Abel's Lobster Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

My husband and I had lunch here during our stay in Southwest Harbor/Acadia. I had a crab rangoon grilled cheese (amazing) and he enjoyed the lobster bisque. We loved the location and overall ambiance. Highly recommend!

Absolutely gem on MDI, great service, and food. With wonderful view of the etheric harbor. Did I miss anything?

What a great hidden gem! We visited twice on our vacation. Everyone wanted more of the seafood chowder!!

The food was excellent. I had a great cheeseburger (not a seafood guy), and my wife had what she claimed to be the best lobster roll she's ever had. The service left a lot to be desired. We were left alone for about 30 minutes after our plates were cleared by the busperson before our server stopped by again for dessert/check. In the meantime, the server visited several other tables (some multiple times). The distinct impression was that we were forgotten about. The amosphere could be greatly improved as well. We were seated in the corner on a hightop. The chairs were a few inches short to be appropriate for the tables, and the tabletop comes up to center of your chest while seated. The row of hightops is close to the kitchen so you get to hear the squeaks of both the kitchen and entrance doors. Additionally, the pendant lights adjacent to the tables seemed to randomly dim and brighten every few minutes. Pretty hard to ignore since these lights are at about eye level for the hightop tables. The poor service compounded with the strange atmosphere quirks really soured what could have been a really great dining experience

Best lobster in my life. We couldn't get in for a dinner (1 hour wait, no reservations) so we went back the day after for lunch.
