Cool place! Went there because of a recommendation from my friend, Jim. I had fish (haddock) and chips. Wifey had chicken... fingers. Both were great! Wife had a beer, I had a blueberry margarita (ok, 2)? they were delicious!! I need to learn how tomake them at home! We sat at the bar, Sarah was our bartender. She was speedy, friendly, and helpful! Evidently they only had 2kitchen workers, so it was a little slow getting food, but that was ok.. did I mention 2 blueberry margaritas??? ;-) It wasreally fun. Great place for a later lunch! I will definitely return!! Read more
Went here a week before memorial day so it wasn?t so busy. We also came in at soon as they open, server was very friendly and... attentive. We just ordered a quick bite before we drive home. Lobster roll was great, a lot of meat and tasted very fresh! Oneof the best I?ve had. Shrimp was also fresh and perfectly cooked. Loved our quick lunch Read more
Our favorite place in Bar Harbor!! We had to go back again before we left, and we will definitely be coming again. Great... atmosphere, amazing food, and amazing staff! Our bartender, Hannah, was the best! We got the fish and chips, pesto chickensandwich, fried class, and sweet potato fries. The food was better than other more expensive places down the road. Definitely amust visit in Bar Harbor! Read more
Stopped in for lunch and were not disappointed. Food was great! Tasty clam chowder to start off, I had the blackened broiled... fish, wife had the fish and chips. All was super tasty, and the waiter was chatty and very helpful. Read more
Stopped in while visiting from Delaware. Really cool setup inside. Lots of tin and wood. The food was good. The lobster roll had... large pieces of lump lobster. It was the best thing we had. The beer list was a diverse set of local choices. They weren't greatbut we appreciated the choice. The staff was very friendly. Definetly stop in. Read more
Wow! Everything was amazingly cooked and our server went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and were... happy! He made great suggestions as well! I had the lobster roll which was a little smaller than expected but excellent! Theirwhale salad is really flavorful almost sort of a play on a greek salad! The marsh island IPA was so good, I got 2 and I usuallynever have more than 2 beer with dinner. We also tried the fish and chips, the blacked fish sandwhich and the fried haddocksandwhich, a bowl of clam chowder as well as the seafood sampler. We loved the clam chowder is even rivals a spot in Boston thathas my heart. For dessert we all shared the blueberry white chocolate cheesecake which was delicious but the little blueberrysauce on the side was so dang good. I would've eaten that off a shoe. Everything was hot, tasty and fresh! We would love to comein again. 10000% recommend this place. We also picked up some cute merch as well! This place wasnt too packed since they justopened yesterday but in so happy it was open so we could stop by! Read more
It was packed when we first arrived. It's quite the experience. The fish sandwich was excellent. Everything, for the most part... is fried but when in Maine, that's how they do shrimp, clams, and scallops Read more
