2 Cats Bar Harbor

Run, don't walk away from the 2 cats restaurant.
We walked in and there was one other person in the restaurant. The manager directed the hostess to seat us in a crowded little table right next to the other patron.
We ordered an eggs benedict that came with biscuits that were so stale that we couldn't even cut them. The eggs were overcooked. They described the meal as spinach and egg over a biscuit . Technically they gave it to us if you count the one raw spinach leaf under each egg.
The only thing good about the place was that the waitress was nice.
Several times while we were there we heard the manager yelling at the staff.
It cost us $40 plus a tip for a barely edible meal.
On the way out I told the waitress that we tipped her well because we understood that it wasn't her fault and I suggested she try to find a better place to work.
this place was horrible.

2 Cats is a delight. Not only was the atmosphere cozy and welcoming, the food was excellent and the staff was so kind and accommodating! Their biscuits are so good that we asked them for the recipe. The chef said no (we completely understood, these are trade secrets) but our waitress boxed up two of them for the road for us, completely free! Highly recommend for anyone visiting Bar Harbor.

We did not have a good experience. We ordered veggie eggs benedict. We got two hard boiled eggs with two strips of red pepper and two wilted spinach leaves on something they called a biscuit. The biscuit tasted like stale crumbs. It must have been little more than flour and lard. The home fries were really greasy. They advertised strawberry butter but we didn't see it. We left most of the meal and basically paid $40 for 4 hard boiled eggs.

The server was fine. She did her job well, but can't control what comes out of the kitchen.

The atmosphere was nothing special. They had napkins stuffed under the table legs to keep the table from rocking. The chairs were wooden planks that looked like they picked them up off the curb. I'm kind of skinny so they hurt my back and butt.

Lobster omelette is great, just a little of expensive, one is $28.
But still highly recommend for this great brunch.

Everything met my expectations. But maybe it was the circumstances I chose, standing in the rain waiting and being seated on the open air porch in the cold, that made me feel $80 (including tip) was higher price then I was hoping for. Especially when two of the dishes were plain French toast and blueberry pancakes, typically less expensive items. The menu makes mention of the higher prices being due to quality, local and mostly organic ingredients. Everything was played nicely with little slices of fruit. With even the biscuits housemade and real, no maple flavored syrup or those fake empty blueberries here. They even make their own hot sauce. Would I come here again? Yes! Would I bring 3 kids? Maybe not hah! I'll leave it to you to decide.

Very pretty space, nice staff, good and somewhat unique food options (I had strawberry/raspberry and almond pancakes, never seen that before). Downside is inside dining is fairly small cramped tables and the wait. Prices aren't great but not that high for Bar Harbor area

We got the traditional eggs benedict and gluten-free pancakes. The eggs benedict was great! I was told they were very delicious and the homefries were just the right amount of spicy. The gluten free pancakes were not good. The gluten free pancakes had a dry, almost cornbread texture and were not saved by butter or syrup. That was a letdown. But the staff were super friendly and the atmosphere of the place is fun (love the cat prints on the table). Would come back, but would definitely try something different than the gluten free pancakes.

Amazing breakfast. The food and the service was excellent and I cannot miss to have breakfast here when I visit Bar Harbor again. Highly recommended to all!

Best biscuits I've ever had, freshly squeezed OJ and great house potatoes. Top-notch blueberries in the pancakes were served with local maple syrup. Tofu scramble was great too

I would give zero star if I could. The restaurant had us waited for over 1.5 h for a Benedict and Omelett. There was no prior warning no proper apology and no gesture whatsoever. The waitress comes every 15 minutes to tell us the food is coming up yet we waited for almost 2 hours starved and frozen in the wind. We would not sit down and order had they told us how long the wait is or would’ve left for another person place had the waitress been honest about the estimated wait. Instead we wasted a whole morning there and felt sick after sitting in cold weather with no food.
