The menu is enticing and the ambiance very good. It is inviting. However, we've been there a number of times, and the food has been uneven. First a mediocre meal, then a good one, then a bad one. It is expensive so one expects a consistently good meal. The last meal left us feeling pretty irritated at them, and we... More

We knew the restaurant was highly rated and came highly recommended. Frequently, the restaurant doesn't live up to the reviews. This restaurant did. We enjoyed everything we had from the shared Tuna Sashimi appetizer, the entrees of mushroom zucchini gnocchi with Lobster, and the Salmon. Each dish was bursting with flavor and thoroughly enjoyed by both of us. The service... More

Excellent choices made the decision difficult, but we came away inspired to try to replicate the tequila cream in the mussels and the dilly side salad. Excellent value!

For our last night in Bar Harbor we wanted to have dinner at a "fine dining" restaurant; Fathom lived-up to its reputation! We stopped-in for a Sunday evening dinner at 6:30 on May 19th. The decor is pleasant and the music was quiet and did not interfere with conversation. The server was extremely friendly and helpful. We ordered the Chateaubriand... More

goat cheese stuffed courgette, zucchini gnocchi with lobster and amaretto creme brulee...what more do you need to know?!

Food was fantastic. I'm not really a foodie but the meals we had were excellent. I loved the atmosphere and the QUIET music. Everywhere you go now a days plays such loud music, you can't think or talk. This was so pleasant. Will go there again. A great choice made by the Quimby Inn. Thanks

Fathom has just started a Chef series! The first one, held January 24, offered a 6 course duo tasting menu created by chef/owner Josh Heikkinen and his mentor, chef Michael Anderson of August Moon Catering. It was a sell-out, understandably so with the meal they prepared. This week, Feb 27, will be #2 in the series where Fathom Chef Josh... More

The owners of the B&B where we stayed recommended Fathom. We decided to go there to celebrate my husband's birthday. It was the PERFECT choice! The food was delicious, ambiance was lovely and service could not have been better. We particularly enjoyed the fact that dinner was perfectly paced - no one rushed you, but you also didn't wait too... More

Just had a terrific meal at Fathom. Very good service, nice atmosphere and great food. The caesar salad and lobster and snapper spring rolls were very tasty appetizers. Scallops with brussel sprouts were tender, fresh, sweet and delicious. Zucchini gnocchi with lobster and brown butter contained 1 and 1/2 lbs of fresh Maine lobster meat and the Chateaubriand beef filet... More
