Best KPortal Reviews
We stopped for dinner after exploring the park. We enjoyed a very relaxing and delicious meal. The seafood Newburg was delicious. I had the grilled asparagus. Very good.
Phenomenal lunch here. Service was friendly and our waiter clearly communicated when he thought there might be a wait for the fried items. The fisherman's platter (fried shrimp, scallops, clams and fish) was enormous and so fresh and good. The clam chowder and seafood chowder was packed full of large seafood chunks and the broth was flavorful and not too thick.
We werensure what to expect upon arriving at the Lighthouse Inn for dinner. The dining room has a lovely old fashioned feeling complete with a piano player. We stepped out onto the deck to a table with the most breathtaking view with waves breaking just a few feet away. The food was quite good. My cashew crusted haddock was delicious and my husband's steak was perfectly cooked to a juicy medium rare. We shared a decadent dessert, the perfect ending to a perfect meal.
We had the seafood chowder and it was by far the best soup I've ever had! Excellent flavor and so much seafood in it. It wasn't thick and creamy like my husband expected, but the flavor was so exceptional that it didn't need anything else.
We happened upon this place & we're so glad we did! What a gem!
We were finishing up a day at Bar Harbor & Acadia N.P. We pressed the fork & knife button on the rental car GPS and it brought up this restaurant. We were hungry and it was the closest. So we headed in that direction.
When we arrived it was a little earlier than their 430pm posted open time, so we walked down to Seal Harbor beach for a bit. It was within walking distance.
Our server was delightful, very sweet and attentive, refilling our water glasses multiple times.
We ordered the seafood chowder and stuffed mushrooms as appetizers. They were a little slow coming out, but both were delicious! The amount of seafood in the broth was like nothing I'd ever seen before! I ordered the shrimp and scallop Juliet and my boyfriend ordered the broiled halibut. His came with asparagus and potatoes (at his request). I had a side salad included with my pasta dish. I wish I had taken photos of the entrees! The portions were fantastic! My dish had amazing flavor and was packed with so much seafood and vegetables that you could barely see the pasta!
All and all, it was a lovely dining experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
We live just up the road, and despite all the good eats at our disposal in Bar Harbor we still find our selves here time and time again. The food is fantastic (I'll share a picture of the scallops au gratin, my personal fave) and the drinks are as always good too. I believe a granddaughter - grandmother duo run the place, adding to the charm that this business has been in their family for generations. Come here if you're looking for a slower, non rushed atmosphere, excellent seafood, and a great time.I challenge you to walk there if you're spending time in Seal Harbor ! Thank you so much for always giving us such excellent service, even for takeout. We will be back soon!
I really want to rate this restaurant higher. It's cute, it's quiet, the staff are friendly, and if you dislike the Disneyland vibe of Bar Harbor, this is absolutely the antidote.
BUT. Staffing issues the day my family visited made it hard to rate higher. Dishes for our table came out at vastly different times and my homemade chowder (sooooo looking forward to trying it) had no salt or seasoning, and the potatoes in it weren't cooked all the way through.
I would really like to come back and give them another try at some point. I would like to see what they are like at their best.
Kelly, Kaitlyn and Kate made this place memorable. We've been on a 15 day Maritime province tour, trying seafood chowder, mussels and haddock and we chose the Lighthouse twice! Awesome food, good conversations, and nice people. Their chowder is made with fish stock, as was the perfect consistency with lots of fish!, what's not to love.
