After our first day exploring Acadia National Park — scaling cliffs and convincing ourselves we’re “moderate-risk” adventurers — we decided to skip the Bar Harbor crowds and dine at The Bistro on Eden, conveniently located at the Atlantic Oceanside Hotel.
The view? Lovely. The vibe? A little… off. The place has that “it could be nice if someone cared just a bit more” feel — not bad, just lacking that spark (or maybe a good interior refresh).
My husband, on his noble quest to sample every lobster bisque in Maine, declared this one the worst of the trip — and trust me, the man takes bisque seriously. My beet salad with picked lobster was actually quite good, fresh and nicely balanced, which saved the meal from total disappointment.
Service matched the décor — polite enough but not exactly engaged. It had that subtle “we’re doing you a favor” energy, which really pairs best with… no one’s martini. Speaking of which, I had to remind our server to actually add the olives to mine. Small details, big impact, friends.
In conclusion: go for the view, not the vibe. There’s potential here, but it needs a little love — and a lot more attention to the bisque.

A group of four of us kicked off our Acadia trip here with clam chowder, a beet salad, a Cesar salad, crab cakes, a hot lobster roll and the haddock sandwich. Everyone loved their food! We all especially loved the clam chowder and one of us declared the lobster roll the best of the trip.

Overall, I’m kind of disappointed. The blueberry pie was quite good! I do recommend that. But the clam chowder didn’t have much flavor, salt and pepper didn’t help. The fish and chip also didn’t have a lot of flavor. But my issue was the service, I told the waitress I didn’t want to items listed and she brought them. They couldn’t be reused so they had to be thrown away, it was a waste. No one checked in to see how I was doing and if I needed anything. For the price you pay, the food should be better.
Overall, service was meh, the food was pretty meh also. I don’t think I would go back.

Good atmosphere and good service. Nice spot for lunch if you want to avoid the hustle and bustle of downtown Bar Harbor with good parking options and a decent view of the harbor. The lobster bisque was ok more ocean tasting than others but if you like that then I’m sure it’s excellent. Had some chunks of meat which is great. The crab dip was really delish. Salads were ok. There was a small arts market set up outside and we checked that out afterwards.

It is a small place and we were very happy with our food. We were staying at the hotel so we loved bein able to dine without having to go back into town. We had a burger, the beet salad and lobster bisque. Everything was delicious, including the fries. I was not crazy about the way the lobster bisque was prepared (a little too dark and salty for me) but everyting else was delicious. We also had the pavlova and the triple chocolate cake. Both were beautiful and delicious.

Small bistro inside the Atlantic hotel. The food was very good quality and I should mention that the person in charge of ingredients for the kitchen is doing an amazing job. Everything is very fresh and very tasty. Fish and chips were exceptionally good, with fresh, full of flavor fish. The cocktails are very nicely made. The only thing that is bad is the service, careless and slow waiters. But still a good place to eat.

Lovely restaurant with nice views and good food.. Stopped in for dinner and enjoyed a delicious fish and chips dinner and a beef tenderloin dinner. The fish was fresh and flaky and the steak was very tender . Food was very good. There is also a bar with some additional seating as well.
Good service and good food.

On our last day in Bar Harbor we decided to go to the Bistro. First the restaurant is small but we got there at 5pm so we were seated right away next to the window, which was dirty. My wife ordered the fish and chips and a Caesar salad. I ordered the lobster bisque and a Bistro burger. When I got my bisque, I had to ask for a spoon! I was not sure about the ‘Lobster bisque’ because it was brown. Every Lobster bisque Ive had previously was pink or red, not brown and it didn’t even taste like Lobster. When my server asked how my bisque was I said, Ive never had brown Lobster bisque that didn’t taste like Lobster.
I ordered my burger medium but it was well done.
Our server only took the order but food was brought by others.
My wife did like the Fish & chips but I was very disappointed with my last dinner in Bar Harbor.
The bill with tip was $118 which is way over priced for what we got in service and food quality.

It waa great to sit on the deck, look at the ocean and eat delicious food. The drinks (cocktails) from menu, i don’t recommend but we didn’t get charged for them. We stuck with bottled drinks which was good. The food was Amazing though.

Excellent Lobster Rolls. Blueberry pie was delicious too. So good, we wanted to eat a second night there but thought we’d try another place. Wish we had eaten again at the Bistro instead. It was just so delicious.
