DINING

The Burning Tree: Frommer's Review - On Route 3 between Bar Harbor and Northeast Harbor, this is an easy restaurant to speed by, but that would be a mistake. This low-key place, with its bright, open, and sometimes noisy dining room, serves the freshest food in the area. Much of the produce and herbs come from its own gardens; the rest of the ingredients are supplied locally whenever possible. Seafood is the specialty, and it's prepared with imagination and skill. The menu changes often to reflect local availability. Typical entrees might include prosciutto-wrapped sea scallops, Maryland-style crab cakes with a roasted jalapeño tartar sauce, or squash ravioli with rosemary cream.

Deckhouse Restaurant and Cabaret Theatre: The Deck House Restaurant and Cabaret Theatre is entering its twenty seventh season as one of New England's premier dining and entertainment establishments. Our original mission remains the same: good food, good service, and good entertainment. The "audience" generally arrives somewhere between 6:30 and 7:45 PM and orders from a full dinner menu (children's portions available on some menu entrees). Around 8:15, after most diners have been served their main courses, the houselights dim, and, while continuing service, the wait staff become the Players and present a "show" which consists of 13 individual numbers, a delightful mixture of solos, duets, quartets, and full group numbers.

Downeast Lobster Bake: Be there with your appetite and camera when the cover is lifted and reveals a colorful blend of lobsters, steamers and corn-on-the-cob amidst a cloud of steam.

Jordan Pond House: The dining traditions of Jordan Pond House date back to the late 1800's. During that era teahouses were established to cater to the growing number of sophisticated summer visitors. Today, Jordan Pond House continues these dining traditions featuring our famous baked popovers and homemade ice cream, fresh Maine seafood, and the finest poultry, meats and vegetables. We invite all Acadia's visitors to share in this unique dining experience surrounded by the mountains, forests, and waters of Jordan Pond.

Lompoc Cafe & Brewpub: The Lompoc opened in 1989 as a small café and gradually evolved into what it is today: a slightly larger small café. Over the years, we have enlarged the space, adding a garden, a bocce court, a larger bar and a heated open air dining room.

We change our menu three times a year, every year, because we choose to use seasonal fish and locally grown, organic produce, and because we like to try new things. Some items return due to requests and some we can never change.

We have been recommended by "The New York Times", "Gourmet Magazine", "Yankee Magazine Travel Guide" and were voted the regional winner of "favorite restaurant" in a 2002 contest sponsored by the Maine Department of Agriculture.

Weddings are our specialty.
