Seafood Ketch

$$

Most of the tables here are on a large patio within spitting distance of the water, though you can also enjoy quintessential views of working Bass Harbor through large windows in the cheery establishment's dining room and adjoining Tide Room. Lobster—served not only boiled with a choice of sides but in dishes such as baked seafood casserole—is purchased fresh off the boat from the lobsterman next door. Many folks eat at this family-owned and run restaurant before or after watching the sunset at nearby Bass Harbor Head Light in Acadia National Park. The lunch and dinner menus are available all day.
