Lighthouse Inn - Bar Harbor

Very friendly and food was delicious and generous! Amanda made us feel welcomed and would recommend!! Service: 5 Location: 5

Phenomenal lunch here. Service was friendly and our waiter clearly communicated when he thought there might be a wait for the fried items. The fisherman's platter (fried shrimp, scallops, clams and fish) was enormous and so fresh and good. The clam chowder and seafood chowder was packed full of large seafood chunks and the broth was flavorful and not too thick. Rooms: 5

Horrible experience. Service at its worse. Wait staff totally ignored us after their friends arrived. Food took 1.5 hours and was cold. Service: 1

Down home place like they don't make anymore. Unpretentious. Crab cakes loaded with meat, not bread. Reuben was crispy on the outside, hot and melty on the inside. Would happily return for more.

When we arrived, it was a bit before their posted opening time of 4:30 PM, so we took a stroll to Seal Harbor beach, which was a short distance away. Our server welcomed us with warmth and attentiveness, consistently refilling our water glasses throughout our meal. For appetizers, we ordered the seafood chowder and stuffed mushrooms. They took a little while to arrive, but they were worth the wait! The amount of seafood in the chowder was unmatched and incredibly impressive. For our main courses, I chose the shrimp and scallop Juliet, while my boyfriend opted for the broiled halibut, which came with asparagus and potatoes at his request. My dish included a side salad. I really wish I had taken photos of our entrees because they were beautifully presented and the portions were generous! My meal was bursting with flavor and packed with so much seafood and vegetables that the pasta was almost hidden beneath them. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience from beginning to end. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal!
