    Popovers (fingers NOT included)
    David B.

    My favorite meal of the trip! We tried fish tacos, a lobster popover, the burrata, and popovers and popovers, and everything wad mwah, including the view. It might be getting bonus points because the weather was impossibly good, but thems the breaks. Service was good too, and the decor was very charming as well.

    Best meal yet, during our week long stay on Mount Desert Island. Our son Shaun ordered the short ribs, they were awesome! Nancy had the salmon, it was incredible. I ordered a salad, which was good, but they forgot to put in the heirloom tomatoes, which was alright, as they included an extra popover, which were the best ever. Our server was superb, and he shared with us that he was from Turkey. A memorable meal, which is already on our itinerary for next year.

    Lovely views and service. The food was tasty however the popovers weren't popped each time I went and were flat. Still a nice experience.

    I was not going to stand in line at Jordan Pond to get a pastry. But. The same exact recipe is used at Asticou Inn. The SAME recipe. The popover was so good I didn't want to share the second one with my husband but I did anyway. The oysters were also a stand out. They were plump and perfect tasting. The medium rare ribeye was phenomenal. Go.

    Great welcoming to our lunch. Gorgeous flowers

    Group of 5 - and we were SO excited to eat here again. Wasn't able to come last year. We came from OK, VA, GA, TX. Sorority girls trip. In our early 60s but act like we are still in college. We got very excited about the popovers which we knew about of course from our previous visits. absolutely fantastic service especially since we had three separate checks! tip well - everyone working so hard Sitting outside was such a great experience too. The view is the best. Look forward to returning next year!

    Review for lunch on 5/29/2021: We ordered the lobster popover and the Hollander & de Koning Mussels. The popover is their specialty and is fluffy and tasty. The mussel was served with a special curry sauce designed by the chef that day, which was exquisite. Both the indoor restaurant and outdoor seating offer nice view of the sea.

    This is a great place with a fantastic view. A bit pricey but no problem- it's well worth it. They have easy choices- such as pizza and such, along with fantastic seafood entrees. DD had the oysters , which he said are the freshest he's had ad at a restaurant.

    Popover

    We had a wonderful experience at the restaurant. The food was fabulous and the service was attentive and friendly. The popovers are excellent and I also loved the mussels, lobster stew, and chocolate pot de creme dessert. We will definitely come back whenever we're here again.

    Bean burger
    Kristina B.

    Went for lunch - got in right away with a nice table on the deck overlooking the grounds and the water. Service was fast and friendly! Came here for the famous popover and it was very good! Comparing to Jordan pond very similar. Bean burger was tasty. Would have liked homemade chips. Lemonade was a bit sour. Spinach salad could have used more feta and berries. Overall a pleasant afternoon lunch but wouldn't go crazy to go back unless in the area for the garden right next store which is worth the walk through!

    Lobster Salad
    Annette P.

    Wow, way better than Jordan Pond Tea House! Didn't have to pay the $30 park entrance fee and had the original popovers, and fabulous Lobstah salad! The salad featured the tail and claws of whole lobster! River was an amazing server and the food was delicious! Next time going to stay at the Inn!

    A Maine Mojito.  What a berry treat.
    David J.

    First of all the view from the deck is fantastic! That makes everything taste better. But even with that taken out... I had the best oysters I have had in years...the heirloom tomatoes and bursts was amazing ( the chef ‍ put a finishing salt on top that gave you some salty flavor. Awesome dinner.

    The view from our table

    Beautiful view, shame about the door. It would of been nice to be outside. Otherwise the food, was good. A little pricey, the service was nice and fast. We were in and out in 45 minutes, on a Friday night. No reservations made. 3 stars is for the ambiance indoor food was 4stars. My salmon was cooked perfectly, but the quinoa was plain.

    We had this as our final meal in Acadia. The view from the porch was beautiful. The menu was not lobster and fish centric and was a nice change of pace from the other restaurants in Acadia. The salads were excellent and the popovers were to die for. I got a braised beef special and loved it.

    Best part of the meal. Haddock was fresh, batter was good and 'chips' tasted fresh too.

    Came here for breakfast. It was our first breakfast place…read more It has no cats for people who are wondering. Apparently they used to have cats but not anymore. I wish they would have some. Service was decent but not amazing. Place is very tiny and tables are crammed together. It was uncomfortable to seat because of how small space there is. We all ordered different coffee and all of them were below average. Food wasn't great either. Salmon Benedict was very average. We never came back there because no one in our group liked the food or coffee.

    We were really excited to try this place as it has good reviews on Yelp and is super cute, but were…read moreultimately a bit disappointed. Service and Staff: - The staff was nice and they are accommodating with us initially sitting outside and then switching to inside Food and Drinks: - Chai latte: this was good - the cinnamon on top was a nice touch - Traditional Benedict: my friend asked for sausage instead of bacon on her Benedict. She wasn't clear what kind of sausage, but we wish the server said what kind of sausage they had. My friend was expecting a sausage patty, not sausages cut in half - Special Benedict: this was pretty disappointing. There was very little salmon, the egg was overcooked, and the biscuit was very dry. We asked for new eggs that were poached (as eggs should be with Benedict). I received new eggs in a bowl without any of the seasoning. It would have been okay if there was enough hollandaise sauce to add to these, but the sauce was also very limited - Blueberry Pancakes: these were good and filling Miscellaneous: - Street parking available - Indoor and outdoor seating available - Two gender neutral bathrooms
