We came into the bar not noticing the sign to wait to be seated and the doorman let us know about it several times once he came back (not crowded at all). I got the fish and chips which were over cooked. I will say good ambiance and my buddy liked the bisque. The waitress was nice as well.
Outstanding fried clam strips.

I rarely end up giving a place 2 stars, but this place truly earned it. Ended up here after checking a few reviews while in Bar Harbor. The only polite individual in this establishment is the lady at the front while the gentleman at the bar serving beer was among the rudest I have ever met. Almost everything listed on the menu are fried options and not fresh sea food options. Food in general was bang average and the lobster bisque was the only saving grace. If you are looking for a proper meal, this place is best skipped and stop by only if you need fried food/ bar eats as an alternate to a quick service option. Overall disappointed and a hard pass.

Nothing seemed fresh or homemade. Same fries you can get at any mom and pop diner across the country, fish was from frozen (it sure tasted that way). Very disappointed, especially for the price. Service not great. Surprised by all the positive reviews.

We loved everything about this place! The food was delicious, the staff was super nice and welcoming. It is, rightly so, a very popular place so there can be a bit of a wait. We ended up sitting at the bar. The beers on tap were all local and great. Best seafood I have had in quite some time. Thank you!
