Always fabulous. Beautiful and comfortable setting. Expert and efficient wait staff. Delicious and creative meals, superb spices and flavors. The pies are homemade and are incredible and the owner/host is charming and friendly. You can’t beat it- anywhere!

Very unique South American Cuisine in a very eclectic atmosphere. You may find this restaurant hard to find as it is tucked away in one of the rural areas of South West Harbor. only negative is that it is a little pricey but that’s what you have to expect in tourist town Mount Desert Island

Lovely! Got in after dark for our first night ever on Mount Desert Island, found out most things closed at 8 or 9pm (at least on a Sunday). Saw online that XYZ was open, so we rushed over. Called on the way, and they were so friendly and helpful; even squeezed us in with a reservation, so we knew we weren’t driving over for nothing. (Lucky we got in; the place was packed.)
The host (owner?) greeted us warmly, got us situated comfortably, and made recommendations (which I appreciated because I am a vegetarian).
Our server was one of the best I have ever had: kind, helpful, very attentive. I can’t speak highly enough about the service.
The chiles relleños were AMAZING! They use a rehydrated pepper, rather than a fresh one, amd the flavor amd texture were out of this world. My parents had the short rib and the mole chicken (each delicious), but both agreed my dish was their favorite. (If you eat seafood, maybe try to dish with 1 chile relleño and 3 giant shrimp- we saw it coming put at the end of our evening- looked and smelled wonderful.)
Also… the Margaritas Especiales were tasty and potent!
Don’t go here if you are looking for endless baskets of chips and salsa or heaping plates of cheap food. But if you want a delightful experience in a lovely little returant, where the service is spectacular and the spices are mouthwatering and the food is unique and delicious… make sure you make it to XYZ. We loved it.

Let’s start with the obvious. Any lively restaurant at the end of a dirt road by itself is pretty cool. What’s more, the food we had – chile verde, tongue, and short rib – were all excellent. Our service at the bar was okay, although the pre-mixed margaritas were something of a surprise and disappointment. Even at that, the bartender was so overwhelmed that two different parties got up and left for lack of service.

Terrific authentic Mexican food! I had the short rib and it was incredible! All of the food is absolutely delicious. Great margaritas too! Definitely worth going off the beaten path for this gem.

Over the years, I’ve enjoyed Mexican food in Mexico, in the South, and the west coast and this I have to say has been the biggest disappointment that my wife and I have ever had. No salsa and chips, but 4 tiny pieces of bread with two tiny cups of a teaspoon of red and green sauce. The food was bland and the chicken wasn’t marinated in the sauce. The salad was a few pieces of lettuce with olive oil on the side. The portions were very small for the $26.00 a plate price.

Terrible experience. Tried to make a reservation for three days straight and got denied, canceled, and pushed off every time. Tried to pick up food on the third day instead of dining in, they told us they were too busy even though that was the day they told us to make a reservation due to it normally being “dead”. Rude waitresses, rude transactions on the telephone, rude experiences. Would not recommend.

This place is legit. . .noticed some commenters panning the place. This is more fine dining upscale than anything else. Don’t be misled by the commenters. Not Tex Mex or all inclusive resort Jimmy Buffett Mex restaurant. Make a reservation and be in the right mindset. Enjoy what XYZ **is**
