“If you've ever had real Italian Gelato from a street vender in Venice, Italy, you will not be disappointed. Gelato, ice cream, and sorbet were all S tier. Best ice cream I've had this side of the Atlantic; very rich, recommend one scoop. Charming book selection. Outdoor seating.”

“Delicious from start to finish. I had the blueberry lemonade cocktail, lobster and scallop casserole, and got a slice of carrot cake to go. Also got some donuts from the bakery for the next morning. Totally worth the 20 minute drive from Bar Harbor.”

“Chicken, waffles, cocktails. 🍗🧇🍹 Need I say more?”

“I was on the hunt for lunch in the area and stumbled upon this place.
The staff are super nice and service is very quick.
I liked that you can order a cup of a chowder and half aized salads , this allowed me to actually taste more dishes.As someone who travels alone a lot,I really appreciate thos option.
I had a cup of seafood chowder that was noce and creamy but not too heavy, half a Ceaser salad that was nice and fresh and the Ruben sandwich with fries that was nice and crispy.
All and all, very good option when you are in the area.
Note: paryis a bit further down the block,across from the beach.”

“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.”

“Fantastic food one of the best locations on the island.”

“We were on our first trip to the Southwest Harbor area and were recommended to try out Vacationland and MAN it didn’t disappoint! We are huge coffee lovers and Chris’ knowledge and love of all things coffee is ever present! This cool little spot was so close to our Airbnb and it is right on the water! The breakfast sandwiches are also delicious with Mike on the grill! The coolest part is he offers custom coffee to go in sealed 4pack cans. Can’t wait to go back next year!”

“Had dinner here in October when on a trip with my mom. It was a nice break from all the seafood places (not that we don't love our seafood) a nice relaxed place to just chill and enjoy a meal. I had the chicken sandwich and it's ruined every other chicken sandwich I've had since (and chicken is my jam). Also if they sold jars of their homemade pickles I'd have bought multiple they were so good!!”

“Fantastic lobster dinner with muscles, clams topped off with homemade blueberry pie and ice cream!”

“We had the Pot Roast breakfast meal today and it was amazing - so tender, flavorful and a unique combination of components for a memorable and hardy breakfast...lunch did not happen! Thanks so much for that, along with great service, and staying open longer than the tourists come. See you soon!”

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

“This is a hidden gem of a food joint disguised as a gas station. We ate breakfast there 3 days this week and we have a kitchen in the place we are renting, but it was so good and convient that we couldn't help ourselves.”

“On our annual vacation, my wife and I went there for an early dinner. The line out front was justified. (Though we barely made the first seating.) The atmosphere was great, and the food was far better than I expected. The non-alcoholic drinks were excellent. I had this orange spritz which surprised me and had this nice glowing orange color. The hummus was the best I'd had. I also enjoyed the carbonara pasta, which had nice details in the flavor. We will definitely make this place a tradition when we visit Acadia.”
