We were at a loss of where to eat dinner so we asked a local shopkeeper. She recommended Parkside and gave us a discount card so we gave it a try. We were very happy with our food. I had the clam chowder (very good) and the crab cakes. My husband had the haddock which was delicious. We also split... more

food was ok, not spectacular but not bad, not necessarily a great meal value wise, but your paying for location convenience; odd waiter kept talking about his tatoos and piercings to the table next to us, a little troubling. more

Best meals we've had so far on our 6 day trip !!! My wife had shrimp scampi and I had a pasta dish with shrimp, lobster and scallops, so we had a chance to taste it all. The seafood was to die for and the preparations were exquisite - subtle but delicious. The service was excellent also. The blueberry pie... more

This was our first meal (lunch) in Bar Harbor this trip. It looked nice, and we were hungry, so in we went. I was surprised to be seated outside in the plastic-lined patio, since it was a cool 50 degrees in Oct. We asked to be moved when I realized that the cool air was blowing under the plastic right... more

This spot is right in the downtown on the corner across from the common and looks fancy from the outside. Not sure about dinner although the menu looked pretty pricey, but as for lunch, it was fast and friendly and the patio was a nice area to sit on a warm summer day! The menu is scattered with seafood and... more

Atmosphere was very nice, Casey Jones sang in person! The Lobster bake was good, and the clam chowder is rated best (and was delicious). Although it was busy, our waiter was good. Nothing was over the top more

This restaurant was near our hotel and after looking at the menu we though we would give it a try. It was the most disappointing meal in Bar Harbor. more

Went for lunch on a rainy day. We were seated outside at a table under a leaky roof. Asked to be moved inside (where there were plenty of tables available). Finally managed to flag down a waitress (who said she had no idea we were there). After a delay were served luke warm soup--sent it back to be heated. Was... more

Food is pricey for what it is. ( Too much garlic for the shrimps , vegetables seasonning was not great ) But wine bottles are quite affordable. The blueberry pie is a must. And the service is excellent. more
