We loved it. Expectations were blown out of the water! Highly recommend the Mac n cheese and the Philly cheesesteak.

Update: Sips was completely full Friday night due to reservations when we went at 6:50 pm, so we had to do takeout. We got the Saffron Paella Risotto...

Sips caused me to do something I rarely do on vacation (or even ever) order the same thing for breakfast two days in a row. And it would have been three...

"Food is good, costumer service is good. A little too busy but that also means good for them. The tuna melt was way too overloaded with tuna but overall good. The lemonade tasted like water and lemon. Maybe you're supposed to add your own sugar which I did."

"Tasty tofu scramble intentionally when they make their own scramble, as they do not season the tofu as they do in the menu item tofu scramble. they offer hot sauce and strawberry jam (verify if’s vegan), which helped to add the taste to create their own bumper and simple toast. nothing imaginative, but beautiful to have options. nice place outside and they were dog friendly. updated by previous rating on 2022 08 16"

"Maybe some of the other foods in this restaurant taste amazing, but I do not recommend the Wood-Grilled Fruits De Mer for Two, this thing costs me $130 and it is not worth it in my opinion. Some of the oysters and shells taste fun, the crab claws (can be frozen) are tasteless. Not to mention the lobster is definitely not a 2 pound. We had a 2 pound lobster in Portland the day before, the size of the lobster that was served today looks like a baby compared to that we used to eat. Clams is the only one that tastes good, but overall I felt like demolished with the quality of food she serves us today. (2 stars for service, 0 for food)"

"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."

"We celebrate our marriage and honeymoon, we meet Havana. The service was amazing and personal. Eating so much Maine kitchen, the rotation of Latin in the dishes was extremely welcoming. For beginners we have the scallops that melted in the mouth. My wife got the paella and it was exquisite. It had a ton of seafood and the rice was perfectly cooked. I have the Lobster Moqueca, which was so creamy and the coconut taste went perfectly with the lobster. The cocktail menu was also amazing. For kickers before you get your food you get a small dish on cucumber slices to go the taste buds."
