however, was a little disappointing. we ordered the Wagyu beef. I ordered mine medium rare. It was not medium rare and certainly no Wagyu. We travel Japan regularly and appreciate the smoothness of Japanese beef. We did not find it here. Too bad.

Excellent food, great ambiance, good service. Visited the Maine twice this week for its seabass fillet and tuna tartare as the starter. Loved the lemon butter taste and salty capers on the perfectly broiled seabass. Look forward to explore other dishes in the menu. The restaurant is located inside Studio one hotel in Studio city. Indoor outdoor seating provided. Free valet parking.

Delicious food, hospital staff, very friendly and always smiling. Great customer service and very accommodating. Love the atmosphere as well and perfect spot at studio city. My go to place for their amazing famous truffle pizza 🍕 on top of that, a great place for celebrations! Celebrated my mom’s birthday there twice already.I would only say that it’s a bit overpriced though

IG: eatgoseeThe Maine is well known to me from their established residence on the JBR curating a classy, sophisticated location to sit in a dark wooden booth or sidle up to a bar stool and sip carefully crafted cocktail. This vibe has been replicated on a smaller scale to a well positioned ground floor restaurant of the Studio One Hotel. Frankly this area of Dubai is a drought for decent bars and restaurants notwithstanding the phalanx of villa developments nearby. The outside terrace and pergola area will be very popular during the cooler Dubai months here.We positioned ourselves at the bar where service is quick not just for drinks but also you can grab waiters as they walk by. The cocktail menu is a carefully built menu of options and one of the better cocktail menus in Dubai in my view.The food: we opted for a few light bites and snacks but - price wise - most menu items are below 100 dhs which is good value. We opted for a selection of starters: short rib croquettes, hamachi crudo and the classic steak tartare. The croquettes are twice the size of a gold ball, darker milk chocolate coloured crumbly crust which cracks to reveal meaty threads of moist short rib and a surprise stuffing of gruyere cheese spiked with grassy jalapeño. I would definitely order again.The classic tartare is nicely cubed (likely by hand) with slightly chunky of filet steak lightly seasoned but no spice and no egg yolk (which I missed a little). Overall a good dish and refrains from those creamy or cheesy elements which plagues too many steak tartare these days.The hamachi crudo was the most memorably course like a palate cleanser after rich meaty courses with its light slivers of hamachi marinade in chilli, zesty lime dressing and pickled watermelon. This is a beautifully light dish - I wish there was a bigger portion!I will definitely return and looking forward to eating my way through the main next time.

Visited with my cousin and his girlfriend, we sat on a table by the bar. It was busting and our waitress, Denise gave us the best service. With good recommendations of Kelly Oysters to start with, gave us Roku gin to try— that she mentioned she’d pay for if we didn’t like. :)) We had 3 rounds of it. And Rib Eye to share with Brussel Sprouts to die for. Superb service!!! Now that curfew’s lifted, we will definitely come back!Definitely a great place to be after all of these negative corona energies happy to see that things are back on track

One of the best restaurants in Dubai!We have visited this wonderful restaurant several times in the past few weeks and always loved it .Service is fantastic . Special thank you to Denise , who has been so friendly and attentive and provides excellent food and drinks recommendations, takes very special care of you even if the place was busy. Great oysters promotion on Thursdays , if you come before 8 pm , you can get a dozen for as low as 120 AED . Octopus , fish tacos , catch of the day , mushroom pizza, I guess entire menus is worth a try.

I popped in with my husband for a few drinks and appetizers and found the food and service spot on. The server brought ice cubes for my white wine without me asking... I know I know a bit of a girl thing I suppose. I love the roasted garlic with the bread. We didn’t have a proper meal but will be sure to go back as the food looked amazing.

Perfect serviceToday Me and my friend we decided to check out the maine studio city....it was super awesome,The food was phenomenal, the service was super perfect,the host was welcoming but most of all the waiter “Musa” from chuganda was super sonic in everything!!!!He was charming,intelligent and the moment we arrived!!! He asked as if we wanted water?He went ahead and recommend us to start with a bottle of “Merlot” and later a full dozen of oysters with salmon tartare and tuna tartare..Not to mention.!!!!!!1His service was super excellent and exceptional...Every single minute he was there all the times pouring wine in our glasses....Dancing and enjoying his work..we saw him taking orders from different tables but still he checked at us all the times....without hesitations...its very rare in dubai to find charismatic and caring waiters who treat you like u deserve with the sense of belonging.......bringing my family next week!!!!..this is a must visit again!!!!!

Review №96

I absolutely love the Maine in JBR - probably one of my favourite restaurants in Dubai. The service is outstanding and the food is incredible.However, Im sorely disappointed by The Maine Street Eatery. Ive been several times now, and every time the service is horrendous. Waiters and Waitresses are nice, but theyre ridiculously slow - so much so that I often need to order two drinks to tide me over until I order again. Once I booked a table online, and the host told me I had no such booking and made me wait with a party of 6 people, even though I provided confirmation.When its not busy the service is fine, but go any evening and youll wait a lifetime for both food and drinks.The food is pretty hit and miss - sometimes its amazing, but recently my friend got food poisoning from the beef carpaccio.Its such a shame because I really do love The Maine, but they either need more waiting staff or better training because the service is letting this establishment down a bagful.
