| Ties have been strained, particularly over US plans to put parts of a missile defence system in eastern Europe, and the talks are aimed at easing tensions.
The two leaders took a speedboat ride together before a Maine-style dinner.
In Maine, Mr Bush praised new British PM Gordon Brown for his "very strong" response to recent terror attacks.
"It just goes to show the war against these extremists goes on," he said.
The US has increased its airport security and added more air marshals to international flights, but not raised its alert level.
'Friendly spirit'
Mr Bush and Mr Putin are spending two days together at the seaside retreat.
As Mr Putin arrived, more than 1,000 demonstrators protested nearby, criticising his policy on Chechnya and calling for Mr Bush to be impeached over the war in Iraq.
Officials have stressed that the meeting between the two leaders is informal.
