Our McKay’s visit last week was awesome!!!! Through a reservation, they set us up in a separate room for our daughter’s wedding celebration of 22. They were also very accommodating for our large party in their small bar. The service and staff were fantastic. The food was exceptional with plenty of regular menu and special items for us to choose from. We enjoyed the Lobster Mac & Cheese, Fish and Chips, Spring Salmon, Steak Frites, Beef Short Ribs, Truffled Seafood Risotto, Fall featured Risotto, and the featured Halibut with Lobster Risotto. Everyone raved about their dishes. We couldn’t have asked for a better and enjoyable experience in this rustic setting. McKays is an absolute must visit.

Nice location both indoor and outdoor, and our server was attentive and friendly. Not a long wait for our food, which was great. I ordered the short rib; portion of meat was gigantic, nice and tender. I think it could have used more sauce, as what was given wasn’t nearly enough for the amount of meat. Also, while the menu said it came with broccolini it ended up being green beans instead, which would have been nice to know about beforehand (was looking forward to the broccolini!). We also got the lemon herb chicken, and that portion was pretty small for the price to us. Overall, the food was good, the service was great, and we’d come back!

My burger was excellent, my wife’s salmon was good enough. The drinks were good, the service was excellent. The atmosphere was good but noisy thanks to a rumble-voiced chatterbox and a loud child.
Parking is always a challenge.

Exemplary meal, less the seafood risotto. Truly, the dining experience was unforgettable. The pork belly, the oysters, the steak tartare, and the meatloaf were all spectacular. The seafood risotto, however, left much to be desired. It lacked seasoning and should have more umami flavor and less of plain cream flavor. However, this was our third visit to McKay’s, and despite the risotto not hitting the spot, we will dine here every time we are in Bar Harbor!

Had the Shepard’s Pie which was excellent. It was authentic being made with lamb (most restaurants in the US turn this dish into an abomination by substituting ground beef for the lamb).
For desert, had the Southern Sundae with caramel, Gelato, and caramelized bacon bits. The bacon bits were surprisingly good and went well with the gelato.
Service was professional and superb.
The restaurant is appropriately upscale and clean.

I really wanted to like this place, it’s got a beautiful outdoor seating space, cozy indoor dining space, our server was incredible and attentive, but the food just left a lot to be desired. The chimichurri on the Steak Frites was too vinegary, the fries were over salted, the risotto was over salted and the short ribs which were supposed to “die for” wasn’t tender.
Frankly this place has all the makings of a great restaurant but they need to focus on the food a bit more.

What a great place to dine. The outside patio is beautiful. The inside is so nice. The staff is very friendly. And the food… amazing! We were recommended to try the seafood risotto which did not disappoint. So creamy with huge scallops, chunks of lobster, and shrimp. We also had the lobster Mac and cheese. Again the chunks of lobster were huge. The bread was tasty with the garlic butter. After all that there unfortunately was no room for dessert. Although, I did hear some guests at another table fighting over their desserts. Would definitely recommend this restaurant for a delicious dinner in Bar Harbor.

Absolutely dope place, food is outstanding and the stein of coffee is a joy to drink along with your meal. It’s not on the menu but it is available. The short ribs are crazy good and so is the meatloaf. Make sure you also try the brie and the creme brulee, honestly everything on the menu is great.

A lovely spot if you’re looking for something a little more upscale in Bar Harbor. We really enjoyed our meals: braised short ribs and the meatloaf. The blueberry pie was also very delicious. Our server was very friendly and attentive.
