We had the pork belly skewers and the crispy vegetarian spring rolls and they were delicious. Unfortunately we ordered the smash burgers for dinner and they should be removed from the menu.

I had the Mediterranean Mezzo for my meal and if you'd like it gluten free you can ask for extra cucumbers instead of the pita bread. The waiter was nice enough to bring me the cucumbers after he brought out the dish as there was an abundance of pitas in comparison to the rest of the items. They give you 3 dips which were all delicious. Tzatziki, olive dip and a Muhammara which is a red pepper dip. We then got the Oysters Rockafeller to split. Lots of tobiko. Heavy sausage flavor. I would probably skip those next time. I will say regarding drinks, they have a beautiful cocktail list but my stomach wasn't feeling great so instead of a normal spicy margarita or something similar, I asked for a dirty martini and it came out with a funky flavor. Most likely too much vermouth. The poor waiter took at least ten minutes before returning with a new martini without vermouth. He or the bartender clearly did not know how to make this. If I returned to the area I'd definitely return for a funky cocktail and something a little more adventurous on the menu.

They had a comfy waiting area nearby the host stand. The host also did a great job of making sure you could hear your name being called. We sat in the outdoor seating, which was covered and really a great Maine experience. Service was friendly, and the food came out very quickly. It felt like a Gilmore Girls/Stars Hollow-esqe scene. I ordered the benedict, coffee, and the blueberry pancake. The pancake was one of the best things I've eaten in Maine. It was a perfectly crispy on the outside, thin and absolutely delicious pancake. To top it off there were real Maine blueberries and real maple syrup. It was simply delightful. If you find yourself in Bar Harbor, make sure to go to Cafe This Way.

Whales Rib is a warm, cozy place with views of the water in the village of Deer Isle. Servers are young and willing and pleasant. Eager to serve and answer questions. Reservations online are a must, but they will accommodate walk ins on the deck, not in the dining room. Food is amazingly good. Mussels are small but super tasty. "Local Greens" were mostly baby beet greens with beets, candied walnuts, and a chocolate vinaigrette. All food was inventive, well imagined, and delicious. The lobster "pot pie" was the tastiest preparation of lobster I have had with sweet baby carrots and a lobster bisque sauce. Menu is short and limited, but each item on it is agem. Deserts are blazingly good. My only complaint was it is not handicap accessible with a long path around to the back of the building with several granite steps with no hand rail and then 3 steps up to the deck with no ramp I could see. Also, it is a little pricey, but I am willing to pay for food this well prepared.
