Cafe 2 - Deer Isle

This is definitely my favorite dining spot on the entire island. I typically choose to sit outside, and the food is always unique and perfectly seasoned. One of my top picks is their Hungarian mushroom soup. However, the service can be inconsistent. During my last visit, I encountered several issues with my server, who was quite rude, and she mistakenly charged me for items from another table, so it's important to pay attention. Despite this, the food is so incredible that I can't even deduct a star for the service. Just make sure to check your itemized receipt when paying and try not to let any service issues spoil your experience. I know it may sound odd, but I've never overlooked this with any other restaurant; their food is just that good.

Not a great experience. The fresh-squeezed orange juice tasted spoiled and almost had an alcoholic flavor. When the waitress came to check on us, we pointed it out, and she simply said she tasted it and thought it was fine—talk about poor customer service. The food was equally disappointing; the meat in the corned beef hash seemed to be bad, and I’m genuinely worried about my elderly mother and the risk of food poisoning. I definitely won’t return. It feels like this place takes advantage of tourists who have limited options. The only thing I thought was cute were the chairs; otherwise, the decor is cheesy and unappealing, just like the food.

The restaurant does offer both indoor and outdoor seating. However, despite having large awnings, they don’t allow outdoor seating during rainy weather. Dogs are permitted outside when the weather is nice; otherwise, they suggest takeout. They seem quite strict about not allowing anyone to take food out and then eat at the outdoor tables. Parking can be tricky in the front, but there are additional spaces in the back.

The food was anything but impressive. It's overpriced and flavorless. I'm no Gordon Ramsay however I would bet money that I can make anything on the menu better than they can. I had one of their pasta dishes and the sauce was just about as watery and watered down as you can imagine. not to mention that every single piece of lobster and shrimp was over cooked (truly impressive). Finally once the bill came they ed me even more!!!! they charge $5 to use a card, and charged a required 18% gratuity, then they had the audacity to ask for an additional tip as well!!!!!!! Not to mention that everyone is sat so close together that you'll surely be bumping into every table around you. Avoid this place like the plague.

This was absolutely outstandingly delicious. We got there and waited in line for a long long time. But this was so worth the wait. The bread was so flavorful and fluffy. And the main dishes (even the sides too! were also incredibly flavorful. Tbh i think they should have charged a little more for the food. But it was all around a great experience, and it was crowded for a reason. 10/10 in all aspects. Edit we went back again and it was still extremely good i am very happy : i am very full
