Located in Southwest Harbor on the quiet side of Mt. Desert Island. It's just a short ride from Bar Harbor, where most of the tourist seem to go. The restaurant has tables and booths and also a bar area. It's nicely decorated in a pleasant atmosphere. The wait staff are friendly and efficient. The menu has a good variety of items to select from and reasonably priced. You can eat lite fare or dinner entrees ranging from a seafood pasta to crab Morney and baked stuffed haddock to several cuts of steak. My wife and i both got the same dish, the Walker Wellington, a Filet Mignon, topped with crab meat, wrapped in puff pastry, baked and topped with a Bearnaise sauce. It was outstanding, perfectly prepared, delicious and a good size portion, bigger than i was expecting. We were so filled after dinner that we couldn't order the dessert that we saw and wanted to try. Neither of us normally order dessert, but they had a Tollhouse cookie pie, that sounded good. So, we made plans to return the next day. We got up and ate a small breakfast and went back for a late lunch / early dinner time, because we didn't want to tie up a table eating just a dessert. We each got a slice of the Tollhouse cookie pie with ice cream and drizzled chocolate and a cup of hot tea. It was worth returning for just dessert.
