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.

I had an excellent experience at this restaurant. The food was exceptional, with views of the coast. Their menu had fantastic options for non shell fish eaters. Their charred salmon, stuffed mushrooms, and beet salad were all delicious. And don’t miss the blueberry pie—it’s a must-try!

Small bistro inside the Atlantic hotel. The food was very good quality and I should mention that the person in charge of ingredients for the kitchen is doing an amazing job. Everything is very fresh and very tasty. Fish and chips were exceptionally good, with fresh, full of flavor fish. The cocktails are very nicely made. The only thing that is bad is the service, careless and slow waiters. But still a good place to eat.

Great food with an attentive staff. Just enjoyed a wonderful meal with our out of town friends.

Probably the best restaurant at any hotel I’ve stayed at! The food and the selection here is of excellent quality, with a consciously sourced selection of local dishes while having reasonable prices. There is a window with a scenic view of the Atlantic. Anybody staying at the Atlantic Oceanside Hotel must come here to have a wonderful meal.

Parking: Located in a hotel in the rural town of Bar Harbor, so there must be plenty of free parking!

Expected more with some recent 5 star reviews. Lobster dip was good. Ordered a salad with marinated steak. The meat was sliced like thin gyro meat- it was dry and not what I expected. Kids liked their chicken sandwiches. Pretty views but the food left a lot to be desired. Servers just standing around near the bar watching us eat or outside looking at the view. It was awkward and freezing inside.

Never a bad time/meal at the Bistro. Menu is somewhat limited but for the size of the place, need no more than they got. Food is exceptional, always get the Salmon/Ravioli/Fish & Chips; service is great and atmosphere is serene; daytime views,

Probably the best restaurant at any hotel I’ve stayed at! The food and the selection here is of excellent quality, with a locally sourced selection of local dishes while being affordable also. The setting also scenically overlooks the Atlantic. If you stay at Atlantic Oceanside, try this restaurant.
