Father's Day dinner suffered because they were short staffed. Long wait after drinks and bread arrived; manager (owner?) explained staffing situation, and brought second drinks, after first hour. Food finally arrived after large table seated after us got served; my "lazy man's stuffed lobster" was overcooked, but others' food was OK. Long wait for check and payment pickup. Difficult squeezing... More

My husband and I went to Top of the Hill since it was close to the cabin that we were renting. We liked the country décor in the main dining room. The service was excellent! I ordered a Strawberry Fusion drink and it was excellent. So good that I ordered another, however, the second one didn't taste as good as... More

Started with the best lightly cooked calamari ever! Main courses took a lot of deciding on but my shrimp bake was spot on. Would have liked to have fresh peas but the baked spud was just like mum uses to do. Great value for money. Beer selection was good and I negotiated to take home a rather good glass for... More

There are few restaurants on mount desert island that deliver consistently good food year after year. Top of the Hill is an exception. We recently had a lighter fare selection that was more than enough food and well prepared. The outside but enclosed deck is great. True, the highway and trees are the view but the food and service make... More

Fantastic Downeast eats. We've been going to De Muros since it opened and it is one of our family favorites. I love the italian dishes - but there is superb seafood as well. Debbie is a remarkable hostess and they have expanded to include outdoor/semi-outdoor dining. Don't forget dessert.

Food is a mixture of Italian and seafood. Many selections. Prices are about average for the area. A nice place to grab dinner if you're in the Southwest Harbor area. Worth a drive over from other locations on MDI.

If you are looking for an affordable place to take your family with home cooked local food with an Italian flair, this is your place. The ambience is inviting with its warmth, friendly people and well chosen memorabilia as decor. This family run business is family in every way, from the singer/pianist, Roberta, who will knock your socks off, to... More

My husband and I love the shrimp and scallop alfredo, it's excellent! There is a bit of a wait for your food, so be prepared to sit and relax. I recommend having a glass of wine for starters, or maybe one of Debbie’s mean daiquiris’!
