Very good food! My wife had the scallops, which were delicious, and I had the stuffed lobster tail (with claws), which was also very filling and great to eat. The view is awesome. Highly recommend!

Went for dinner at about 6 PM on Friday, May 17th, 2013 and had a very good lobster bisque and lobster roll with fries. The lobster roll was very good, well loaded with lobster and light on the mayo. The fries had to be some of the best, the absolute best, we've ever had. Hot, crispy exterior and soft inside,... More

We had a great time at the West Street Café. The lobster tails and broiled fish we ordered were excellent, the wait staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was very relaxed. We tried our very first Maine blueberry pie here and loved it. The local blueberry beer was special, too.

My family and I enjoyed lunch at the West Street Cafe. My husband ordered a lobster and need a tutorial on how to eat it. The server was so nice to show him. My son and I enjoyed their lobster rolls. Nice atmosphere and good service!

Took a week long road trip through the US, as we do every summer, and the meal that we ate at the West Street Cafe was the highlight of the trip. The staff were great - enthusiastic, helpful, polite. The decor is so warm and relaxing. And the food... dear God... it is the stuff that dreams are made of.... More

My husband and I stopped in for the early bird down east special. We were not disappointed. Everything was fantastic. Loved their clam chowder and blueberry pie and of course the lobster was great. The service was quick and everyone was super friendly. This place is nothing to look at, but for a cheap delicious seafood meal I highly recommend... More

made our 1st trip to Bar Harbor in October and we ate supper at 3 restaurants, which all was good. However this was our favorite and we are glad we ate here on the last night as we might not have tried the others. The food was excellent, the service was good and the price was good for what we...

This is a lovely locally owned bistro within a few minutes walk of the town pier. They operate an early bird special up till 6pm- but ignore that and just enjoy the incredibly good value your get from the main menu. Being from the UK, now used to fish being frozen (for some time occasionally) prior to serving- and the... More
