"I cannot sing the praises of Thirsty Whale high enough! It is by far my favorite place to eat in Bar. I have never been disappointed no matter what I order (although the Fried Clams are transcendent. Have a napkin ready because they will make you weep from their perfection.) The staff is wonderful and always willing to make the prefect suggestion, not just for their menu but for other places around town. No one will argue that there are plenty of excellent restaurants in Bar Harbor. But if you are looking for a place that is no nonsense good-eats, great prices for amazing quality, (and not a tourist trap), look no further! I have always felt that the sign of a good restaurant is if it's frequented by locals and most of the time, it's half locals, half travelers. If they have captured the taste buds of the good people of Bar Harbor, they can certainly capture yours! Take it from someone who's husband is a professional chef for the past 20+ years (and tends to painfully critique every singe aspect of a restaurant) this is the only place in Bar Harbor that he will go to multiple times while on vacation."
