Really nice casual lunch! We ate outside and looked out at the water. I got a lobster roll with old bay fries (delicious!) and my partner enjoyed the fish and chips. All their fried items are gluten free which was super exciting for my partner! Not sure it would work for someone with celiac’s but it was perfect for us.

We had an amazing time! Absolutely the best experience.. the lobster is perfect; not rubbery, you can taste that it was steamed in fresh water, healthy, fresh, fat lobster, real butter ... Absolutely delicious! The oysters were incredible!! I eat oysters on the half shell every chance I can and these were amazing .. so fresh, no concerning flavors, perfect size, local Maine oysters and so good!! I also got the Wedge salad which might have been the best wedge salad I've ever had with perfect chunks of blue cheese, pickled onions, onion jam, sweet cherry tomatoes, ... my husband got the lobster bisque which had a potato base and it really allowed one to enjoy the delicate flavor of lobster, and the chunks of lobster meat .. and we had the most spectacular desert, a lemon curd ... absolutely wonderful! The service was outstanding; Jojo was attentive and resourcefull, when she heard we are gluten free she had Tina, the executive chef come and to talk with us .. Tina was wonderful, so extremely kind and helpful and fun to talk with, and she does a phenomenal job because the food was absolutely delicious. The ambience is traditional Maine with hand cut shake, local stone, local photos, but with a cool edge, cool music, and edgy but comfortable furniture, really a beautiful restaurant right on the water ... If you want the absolute best experience of Maine lobster, this is the place. We usually go to Thurstons Lobster Pot and although we enjoyed it I am tired of waiting in line, rushing to order, no one is available to answer questions, fighting for a table, .. it feels more like being on a New York city street during rush hour, .. but some people enjoy that environment.

We stopped there on our way to Acadia National Forest for some breakfast and sandwiches to take along. My husband loved the breakfast bread pudding and they had two gluten free sandwich options for me! When we arrived home after our trip, we looked at the receipt and noticed that we had been charged for something we didn't get and not charged for something we did get. The price difference was not a huge deal but it was several dollars so my husband called to see if anything could be done. I don't know who he spoke to when they called back, but she was very apologetic and took the time to explain the error and to remedy the mistake. I only wish we lived closer, we would be frequent customers!

We hiked up Acadia mountain then found this little gem in downtown Northeast Harbor. The waitress was so sweet and attentive. They have gluten free option for sandwiches and the pizza. We got the seafood pizza, lobster quesadilla, and chicken wings. They are not skimpy on the seafood at all. It was absolutely delicious. The chicken wings were YUM and the seafood pizza… well I’m still thinking about it! The cocktails are good and priced very well. They waitress found out it was my birthday and brought me the one gluten free dessert they had and my family sang happy birthday to me. It was very sweet!! As a birthday treat I got the Royal Martini which is a coffee martini. Usually coffee martinis are very sweet which I do not prefer but this one was perfect. Strong coffee flavor with a hint of sweet. This will be our spot from now on when we bring visitors to Acadia mountain. THANK YOU!!
