Bar Harbor is a great spot but has too many restaurants that served lack luster food at best. Happy to say that the Side Street Cafe is a winner!! The atmosphere is great, the staff is welcoming and warm and the food was terrific. Great selection of beers on tap too, which is always a plus for me! So happy... More

The staff was super inviting and welcoming. They all came over to play with our baby. And the lobster mac and cheese, while not on the menu, was outstanding with big chunks of lobster and shaved Parmesan. Order the full size and save some for tomorrow

They serve mac-n-cheese that is absolutely amazing and... More
