    Crazy expensive. We were seated right away during lunch hour no wait. Food was good but very pricey. Oysters Rockefeller was $22 for 4 pcs. Service was straightforward.

    Came here to try the steamers as was told had to have steamers in New England. I don't think I'm a steamers person, would have much preferred them fried! Lol. Nice restaurant, more of a fancy atmosphere going on compared to other BH restaurants we ate at. Clam chowder was good, felt it was missing a little bit of seasoning and bit too thick. Had the blueberry brûlée for dessert which was very good better than the pie I had tried elsewhere. Good French fries.

    Prime Ribeye

    Perfectly cooked medium rare ribeye and veggies. My wife ordered the seafood Alfredo and it was very good and loaded with fresh seafood. Atmosphere was cozy and warm as we enjoyed dinner next to the large windows looking out at a rainy evening.

    Looks amazing

    Food was ok and the steak and lobster was good I ate with a group and just went by what others around me said price is fair for the area

    The beautiful flowers baskets by the windows got my attention. I ordered the blackened Fish Tacos which were so flavorful and delicious! We also ordered the Lobster Roll and my friend said it was really good. We had the window seats overlooking the harbor. Service was great!

    Best meal we had in Bar Harbor. The food here is something else. We ordered the lobster boil, lobster tacos, and haddock tacos. The fish tacos came with blueberry pineapple salsa which was delicious. If you like quality seafood, you'll like this place. The service was great as well. Check it out for yourself!

    My daughter and I stumbled into this place on a rainy afternoon. The waitress was absolutely delightful. She saw we were freezing and suggested the perfect gf meal for me on a day like this, tomato soup and lobster grilled cheese. Wow, amazing and being gf I don't remember the last time I had a grilled cheese with lobster no less. My daughter tried the beer flight and fish tacos, she was quite pleased. Give this place a try it was great.

    Amazing! Delicious early dinner after biking in the park all day! The haddock was divine and bolognese for my husband equally delish Our server Sammie - wonderful! Key to a restaurant experience. A must try! A repeat worthy spot - even for vacationers

    Dog-friendly and delicious. Testa's Bar & Grill in Bar Harbor was a win all around. One of the best clam chowders we've had--super creamy, packed with clams, and maybe even a hint of lemon zest. The fish tacos were fresh, and the lobster roll had big chunks of meat with just enough mayo. The best part? They're dog friendly and even have a dog menu. After a long day hiking in Acadia, our pup got to enjoy some chicken and rice on the patio right along with us. Our server was great too, even with some iPad issues--super friendly and on top of everything

    Maine Lobster Dinner
    Alex L.

    Pretty good food for the price point but nothing crazy. I only tried the Maine Lobster Dinner which was pretty good for the price. They had outdoor seating and was a very dog friendly place which was fun for them.

    Marina B.

    This was easily the best food we had during our Acadia trip. What a lovely spot! We tried a whole bunch of things: - Oysters - Flash fried lobster tacos - Fish Tacos - Grilled cheese, soup & salad - Burger patty from the dog menu Everything looked and tasted SCRUMPTIOUS. And I absolutely loved that they have a dog menu so we couldn't just treat ourselves after a nice hike, but also my dog. Good service too. Highly recommend!

    Taste of Maine and fish and chips.

    We were camping in the area and saw a review for Testa's on RV Life. We made a reservation for after a big hike in Acadia National Park (you don't need reservations but they will take them!). We were seated outside right next to heaters... score! We were promptly greeted by our Server and she was attentive throughout the night. My husband ordered the Taste of Maine (it was about $45 I think) - it had a HUGE lobster, clam chowder, mussels, claims, corn and potatoes. He couldn't finish it all. I'd highly recommend Tests for a great dinner!

    We went to Testa's a little weary as the yelp reviews weren't fabulous. However, I'm so glad we still went! Everybody I was with (which was 6 people) loved their meals!! I would absolutely go back. To start we got calamari and it was so fun having the mix of vegetables within. The sweet Thai chili and ranch was a perfect balance of spice and flavor. Definitely order as a starter. I got the lobster tacos, and boy were they yummy. I couldn't get over the blueberry and pineapple salsa. The tacos had a hefty amount of sauce as well, just the way I like it! David got the halibut and had me try it. It was amazing and so fresh! Definitely recommend upgrading to the fries as well. They were so airy and delicious. Our waiter was very nice and accommodating to my sister who has a lot of food allergies.

We requested to sit by the window to have my birthday lunch and loved watching the sun set over the water. This is in a prime spot right by the wharf and has a gorgeous view of the water by the windows, but has a great bar and more seating in the back. Menu is huge with sandwiches, fish, pizzas, salads, etc. We went with the warmed brown butter lobster roll and a margarita pizza add sausage. My husband is a pizza guy - has it like 5x a week - so he's picky. He loved this pizza and said it was really top tier. I also thought it was very good - crust and toppings all great and cooked well. Sometimes margarita pizzas are runny due to less cheese/sauce ratio but this one was good and crust was yummy. The lobster roll was a different way to have it - I usually have it in the mayonnaise sauce chilled, this one was warmed up with brown butter on a delicious bun. Very good. They have 3 different lobster rolls on the menu to satisfy whatever the craving/need. For desset - we chose the chocolate death parfait. It was SO good. Not something I would usually get bc it was so heavy - but we were in town for my birthday so, treat yo self! Layers of chocolate cake, dense white marscapone cream and chocolate mousse with caramel and toffee chunks. Yeah, sign me up for that. Don't forget to visit their gift shop directly underneath and off to the side - it's huge! It actually has far more than the standard cup and t-shirt or hat. Expect loads of gifts and souvenirs and some awesome t-shirts. We got more than a few things in this surprise shop. 100% recommend this place.

We had a wedge salad to start which was served a bit differently with their house-made vinaigrette. My husband chose the lobster enchiladas with rice and veggies and a cilantro cream sauce. These were VERY good and I was jealous. I loved them. I chose the fish of the day which was haddock with rice and veggies and a pesto sauce that was SO good! Very fresh and filling. Large filet of fish on this plate. For dessert, I wanted to try the Indian Pudding a la mode and our server informed me that it was very rich and was somewhat like pumpkin pie, ginger cookies and bread pudding. It was something different, but VERY potent and a bit much for us. We swapped it out for the blueberry apple crumble and were much happier with that. All in all, a wonderful dinner on a rainy night for my birthday. We'd happily come back to this spot for a date night while in town.

Definitely took away from the overall vibe. That said, I'd still come back just maybe not on such a hot day?
