Reviews for Café Drydock & Inn in Southwest Harbor, ME
Great place to eat in Bass Harbor. Poor man's lobster was amazing and absolutely worth the price. Stuffed scallops were also... delicious. Our server was super attentive. They have a kids menu but the only negative to our visit was there is no diaperchanging station. Read more
One of the best meals I've ever had! The Maine Blue Hill mussels were meaty and of great texture. The sauce was AMAZING, I used... bread to sop up the remainder and even put a little on my entree. Blueberry Brie was lovely. The Haddock was one of the nicestpieces of fish I've ever had, cooked just right so it was flaky but not "fishy". The accompanying green beans were great; thegentleman at the next table was commenting to his companions that he normally doesn't like green beans, but these were the besthe'd ever had and would eat THESE green beans all the time. Small cafe with a bar, on the first floor of an inn. Right on yourdrive to/from the "quiet West side" of Acadia National park. We did not stay at the Inn, no info on that. Read more
Decided to give this place a try as it was nearby where we were staying. Was a little hesitant based on some reviews but we were... very happy with our visit! We had to wait a little while but the two hosts never stopped moving by cleaning tables off andseating guests. Some people came and saw the group of people waiting and left angry claiming they had waited longer than theyhad (probably the same people writing these reviews!) Our food came out fast and was so good! Our server was very friendly andwas also very attentive. Read more
Good location. Nice atmosphere. Service was friendly. (Though the staff meeting near the bar was a bit distracting, with its... talk of rotting strawberries and other kitchen stuff). Friend haddock sandwich was TERRIFIC. Generous sides of chips and pastasalad. (Annoyingly, they failed to remove the tomato from the sandwich as I had asked). The root beer hit the spot. The barseats were were a bit uncomfortable because they seat part was too short (and thus cut into my thighs as my legs hung down). Would definitely return. Read more
I will give this a 2 rating because we enjoyed the deck and the inside of the restaurant looked cozy. However, we ordered the... Lobster Bisque and drinks. The lemonade was good but the Lobster Bisque ($14 for a bowl) was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING. It wasALL broth, creamed soup and absolutely NO Lobster meat at all. Is this normal? I have had MUCH better Lobster Bisque in ourhome state of Ohio! The waitress said it was pureed but seriously, who wants Lobster Bisque with absolutely no bites/ chunks oflobster?? My husband prefers to not eat out in touristy areas and I guess this proves his point. Read more
This review is for dining only. We didn?t stay at the Inn. Café Drydock is a perfect option for downtown Southwest Harbor if... you?re looking for something super convenient and need a change from frequenting the Lobster Pounds OR if everything else isclosed on a Monday or Tuesday. The crab cakes were so-so, but everyone else in my family really loved their dish. The LobsterMac & Cheese was on point, and not too rich like many of them. My mom is picky about her Lobster Mac & Cheese and loved it. Theyhave some casual selections and some great seafood and salad items. Excellent service as well! I would give it 4 stars justbecause of the service and interesting combinations but it?s not a ?must-go-to? restaurant. Definitely a wonderful place and Iwould recommend it. Enjoy some of the photos I took and give it a try. Read more
Great restaurant. Went twice in the week we were in Bar Harbor and both times were great. We sat in the bar/cafe side both... times. Food quality was very good. Our friend did say they Alfredo was getting cold when they were served it, but I'm notknocking a star for that as the other 9 meals and drinks in over those two times were excellent and very tasty. Staff were veryfriendly and polite, and knowledgeable about the menus. As an aside, their are other stores in this area as well making thestop for lunch or dinner great. Read more
The Lazy Lobster and Cajun chicken sandwich were excellent! I?ve had lobster the past three nights and this was so good! They... also give you two sides. Great atmosphere and nice servers. Well worth It! Read more
