“I was hired to shoot a wedding at The Asticou this fall and it was such an amazing experience! I didn't want to leave at the end of the night. I'm not exaggerating when I say that If I get booked there again I will try to get a room of my own and make a weekend out of it! I've shot at many venues in the Bar Harbor/Acadia area and this is probably my favorite. The venue is gorgeous, the grounds are scenic, and the staff is wonderful. I was particularly smitten with the design of the reception hall. Beautiful paintings everywhere. I was able to get some amazing portraits of the bride and groom in the botanical garden across the street. You simply can't go wrong with The Asticou for a wedding, event, or for your vacation lodgings.”

“Beautiful scenery wonderful weather excellent food. The pop over pot pie was delicious as well as our drinks, the blueberry Mojito, and others were really good. Our server, Lucky, was excellent and adorable. We enjoyed it immensely and look forward to coming back someday.”

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!”

“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!”

“You must eat here! The atmosphere is lovely and laid back. The drinks (and mocktails) are wonderful. The food... the food is fantastic! You can't go wrong with the apps, but the Dilly Pickled Veg is the perfect little zippy snack while you wait for your dinner. The entire dinner menu is truly inspired. The bang bang fried chicken is always a personal go to... but I opted for the Crab BLT tonight and was blown away! My hubby had the Lamb Shwarma and practically licked his plate... the pita alone was a light, fluffy delight. If you order the fries, which you most certainly should, get the garlic aioli... you'll thank me later, it's also good with the lamb. ;)”

“Best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had! Wonderful customer service 🌯”

“Wonderful place. Great staff, great food, great service. Can’t wait to go back.”

“Everything from the seating to the food was absolutely magical!”

“We tried Royal Indian for the first time one month ago. We had the butter chicken, butter lobster, naan, and lamb korma. It was our first time eating Indian food from a restaurant and we were very pleased with our meals! The entrees were very filling and some of the best food we’ve eaten in bar harbor. The staff were all super friendly and quick. We’re now using this as our go to takeout order spot!”

“Delicious, fun atmosphere, would eat here again.”

“Delightful! Don’t miss when visiting Southwest Harbor. The food was amazing and the staff were friendly and engaging. Cool funky vibe in this cozy, artistic space (check out the wood cuts by AC Kulik). If available try the ginger apple bourbon its Fall in a glass. Seating is limited so get there early.”

“Excellent place to eat!!!!!!!! Service is amazing, staff is top notch and food is delicious!!!!!!!!”

“Highly recommended! This place is great!”

“We had the best time and best food here! My sister and I and our families and my two pups all ate dinner here on August 16th, 2024. Our service was excellent and the food was SO good. My pups were greeted and given a bowl of water and enjoyed the smoked turkey off dog menu too! Solid selection of local beers and nice variety of cocktails to choose from too. I would highly recommend checking this place out. There’s also an ice cream shop right next door, if you happen to not be too stuffed after your meal!”
