The Hostess/Owner Debbie is very cordial and friendly seating everyone and returning to tables to make sure everyone has what the need and conversations about the Island if any questions. The Food portions where large and the flavor great. One of the dinner's we had was Seafood Alfredo which is one of the best Alfredo sauce I have tasted and... More

We have been coming to Mt Desert Island for 30 years and discovered Top of the Hill shortly after. We haven't been in a few years and were not disappointed on our return trip. The food was great with many affordable options. The staff and ownership are friendly and make you feel at home. Relaxed atmosphere adds to the experience.... More

We found this restaurant purely by accident. Sometimes luck just smacks you upside the head! The crab cakes are fantastic, with an unbelievable dip. As opposed to most crab cakes at restaurants in Bar Harbor, the crab cakes are actually mostly crab, and great crab at that! The salmon was superb, as was the baked stuffed haddock. The bread is...

The restaurant is informal, but pleasant. As you enter the place, you will see many humorous signs posted on the wall. The Chicken Marsala was excellent - the Marsala sauce phenomenal. The Haddock Piccata was decent, fresh, but slightly bitter, as they cooked the fish with lemon chunks, including the lemon rind. Capers also add to the pungent bold lemony... More

TennisMother, Thank you for your positive review. We are pleased you enjoyed your visit with us. I must apologize for the "sharecharge" that was mistakenly added to your bill-you are right, our portions are generous, and children are welcome to share them at no additional cost. This was an unfortunate server oversight. The next time you join us for dinner,... More

I've had dinner here ten times since June, and with all of the restaurants on Mount Desert available in the summer, this should tell you something. Outstanding Italian and Seafood, always seated without reservations (although they do take reservations), quick service, large group no problem. Lobster Newburg out of this world! More

Food was excellent. Scallops can be hard to cook properly when there are different sizes and thickness of them but they did very well. Service was snappy and the wait staff attentive. More

We had eaten at Fiddlers Green the night before, and were somewhat satisfied,, what i wanted was a traditional shore dinner, such as " Captain's combination" plate, etc. I couldn;t find it at the Green but enjoyed it here. A few people have complained about the slow service some have experienced, When we got there (Perhaps about 7 PM) we... More
