McKay's Public House

Everything was excellent from the service to the food. Our server Theresa (?) was attentive and well informed. I had the seafood risotto which was one of the best I've ever had. Husband had the seafood ciopinno which was also great. We shared the brownie sundae-satisfyingly yummy. Saw the sticky toffee pudding at a nearby table and that looked wonderful too. Pleasant sitting on the patio. Would definitely recommend.

Nice choice for romantic dinner. We started with a wedge salad and a McKay's salad. Wedge was a nice portion with blue cheese, bacon, cherry tomatoes, and vinegarette drizzel. I'm not a fan of vinegar, but the small amount was complimentary. My wife's salad: Blue cheese, nuts, raisins, with truffled vinegarrette. She said it was light and a good blend of flavors. Main course of fisherman's catch was really good. 32$ for shrimp, scallops, haddock, and fries. Slaw was fresh, but not to my taste. Loved the fresh cut fries and breading! We went with an Austrian wine, Gruner Veltliner, as an unknown entity upon recommendation. Reading the label "goes well with anything fried" lol. It was really good with a peppery finish. Wife's main course of Mushroom Marsala Sacchetti was delish. Good mix of flavors. Creamy sauce with stuffed pasta. She was very happy with her choice. I was stuffed, and am a big man, from my platter. An assist probably from the wine convinced my wife to order Toffee Sticky pudding. Similar to bread pudding but banana or zucchini bread (not sure). I was glad when she pushed the dessert to my side of the table. I like more caramel, but the bread was soo good. Priced as a touristy dinner. It's in line with other places we've eaten in Bar Harbor, but a much better atmosphere.

Overpriced mediocre food. We ordered two specials: stir fried tuna and halibut. The spice and sauce of tuna taste weird. It completely covers the freshness of the tuna. Besides, the taste of tuna and noodles do not go well together. The halibut tastes okay but not great considering its $45 price tag. In general, it doesn't worth the money.

Ordered poutine, truffled seafood risotto, beef short ribs. The seafood risotto was one of the best risotto I've ever had. Beef short ribs were full of flavor and very tender. We ate so much we didn't have room for dessert. 🙁
