Can't-miss dining spots in Bar Harbor, Maine?
I will be spending a few glorious days at Acadia, staying on the island just outside of downtown Bar Harbor. Any restaurant/otherwise food recommendations?

In terms of casual places, don't miss the Lompoc Cafe. Good gourmet pub fare and because of their close historic ties to the brewery, they serve Atlantic Brewing Company's beer on tap (including their very excellent blueberry ale). My husband and I usually eat there on the first night we arrive (we've been going to Bar Harbor for several years now). I would also recommend Cafe This Way, which has an eclectic menu and serves a fast, excellent breakfast. I would also suggest Havana for good Nuevo Latino fare (and a thoughtful wine list); it's not prohibitively expensive but it's a tad more formal than the restaurants I just mentioned. Oooh, I wish I were going back. I love Maine and Acadia. Have fun.

Havana, Havana, and more Havana. Had two back-to-back meals there in the early spring and it was outstanding!

I was just there a 3 weeks ago and I LOVED Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound and the wild blueberry pie at the place with the old lady sign on the main road just outside of the town. It was like Grandma's Pie Place and was located in an old fashioned house with a nice garden outside.

You MUST try Abel's Lobster Pound which is a bit upscale for a lobster pound and you will probably need reservations, but for a real authentic one-the best is Beale's over in Southwest Harbor. No reservations, just stand in line and sit on picnic tables. Couldn't be fresher!!!! I am so jealous!!! And now I am craving lobster, steamed clams.......
