    The sand bar is one of my all time favorite bars. After going one time I was blown away with the value you get for your money. Keep rockin!

    This resturaunt is genuinely the only good resturaunt in Vinalhaven since the Harbor Gawker is gone, and the Nightengale is horrible beyond belief but it doesn't show up on here.

    Have been 3x to Cafe Louis betw Sept 2024 - Dec 2025. The first visit was on Labor Day Monday…read more2024...it was uh-mazing! I thought it was the bomb, esp the food and service. Have returned twice since then. As the menu is small and hasn't changed since my first visit, the charm has worn off. I usually share the roast half chicken plus 2-3 sides. The meal was absolutely flavorful on my first visit but not so much the last visit in Dec 2025. Maybe it was a bad night? I thought the flavors fell flat and service was not as attentive. I was celebrating the holidays by treating friends to dinner and had to wave down someone twice to order rounds of drinks. I will give any establishment 20 stars if they are paying attention as to whether your glass is half empty. For me, the food can be excellent or blah but excellent service can make or break a restaurant.

    First off the food was delicious. The question is what are you willing to ignore to enjoy it?…read moreStarting with cleanliness -- spider webs above our table and food stains on the walls. (See pics) Hospitality is completely absent. No one made eye contact for a prolonged period of time after we entered. Yes, it is a very small space, but there was one waiter and one bartender. Never received set ups. We rooted around in an exposed cabinet and snagged our own. And they don't carry any sodas whatsoever. So... enjoy the food but pack your patience and perhaps don't look too hard at the walls of the dining room.
