It was a busy Monday after lunch but our server, Kim, was just awesome! We were impressed with her service despite the busy afternoon. The food did take a while but it was understandable. The lobster roll was very generous from someone coming from the midwest. The short rib was phenomenal, very flavorful but the portion was smaller than anticipated. Our favorite part was the dessert. We definitely had to ask Kim since there were too many choices, she told us to try her personal fave Berry trifle and the popular open faced ice cream. She did not disappoint, they were all so good, especially the trifle, a must try for everyone!
Perfectly blended salad with high quality ingredients that you can taste matched with delicious cocktails, and did I mention the view? The haddock with gnocchi was so fresh and well balanced. Don't forget to try the blueberry pie. We really loved the dining experience and ambience too. Highly recommended.
Stooped for lunch on our Lobster fest day. Kim and I shared a Lobster Roll and a bowl of Lobster Bisque. At the recommendation of our server we had the blueberry mojito. The views from the deck were stunning. We had a short wait for lunch as this is a first come first served place. We enjoyed the shaded Adirondack chairs overlooking the bay while we waited. Planning on staying at the inn on our next visit.
We had an absolutely great lobster bake dinner here overlooking the harbor, and watched an amazing sunset! The lobster bake dinner included clam chowder or a salad, over a dozen steamed mussels and clams, a large lobster, potatoes, baked asparagus, corn on the cob, lots of butter, and a piece of local blueberry pie for dessert. At $50, it’s the absolute BEST deal for a lobster bake with a view in Bar Harbor. The seafood was absolutely fresh out of the water, and delicious! This is a popular place for a sunset dinner, and they don’t take reservations, so try to arrive a little early and maybe expect to wait a little on weekends or at their peak times. The menu is great, with many options that will suit others that aren’t too excited about seafood. They had a great selection of tap or bottled beer with many local brews, and a good wine and drinks list. I only rated it 4 stars because the service was slow, and they seemed understaffed. We had a very thoughtful and friendly waitress, but she just had too many tables. We would definitely recommend this place in Bar Harbor, and will most definitely go here for dinner again!
We had a great view, wonderful meal and fastastic service. Our expectations were exceeded when they told us it would be a 35 minute wait for a table and it was ready in 10. We had a lobster cake for an appetizer and it was wonderful. The haddock sandwich was amazing and had great flavor. The blueberry mojito had good flavor but very little alcohol. Im a lightweight and normally could only have 1 drink. I didnt have even the slightest buzz but it was fine. Hope to go back next summer when visiting the area again.
Perfect just perfect. Accommodating us with our pup Scout ! The lobster was phenomenal, mussels and clams and chowder was great, Blueberry pie was delicious Thanking you Bruce and Staci Hunter ~Texas visitors
This place deserves more than 5 stars! Beautiful views, exquisite dishes, drinks we’re on point. Nice to see a diverse staff, everyone was super friendly. We got the most breath taking views and got to see the whale watching boat set off from the doc.
Great location! While waiting there were several people walking out raving about how fabulous their lunch was. I'm happy for them haha. The service was a bit slow and not particularly friendly ... but it's 2022. I forgot which chardonnay I ordered but it was delicious. Since it was my first full day in Maine I ordered the clam chowder. Based on my bowl of chowder I cannot recommend it. The taste was lacking. My husband had the shrimp caesar salad and it was absolutely delicious. The taste and the amount of dressing was perfect. The romaine was fresh and crisp. The shrimp were soooo tasty and the portion was very good.
The best dining experience in Bar Harbor, the food, service and location are exceptional. I dined with five friends on a Sunday evening, the food was delicious, I had the Lobster Cobb Salad, yum! My friends had short rib, boiled lobster and fish tacos, all excellent. There is nothing better than sipping a cocktail, enjoying a great meal with friends and watching the sunset on Frenchman's Bay.
My husband and I just had one of the best meals ever! We went early to avoid the crowds and got to sit with the best view by the water. We started with the Lobster Cake as an appetizer and had the Maine Steamed Lobster as the entree. It was all so good. To top it off, we had dessert—Lemon-Blueberry Whoopie Pie and Open Faced Ice Cream Sandwich. They were both so good. Definitely recommend!
