Mac and cheese sauce tasted floury. The chicken alfredo with sun dried tomatoes had a good alfredo sauce but the chicken was very dry and no sun dried tomatoes. Wait staff not very attentive, no attempts to fill drinks and only once right after dropping off food (about 30 seconds) did any one check on us. Portions are large.
YES. YES. YES! Holy moly, loved the friendly, just-right service and can highly recommend the fried scallops. Look at how huge these are! EIGHT! And cooked just to Perfection. I ate half and have been snacking from the go-box - heck, even cold, they're great. Fries were hot, Cole Slaw tasty. I only used lemon - the scallops were so lightly sweet, no sauce was needed. A great experience, highly recommended.
We are visiting Bar Harbor and just found the tourist crowded town too much. We strayed into Ellsworth on errands and stopped in to the turtle for dinner. It's so good! They aren't trying to empress you with fancy presentations just serve good local seafood cooked well. I had the stuffed haddock dinner and my husband ate the haddock Rueben. The fish was delightful fluffy and light with really well done stuffing.
