“Absolutely AMAZING food! Incredible lobster rolls and the best blueberry pie I have ever eaten. Everything was delicious!!“

“It was our first day in Bar Harbor and we chose Galyn’s for dinner. It was delicious. We sat on their front porch overlooking the harbor. 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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.“

“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“

“We’ve been coming to this location for the past several years to celebrate our wedding anniversary and every single time we are in awe of how magical it is💕 Between the amazing staff who put thought that it’s our wedding anniversary, the romantic atmosphere, and the view, so beautiful. Thank you for always making it special❤️ Also Bob is a wonderful pianist and Sabrina is a fantastic waitress, we always enjoy seeing her.“

“Get your blueberry pie fix here. Came
In after dinner for a slice of pie. One of the few options of a place open post dinner time and it didn’t disappoint. Grab a post dinner cocktail while you’re at it that won’t break the bank.“

“Service was great and food was delicious a definite good spot“

“The best part about dining at The Terrace Grill is the view across the harbor toward Bar Island. It’s stunning. Next is the service. Our server, Kim, did an excellent job balancing checking on us and giving us space. She paid special attention to details with our order and answered our questions about the harbor and the community. Finally, the food was very good and well presented. My wife had the Blueberry salad with Salmon which was outstanding. I had the fish tacos with grilled haddock and they were quite tasty. The sauce and salsa had excellent flavor. The fish was a little dry. The prices were quite reasonable and I would definitely go back.“

“Great experience, service, and food every visit!“

“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“
