The martinis were good, the chai bourbon sour was rather one noted, sour with the hint of the chai at the end, I was really looking forward to a stronger chai flavor. The chicken dumplings were really good no complaints, piping hot and crispy. I ordered the special shrimp and lobster ramen. It came completely mixed up, in a shallow dinner bowl, with minimal amount of broth. The noodles on top were drying out and not hot. The lobster and shrimp were overcooked, I found an egg shell piece and a piece of bacon (not part of the dish). Way too many green onions. The idea was so so good, execution was not. The others ordered the all you can eat haddock, the fries and fish were good. They were busy and had minimal staff, and half the staff there were training. Drinks and food came out slow. Our waitress did the absolute best she could with the cards dealt tonight. Expected more execution for the level of idea and pricing.

Disappointing Experience at The Thirsty Whale…read more We were looking forward to dinner at The Thirsty Whale during our visit to Bar Harbor, but unfortunately, our experience was just mediocre. Our first impression wasn't particularly welcoming, as the hostess was abrupt and unfriendly. Thankfully, our waitress was wonderful--friendly, attentive, and definitely the bright spot of our visit! I ordered the Blackened Fish Sandwich, which arrived with two lonely onion rings, what appeared to be the end slice of a tomato, and a plate overflowing with French fries. The fish itself was somewhat dry and just wasn't particularly flavorful or memorable. Having enjoyed an absolutely delicious fish sandwich at The Oasis in St. Augustine Beach, Florida, I couldn't help but compare the two. Unfortunately, The Thirsty Whale didn't come close. We weren't expecting fine dining, just a good, satisfying meal in a friendly atmosphere. While our waitress delivered excellent service, the food and initial welcome left much to be desired. Overall, not terrible, but certainly nothing we'd go out of our way to experience again.

We polished off the blackened haddock sandwich, the lobster bisque, and a lobster roll (not pictured), in about ten minutes. This was everything we were looking for in a New England meal, loads of seafood, flavor, and the atmosphere to go along with it. Personally I appreciated the size of the blackened haddock sandwich, the picture may not do it justice, but it was massive! Along with a side Cesar salad! We came (very) hungry, and left even happier!

Easily one of the highlights of my trip to Bar Harbor. I came here twice during a week long trip…read moreafter long morning hikes throughout Acadia and it hit the spot. I'm not the biggest fan of lobster rolls, but the hot roll here deserves a try. First time I got a large slaw roll just because it was a new take on a lobster roll and I didn't particularly love it, but it was loaded with fresh lobster. I happened to take a bit of my brother's hot lobster roll and it was leaps and bounds better. A line of thousand island on top of a lobster roll isn't the most appetizing and the amount of slaw you get is minimal and doesn't add to the depth of flavor at all. The second time I went for the large hot lobster roll and it was the most enjoyable meal I had during my time in Bar Harbor. There's 3 sizes: mini, small, and large available which is apparently 1/2 lobster, full lobster, and 1.5 lobster when I asked them how much oz was in each. Not sure how much oz it actually came out to, but it was a hefty portion for the large and quite filling due to the richness of the butter. This is a tiny seasonal take out only place next to Agamont Park overlooking the bay so you get to enjoy your lobster with a nice view and they offer free red blankets for you to use on the grass and return once you're done. The second time I went on a Wednesday they also had seating in the bar next door since the bar itself didn't open until 4pm. The prices are what you'd expect and honestly similar to what I'd get in Boston. They only open during lunch and the first time I went there was no line around 2:30PM on a Sunday, but the second time there was a decent line about 30 deep. The lines moved quickly and service was fast so don't get turned off if you see a line.

5 stars for the lobster roll! 2 stars for the clam chowder…read more I had the hot mini lobster roll filled with large pieces of fresh lobster perfectly cooked with just the right amount of butter on a soft delicious roll. I dream about this lobster roll. I cannot describe how outrageously delicious the hot lobster roll is. This is a must have in Bar Harbor. Unfortunately, while the clam chowder is not expensive, it was more of a potato chowder with an occasional small bite of clam. The bonus is it was served pipping hot - great to warm up on a cold rainy day. The negative is it was very salty and left me thirsty for water the rest of the day. As the name says, Go for the lobster roll!
