Jordan Pond House - Bar Harbor

I was extremely hyped for this restaurant because of how many people recommended it and was sorely disappointed with everything. The service wasn't good. My partner found plastic in her drink and all the server did was substitute another one and still charged her. They had a half menu and what we ordered had hair in it. The popovers were just okay. Overall was really sad with my experience there. The vibe in there was incredibly weird too. Idk how to explain it. Also the bathrooms were disgusting. It would take a lot for me to eat here again.

This place is the only restaurant in the park. I would strongly recommend going to Downeast Deli in Bar Harbor picking up sandwiches (they take approximately 30 seconds) and skipping this restaurant. The wait, even with a reservation is ridiculous. The service is mediocre. The worst part they have this dumb Tea Time Menu in the middle of the day (I just tried to find the hours online and had extreme difficulty). Multiple tables around us were very upset they had to order off this limited menu (instead of the lunch menu). When people are hiking/exploring the park all day, meal times aren't normal. It just seems ridiculous to not offer more options. The view outside is gorgeous. The parking is awful. The prices are outrageously expensive compared to in town.

Jordan Pond House beheld a beauty that is unmatched and exceeded my expectations. The poppers and jam were so delightful and tasty. I reminisce the flavors scenery and culinary breakfast experience! I want to revisit again some day

We waited an hour and a half to be seated, and unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the hype. The restaurant lacks proper heating and cooling, so be prepared to feel uncomfortable while you eat—we had to dine with our jackets on. Our server didn't seem very enthusiastic about his job either. Additionally, parking is quite a challenge! Service: Dine-in Meal Type: Lunch

I had to wait an hour to be seated, despite there being many empty tables. Although the food arrived quickly, it was carelessly served, with soup spilling over the saucer and sides of the bowl. The overall cleanliness was disappointing; everything appeared stained or slightly dirty, as if nothing had been properly cleaned in years. Even the menu was riddled with spelling errors. I can't understand how this place has its current rating; the location deserves much better.
