So we went here for Lobster summer roll after a long day of hiking...thinking it would be a lobster roll. Good thing we asked the waitress about it- I think we would have been surprised by what it actually is (more of a sushi type thing). We ended up skipping the lobster summer roll and instead got the grilled artichokes, chicken piccata, and the paella. All of the food (and drinks) were SO good. Absolutely amazing food we were blown away! The chicken piccata was perfectly cooked (I'm picky about my chicken) and the sauce was absolutely perfect for the meal. My boyfriend's paella was also amazing- he said it was the best he's had over here! The food and overall experience were great- we loved the vibe of the place and was the perfect dinner for the end of our vacation. Service was also great and quick- next time we're in the area we'll be stopping by again! read more

We recently dined here and overall had a very enjoyable experience. The restaurant offers a pleasant atmosphere, attentive staff, and a menu featuring well-prepared dishes made with quality ingredients. The presentation was excellent, and the flavors were memorable. The service was friendly and professional, although it was somewhat slower than expected given that it was the off-season and the restaurant was not particularly busy. While not a major issue, it was noticeable throughout the meal. One surprise was that bread was not included with the meal and had to be ordered separately as a side dish. While this may be the restaurant's policy, it felt a bit unusual for a restaurant of this caliber. That said, the quality of the food more than made up for these minor shortcomings. The kitchen clearly takes pride in its work, and the overall dining experience was a positive one. We would certainly return and would recommend it to others looking for a quality meal and a pleasant evening out. read more

Unmissable in every single sense of the word. Our experience here was nothing short of hospitable, delicious, accommodating and legendary. Arriving a little late, Chef was gracious enough to allow us to order a pinch behind normal kitchen closing, and everyone serving us was a ridiculously sweet, funny, helpful delight. Our food- 100/10. Tender lobster in the truffle risotto, smashing burger, perfect mussels, to die for appetizers and quick service. I loved my pineapple spicy margarita as well! Coming in as a highlight on our Maine trip so far- nothing but vibes from the people, the place, the plates and everything in between. read more

The food is fresh, flavorful with interesting flavors surprising the tastebuds. I haven't been here in a year and the bartender remembered me and my drink, impeccable service. Right on the water is beautiful Winter Harbor. A great find to visit and revisit. read more

Went here for a Friday night dinner for our anniversary dinner. The food and service were absolutely amazing! We got the lobster summer rolls for an app- so fresh and so light. I got the Korean tacos and my husband got the ribeye special. Both meals were absolutely amazing! Then for dessert we got the milk and cookies, the most perfect way to end the dinner. The restaurant was super cute and not too loud. Would 100% recommend read more

Beautiful setting. Great food. Gorgeous view. I had the pear and Gorgonzola salad, the mussels and the blueberry pie a la mode!

While visiting Acadia National Park for our 34th Anniversary, we were looking for a special restaurant and we decided to give the Treehouse a try. Wow! We are so glad that we did. The ambiance when you walk is so fun! The service was fantastic and the food is out of this world delicious! We had muscles for our appetizer, and their special baked potato and scallop chowder! Oh my! The best chowder I have ever had. My husband has the scallops for dinner and they were also very tasty. I had the mediterranean halibut, which was also very well done. We finished off the special evening with their blueberry pie! We have another good reason to travel back to Maine. Don't pass of this gem of a scratch kitchen. read more

Lobster Spring Roll was amazing! I will definitely come back to this spot, 100%. Highly recommend

We were driving back from Schoodic Peninsula and spotted the Treehouse Seaside Grill. When we travel, we like to try new places. Well, this place was a huge hit for us! The hostess was honest that they had reservations coming and a bunch of seated walk in's. So we could wait, or sit at the bar and enjoy the full menu and meet the owner of this establishment. We started with drinks. I had a Blood Orange Old Fashion and my husband had Lunch by Maine Beer company. Then we ordered our appetizers. I savored the local mussels and even shared them with my husband because the proportion was so big. My husband had the lobster stew. We have traveled to Maine for 22 years and this lobster stew was the best we have ever had. It was rich, creamy, with chunks of lobster and it was a treat for our picky tastebuds. I ordered another cocktail with Luxardo cherries. It was called a Dirty Shirley. An alcoholic take on a Shirley Temple. Unusual and good. We continued to sit at the bar and chat with Drew. He's a local gentleman who has come back to the area he grew up in and you could tell he worked very hard to take care of his employees and his guests. For dinner, I ordered the Lobster Spring Roll and my husband ordered the Seared Ahi Tuna Tataki. Both were delicious. We switched entrees because we liked the flavors in both! Treehouse ingredients are locally sourced and they have a global flavor. It's wonderful to travel and find a culinary gem like this place. We finished our stay with Maine Blueberry pie and Crème Brûlée Cheescake. I drank a macchiato and my husband had Auchentoshan, a single malt scotch which he hadn't had before last night. I know this review is lengthy but when we find a hidden culinary gem, we hope others discover it too. read more

Most places were closing soon while we were driving. This place agreed to cook us food to go while we were still in the car. They didn't even ask for a credit card. When we arrived, the food was ready and absolutely delicious. Lobster stew and local muscles were amazing . What's more ... I asked if we could go eat in the bar area, as the restaurant was already closed. Some guy sitting at the bar said , of course. Then he went out and got us silverware etc . Turns out it was an owner. Absolute five stars for that place. Two days later we drove by but unfortunately didn't have time to stop and eat again, but we realized it is also located in a beautiful spot right on the coast. Would love a chance to come back and try more items on the menu . read more

Great food and service. The inside of the restaurant is very well done and the manager seems take time to get to know everyone and make sure they are enjoying their experience. We had the truffle risotto with lobster and it was the best risotto i've ever had!! Definitely recommend. read more

Tree House meal was so delicious!! Staff were outstanding and so professional. The building is warm and inviting. I had the pear salad, a yummy soup of the day, and my husband had the tuna burger.

Always a great experience. The lobster spring roll appetizer as well as the tuna are delicious. Some of the best scallops I have had. Make sure you grab a cocktail as well! read more

Great creative menu, seafood and land (chicken curry or short ribs for example), good cocktails and wine. Good ambiance and view. Upmarket but still Maine chill. Owner is great, his daughter works at the restaurant, the chef does things with care. Great place for dinner when you're ready for a break from the constant lobster. read more

The crab cake was outstanding, but the service was not as good. The staff in the bar area kept ignoring me as they doted on the other tables. read more

Love this place! The service is outstanding and so is the food and drink. I most recently had the risotto and it was delish. A great bar area, and we enjoy eating there when it's just the two of us. Last summer had a great brunch. Definitely recommend!!! read more

Such a beautiful spot, gorgeous inside and out. Service was phenomenal. Drinks were delicious, The Hail Mary is a must, a perfect drink with the best bloody toppings I've ever had! Soups to die for, a bowl of Vichysoisse was made for a fall day in such a beautiful location. We shared the lobster spring roll, such a light and tasty app. And then Dinner OMG I had the Truffle Ravioli, every bite had me my tastebuds vibing! My wife had the Mediterranean Halibut, she said it was some of the best fish she's ever had! The menu has something for everybody! Worth the drive from Bar Harbor to dine at this fabulous piece of Maine, will be a normal stop on our trips to Acadia! read more

Its pretty good - the ahi tuna burger is a bit bland and the beet salad is lacking in beets .. but everyone for the most part liked what they got. Expensive .. but a nice atmosphere. If you get something that comes with fries - ask for extra ketchup right when you order as they seem to be rationing it for some reason. read more

The food is outstanding, but the service was slow. The Lump Crabcake and House Ground Prime Burger were very good. The waitress promised us bread while we waited for our entrees.....but the bread never came. So who knows what it was like with the butter. We were the only table around us who never got bread. Another table nearby was there for ~40min hanging out with drinks and eventually got bread when their appetizers came. The cocktail didn't seem to special or unique so went with local beer in a can. The beers on tap are your standard styles whether they are national mainstream or local drafts. So we went with Peak "Sweet Tarts" Blueberry Sour Ale and Wild Maine Blueberry Seltzer. Took way too long to get a 2nd can of Blueberry Sour from the bar. We got a slice of Blueberry Pie to go and can't wait to enjoy that! It was way too warm in the restaurant. It was very busy on a Thursday night with heavy rain blowing through. There wasn't much air circulation and people started cracking open the windows for air flow once the storm passed and the sun started to come back out just before sunset. read more

What a wonderful dining experience our family of six enjoyed this week at Treehouse! The service was exceptional, the ambiance was warm with gorgeous views, and the food was delicious. I had the beet salad and crab cake and enjoyed every bite. My husband said his scallops were perfectly cooked, our kids loved their pasta, and we were all delighted by the cheesecake dessert. We'll definitely be back! read more

Outstanding main courses. We went twice during our stay at nearby Acadia NP. Scallops, salmon, ravioli & curried chicken were all great. Service was top notch too. Only negatives are 1) Blueberry pie was poor quality and 2) No rolls or bread available. read more

We stopped in for a late afternoon cup of chowder after an afternoon hike on a cool fall afternoon. We were th first patrons of the evening, arriving a bit after 4 pm. We were seated quickly and had a nice view of the water. A bit surprised that clam chowder was not offered on the menu as it is pretty much a staple in Maine and I like to try different versions. Oh well, the soup of the day was broccoli cheddar I believe, but they also offered a rather pricey "lobster stew" for $18. We both opted for that thinking it would be a generous portion. My partner opted for a Diet Coke and I got a glass of wine. The wine was fine but the coke was flat. 2 bowles came to the table each containing about. 1 1/2 cups of milk based broth with 3-4 dime to quarter size pieces of lobster. It had a wonderful flavor but was quite watery. It had a thickness of 1 out of 5 and I feel something called stew or chowder should be a 2 or 3 out of 5 on the thickness scale. The waitress left the two bowls of soup and said "enjoy". I looked over and asked if the server brought any bread with the lobster stew (soup). She had not. My partner got up and went to the server and asked for bread. "We only have bread that comes with the mussels she stated". My partner came back telling me that and decided she should have said that would be fine. She motioned for the server to come over at which point we could tell she was getting irritated and she said I could give you croutons. We said the bread would be fine. 10 minutes later 4 small pieces of bread showed up, no butter. My partner had finished her soup by now, I had a few spoonfuls left. The server plopped the bread on the table and said " well, here's your bread" and left. Keep in mind we were still the only patrons in the restaurant! The bill came and they had the nerve to charge us $4 for bread service. So 2 medium sized bowls of watery lobster stew, a 6 ounce flat coke, a glass of wine and 4 little pieces of bread cost $60 brought to us by a rude server. Nice atmosphere in the restaurant, but for the money, more should be expected....at least bread and butter with stew and served with a smile. read more

I was far from a fan of the previous restaurant at this location so it was with some trepidation that I tried Treehouse Seaside Grill. We were a party of 6 and all I can say is, what an incredible and wonderful surprise! Every dish was truly superb. The lobster spring roll, local mussels and seared ahi tuna tataki were standouts. The halibut and salmon were as good as any fine restaurant in New York City. Braised short rib bolognese was hearty, full of flavor and very satisfying. There was not a bad dish between us. I even loved the way my martini was served; icy, lemony and in a beautiful glass. I was too full for dessert but was told they were great. Our waitress was as pleasant and as accommodating as could be. The is a very happy development for Winter Harbor and I can confidently say it is worth the trip from Ellsworth or wherever else you might be Downeast. Congratulations to the Chef and Staff for providing such a memorable dining experience. read more

Excellent service and impeccable food! Everything was fantastic from start to finish. We had a party of eight sat at the big wood table. We had a variety of dishes from seared scallops, halibut, NY sirloin, ravioli, bolognese and crab cakes. Each meal was delicious! We loved this place! Our waitress, staff and chef were wonderful! I hope to come back on our next vacation! Definitely worth a trip-please visit local eateries. This will not disappoint! read more

We were up here on vacation, and this was our favorite spot, hands-down. Andrew, Amy, and the rest of the team are absolutely amazing. From cocktails to the food, to the overall atmosphere, this place is terrific! Keep up the great work! We will most certainly be visiting Maine again, and the staff (particularly Amy and Andrew), atmosphere, food, and cocktails at the Treehouse Seaside Grill are one of the "maine" reasons! read more

I'll start off with saying, I know this place is new, I understand the service industry is suffering, I myself am a supervisor at a popular seafood restaurant in a high tourist area. That being said, I am disappointed I wasn't even able to try the food. I made reservations for 6 pm for a table for 2, with an ocean view, was told that would be possible (I made this reservation a day in advance). Waiting room was packed on arrival, and 4 people were sat before us (and didn't have a reservation). I was told a table would be ready in 20 minutes, and the table I reserved with a view wouldn't be available. After the 20 minutes, we were told it would be still be a few more minutes. Two people walked in at 6:30 and I'm almost certain the manager or head chef told the hostess to move around tables so these people could be sat right away. Honestly this experience reminded me of the Seinfeld episode where Jerry reserved a car and they ran out of cars "The reservation keep the car here. You know how to take the reservation but don't know how to hold it, which is the most important part of the reservation." read more
