I was pleasantly surprised by the food quality and service at our hotel restaurant. The view and ambience were low key and welcome after a couple evenings of loud downtown dining experiences.

Overall, I’m kind of disappointed. The blueberry pie was quite good! I do recommend that. But the clam chowder didn’t have much flavor, salt and pepper didn’t help. The fish and chip also didn’t have a lot of flavor. But my issue was the service, I told the waitress I didn’t want to items listed and she brought them. They couldn’t be reused so they had to be thrown away, it was a waste. No one checked in to see how I was doing and if I needed anything. For the price you pay, the food should be better. Overall, service was meh, the food was pretty meh also. I don’t think I would go back.

Good atmosphere and good service. Nice spot for lunch if you want to avoid the hustle and bustle of downtown Bar Harbor with good parking options and a decent view of the harbor. The lobster bisque was ok more ocean tasting than others but if you like that then I’m sure it’s excellent. Had some chunks of meat which is great. The crab dip was really delish. Salads were ok. There was a small arts market set up outside and we checked that out afterwards.

Staying at the hotel here with my husband. Called to order last night and was told with a little irritation that they don't offer room service, so we got pickup instead to take to the room. The menu was changed from their website and their Facebook site in multiple ways, which was a bit disappointing, but we went with it. The order took about 20 mins longer to pickup than we were estimated. The mushroom ravioli was pretty good, but the asparagus on the side was left rather untreated, barely even salted. The fish and chips were really soggy, and the tartar sauce tasted of mostly just mayonnaise. Wanted to give them another try today, but after being told multiple times that they opened at 11 (and it being on their website)...when we called at 11:26 we were angrily told that we couldn't order until 11:30. Odd behavior, every interaction was as if we were bothering them...just by trying to get food at their restaurant. Shrug, tons of places downtown to eat...no need to get sassed for trying to order food lol.

Server came to our table to take our order. Once drinks were delivered, we had no check-ins. Water wasn't refilled, When my dining companion needed something, he had to motion for attention. I saw other waitstaff regularly visiting their tables, however. One of the meals ordered, the salmon, was tasty. Not so the fish and chips. It was cold and tasteless, after mistakenly going to 2 other tables. I specifically ordered that meal because of the reviews. I have never returned food, but regret that I didn't tonight, or speak up earlier. That's my fault. After asking for the bill, I did voice my displeasure, paid in full but did not leave a generous tip.

Well, food is good. No major complaints in Bar harbor. Only one thing made me write this comment: the waiter gave me an uncleaned glass with previous person’s lip stick on it. Personally I am not a high standard on hygiene but if I paid the tips at least I got general service, right? This is below the standard. The waiter changed the glass after I pointed out and apologized to me, however, they deserved a 1-star. This is not something I would expect even in a developing country.
Inside the Atlantic Oceanside hotel & conference center is East of Eden a cute bistro with 12 tables with a small bar. We are seated overlooking Frenchman’s Bay.
The reviews are a 4.5* out of 5. I’ll report after our meal what I thought. We are starting with a focaccia with a garlic parmesan balsamic glaze dipping sauce. Kris is having a caesar salad with salmon & I opted for Fried Calamari. It pleases me that my bride thoroughly enjoyed her meal. My wife’s salmon was cooked to perfection.
The caesar salad with salmon was a solid hit as was my calamari. Many times calamari are chewy not tonight they were as tender as I’ve ever had them. Our waitress Brittany was kind & not pushy. Tonight’s meal was a good one. Kudos all around!!

Lovely restaurant with nice views and good food.. Stopped in for dinner and enjoyed a delicious fish and chips dinner and a beef tenderloin dinner. The fish was fresh and flaky and the steak was very tender . Food was very good. There is also a bar with some additional seating as well. Good service and good food.

This place is very nice, not suitable for large groups over 5 people, amazing food, GF options, the flatbread is very good, great environment and really good view of ocean.
