    Good spot for breakfast before biking the carriage roads. Located in the main area of Bar Harbor so be prepared to pay for parking. We went on a Monday around 9 during mid-September and found a spot right out front. There was no wait and we were seated immediately. Overall the portions were large and the food was good. We tried the Farmer's Breakfast and the Blueberry Pancakes.

    Blueberry Pancakes and Bacon
    Ben M.

    My wife and I enjoyed our breakfast of blueberry pancakes, bacon, and a summer scramble, but agreed we were expecting a little more in the way of elevated ingredients or unique dishes. Everything we got was just fine, but nothing remarkable. Julie was a very pleasant and personable server. If you get a table on the porch, it can be a little bouncy, as the servers and other guests walk back and forth, but it's still a very pleasant place to enjoy breakfast. The restaurant has beautiful landscaping.

    Our friend had breakfast outdoors at Two Cats in Bar Harbor, Maine. We started with Katz paw, a biscuit top with sugar and pecans that was great. We had a combo breakfast with sausage and spicy hashbrowns and eggs that was excellent. The veggie omelet was very good. The lobster Benedict was very good, with excellent potatoes!

    The Farmer's Breakfast was excellent, with three eggs scrambled with peppers and onions, spicy home fries, flavorful sausage, and a really good biscuit with strawberry butter. Everything was packed with flavor, and I especially appreciated how substantial the plate was. Service was not great so I docked them a star.

    Salmon Benedict
    Olesya P.

    Came here for breakfast. It was our first breakfast place. It has no cats for people who are wondering. Apparently they used to have cats but not anymore. I wish they would have some. Service was decent but not amazing. Place is very tiny and tables are crammed together. It was uncomfortable to seat because of how small space there is. We all ordered different coffee and all of them were below average. Food wasn't great either. Salmon Benedict was very average. We never came back there because no one in our group liked the food or coffee.

    New egg yolk to replace my cooked eggs Benedict

    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

    Blueberry pancakes

    I will be taking the 6 hour drive to return to this spot if it is not simply for the biscuit and strawberry butter that came with my breakfast. It's obvious 2 Cats use fresh and whole ingredients. The service was fast and our waitress was very nice and attentive. I love the homey feel as we enjoyed our breakfast.

    Farmers plate and blueberry pancakes.
    Britamy C.

    This place is a must! We had the farmers plate, and the Ho Hum with a side of blueberry pancakes. My favorite bite was the potatoes, they were so flavorful!!!

    Lobster Benedict
    Andy Y.

    I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was in Bar Harbor, and 2 Cats is an outstanding breakfast option. The lobster Benedict and the blueberry pancakes were outstanding, and the orange juice was so fresh, it was like I was drinking the juice straight from the orange. Thanks again to the cooking and weight stuff for such an extraordinary breakfast before hiking Acadia national Park.

    Single pancake with a fresh cut up banana
    Julie M.

    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".

    Corned beef hash, biscuit, two eggs
    KingMickey t.

    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.

    Smoked salmon eggs Benedict
    Brandon G.

    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.

    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.

In fact, after…read moresampling plenty of Maine blueberry items over the course of our vacation, this was by far the best one. I would go here just for the pie alone. The pie earns this place 5 stars by itself. We started with the maple sriracha wings and while a bit pricy...we are in Bar Harbor after all...they were excellent and I'd get them again as a starter. The girlfriend got a painkiller and it was substantially large and very tasty, she was very happy with it. I tried a sip and thought it was good as well. The brown butter lobster roll was good, but I would get the Maine next time--I had gotten Maine style the night before so I had to switch it up. The regular fries are OK but the sweet potato fries are out of this world. The gf again was please with the fish and chips which are gluten-free and really good, she was blown away by the portion size once again. Slaw was on point. The decor was very eclectic and it was funny because they have a painting of a naked woman on the wall and these three young boys eating dinner at the table under it couldn't stop looking at it and giggling, it was hilarious! Moose head on the wall like all proper Maine establishments. Service was by Travis and he did a top-notch job, I'd request a table from him again in the future. And I would come back here the first night I was in town.

We had been on our Maine trip for almost a week and had been waiting for a while lobster. We both ordered the 1.5-2 lb lobsters. You can pick the out of the tank if you would like. We didn't have the heart to pick out dinner and look it in the eyes. I'm husband just chose the lobster plate which comes with a 1.5-2 lbs lobster and corn on the cob. I opted for the meal. Lobster 1.5lb lobster, cup clam chowder, corn on the cob and "famous" Maine Blueberry pie. Lobsters were good. Definitely couldn't had more than one. As always not enough meat if you're only eating lobster. Corn was tasty. I have mine to my husband, he was still hungry. The clam chowder was ok. I feel like it had been sitting in the pot for a day or so. Really thick and kind of concealed. Not the rich-creamy flavor I was hoping for. Kind of bland. Needed to add hot sauce. I tried a couple bites of the Blueberry pie. Very thick pie filling. Sweet and tasty. Felt like the crust was store bought. Not really flaky or buttery. Overall, good lobster. Touristy. I'd pop in again for a quick bite.

Inside is a typical modern upscale restaurant with a second floor that overlooks the park and water. We began with a smooth lobster bisque and I had the haddock special. The special was prepared over glaze with sweety drop peppers and was beautifully prepared. Light and flaky, but with a lot of flavor. It's far too easy for these to come out overdone, but this was done wonderfully. I enjoyed my meal here and would definitely recommend if someone was looking for an upscale evening.

When the latter party arrived and asked the Hostess about the earlier seating she couldn't have been more unaccommodating. Likened to an old school marm in a film taking place in the 1800's....a ridiculously stern demeanor and not what a Hostess is meant to do- But Greet. She then had a vendetta, circling the table telling us what to do several times. It was BAFFLING. She next told the proprietor that we took a phone call at the table. The Proprietor comes over to scold us! Still Flabbergasted....we are 2 people sitting across a table. Our conversation stops so that we can answer the phone for a quick question taking less than 2 minutes. It's a full restaurant, a table of 6 next to us, everyone is engaged talking, eating, drinking. No one gave us a look, a nod or a sign that we were interrupting their good time. The food was average, not worth amount charged. The poor waitress was mortified and so apologetic as she witnessed the ordeal.

If you like lobster and steak, (which I do) the flavors were on point. I ordered medium rare and it was textbook. This has made the top 5 restaurant steaks on my list, and I've cooked, interviewed, and let's just say... been around. The chef should be quite satisfied The wine as we were told goes in order of dry to less. The Pinot noir from Oregon was absolutely perfect to pair. Best place in Bar Harbor so far (: Definitely save this one for last!

    Miss Elizabeth B (6/25 Review),…read more I appreciate the time you took to go scorched earth on your recent review of Table Salt in Bar Harbor, ME. It was a motivating factor to visit the establishment, enjoy a lovely meal in a lovely town, and tip heavily. You claim to be a culinary source of authority. I think it's great that you own a Subway franchise in New York City, but I might hesitate from throwing around the word 'chef' too haughtily. I mean just because one wears a cowboy hat does not mean one owns cattle, am I right? Perhaps there were dishes on the menu that one could argue were overengineered, but they tasted great! And consider that you have no idea where in the culinary journey their chef is, nor what the market needs or will bear in Bar Harbor. The place was packed. Service was great. Food was divine! On a Tuesday night. Maybe next time you visit a restaurant, leave your Michelin yardstick in the trunk of your broomstick, and simply relax. Or possibly return to Bar Harbor Bicycle Shop, another establishment you experienced through your Vantablack-colored glasses and blew up on this site. I'm sure they would zealously rent you another bike if you promised to venture into Acadia and get lost. Cheers!
