Simple Done Well

Well, I'm from Philly, and my husband is from NY originally but now we live in far northern Maine. We LOVE Poor Boy's, and it is our prime travel destination in Bar Harbor where we travel to almost every autumn. Service is always excellent. When we make reservations, we never have to wait. The food has always been excellent, especially their Lazy Lobster. Specialty drinks and desserts are hedonistic! And service is always top-notch, since the owners are family and really care. Can't wait to go back year after year.

While visiting Bar Harbor, we inquired with a local merchant who had the best local food and were directed toward this restaurant. At the end of the retail mania, a quaint looking house now restaurant was drawing a crowd around 4 pm. The restaurant opened at 430 pm with many of them discussing their dining experience from the night before. As we waited, we glanced at the paper menu and enormous homemade dessert section. Our dinner was awesome and well worth the wait and walk to this establishment. The crab cakes were " melt in your mouth" delicious while the pasta entrees were equally delicious. Our take along blueberry white chocolate cheesecake was a baker's dream.

We ate here on a warm evening (upstairs next to the window)! The boiled lobster meal comes with a lobster bisque to start, a whole lobster to follow with vegetable sides and then a brownie an ice-cream for dessert! Unbeatable value! My husband had the baked haddock with shrimp and said it was great too! Nice service and good wines.
