Lauren SloanAugust 14, 2013One of the best upscale restaurants on bar harbor. Get the Maine steamed lobster and the sides will complement perfectly. Lobster Mac comes with a whole lobster, YUM. Also do the blueberry pie. Do it!
Marissa SutherlandAugust 26, 2020wonderful and accommodating staff. the lobster risotto was in fact underwhelming but the oysters, scallops, lamb burger and drinks really made it a delicious dinner. would definitely come back!
Liam OliverMay 1, 2016Excellent meal and love the old house atmosphere. Always have a variety of beers too. They do a great Octoberfest too.
Donna McFaddenSeptember 8, 2019Excellent meal! Duck cassoulet and short ribs. Delish. Ate upstairs bc it was too chilly to eat outdoors but the gardens look beautiful. Next time!
