“WHEN SEEKING A DINING SPOT WHILE TRAVELING, CONSIDER PLACES THAT ARE OWNER OPERATORS AND HAVE BEEN OPERATING FOR YEEAARRSSSS...

if you are visiting Mount Desert Island and seeking a small, polished spot, consider The Red Sky Cafe in SW Harbor.

We visited for dinner on the last day of summer in 2026 and WHAT A TREAT.

The owner runs the front of the house and we were attended by (Mr.) Matija for the evening; we were in good hands.

The atmosphere, service and food and beverage stand tall with those with much tonier addresses.

You just feel you are in for a good evening when the craft coktails are sellar ... we enjoyed the Mint Martini and the Summertime. Following were fine versions of corn chowdah, a tomato and leek tart, a prime strip and in-house made tagliatelle with local ricotta and house-smoked salmon.

The owner allowed us to bring a special bottle for the occasion, with a corkage fee of course.

We are celebrating our 43rd anniversary with September in Maine. This will be the ONLY spot we visit twice for dinner.

Thank you very much!“
