Fish House Grill - Bar Harbor

The staff was nice food. My husband had the lobster and pommes. He liked it. I had the fish. I ate one it was good, but the second couldn't eat. I prefer my fish fritted with tart sauce lol, but the tacos were not bad just trying something new! Had the real Ale, great beer.

For reference: I am traveling via a cruiseline and arrived to the restaurant on foot; opinions based off my normal experiences in SC and I cannot provide info on parking I'm surprised that this place doesn't have higher reviews, and some of the 1 star reviews seem unnecessarily harsh. The food was absolutely amazing and a highlight of our day. We got the clam chowder, lobster bisque, chicken tenders (buffalo style), meat sandwich (kind of like a Philly Cheese Steak), and the blueberry pie. Honestly, this place helped me realize my love for clam chowder and I was told by my father that the lobster bisque was some of the best he'd ever had. My fiancé loved the sandwich (I stole a few bites and was impressed) as the meat wasn't dry, though, I would've liked a little more cheese or maybe some mayo. The fries were also very good. The best part for my group was the blueberry pie (I'm not big into sweets) with the blueberry icecream. Pricing was pretty on par with the area, I think. We had a poor experience with lobster at a different restaurant the previous stop (also Maine) so we avoided ordering similar food. I will say that my only complaint was the staff, as they weren't necessarily friendly nor unfriendly, just sort of bland. But I suppose you go out to eat for the food, not the staff. The location was perfect, too right next to the seaport to get back on our ship. Overall, if we visit again we'll definitely go back!

When you can’t have shellfish there are other options. this steak sandwich was delicious. Tagged along with fries that were fresh and crispy

The staff was friendly but seemed like they were short staffed. The view of the bay was very pleasant. The food was mostly very good. I did not like the potatoes as they were just boiled potatoes with parsley on them. I tried to add butter, and then that failed, hot sauce....it was absolute fail. I would have been pleased with fries. I forgot to take a pic of my seafood stuffed haddock and it was delicious. The steamers were very good!

We enjoyed the the openness of the back area!! The food was good. We had fish tacos and they were pretty good. The seasoning was mild. Not real sure what exactly was missing. I had asked for a side of the roasted red pepper and garlic remoulade that came with the crab cakes. I poured some of that on the fish tacos and that did the trick. The **** Mary and the sangria were yummy! The crab cakes were delicious and made up almost entirely of crab meat!
