Havana
$$$$•Latin American•4.8(3,405)Havana has been committed to serving local and organic meats, produce and seafood since it opened 25 years ago. All of our meats are “naturally raised” meaning no steroids, antibiotics or hormones and “humanely raised” meaning room to roam, proper shelter and gentle handling. We make every effort to buy only sustainably harvested seafood, primarily from the Gulf of Maine. We have consistently searched out New England farmers and fisherfolk to purchase product that is not only great tasting but great for the environment and local economy as well.Reading Room Restaurant at The Bar Harbor Inn
$$$$•Contemporary American•4.8(2,397)The Reading Room offers guests of the Bar Harbor Inn, visitors to Bar Harbor, and our dearly loved regulars a distinguished fine dining experience overlooking Frenchman Bay.
Serving breakfast and dinner daily, the Reading Room is a one of a kind dining experience. Delectable local Maine cuisine and attentive service are surpassed only by the magnificent panoramic ocean views.
Start your evening with locally farmed oysters while deciding between our signature Beef Short Ribs or Filet and Lobster Tail fresh from the boats on the Harbor. Linger over a slice of Maine Blueberry Pie while you enjoy a crafted cocktail and soft piano music.
Smart casual attire is preferred, but not required. We do not accept parties exceeding 6 people. Please note that we are not able to guarantee tables by the window.
We look forward to seeing you!

Discover Bar Harbor
A picturesque town in northern Maine, Bar Harbor sits on Mount Desert Island surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and serves as the gateway to Acadia National Forest. With an island locale, it should come as no surprise that Bar Harbor is a great place to find fresh seafood. Whether you are looking for a whole lobster, a bowl of New England clam chowder, steamers, or raw oysters, you won't be disappointed with your options. You can enjoy your seafood in quaint settings with views of Maine's rocky coast. The town also offers grills, cafés, and even a barbecue joint for those looking for something not from the sea. For dessert, you can try a scoop from one of the many homemade ice cream shops or a slice of pie at a bakery or pastry shop.
