    Mussels with rosemary/garlic sauce and calamari
    Luis R.

    Came here for lunch, seating was a little slow but the food made up for it. Both had regular drinks, then ordered calamari was very fresh and tasty, also had the mussels with rosemary/garlic herb sauce very fresh and full of flavor I wanted to drink all the juice(so good) and I also had their Diablo burger(jalapeño and cheddar) and let me say it was by far one of the best burgers I've ever had, I don't know what they put on it but it was delish, perfectly(cooked medium) don't even know how to describe it but it was amazing.

    We had such a great lunch there one day that we decided to go back for dinner. Dinner was great and service was outstanding. We met the owner/cook and fun to hear his story. Highly recommend and views were the best.

    I loved the view from our seat as there are so many boats it's fascinating. They have a nice drink menu and I chose a martini that had blueberry vodka and rhubarb. It was very tasty. Our server was very nice and helpful. The menu has a variety of sandwiches, salads and entrees. I wasn't all that hungry so I ordered a flatbread. We waited quite a while, and when it arrived, I thought I had been served a kids pizza. This flatbread was tiny and the crust wasn't really cooked. This was not at all what I was expecting. Although I enjoyed the view, the food wasn't what I anticipated.

    After a long day of hiking and driving, the Upper Deco was the perfect dinner spot. The service was wonderful, the atmosphere was laid back, and the food was great! What better way to end the day? The view of the harbor was so peaceful. We enjoyed some lobster bites (not pictured) and some seafood dip (also not pictured) but delightful nonetheless. I would recommend the shrimp scampi or the clam chowder!

    Dining with a view and live music!

    Sunday after with a jazz band and a raucous audience! Lobster was delicious and meals for kids came out quickly. Service was attentive and friendly!

    We wanted to get away from the crowds in Bar Harbor and we picked a winner! The view overlooking the bay is spectacular. They have a great selection of local craft beers, which we were looking for. We had a couple of appetizers, the Baked Crab Dip and Fried Lobster. Both were excellent. Danielle and her father treated us like locals! Thanks for a great experience.

    Good service, good view. Decent food. $27 for an average smallish Lobster roll. $9 for a local draft beer which is pricey.

    They stopped serving last night before they were closed. We would have come earlier if we had known that.

Desert Island's Somes Sound--alone, but the service and food were fantastic, too. We stopped in for a late lunch / early dinner during our Acadia vacation based on a recommendation from a co-worker and we are very glad we did. I had the fish sandwich with fries and a specialty cocktail made with bourbon, ginger beer and honey (I forget the name). The fish sandwich came for way more than enough perfectly cooked haddock and a crunchy and delicious beer-batter crust. The fries we excellent, too (they can so easily be bland and boring, but these were not!) The cocktail was ice-cold (perfect for this hot summer day) and delicious, if a little sweet. My partner had the Mediterranean Plate which came with Grilled Flat Bread, Hummus, Tzatziki, Marinated Cucumber Salad, Marinated Olives, and Feta. She loved all 'the subtle and distinct flavors that went together so well!' Note that Batson River Fish Camp has two locations and is part of Batson River Brewing and Distilling. This location is on the beautiful grounds of the Claremont Hotel in Southwest HarbFor, ME.

The inside was cozy and rustic with a clear fisherman's vibe. My wife and I ate here for our 15th wedding anniversary while on vacation in Acadia. We started with the fisherman's chowder, which is probably the best chowder I've ever had. It wasn't too salty (which is almost unheard of) and came with tons of lobster and other seafood. We both devoured it. The only problem was trying to make sure that you didn't burn your mouth because it was so good you didn't want to wait to eat it. I got the tuna and green bean casserole while my wife got the pasta bolognese. Both were good, but the tuna really stood out. It was seared, sushi-grade, blackened tuna over chopped green beans that weren't in any way over-cooked with a small pea-shoot salad. The name didn't do the dish any justice. We also had a few decent local beers in cans, which both paired well and were yummy.
