Stewman’s Lobster Pound serves fresh local seafood in a casual atmosphere. Situated near the hotel’s private marina, Stewman’s features live Maine lobster, steamer clams, mussels, homemade lobster bisque and, of course, New England clam chowder. The poolside Tiki Bar offers sandwiches and beverages throughout the day.

Breathtaking oceanfront elegance awaits you each time you dine at the historic Bar Harbor Club. Originally built in the 1800's the Bar Harbor Club has enjoyed a long, storied history of entertaining the luminaries of its time. Today, it has been restored to its former grandeur offering a classic New England feel with old world club charm. Spacious windows circling the room offer panoramic ocean views, polished antique woods, fine linens and experienced staff take you back to another time in our Club Dining Room while a talented culinary crew prepares a sumptuous array of signature entrees featuring innovative and seasonally inspired interpretations of classic New England cuisine. Dining at the club epitomizes the New England spirit - very much in the present but grounded in the time-honored pleasure of the past. Open daily for breakfast and dinner.

The closest you'll find to a table on the ocean

Send emailEmail   Click to view mapSee Map

While many Maine eateries are situated on tidal rivers or harbors, the Cape Arundel Inn is perched atop a little seaside knoll and commands unrestricted views of the open ocean. At dusk, when the day grows quiet, diners can hear the hypnotizing hum of surf crashing upon the jagged rocks below. The sensation feels a bit like living inside one of Winslow Homer’s epic seascapes—the horizon stretches out like taffy and the sky appears endless. Likewise, longtime chef Rich Lemoine uses the dining room as a canvas upon which to create epicurean masterpieces. The room blends charming wood floors and wainscoted ceilings with the elegance of crisp white linen tablecloths and cobalt blue goblets – but the art never distracts from the view; it accentuates it.
Lemoine’s menus are grounded in traditional New England fare, but his preparations feel wholly contemporary. His lobster stew, for instance, is enlivened with a drizzle of truffle oil, while his crab cakes are broiled with a layer of panko (Japanese breadcrumbs) and served with a sweet chili rémoulade and warm tricolor slaw.

Fresh local Maine fare

Send emailEmail   Click to view mapSee Map

The Dockside Restaurant is snuggly set on the shores of Harris Island. At one time Harris Island was completely surrounded by the Atlantic. Today, there is a road connecting Harris Island to the mainland. This has created a private peninsula jutting out into York Harbor (arguably the most scenic harbor on the east coast) and the Atlantic Ocean. We are known to locals and return visitors as the place for creatively prepared fresh Maine seafood in a yacht club atmosphere. The Dockside's wonderful food and York Harbor's nautical activity can all be enjoyed while seated on the screened porch or in the bi-level dining room. It's a yacht club with out the membership, casual neat is how you find our guests dressed so, leave your Blue Blazers home. Open Memorial Day through Columbus Day for lunch and dinner. Closed on Mondays and Saturday lunches.
