“Hubby & I ended our wedding day with a trip to Beal’s to grab some lobster rolls & catch the sunset, and it couldn’t have been a more perfect end to the best day. Lobster rolls are the best we’ve had in Maine, blueberry cheesecake was amazing, staff was so kind and excited to have us there and we were seated at perfect, intimate indoor table with gorgeous views of the harbor. Went back the next day and had scallops & clams, and food was equally as amazing and fresh as night before. We LOVE Beal’s and will be visiting any time we make it back up to Maine!!“

The food was great and our waitress was so nice; very pleasant. We had the stuffed crab mushrooms, haddock sandwiches and blueberry crisp-a la mode for dessert. Yummy.“

Thank you for always making it special❤️ Also Bob is a wonderful pianist and Sabrina is a fantastic waitress, we always enjoy seeing her.“

“Saw a review on Instagram that they had the best blueberry pie in town, so we had to try it. Well, it did not disappoint! It was AMAZING! Warm and served with vanilla bean ice cream and whipped cream. And the crust is the best!! But, better than that was our bartender/server, Stephanie. She was awesome, friendly and attentive. We enjoyed it so much we came back a second night for another slice of pie and wound up buying a whole pie to bring home. The restaurant has a beautiful and welcoming vibe and we look forward to coming back for dinner and more pie when we return to Bar Harbor!“

“We had the haddock tacos and street corn this evening and they were so good. Highly recommend trying them, all ingredients were really fresh.“

“Just had a top notch dinner at Havana. And as someone who has to eat gluten free I was so impressed when the waiter brought out gluten free bread for me when he brought out bread for the table AND my own butter/spreads for it so there wasn’t cross contamination. Every dish we ate was amazing. Do not overlook the vegan option! My daughter (not vegan) thought it was one of the best meals she has eaten in years.“

“Very fresh lobster rolls and fish sandwiches, the best in Maine. We actually had to get extra to take home. Beautiful views, family owned and beautiful area. I would definitely go back again. Thank you for an awesome lunch.

“I was hesitant about taking my young family here, but the loft did not disappoint! It's a new family favorite in Bar Harbor, and I have converted to loving seafood and the raw menu because of the loft! The ahi tuna nachos were a hit all around and a big recommendation to try! We can't wait to go back! The staff and food was amazing, and they even catered to my two children (1yr and 4yrs old).“

“We were at Charlotte’s on Wednesday 8/20 there were 4 of us and even though it was a little on the cool side, we totally enjoyed our meals. Our meals consisted of fried shrimp & clams, a hot dog and fresh lobster rolls along with French fries, coleslaw and pickles with the sandwiches. Price was comparable with other restaurants in the area. Plenty of parking and room to move around. A great place to watch the power of the ocean.“

“Great seafood and attentive staff“

“Head read other reviews about some people having issues with the food, but we had no problems at all. We got the clam chowder and a lobster roll and everything was great as far as we were concerned. We are in their outside bar area in the back and enjoyed it.“

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

“Stewman’s Lobster Pound in Bar Harbor, Maine is a must visit! The whole lobster is absolutely delicious, and the shrimp is equally amazing. The views of the harbor make dining here even better, and the service is friendly and attentive. It’s a popular spot, so it can get busy definitely get there early. A perfect place to enjoy fresh seafood and soak in the charm of Bar Harbor!“

Service was excellent and the food was very good. We recommend this restaurant to people who are looking for a very elegant dinner at an elegant restaurant and please request Paulo, he is the best 😊 thank you 😊“

The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it a great place to start your day. It does get busy, so I’d recommend getting there early to secure a table. Overall, a must-visit for anyone looking for a hearty, satisfying breakfast in Bar Harbor!“

“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.“

“Recently visited Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. During our stay we ate here several times. Every one of our meals was delicious. Fish and chips was the highlight. First time having haddock fish and chips. Really well executed on crispy exterior and moist flakey flesh. The service was good. Met some really nice wait staff here and enjoyed the conversations.“

“Great food great staff 🦞🦞🦞“
