“It was my first time visiting Peter Trouts and I was not disappointed! I ordered the pork chop sandwich and it may be the best thing I’ve ever eaten. The flavors were outstanding from the coating on the pork to the coleslaw and the pickle it all blends well.
Well done!!“

“Great seafood and attentive staff“

“Great restaurant. Very nice staff. One of the best lobster places around. It would be nice if the hire wait staff to check on you after delivering your food in case you need extra butter or napkins. Once your food is delivered, you're on your own. Work for that nice tip ppl leave when they are ordering. Just saying❤️“

“We were here on vacation from Indiana and loved the atmosphere! Happy hour oysters and drinks were awesome (the gin blueberry special drink is great). Staff was very nice, Skylar and Amy (Aimee) were very friendly and knowledgeable.“

“It's not just a restaurant, it's a genuine Bar Harbor historical landmark.“

“perfect steamers today. will be back tomorrow for lobsters!“

“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. ;)“

“Sandwiches are fresh and ingredients are top quality. Baked goods are fantastic. I bought a strawberry rhubarb pie today and it was perfect, that crust was amazing. This shop is my quilty treat after cleaning cottages on the island. Thank you for being there.“

“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.“

“Phenomenal ambience, great service, and the blueberry barbecue chicken wings were off the chain!“

“This was our last day in Bar Harbor and we sure picked the right restaurant to end our trip. Justin was our server and he was very friendly, explained the menu, specials and prices for lobster. The oysters were so fresh, caught just 3 miles away. Everything we had was on point. Highly recommend and we will be back!“

“Great vibes all around. I had the chicken salad sandwich BLT recommended from our waitress and I’m still dreaming about it, so delicious! Food was great, but service was even better with the host and waitress checking in on us consistently. Can’t wait to go back!“

“The only thing I can tell you is we smelled it walking by and it did not disappoint. We went back two days in a row and it might just be the best pizza we ever had… in a tourist area to boot!“

“Very good food and beer. No wait to get in and food was served quickly after ordering. Clam chowder was extremely good and a meal itself, but I had a crab roll, too, which was also good. Would eat there again next time we're in the area.“

“We had a great supper after and afternoon of walking around. The burgers were super good and hearty, the pork belly sliderswere tasty. As well as the blacken fish tacos. Fun beer selection. Our server was helpful and friendly. Highly recommend you to enjoy this place.“

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

“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.“

“We really enjoyed our meal here! Our server was on point, the food was amazing. The atmosphere was great (just a smidge loud). I had the lobster ravioli- it was spectacular! My husband had the halibut and it too was delicious. The desert was outstanding! Loved this place, it was a wonderful last meal before we had to leave the picturesque town of Bar Harbor. Thanks for a great experience!“

“As a local, Pats Bar Harbor is my go to for fresh made and delicious comfort food. They never disappoint and I especially like that they have my favorite New Zealand wine at a reasonable (not tourist) price. They are open every day so it’s easy to be spontaneous when craving Pats food. I’m anxious to try their Jamaican inspired menu but it’s a challenge to stay away from their calzones, pizza, sandwiches and pasta. Thanks Pats for always being so dependable in every way. ❤️“

“A1 absolutely the best. hands down, my favorite place to dine on the Island. I loved the atmosphere, Hatsana, who took care of us is amazing! this is truly a gem in a town full of microwaves. they do it right..“

“Great food great staff 🦞🦞🦞“

“Wonderful! Great food and drinks!“

“Great location within the strip of shops. There is plenty of outdoor seating. We went around 3 pm, so after lunch rush. We waited for around 5 minutes (they had to clean a table). Our server was nice. He took our drink order, and it came out in just a few minutes. We ordered our food, and it came out within 10 minutes. The shrimp po'boy was good. The sauce had flavor but just a little much on the sandwich (it was hard to pick up and put down, got soggy). The chicken salad sandwich was pretty good and light. The lobster roll was a good portion size and didn't have too much mayo. The potato chips had light salt, which tasted good with the sandwiches. The lobster salad was basically a bunless lobster roll. The portion was large and came with a vinaigrette dressing. I ordered a blueberry frizz. It was very sour and didn't taste much like blueberry. Handicapped accessibility would be limited; no ramp (that I saw) to eat inside, you could eat outside 1st floor, which is under cover. The bathroom is tricky, getting in and out with 2 doors that open the same way.

Parking: Street parking that can be difficult to find a spot.

Wheelchair accessibility: Limited to outside, under cover.“
