Side Street Cafe

Really good pub with a twist vibe. The lobster Mac and cheese was sooooo good, I’d definitely get it again. I liked that the Mac and cheese was a little light, but with good flavor because the lobster is so rich. My mom had the shrimp salad which was delicious as well, shrimp were cooked and seasoned perfectly. We ended with the blueberry pie, which was also super tasty. Their lemonade is also really good! Definitely would recommend for a treat. Staff were nice and attentive. It’s a super kid friendly restaurant so it got a little loud near us, but I definitely appreciate this for families with kids!

Day 2: Review update: yesterday, I came and left tree stars (review below). Today, I came back because there was nearly nothing else open on Easter Sunday eve in Bar Harbor. My $20 lobster stew was actually quite good, tasty, and there was a decent portion of lobster meat in it (more than what there seems to be on the pic). Service was still very good. I have to say, my experience today was different and, according to it, I’d come back and recommend it to friends.
Day 1: Not impressed but service is good. $25 for a lobster Caesar salad with very little lobster, a couple of spoonfuls at best, far less than what you get in a roll. Also, it was drowning in Caesar’s salad sauce, which made the dish quite salty. Food is not inedible but I wouldn’t be back in a hurry.

They were busy, but service felt a tad slow but friendly nonetheless. The mac and cheese options are worth trying but you MUST get the blueberry pie as dessert with ice cream and warmed up. I've never had a piece of pie literally melt in my mouth like that. Wife was a big fan of the apple cider margarita as well!

Had to wait about 10 mins for a table, hostess was friendly. Our table was ready and our server was friendly and patient. We got the crab dip, we recommend that was very good. We ordered the lobster melt and the Cuban sandwich. Which both were very good and filling. The classic and blue margaritas were good. Overall the food was good and the staff friendly and helpful.

A pretty good spot in Acadia National Park to eat. We visited twice. I had the Nomad burger the first time and the grilled chicken Diablo sandwich the second time. Wife had the lobster cesar salad, the salad could have had a bigger lobster portion. Burger was great. We also had the clam chowder, that was good also. One of the best spots in the area. Most places around only sale fried food which is not our preference. If we are in the area again we would come back. Customer service is pretty good.

We ordered spinach and artichoke dip to start, a burger, and a fish sandwich. They had a gluten free bread option but the whole sandwich was falling apart. The sandwiches were okay, and the spinach and artichoke dip was good, but I don’t understand all the hype. Maybe we should have stuck with the popular items on the menu (mac and cheese or lobster rolls or margaritas).

This restaurant is very unique in its own way. Our server Shawn (or Sean, I apologize if I misspell the name!), was very welcoming and fast! Although he was our server, many other servers would check up on us when passing by which I thought was awesome! The hospitality was amazing and the food was delicious. This restaurant and its staff are astonishing to say the least and we will be back!

We were recommended this place by a local and we were so appreciative for the tip! All of our food was incredible, the menu was very large and diverse, and our server Ty was so friendly! Plus there, was an easy parking lot near by! Next time we are traveling back to Bar Harbor, we will definitely have to eat here again!

Visited this restaurant with my family. Very friendly staff, they gave packets of play doh or putty for them to make into whatever fun things they came up with. At the end of dinner they put them on a table up front with many others for people to see.. Fun!

The food was really good, big portions! Very tastey! Drinks were good if a little strong but excellent. Our server was top notch and very friendly & attentive. Great atmosphere and nice and cool. The food arrived in record time, we were all surprised at how fast it was.

Parking... Drive around, you'll come across something sooner than later. You can't complain, it's Bar Harbor!

Definitely a place to visit twice or more!

Lobster rolls. That's all I can say. Besides lobster mac n cheese. The best. No wait to get this amazing food. Also had the margarita of the day - apple cider! And our waiter was amazing. Great date!
