Mckays Public House - Bar Harbor

Right on Main Street in Bar Harbor, McKay has outdoor or indoor seating. Eating is very good, but you know it?s at $20-40 for most entrees. I enjoyed the cunning chicken. It is a roasted leg area with rice and beans, grilled pineapple and a fried curtain. I can't talk high enough when it comes to blueberry cake. As for the cake, the best I ever had. There was a Cobbler feeling and served with ice cream. It was worth the $9.

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.

Fantastic restaurant in the heart of Bar Harbor. The Mac n Cheese with scallops was amazing. The South African Sav Blanc was crisp too. The Caribbean snapper was good too. The Sticky toffee pudding is on par with the sticky toffee pudding from Scotland. We will return tomorrow as we are in Bar Harbor for a long birthday weekend.

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. ?

Even though it was their last night of the season, everything about this experience was perfect. Service, timing of courses, dish recommendations, cocktails, etc. The food was the best meal I have had in a very long time! Our server, Sarah, was amazing. I wish I could give them an extra star. Highly recommended!
