Abel's Lobster - Mt Desert

We love visiting here when in the area. I’m still thinking about the blueberry margarita! I got the lobster roll, it wasn’t the best I’ve had this year, it felt like it was missing something, but it was still good! The drinks and the views were my favorite. Server was very friendly.

The food was excellent. I had a great cheeseburger (not a seafood guy), and my wife had what she claimed to be the best lobster roll she's ever had. The service left a lot to be desired. We were left alone for about 30 minutes after our plates were cleared by the busperson before our server stopped by again for dessert/check. In the meantime, the server visited several other tables (some multiple times). The distinct impression was that we were forgotten about. The amosphere could be greatly improved as well. We were seated in the corner on a hightop. The chairs were a few inches short to be appropriate for the tables, and the tabletop comes up to center of your chest while seated. The row of hightops is close to the kitchen so you get to hear the squeaks of both the kitchen and entrance doors. Additionally, the pendant lights adjacent to the tables seemed to randomly dim and brighten every few minutes. Pretty hard to ignore since these lights are at about eye level for the hightop tables. The poor service compounded with the strange atmosphere quirks really soured what could have been a really great dining experience

Best lobster in my life. We couldn't get in for a dinner (1 hour wait, no reservations) so we went back the day after for lunch.

Great sunset views, good food, great service but the real star of the show is the blueberry pie! Best pie of my life and I’m southern! Get the blueberry pie!

The Lazy Lobster was fantastic! The Smoked Olde Fashion was fire! The fried fish sandwich was great! Highly recommended! Service was excellent!
