    New egg yolk to replace my cooked eggs Benedict
    Mel S.

    We were really excited to try this place as it has good reviews on Yelp and is super cute, but were ultimately a bit disappointed. Service and Staff: - The staff was nice and they are accommodating with us initially sitting outside and then switching to inside Food and Drinks: - Chai latte: this was good - the cinnamon on top was a nice touch - Traditional Benedict: my friend asked for sausage instead of bacon on her Benedict. She wasn't clear what kind of sausage, but we wish the server said what kind of sausage they had. My friend was expecting a sausage patty, not sausages cut in half - Special Benedict: this was pretty disappointing. There was very little salmon, the egg was overcooked, and the biscuit was very dry. We asked for new eggs that were poached (as eggs should be with Benedict). I received new eggs in a bowl without any of the seasoning. It would have been okay if there was enough hollandaise sauce to add to these, but the sauce was also very limited - Blueberry Pancakes: these were good and filling Miscellaneous: - Street parking available - Indoor and outdoor seating available - Two gender neutral bathrooms

    To start, as a cat lady myself I love the atmosphere here. All the cat decor and the paw print tables, plus everything being so colorful makes it wonderful to sit here. The juice is fresh and comes in a chilled glass. Perfect fluffy pancakes and I got the freshest banana I have ever had on the side. Peak ripeness. The French toast was made with a baguette which was interesting but it was very good! Typical French toast taste and soft. The corned beef hash was one of the best ones my friend has ever had, and she got poached eggs which were done perfectly with the tight whites and runny center. She described the meal as "Devine".

    We were seated very quickly at 7:30am (less than 5 minute wait) and had quick service. Most menu items came with an order of spicy home fries and a biscuit with strawberry butter which were delicious. :) We tried the corned beef hash and summer scramble with a blueberry pancake to share. Both entrees were around $15 each and the pancake was $5.50.

    Corned beef hash was the best I've ever eaten. Hands down. Don't miss this place! Pricey, but worth every penny. Quaint location, in downtown Bar Harbor, but on the outskirts of it. Easy to get to, with plentiful (pay) parking around it. The four of us agree that of our 12 days on the road thus far, this was the best meal we've eaten. No one in our party was even mildly disappointed. Service was fine, very polite and friendly.

    Loved the atmosphere and food. Get the smoked salmon eggs Benedict! Nice place, friendly service, great food. Hopefully we can enjoy the outside dining area next time.

    I'd heard so many wonderful things about this place, but I felt like it was just okay. It certainly fueled me up for a full day of hiking but I felt it was incredibly average. The cafe mocha was way too sweet. I got the ho hum as my breakfast and it was nice and filling. The eggs were fine, the potatoes were a bit too raw for me, and I wasn't a big fan of the biggest and strawberry butter which was what I was most excited about. I felt like the biscuit was super dry and the strawberry butter seemed to be just regular butter. It is a super cute place though. I love their logo and the cats on all their mugs!

    I love that the food is local and seems fresh. We got the farmers scramble and the summer scramble. The spicy sausage was good and the eggs were yummy. The potatoes didn't taste like they had spice on them. The strawberry butter was good, I think it's whipped. But the biscuit was dry and definitely needed the butter.

    Get the lobster eggs Benedict breakfast with spicy potato's and try their homemade hot sauce. The Inn and restaurant has some beautiful flowers as you walk onto the property. Lots of cool cat signs obviously. One of the best places to eat your breakfast in Bar Harbor,Maine in my opinion. Paid street parking arrive early or no spaces to park around here.

    Beautiful inviting entrance

    This place had great reviews and lived up to them. Service was quick and food was delicious. Exactly what we were looking for in a last minute breakfast run before our hike to Thunder Hole

    I've stumbled onto 2 Cats 12 years ago and thought to myself "Wow! Such great food and fun atmosphere. I was hoping to experience the same thing today. First, positive. The decor is fun, whimsical, and just eye catching. It really feels like you're sitting in a fairytale storybook. The menu has a lot of options, and you don't have to be a lobster lover to enjoy what they have to offer. The bad. We had to get up to speak to the waitress when everyone else who came after us got their food. Not once did she come to check on us. After I confronted her, two of the three dishes miraculously came five seconds later. We checked the food and it was cool to the touch which is very disappointing. This means the food had been sitting at the counter for quite some time. Then she came over to see if the food came with a very sarcastic smile. We asked her about the last dish and she says with a very snarky tone " the food will come out when the food comes out". The last dish did come out and it was hot which proves that they forgot about the last dish and that our other two dishes were just sitting there, waiting. After we got our food, we never saw her again. She never came to ask if you wanted to refill our hot water or coffee. But when we finished our breakfast, she magically popped up with a credit card machine. She automatically included 18% gratuity, which is bonkers. Honestly, I would not have tipped her for the poor service we experienced. And she had the gall to point to another part of the credit card screen, saying "in case you want to tip more". The audacity. The salmon eggs benedict and the lobster benedict was mediocre at best. It might've been better if we received our food hot or if we weren't in such annoyance with the horrendous service. When I revisit Bar Harbor, two cats will no longer be on my top tier to visit. I hope the owners read this because who knows how many of these incidents slipped through the crack.

    Blueberry pancake

    My friend had come here a few years ago and was very excited to return! We came in on a Saturday morning and it was not very busy at all. We were able to be seated out on the patio right away! If you're averse to birds I recommend sitting inside as there are lots flying around all the flowers and tables. I ordered the farmer's breakfast and a side pancake for a little bit of everything! The scrambled eggs were nicely cooked and the sausage was very andouille-like with a bit of kick. The homefries were delicious as well! The biscuit was so good too - the strawberry butter was so unique! The pancake was nicely cooked and had lots of small wild blueberries in it. I recommend sharing as it's a decent size pancake for a side! It looks like they employ a lot of international workers which was super cool. There's a board by the host station with all the countries the staff is from!

    We visited 2 cats on a rainy day in June. The restaurant was slammed and they still managed to seat us within 30 mins. The food was high quality, the service was a little slow, and the ambience was homey. I ordered scrambled eggs, Canadian bacon, and toast. Good place to check out for breakfast.

    Really good food. Good atmosphere and coffee. Good service but a bit pricy. Very picturesque.

    Quick, friendly service and decent food. The pancakes were definitely the hit of breakfast. The apple omelet was pretty good as well.

    Is the full menu for breakfast still available during COVID-19? (Asking because someone mentioned only certain limited items were available, but nobody else mentioned anything about that)

    No- they have gone full takeout, with a different menu. They serve breakfast sandwiches, pastries, and fresh donuts.

    Wow! What an amazing meal in Bar Harbor! We stopped in for happy hour to just grab a cocktail (and…read moreoysters for me) and decided to come back for dinner! Felt like an old steakhouse inside with dark wood paneling. Intimate and quiet. Sat at The high tops by the bar and had incredible And attentive service from Ron, the bartender there. He makes amazing drinks! Highly recommend the Beehive!

It was wonderful…read more Service was very good and the inside of this restaurant is very charming with art displays on the walls and lots of wood. 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.

    This might have been the best meal we had on our trip to Maine!…read more A lot of restaurants weren't open yet but we came across this one. We were originally only going to order some small plates , but the one entree with fried chicken looked like something my husband would really like. Cocktails were great. Our server Eli was very friendly and helpful , he answered my questions. The lobster bisque was delicious, and I liked that it had a tempura lobster garnish and the caviar in it was a nice touch too. The tempura wasn't as crispy as I would have liked it , I think only the end part was, but still very good soup. We also got some oysters which were great with the sauces on the side. I ended up getting the halibut, which I never get at a restaurant- but it was so good! With the wakame butter, bok choy, pork belly, and sticky rice. All the flavors worked so well together! Husband got the Cantonese chicken- which was delicious as well. Very crispy, flavorful. We were so stuffed afterwards otherwise we would have got dessert. We ended up taking some Togo even though we had to drive for hours the next day. We put it in a cooler and ate some for lunch cold and it was still good. We had a great meal- i definitely recommended it.
