I had gone here for lunch with a fiend for the first time, a few months ago, it was delicious!!!
Went back today with my husband for dinner and it was absolutely fabulous! The French onion soup was out of the park and my squash and spinach lasagna was so flavoful. Mmm nutmeg. My husband’s friend chicken with all the fixings were legendary! We didn’t even bring any home because we cleared it so excited to have this gem in Harpswell and for their winter offerings. We are grateful and our taste buds and stomachs are too!! ❤️

We got the fish chowder and the haddock fish sandwich.
Both were excellent! Having had a big lunch, but still wanting to try local food, my selection of the fish chowder bowl was exactly what I needed. Not as creamy as some chowder but still excellent.
The haddock fish sandwich we rated in our top five sandwiches (but we don’t eat a lot of fish sandwiches, so there’s that)

Definitely this is the best fried haddock sandwich I had, Dezirae is very friendly and nice she is the best!

If bad decisions were a restaurant, The Fishnet Café would be their entire business model. Calling this place “dining” is an act of generosity usually reserved for participation trophies and misleading movie blurbs. From the instant you walk in, you’re hit with the unmistakable aura of neglect — a charming euphemism for “someone abandoned a thrift store here and called it ambiance.”
The food: imagine a sad, confused cafeteria tray that tried to reinvent itself and failed spectacularly. The “seasonal” soup tastes like it lost a fight with a can opener and a pawn shop spice rack. The burger arrives with the emotional range of a deflated balloon — flattened, limp, and clearly wishing it had never been summoned. Portions are stingy, the plating is defensive, and the seasoning appears to be an afterthought that never made it to the meeting.
Service? If indifference were an Olympic sport, the waitstaff would sweep the podium. Orders are taken with the brisk efficiency of someone who’s already filed a restraining order against your table. Requests are treated like optional folklore — you may get them, you may not, and either way the server will smile as if this is all part of a quirky little improv piece no one else was informed about.
Cleanliness and hygiene are not opinions here — they’re a creative interpretation. Sticky menus, tables that cling to your elbows, and a restroom that tells stories you don’t want to hear form the backdrop to your meal. If you’re nostalgic for the faintly offensive whiff of “closed-for-renovation” floor cleaner, congratulations — you’ve found your place.
The decor is an assault on taste. Every surface is curated to ensure maximum cognitive dissonance: a mishmash of cheap nautical knickknacks, a bumper-sticker collage that reads like a fever dream of bad takes, and lighting so apologetically dim you’ll wonder if they’re hiding the food on purpose. The playlist is a grab-bag of songs chosen by an algorithm that clearly hates humanity.
Worst of all is the vibe. If you bring children here thinking you’ll get a tolerable meal, you might as well bring them straight to the exit — and keep walking. This place makes questionable life choices look like a public service. You’ll leave feeling not merely hungry, but morally and gastronomically betrayed.
If you want to experience food that tries and fails, a staff that practices the art of being perpetually busy, and an atmosphere that seems to champion poor judgment, The Fishnet Café is perfect — for every scenario except the one where you actually want a meal. For everyone else: avoid. There are twenty better options on the same block and none of them will make you consider a dramatic life change after one bite.
Final verdict (for the brave, the bored, and the masochistic): do not bring family. Do not bring friends. Do not bring expectations. Bring a sense of irony and a backup restaurant plan.

Fishnet cameras a great place to eat. Our party had breakfast, no one had complaints and the Home fries are amazing! I have Celiac and we were with someone who is vegan and they have some great options also Gf bread available.

This place is super cute! The food was so fresh and delicious. You can tell a great deal of care went into selecting the ingredients and preparation. The lobster in my dish was absolute perfection. I’m still thinking about it. Can’t wait to go back next time I’m nearby!

We drove by after a visit to Bailey Island Beach, then turned around to try it and we’re so glad we did! We chose to sit outside to enjoy the beautiful weather. The atmosphere was casual and friendly, with couples, families, and even a large group of friends enjoying the evening. Plus 2 adorable, little pups.
Everything was delicious! We started with the crab dip which we all devoured, LOL. Hubby chose the chicken dinner with garlicky mash and it was sooooo yummy. I chose the crab cakes and they were DELISH! We finished with the fresh, homemade blueberry pie and chocolate mousse – perfection!
Definitely grab a bite or stop in for a drink if you’re on the island. They serve wine, beer and a few cocktails! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dezirae and her teammate were so gracious and the food was phenomenal! Fish chowder and poutine were great. Will be coming back.

We enjoyed a great breakfast of blueberry pancakes, and scrambled eggs with veggies this week at Fishnet. The service was excellent and our breakfast was prepared perfectly. The coffee was also very good. It’s a special place:-)
