Ben and Mikayla were the on-site staff and they were professional, courteous and efficient. They chatted a little with the kids and let them hold a live lobster.

My wife and I hired Coastal Critters to cater our wedding party this weekend in Bar Harbor, ME…read more From the beginning, James was friendly and easy to work with. He was very responsive, always emailing back within 24 hours or less. On the day of the event, the crew was fantastic. Very pleasant and easy to get along with, and extremely helpful. We ordered the basic buffet service and they went above and beyond, offering to bus tables in the back of the house where we had separate beverages and appetizers, and even making a 40 min round trip to get a new tap when our keg wouldn't work. The food was absolutely delicious! We had the lobster bake and land lover's grill. Everyone who attended loved it and many went back for seconds. I don't plan on getting married twice but if I do Coastal Critters is catering again! ;)

If I could give 4.5 stars, that would be better. Our food was good. We started with the mussels,…read morewhich would have been better with more/better bread. We had the Local Farmers pizza, and it was fine. We also had the salmon risotto which was superb. It might have been the best meal we had during our whole trip. The main problem was the service. It was so slow that they gave us free fries for waiting. Someone would come help us, and then go answer the phone or something random like that. We are still waiting on the ranch we asked for. So, food was good, but service needs some tweaking.

The ambiance was charming and historical while so spacious for our babies to roam around. And everyone who worked there was so accommodating and great to our little ones, offering whatever we needed and beyond to make them comfortable. The food was some of the best I've had in my life and my whole family agreed. The proof was in the empty plates we left! Oysters were so fresh, and the entrees were one of a kind - elegant and the perfect portion too. The homemade pappardelle pasta with scallops and shrimp was the tastiest dish ever. You can tell they put their hearts and souls into every ingredient and handle each element of the dish with finesse and intention. And don't forget about the ice cream and Napoleon dessert! All around amazing experience. Our server Anya was so lovely and kind and attentive and helpful. If we are ever in this area again we will definitely be visiting!

After noticing an earlier review, I checked my receipt for yesterday's meal. I was charged $11.44…read morefor the $9.99 meal-of-the-day special. The total with 8% Maine restaurant tax should have been $10.79. Also, the soda that came with the meal was warm and undercarbonated.

I would strongly recommend against eating here. The food is so-so, but more importantly, they…read morecharge you 16% tax not 8%. I was in here last winter and ordered the meal of the day combo which is listed as $6.99. My total came to $8.09. I was in a hurry so it was only later when I realized that for $6.99, the tax should have been .55 cents, NOT $1.09. I was in there again this evening, and again I was charged $1.09 tax on a $6.99 purchase. I asked him to ring it up again which he did rather reluctantly and came up with $8.09 again. I was too tired and hungry to argue any further, but rest assured, I won't be eating there again and neither should you.
