Absolutely loved this place we were walking by and decided to stop such a great choice! Service was great loved our waitress! The margarita was perfect! Our salad was amazing! Think it was called the island salad. The BLT was delicious pita chips were yummmmm love loved it all! Inside was nice we sat outside which was just as awesome. I got a lavender lemonade Togo it was SO TASTY! If we’re ever back through here we will stop again!

I was too hungry and forgot to take a picture of my meal before I ate it, so I apologize for the half eaten meal photo. It was very busy at the restaurant, but we were able to get seated right away. Our food came out at a timely matter. I was a little worried with how busy it was. I ordered the fresh squeezed orange juice, which was tastey! I ordered the prime rib hash, which was not too bad. It was a little salty for my liking. My over easy eggs turned out fine and toast was toast. Friendly service. Nothing to brag about the restaurant. It was fine for what it was.

Sips is clean, comfortable and delicious! The staff is very attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. I had the chicken marsala & my husband had the Sips meatloaf-both were phenomenal!

Not only the best meals we had on the island, but the best breakfast/lunch place we’ve ever been to! The atmosphere is awesome, it’s the got the small cafe vibes working really well. They have amazing tea and coffee drinks (try the whipped coffee!). We ate here 3 days in a row because we couldn’t get enough!
Even if you’re in Bar Harbor, you’ve got to stop by and try a local favorite ✅

I cannot believe I deviated my path and spent 90min of my road trip just to come here, because the place was labeled as “seafood” at Trip Advisor…
The good news: they follow the pandemic rules to the letter. That’s it. The service is awfully slow (for a completely empty restaurant) and the server let our prepared food get cold. My daughter and I had the only fish dishes available (see receipt) and they were bland, unseasoned, and not memorable. Not fresh catch either. The beef skewer appetizer was ridiculously small (the meat has no seasoning). The mash potatoes had no salt either. Believe, you can spend US 60 in a supermarket ready-to-go or frozen food.
The setting is unremarkable (tiny place) and only o e table outside.

Nice, homey mom and pop style local spot. Had the seafood chowder, apple chevre salad, and lobster crepe with scampi sauce. All solid, straightforward, tasty dishes. The crepe was stuffed with big chunks of fresh juicy lobster. Claw meat, tail meat, everything you want to see. If you twist my arm for criticisms, I’d say that the crepe itself was not the most delicate, the salad was not some revolution from the garde manger, and the chowder isn’t going to make history. Despite any of that I left feeling very satisfied and I would happily go back.

This was such a lovely restaurant. Please stop if you haven’t!
I sat at the bar next to the kitchen. If I heard swearing or loud music I wouldn’t have been surprised nor offended. Instead, everyone in this restaurant worked together like family. Service from the host, waitress, chef and dish were immaculate.
I got the mushroom risotto. It was so good I chose to get the tarragon lobster on a croissant to-go as well. This sandwich. Man.
Also, good drink selection.

Sips didn’t necessarily come across as a breakfast place when we were searching google maps, but after eating there it was quite clear: this is where you should start the day in Southwest Harbor.
They have a full service coffee bar with espresso and teas, and a full breakfast menu.
Toasted Coconut & Quinoa granola was fantastic, both with the default yogurt and with a coconut milk substitution for a dairy free member of our group.
A stack of blueberry pancakes was shared and loved by all – buttermilk, lots of fruit, good griddle character on the bottoms.
A few omelettes were had around the table, crab was the standout. Turkey sausage was substituted in one, but it wasn’t particularly satisfying. Forgivable. Everything else shined.
