“My husband and I were traveling around the area for an extended weekend, and we made sure to have a lobster roll for lunch every day. Archie's was by far our favorite! Along with the blueberry pie!”

“Great food. Great service! Armando was a great waiter! Congratulations Brandon on putting together a fantastic place to eat, drink and enjoy the view.”

“A Perfect Stay at the Claremont – Made Unforgettable by Captain Alwyn (sp?) and Lady A Our stay at the Claremont was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The rooms were beautifully appointed, the service was attentive and warm, and the location couldn’t have been more picturesque. Every detail felt thoughtful and refined. Dining at Little Fern was also a highlight—delicious food, elegant ambiance, and top-tier hospitality. But what truly made our trip unforgettable was our charter with Lady A. We were lucky enough to set out with Captain Alwyn, a knowledgeable and passionate local who brought the beauty of the area to life in such a personal and engaging way. From hidden coves to sweeping coastal views, every moment on the water felt like a scene from a dream. Captain Alwyn’s expertise, warmth, and deep roots in the community made the experience both relaxing and enriching. If you’re staying at the Claremont, I can’t recommend this experience enough. Treat yourself to a day on Lady A—it’s a must-do, and one of the most memorable parts of our Maine getaway.”

“All of the dishes I've had here have been wonderful, tasty and beautifully presented. Great addition to SWH, so glad because I live about 20 minutes from SWH so it's convenient.”

“If you want lobster, this is your place! We got the lobster dip, a lobster melt, and lobster rolls. Delicious! We will definitely recommend to anyone inquiring where they should eat, and we will be back when in the area!”

“Best blueberry pancakes I’ve ever had! Super cute atmosphere and fast service!”

“Holy cow! What a hidden gem. The absolute BEST fried chicken sandwich I’ve had in Maine and probably elsewhere. The fries were incredible too.

Do yourself a favor and stop to get some lunch or dinner, you’ll be glad you did!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Maine Must-Try! The lobster roll was perfection — sweet, tender chunks of fresh-caught lobster piled high on a buttery, lightly toasted bun. The seasoning was simple and spot-on, letting the natural flavor of the lobster shine through, while just enough creamy dressing tied it all together without overpowering. The lobster nachos were an unexpected delight — warm, crisp tortilla chips loaded with generous pieces of lobster, melted cheese, and a drizzle of tangy sauce that balanced richness with a hint of brightness. Every bite had that perfect mix of crunch, creaminess, and fresh-from-the-sea flavor. Whether you’re a Maine local or just visiting, these dishes are the kind of food memories you’ll be talking about long after you’ve left.”

“Amazing dog friendly Ask for mallory she is amazing so are bloody marrys”

“10/10 - service, food and beverages - amazing! Stopped in during a visit to bar harbor this past weekend and were well taken care of by the staff who provided great food and beverage recommendations, also attentive with the service! Be sure to try the blue corn chips and if you like spice - try the hot salsa!”

“All the food was great but the two pasta dishes that our family shared were some of the better pasta dishes I have ever had! Service was great. Little things, like my daughter dropped her fork and within a minute someone showed up with a clean fork before we could even ask. Vibe was inviting and family friendly.
Our best restaurant experience on a two week trip to Maine.”

“Best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had! Fantastic staff, laid back atmosphere and an EXTENSIVE bourbon selection. Great view of the water. If you want a low key vibe with great food and spirits…. Make this your first stop!”

“This place is doing absolutely beautiful things for this community. We had heard about it on one of the MDI pages. My husband and I wanted to check out the popovers but what we walked away with was so much more. We were welcomed in by the volunteers, given directions on how it all worked, and were able to have some incredible popovers while listening to music. We returned our last morning on island with our entire family, including our two dogs and enjoyed popovers as we sung along to songs from the Common Good Band. It was my 7 months olds first time on the island and I am so glad she got to experience all of that. Incredible Popovers, Awesome atmosphere and great cause. We can’t wait to come back on our next visit.”

“Can’t say enough fantastic things about this restaurant and the staff. This dinner was definitely the standout of all our meals from our trip to Maine. James personally came over to our table to go through our food allergies which was so appreciated. Really kind, lovely people and a great establishment. The care for the food and the customer really shines through. Highlights include the ribs, lobster risotto, lamb, mussels, and scallops. All the best and love from NYC!”

“The ambiance was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxing easy meal. The seafood dishes were so fresh and flavorful. We had clams, scallops, haddock, fries and all I would try again. I’m planning on going back to get a lobster roll and icecream!”

“Highly recommended! This place is great!”

“Friday night specials and drinks were great. Different than you would find elsewhere in down east Maine. Our drinks were always full, we left full without much to take home, and the service was friendly and on point. Great job at this unique restaurant and sports bar! Next time we are in the area this is where we’ll be eating!”

“Great good at a great price, especially in Bar Harbor!
I had the turkey sandwich and it can't came with fries and both were large portions and well made.”

“Great food, relaxing atmosphere, and a beautiful sunset. What more could we ask for? Will definitely be back next time we visit Acadia. Seems like a hidden gem”

“Best haddock sandwich in Bar Harbor! All the food is so fresh. Love the patio seating area. It’s been great having them open all year round. 10/10 recommend”

“Indeed a labor of love. Great food, great coffee, great conversation.”

“Love the grab and go food options! Everything was delicious. We got the cobb salad, sorelle wrap and classic corn dog. They also have a great selection of sweet treats and snacks. I tried their cotton candy ice cream and it was yum! Can't wait to go back!”

“Ordered a panini and was mistakenly given someone else’s order with 3 paninis. Once I returned to the register and informed the staff they immediately worked on sorting it out. Not only did they make sure my correct order was out in the next five minutes, they refunded my entire purchase. The food was definitely worth it and I would come back and eat here again. Customer service on point!”

“We stayed at the newly redone Asticou this weekend and wow, it is wonderful! The grounds and facilities were pristine and the staff was so wonderful. Great food and cocktails with a fantastic view.”

“Lunch today at Eat a Pita was simple but delicious. Nice grilled ham and cheese and a great chicken salad pita. We shared a crunchy order of homemade chips. Rob was a very good waiter. Awesome spot”

“This is such a nice place to stop if you're in northeast harbor! They have a great iced mocha, the staff is super friendly, and last time I was in I got to see Oscar! The sweet, lovable chocolate lab! Definitely turned a rough morning into a great day. I highly recommend”

“Try the Maple Oat. Maple syrup, oat milk and double expresso. Freaking amazing!!”

“I’ve been eating my way through several Maine lobster rolls and this is one of the best. Thank you Chef Cezar, we cant wait to come back to try more of your delicious offerings!”
