I just paid an absurd $41 something for two basic breakfast sandwiches and two coffees.They use a pricing model designed by Acadians to completely fleece you at the register. By the time they stack up individual menu prices, basic add-ons, and specialty drinks, your bill instantly hits sit-down restaurant prices for simple counter service. It is pure price gouging aimed at hungry travelers who are in a rush to get to Acadia National Park.The food is fine, but it is absolutely not worth getting ripped off. Save your hard-earned money, skip this highway trap, and go to a standard grocery counter or a normal local diner instead. Total scam.

My husband ordered the classic Reuben while I ordered the roasted beet salad. They were out of the maple dressing and I substituted the vinaigrette. The servings were generous and the service prompt. I appreciated the fact that the cashier gave us an overview of the menu when we arrived after I said it was our first time at their establishment.

Pretty standard texturally and flavorwise. Be sure to mix in the peanut butter that's smeared on the side of the cup! Smoked Salmon Toast: I enjoyed the cashew cream cheese. You can taste a hint of cashew but the texture is definitely creamy. I loved the smokiness of the salmon with the brininess of the capers and pickled onions. The bread held together. Unfortunately, according to their Instagram, this is their final season! Hopefully they are focusing more on their sister/neighboring restaurants The Annex and Side Street Cafe or opening a new concept.

Came here for breakfast. We ordered food and for some reason no one asked us if we want it to go or…read morenot, they just gave us to go plates even though we were dining in. Which was a little weird. I had avocado salmon toast which was ok. I had a smaller portion and it was way too small so I had to order pumpkin spice chia pudding. The toast was pretty decent. Chia seed pudding was ok, not very good. Breakfast burrito that my husband got was ok. We also had a berry smoothie which was decent as well. It was weirdly empty, and it connects to another restaurant, so it's not very inviting or relaxing to be inside. It seems like more a to go place than a nice relaxing sit down breakfast place. Didn't really enjoy the whole experience. Also was very overpriced to receive food in a carton container.

It's been a while. I figured there would be new, and hopefully friendlier, staff. I was half right. There was new staff, but unfortunately, they were as unwelcoming as the last batch. This place has no prices on any of the premade sandwiches or pastries in their cases (why??), so we asked "Hey there, how much are your pies and cookies?". The employee was in the lobby sweeping and said "I'm not sure. Somewhere between $3- $5. Maybe more". She doesn't look up. Doesn't offer more clarity. She just shrugged this non-answer to us and carried on. It was awkward. So my husband, trying to make light of it, says "Sounds like it's up for debate so how about I give you $2.50" and this girl gives us a dour look and snaps "Well, I'm not behind the cash register so I can't look at the prices, can I?". So, we have now learned our lesson with this place twice. Not sure what it is about the culture there that results in such bad service years apart and by different people. We won't be returning.

For years, my wife and I had been craving Mediterranean food, but we couldn't find any in the Bar…read moreHarbor-Ellsworth area. Then we learned that this restaurant had recently opened, and we just had to give it a try. It's a small place, with a few tables inside and several large picnic tables with umbrellas on a side lawn set back from the street, a surprisingly pleasant spot to enjoy a meal. We were greeted warmly upon arrival by a gentleman who was probably the owner. The menu is still fairly small, though we were told it will be expanded later in the season. We started with the carrot tarator, a yogurt-and-carrot spread served with warm pide bread. Whatever else was in it, it was outstanding. For our main courses, we ordered the grilled Adana and köfte. Both were flavorful, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. The sauce served on the side was excellent and complemented the dishes perfectly. Desserts aren't available yet, but they're expected to be added in July. To finish the meal, we had Turkish tea served in traditional armudi (pear-shaped) glasses. It was enjoyable, though a bit lighter than what my Turkish friend introduced me to. Personally, I prefer a stronger brew that showcases the deep red color for which Rize tea (Rize çayı) is famous. I usually add a little mint and cardamom as well, but that's just my personal preference. One other pleasant surprise: by Bar Harbor standards, the prices are quite reasonable. And for those who prefer it, there are seafood options on the menu as well. We'll definitely be back.
