A beautiful spot, but the food and service are barely OK. Go for lunch, when you can really appreciate the location.

The view is amazing and the food is great also, prepared with much TLC this is a place to put on your list when visiting Deer Isle.

I've been going to this restaurant for over ten years, before they even moved to their current location. I've always loved everything I've eaten here, although I've found the portions to be quite large. The location is incredible, especially if you are there during sunset.

We really enjoyed this restaurant! We arrived at sunset, and the view was spectacular. I would suggest going a bit before dark, to fully experience the expansive view. The only complaint was we were seated for about 20 minutes before wait staff came to our table. But all in all, a memorable meal!
