The 15 Best Restaurants In Bar Harbor, Maine 2024

"Lots of spots in Bar Harbor are closed between lunch and dinner, but not Atlantic Brewing Company. That's exactly why their tasting room in Midtown should be your post-hike destination for crisp summer ales and snacking in the afternoon. Refuel by having a giant pretzel served with beer cheese and grainy mustard on the second-floor patio. Or, seek refuge from the sun (or rain) inside with some chicken karaage drizzled with mayo and a sauce that tastes like a happy marriage between sriracha and BBQ. " - anne cruz

Best Brewery in Bar Harbor Maine! They have the best blueberry beer. I also tried my first lobster roll here and it was packed full of flavor. You can guarantee every visit you have here will be great. Games, food, beer, and good conversation with the staff. We’ve been coming here for 5 years and every visit is great!

The beer was the best part obviously. The blueberry ale or mountain hopper were great places to start. They advertise dog friendly, however, this is only on the 1st floor outside which has no seatable tables. We’re tourists so we were getting small food plates at each restaurant we tried. Whatever you do, don’t get the truffle fries. Luckily we walked 12 miles in the morning to create an appetite, but the “truffle fries” were not what you think as traditional truffle fries. Just see the picture below. Location and atmosphere were decent.

As someone who doesn’t love beer (I know, I know, what went wrong in my upbringing?) I absolutely loved the fountain/tap blueberry soda. A Maine beverage at its finest… right where it’s made. And somehow it tastes far better than the bottled version. And the free refill is the icing on the cake.

Great food & beers! We stopped in for a pre-hike lunch & beer. I had an excellent bratwurst & the new blueberry IPA which was amazing. Just slight fruit taste to preserve the hop bite. Nice body to the IPA. The next day I had the stout, which was perfect because it was a cool evening and we had just finished kayaking. The store was so good. Cool venue with indoor and outdoor seating. Excellent brews & very friendly staff.

Perfect stop for a bite with some wonderfully crafted local beer. We tried the beer sampler and chose the beer ourselves. All five were very good, my favorite being the Real Ale- a brown beer but not very bitter, with a wonderful nutty and coffee taste. The bread on the meat board was so good, served warm with olive oil drizzled on top. The duck wings are a dish that’s hard to find, we were glad that we tried this as well: moist, delicious with 3 very inspired sauces.

Fantastic place! The beer selection was excellent! My fave was the blueberry ale! We worked our way through most of the menu and sat upstairs with the great view. Would say you need to visit if in the area and you appreciate good beer. The team were very knowledgeable and gave good recommendations

Overall a great experience. Their truffle fries were a very generous portion! Lobster roll was also great. We did also try the duck wings, and I didn’t find those to be very good. Beers were all at least decent, but some lacked flavor, especially the Irish stout and summer ale.

Very good beer. Not sure more is needed! Had the custom flight initially and had a pint of Low Life Lager after that. Wife had a glass of blueberry wine, which was pretty good too. Didn't have any food. Had several beers available to buy, neither of their lagers, but we did get a bottle of wine

Good selection of beer. I was a little disappointed that there wasn't any cider (not a beer drinker) so I tried a Rose. It wasn't the greatest (but I still drank it all lol). My husband had a flight and enjoyed all the flavors. We also ordered the pretzel - holy giant pretzel! It came with mustard and beer cheese. Very good! It's a bit pricey here, but it is a tourist town! It's in an out of the way location so that was great (not so crowded). There's no "FREE" parking in Bar Harbor, but we snagged a spot right in front of the brewery. Make sure you watch your meter (app). We did see someone walking around and writing tickets!

Really enjoyed this spot while in Bar Harbor. Got to try some local made beer. I had the Blueberry Ale, it had the perfect taste of blueberry and wasn't too sweet. My boyfriend had the Mt Hopper Hazy IPA which apparently is their most popular, he really enjoyed it. We had to sit at the bar since we weren't eating any food. Their food did look good but we didn't check out the menu. They also had some outdoor chairs for seating out there, however it was chilly that day.

Great place!! They were really busy and staff maintained positive attitude. I enjoyed some half pours of their beers. For dinner, I got the Atlantic blt. It was so good. The bread was great.

Great friendly service from Ivona. She was tending the bar but noticed us standing at the host stand for a minute or two without being greeted and made her way over to help us. She recommended the Blueberry Amber Ale which was AMAZING! It was perfectly sweet and light and a fantastic way to cool down and refresh after hiking.

We came for the ambiance - sat on the rooftop deck overlooking Cottage Street to people watch. It was a clean place and the service was good. My husband ordered a flight of beers that he liked, but nothing stood out as being amazing. I got a glass of white wine and we shared the world's largest soft pretzel. It was very filling but pretty expensive for cooked dough. Needless to say we didn't need to order any more food or drink. We were stuffed!

Atlantic Brewing Midtown is a beer of substance, brewed with care and precision. Its amber hue glows like a sunset over the Maine coast, while its aroma of caramel and toasted malt beckons the drinker to take a sip. The taste is rich and full-bodied, with notes of bread crust and a hint of hops that provide a satisfying bitterness. The finish is clean and crisp, making this beer a true pleasure to drink. Atlantic Brewing Midtown is a beer that stands tall, like a lighthouse in a storm. Its amber glow and aroma of caramel and toasted malt are inviting, while its taste is full-bodied and satisfying, with a hint of hops that lingers on the tongue. The finish is clean and refreshing, like a cool breeze on a hot day. A beer of substance, brewed with care and precision, Atlantic Brewing Midtown is a true delight for the senses.

Hey, man! So, we rolled up to this joint after checking out the other spot 'cause they were talking about all these experimental and small batch brews they had, right? We were all stoked, thinking we'd hit the jackpot with some mind-blowing beers they didn't have at the main place. But guess what, man? They only had, like, two beers different from the other joint! It was basically the same beer list! Bummer, dude! First up was this Irish Stout, and let me tell you, it was just...meh. Totally mediocre, man. Nothing to write home about, ya know? And then there was this Dad Jokes IPA brewed with Idaho 7. Gotta be honest, it was subpar, dude. I mean, we're trying to be nice, but let's just say it didn't hit the mark, man. Anyway, our crew of craft beer enthusiasts was on the hunt for some serious brews, but both locations let us down, man. It was like a parade of below average to average beers. We were hoping for greatness, but instead, we got mediocrity in a glass, bro. Now, don't get me wrong, the atmosphere itself was pretty cool, and the waitstaff was super friendly. Like, they were the highlight of the whole experience, man. This place had the potential to be killer, but those beers, dude, they need some serious improvement. Like, they gotta step up their brewing game, man, 'cause right now, it's just not cutting it. So, unless they start bringing the real deal when it comes to brews, I'd say pass on this place, man. Keep searching for that ultimate beer nirvana elsewhere, 'cause you won't find it here, bro!

Stopped by the Midtown location of Atlantic Brewing after spending the morning/early afternoon at Acadai National Park. The blueberry ale was just what I needed after a day if hiking/siteseeing. It was light, refreshing, and slightly sweet, with hints of blueberry coming through at the end. Shared the fish and chips, with came with three generous pieces of panko crusted haddock and tons of fries. Really good! I also tried some of the Midtown smash burger, which was super juicy and flavorful. The burger was pretty thick at 8oz and came topped with crispy bacon, smoked gouda, and garlic aioli. In addition to my beer, I also had some of the Old Soaker blueberry soda, which I found to be just okay. Could barely taste the blueberries. Definitely prefer Maine Root over this one. Service was good. Parking could be hard to find in Bar Harbor. Although there are plenty of lots and street parking (both of which you have to pay for), you'll likely have to circle around a few times before finding a spot.

This is a wonderful brewery in Maine. We had their beer at a lobster place earlier in the day and were delighted to try their own brewery while we were there. We ordered a flight with different ones but I remember the blueberry ale and the chocolate stout being a crowd fav. We were stuffed from our earlier meals so did not order any food but had a good time here. The vibe is casual, decor is nice and there is plenty of seating for large groups too. Do check their hours as they do close for the winter. All in all a great atmosphere and a huge fan of their beers. Cheers!

The beers here are fantastic and the Lobster Grilled Cheese was phenomenal! Maine is known for blueberries so we had to try the blueberry ale. I'm not usually a fan of fruited beers but this one was a pleasant surprise, you have to try it. If your traveling with a buddy, I recommend getting a flight to split so you get a chance to try more beer! Be sure to check the hours because this brewery is only open during the season, we got lucky and they opened early during our visit.

The beers were great and the brewers board was fun! Could have done with more cheese on the board and less pretzel (one pretzel would have been plenty!) my kids liked the chicken nuggets kids meal, which came with chips and at only $5 it was an easy dinner for our family.

Our party of six went two flights of draft beers at $13 per flight. The beers were excellent, we liked all of them. The foods were a different story. Our table shared three appetizers and each dish was small. The taste was ok, nothing special. My youngest daughter ordered the BLT and it contained only two thin slices of bacon. Oldest daughter and I went with the bratwurst and tasted just ok. We would definitely go back for the beer, but not the foods.

Great food and atmosphere! Detailed breakdown below: **Decor & cleanliness, 5/5** Beautiful venue -- plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, really clean, and spacious. The high ceilings do a lot! **Presentation of the food, 5/5** Ready to dig into! **Taste of the food, 5/5** - Truffle fries, 5/5: You can taste the truffle and the fries are the perfect amount of crunchy. The ratio of parmesan to fries is also great! - Shrimp w curried mayo, 5/5: Wow, I didn't expect to like this combo so much. The shrimp were big and perfectly cooked, and the curried mayo was DELICIOUS. Together, an unexpected but lovely marriage of flavors and textures. I'll probably try to recreate this at home and get disappointed because I won't be able to hit the nail on the head like this place has done. **Other notes** A 5 flight of beer is only $12!

We drank a LOT of beer on our 8 day road trip through New England... and Atlantic had, by far, the best of all we tried. We love craft breweries and their selection was fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed every beer on our flight, which is not common for us. We thought their menu was a little strange for our personal food taste, but we were just grabbing a snack so we ordered the pretzel and it was truly delicious! Our server was great. We did have a very short wait considering it was a Saturday night with plenty of tourists walking around. Great experience, wish we had come back for a full meal - next time!

Came here for a flight of local beers and a respite from super busy Main Street in downtown. Easily walkable. Delicious beers. Outdoor seating areas to accommodate roaming toddlers and doggies alike.

The beer is fine. Nothing that I would consider award winning but certainly drinkable. The issue here is not with the beer. I've never been in a brewery that you struggle to sit and have a beer. You are forced to the bar if you are just having a beer. If the bar is full, out front you go. If that is taken you're out of luck. Not sure if we caught the employees on a bad day but they were clearly "annoyed". Just simply not friendly. Even at the bar, the bartender kept yelling at everyone who came up to order at the only open spot, the waitress station. I'm fine going where ever they want, but maybe make a spot for people to order if they are not sitting at the bar? Just a poor experience. I'll pass next time.

So this is a really nice place. Great venue. Annnnnd, that's where it ends. Dude at the front whispers, so can barely understand what he was saying. Speak up my dude! Getting him to repeat himself he stated we couldn't get a seat if we were just drinking beer. Could drink at the bar, or sit outside. Not inside, nor upstairs on the roof top. Which was bummer because that looked cool. But, since the bar was full, it was outside. So, had a pint and left. The beer was ok. I really liked that blueberry beer, but we had a flight and there was nothing earth shattering. Staff, well you saw the comments above about check in guy. The bartender? Seemed overly stressed (and they weren't packed), so a bit of an a$$hat. If you're looking for a recommendation, nah, not hear. Try other places to drink local.

Loved this place. Great service. Great food. Great BEER! We were in Maine so we had to try the blueberry beer. It was good enough to buy a six pack! I'll tell you what else was great... their Rootbeer. I'm a bit of a Rootbeer snob and this was amazing.

Hubby liked his beer sampler. My favorite was the blueberry beer. The Japanese Chicken app was pretty good. Very clean, sparse, contemporary environment. Really good service. They do sell Old Soaker Blueberry Soda by the case. Big plus. Will definitely be back to bring some home.

This is a total tourist town and this area is a very touristy spot but Atlantic Brewing was a great stop. I went with my 7 year old daughter and they had a great kids menu but she opted for the large pretzel which she loved! I got the lobster roll and it was incredibly delicious and fresh with lots of lobster. The waiter we had was incredibly friendly and helpful. The place was busy but we were served in good timing. The place was very clean and they don't overcrowd the seating so it doesn't feel too crowded. I got a blueberry beer which was a perfect companion to the lobster roll. My sister and dad went to the Thirsty Whale and were very disappointed... I highly recommend eating at Atlantic Brewery!

We stopped in for for brew and food, so glad we did! We had the lobster roll( sorry I ate it before I remember to take a photo) it was so worth the $35 My husband had the chicken sandwich and he said it was delicious, the best he has ever had. Our cousin had the Reuben and he said the best on the planet! The bread used for the lobster roll and sandwiches was so soft and perfect! Go here you will not be disappointed Oh yeah and the beer was perfect with our meal!

My wife and I were on a week long road trip to Maine.We ended up in Bar Harbor, which is a nice little town on the water. Atlantic was a stop we took on our walk through the town. I sat down and ordered an IPA and it was very solid. Our server was great and it was a great couple of beers. If you want a few beers for a break during a long Maine day, give Atlantic a try. They have stickers too!

Great ambiance inside, as the whole place is glass windows, so it's soaked in light, the bar faces the brewing operation which you can see through the windows there, pretty high ceilings and spaced out seating which is excellent. Also upstairs rooftop area. Menu is diverse, fun, and priced really well, so my wife and I even though we were there for the beer tried a few options. LOVED them all. First a crab roll, which was a nice change up from lobster rolls (which they also had), real refreshing (lemon on top) and packed with meat. Then we got the chicken karage, which was maybe 6 slices of fried up chicken dipped lightly in two delightful sauces, one a spicy one that I used the chicken as a paint brush like vessel to pallet my mouth in what was a true work of art (it was real good). Lastly, because again, the menu is fun and full of interesting options, we got some deviled eggs in old bay sauce, I mean, perfect to go with some brews. And oh did we have some nice brews. I got a flight, which comes with 5, 5oz pours for I believe $13 bucks (nice!) and such a good mix of light and refreshing, to IPA, to even a stout. The blueberry ale is divine, the stout not too heavy and my favorite, but not a bad beer in the bunch! Service, jovial and sweet people, they were attentive but not over on top of us, and food came out quickly but staged well. Loved it. Lastly there is a merch area on other side with some great stuff, including their beers! Oh and clean bathroom with full changing station. A+, must got to, don't miss it.

Cool version of the brewery in the downtown area vs. the original about 15 min outside of downtown. The server for the upstairs patio was hustling and doing a great job. Beers are good, I recommend Mountain Topper or the Blueberry Ale. Food looked great but we didn't eat while we were here.

This place had a great atmosphere and was fun. Do plan on waiting for 1+ hour if you get here at about 6ish during the summer. There are high ceilings, and senate connected store, and they also have an upstairs. I don't drink, but others in my party seemed to enjoy the flight of beer tasting, as there was a variety of different beers. For an appetizer, we had the burrata and peaches plate which was quite good. I love burrata, and this burrata was creamy and on point. Also came with some slightly toasted bread and peaches. They all went together well. For my main entree, I had the Thai chicken sandwich with side salad. I thought the chicken may have been slightly undercooked, but it was still tasty, and had a peanut dressing that I enjoyed. Side salad had tomatoes, carrots, and onions, and was fine. All in all, it was a great experience here and would definitely return if I am in Bar Harbor.

Great food, outstanding beer and a great location with lots of atmosphere. It's just far enough off the main road that there's a little less traffic. Highly recommend stopping in for a visit if you're near Acadia.

Came here for dinner and drinks. They have two floors and a nice outdoor patio on the second floor. We were seated there and enjoyed the sunset views. Everything is quite pricey as expected. Reuben was pretty good. No complaints there. For drinks, I'd recommend getting the flight of beers. We got a Real Ale, Blueberry Ale, Mountain Hopper IPA, Cadillac Mountain Stout, and Summer Ale. I really liked the Blueberry Ale and Mountain Hopper IPA. The IPA was super refreshing and not too bitter. The blueberry ale was fruity and had a good balance of flavors. They were all very good, though!

Pretzel and meatballs were yummy! All beer we tried were good, I personally liked the blueberry!

Beer was alright, food was disappointing, staff was neglectful and management needs a reeducation. The pictures showed French fries. But as we sit down with our party, no fries! Then our waitress gets our order, give us a water and beer and then disappears. We had to refill our own water and walk down to the bar to get more beer. Waitress came back about twenty minutes later to ask if we want more beer. Management was not at all understanding or amenable to addressing the situation. If you are starving after a bike ride, this is not the place. If you want seafood, definitely not the place. Better food and beer can be found elsewhere at Bar Harbor. Management needs a housecleaning.

Pros: could make my own flight and do less than the advertised flights. Cons: they were very particular in where you could sit (even when they were full) if you didn't order food.

The beer, yes we enjoyed the beer. The blueberry was my favorite of the night. The beet salad was the hit for me. Perfect exactly as served. My husband wasn't very hungry and got the soft pretzel. Oops, it was huge. He liked the beer cheese and I was all about the spicy mustard. Enjoyable evening.

The wind was blowing slow and chill, the weather unfriendly and almost boring in its not threatening humidity. We made our way slowly through the colorful Bar Harbor streets, until this sleek, modern, warehouse styled establishment caught our eyes. They were semi-crowded so instead of waiting at the desk we sat up at the bar, which was promptly cleaned by a friendly barman. The selection of beers is focused and locally made, and the two we tasted (a brown ale and an amber blueberry concoction) were so good my wife got an extra long pour on the spot. The garlic fries did exactly what their preparer intended them to do, not overshadowing the drinks but providing needed substance to drink upon. A joyful and satisfying stop.

It's a good place to stop by for a beer or two or even a flight! My husband had the real ale, which is a dark beer and tasty. I had the flight, which included the real ale, the blueberry ale, a chocolate stout and two others. Very tasty.

One of many great dining experiences in Bar Harbor! My wife is not a beer drinker, but for me, she agreed to hit this place for a late lunch. The staff was incredibly friendly and the food surprisingly good! I started off with the custom flight of beers: five 5 oz pours for $13. Luckily for my wife, they had some decent wine by the glass. We shared the midtown classic salad and the Panko Crusted Haddock Fish & Chips. Everything was delicious, perfectly seasoned. The fish was super crispy! Great place for beer and non beer drinkers alike.

Beer flights, big fresh salads and great fries. What's not to love? We sat outside and hubs had a flight while I ordered the blueberry ale. So fresh and crisp! We had the Thai chicken sandwich with garlic fries, and the poached pear salad. We shared all food and everything was excellent, the salad was a real stand out. Fresh mixed greens with lots of Gorgonzola and the house made poached pear, house made Dijon dressing.. yum. The Thai chicken was generous and full of flavor. Fries were good too, but the salad was the real star. Great service and nice atmosphere.

This outstanding brewery in the heart of Bar Harbor was a frequent refuge for our family during an unseasonably hot July week in Maine. Their Bar Harbor Blueberry Ale was my go-to beer during our vacation, and I also enjoyed their delicious Mountain Hopper IPA and their crisp Maine Logger Lager. The food is also excellent -- we shared a huge and delicious Beer Cheese Pretzel, and the Midtown Burger I ordered was outstanding. Service was excellent during our visits, both at the bar and when we had a table. The brewery has a spacious, two-story taproom, along with a handful of outdoor tables. You can also purchase their delicious beer to-go in a small store right next to the taproom. Drop in, tee up a flight, and enjoy some of Maine's best craft beer in this fun, family-friendly brewery.

Came here for a group dinner. We tried the beer taster, but honestly, the blueberry beer was by far the best and we should've just ordered that one of those directly. I had the beet salad that was good, but a little on the sweet side, especially with the candied pecans. The chicken karage was a bit dry and only saved by the spicy mayo they served it with. The truffle fries were quite good.

Stopped into Atlantic Brewing company for a quick lunch between adventures and were seated immediately on the upper deck - great atmosphere. We loved both beers we tried, and gobbled down delicious olive tapenade, Hungarian mushroom soup, and a couple of amazing sandwiches. Awesome place!!

After visiting Acadia National Park in the morning, I was on the lookout for lunch. It turns out that several of the restaurants that are usually open on Fridays were closed (either due to happenstance or the fact that Bar Harbor shops start closing after the Acadia visiting season is reaching its tail end), but luckily for me, Atlantic Brewing was open! I walked in and was confused by how I got a table. It turns out there is table service upstairs; the downstairs level is bar service (i.e. you won't have waitstaff). I went upstairs hoping to be seated, but no one was available to help. I started to get the sense that service may be an issue, possibly due to the fact that their waitstaff covers a lot of ground. I was able to order a cheeseburger and one of their beers at my seat, but if I needed any additional service (water, for example), I had to go ask at the bar. The burger and fries were both good, and my beer was refreshing. I just realized that the bar service concept only works if you are sitting right at the bar; if you are at any of the lower level tables, be prepared to feel invisible.

Great spot for some local brews! I haven't been to the other location, but this one is nice because you're right downtown, but you can feel a little separated by heading up to the roof deck. If there's a wait, you can always wander around town while you're waiting. The beer is pretty good. Nothing super special, but the blueberry beer is definitely one of my favorites that they offer. The staff here is wonderful and makes sure you have anything you need. Our waiter even helped us with our crossword puzzle when he stopped by to check in on us. We will definitely continue to come back here.

Tried a selection of beer at Atlantic Brewing Midtown on Saturday evening. A cool space, good service, and decent food, but I was underwhelmed with the beer and that was the reason I came. Quality: Since the Atlantic Brewing at Town Hill is currently shut down, we decided to visit the Midtown location instead. This larger location, which also has its own kitchen, is the perfect spot to try out their beer selection. Through The Flight and a few Taster Pours, we tried all seven beers on tap, Blueberry Ale, Real Ale, Mountain Hopper, New Guy IPA, Maine Logger Lager, Summer Ale, and Cadillac Mountain Stout. Maine Logger Lager was my surprising favorite, a very refreshing beer that was perfect on a damp day. While you can't avoid trying the Blueberry Ale, it is a place obsessed with blueberries, it simply did not work for me. I also was disappointed with the IPAs. With so many breweries pushing boundaries for IPAs, Mountain Hopper and New Guy IPA were lacking. During our visit we also ordered their Tater Tots, a newer menu item. They were a crispy treat, and I loved the sriracha, jalapeno, and ranch dip it was served with. Quantity: The signature The Flight comes with five 5oz Taster Pours to acquaint you with their signature beers. The Tater Tots provided a nice snack while sipping through the beers. Value: $11 for The Flight. $3 for 5oz Taster Pour. $5 for 12oz Large Pour. $6 for Tater Tots. Ambiance: Atlantic Brewing Midtown is a cool modern space in the center of the more rustic Bar Harbor tourist area. The building stands out from the surroundings with its more modern architecture. The bottom floor is split between a retail store and the bar area of the brewery. Then upstairs they have additional seating along with an outdoor deck. A few chairs also sit out front, but they seemed more for waiting on busy days than further expanded seating. They played relaxing oldies in the background and the vibe was very laid back. Crowd: On a rainy Saturday, with many folks unable to hike and the outdoor deck unavailable, it was about 30minutes to get a table. However, they were on the ball to keep people moving through their food and beer, without making things feel rushed, to get more customers in. Service: Our server was excellent and they had the food and beer flying to tables. The reduced capacity seems to have increased their efficiency. I also appreciate the measures they have taken for COVID, while still maintaining brewery essentials like flights and glasses. Parking: Plenty of street and lot parking throughout the area.

Wife enjoyed the beers here. Pretty happy with the service and ambiance of the place (very sleek and simple). Definitely felt like we were being rushed at times, but I think that's because they were trying to flip tables. Wonderful staff.

Overall I had a great experience here. The burger was great, the truffle fries were FIRE, and (most of) the beers were delicious (I am generally not a fan of IPAs. The waiter was also super friendly. My only complaint was that on a low 50° high 40° windy, rainy day, they had the entrance and another door wide open, so it was quite cold sitting and eating. I had 4 layers on and was still quite cold. (I'm from New England so I'm acclimated to the cold too)

Okay food and okay beer. Came here because the most of the other restaurants in Bar Harbor were closed due to a power outage. They do claim a 12 oz pour for $6. I think the glasses hold 12 oz (to the rim). Not sure you actually receive more than 10-11 oz

Stopped in here around july 1/2020 days of covid... social distanced and all... had a few pops & some food upstairs at a table overlooking sidewalk! great view... friendly servers... solid beer options... would come again just for beer... but what prompted this review was my lobster roll...! my god this thing still haunts my waking dreams... it was served with drawn butter in place of typical mayo... and it knocked my socks off... in vermont where i live michelin star type eateries (thats being optimistic i know) but the best little eateries in vermont couldn't hold this lobster rolls garter... if you catch my drift... cant wait to go back.. hopefully next summer and no pandemic... keep it up atlantic... youve got a good thing going definite 4.5 stars...
