"HORRIBLE. Service at the bar was slow and disinterested. The unpadded wood chairs were both uncomfortable and incongruous with the elegant room. Once seated with a menu, I noted the absence of their famous lobster stew. They were known for this stew with the lobster shaped puff pastry atop, and this should have tipped me off the kitchen skill had plummeted. I ordered the lobster (chowder bisque to be followed by the lobster dinner. The bisque arrived, and other than looking a little dark, was nicely presented with a small portion of lobster. The lobster meat was tender and warm. BUT the bisque was ghastly. It had all the flavor of flour and warm water. It wasn't just bland; it was not food but instead paste typically given to children. Upon receiving this dish I proceeded to do something I have never done before: I called over the waiter and advised him this was not to my liking to cancel the entrée; and charge me only for the porridge if I were required to pay since I ate the piece of lobster (with the remainder of the gruel left undisturbed in the bowl). Without any inquiry over my dissatisfaction, I was presented with a bill for the bilge I paid and departed without so much as an inquiry or expression of concern. The inescapable conclusion is that the establishment is fully aware its fare is wholly inesculent; otherwise, general curiosity alone would have warranted what seems to be out of order or is there something else I might bring you or I'm so sorry our food has sickened you Certainly the pandemic staff shortage has hobbled the kitchen. But there are plenty of canned and institutional bisques that are at least palatable. Who hasn't eaten on an airplane. But this was far worse than airline food. The combination of poor food and unprofessional management compels dining elsewhere in Bar Harbor. That the restaurant would serve this compels avoiding anything from its kitchen. Look elsewhere for now."

"My aunt recommended that we are here for the lobster and we were not disappointed! My mother and I had the crabcake appetizer and the lobster, both were fantastic! Definitely the best crab cake I've ever had and great first experience with lobster. Our waiter was great, he even gave us a list of places on the island to visit and showed us how to crack the lobster!"

"Food was great (except an overpriced, mundane Caesar salad), but the service was exceedingly slow and uneven. With all the choices on that strip, I doubt I would return."

"We saved the best place for last on our visit to Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park. We got there not long before closing as we had been out hiking all day, but they welcomed us in with with nothing but smiles. Our waiter (his name escapes me but he was very outgoing and was clearly an avid hiker who had grown up in the area) was absolutely wonderful and was super friendly. The food itself was also wonderful it was the best we had in Bar Harbor. We started with an appetizer of fried calamari which was perfectly cooked and tender. Then we tried the lobster mac cheese and the surf and turf combo with a whole boiled lobster and a NY strip steak (paired with fingerling potatoes and asparagus). Everything was cooked to perfection, but especially that fresh caught lobster. We finished the night off with sharing their fudge brownie sundae, it was absolutely delicious. Everything was a 10/10. When you are at most establishments past closing, you normally get the feeling that the waitstaff would like for you to leave so they can go home (reasonably so and we would never try to stay past closing anywhere any longer than necessary) but the individuals working at Jack Russell 's made us feel as if we were part of their family there, engaging in casual conversation with us about our hiking adventures and hometowns, etc. even after we had finished our meals. It really was a delightful experience all around and our only regret is that we did not get to dine there another day as we had to head for home the next morning. But we will be back again in the future for more hiking and consequently another dinner at Jack Russell 's. Highly recommend you give them a try if you are in the area."
