Acadia House Provisions

I've been reading and writing online reviews for a while, and I've learned that you always have to evaluate them critically. Some places create good reviews in various ways, though a large number of reviewers tends to wash that out. The negative reviews can result from an unusually bad experience or unreasonable expectations, but there are some reviewers who offer to write an excellent review if they are "comped" in some way, with a threat of a poor review if they are not. Those poor reviews are often not very detailed and typically focus on one perceived flaw. When you see many excellent reviews with a handful of poor ones, in my experience the majority are correct. That is certainly the case with Acadia House Provisions. My family and I had dinner here several nights ago; the quality and preparation was excellent, and in my opinion a good value for the price. I strongly recommend a reservation, as the indoor seating is about 28 with another six or seven at the bar. The portions are adequate, but not small. If you want large portions I recommend the nearby Harbor Cafe, but they can be crowded on some nights so call ahead. The Acadia Provisions website states that they will close for the season on 10/12/19, which implies a return next year. I will definitely be back.

Excellent new takes on traditional Maine coast favorites. Fast attentive service. As a resident, delighted to have Ryan and Acadia Provisions here. Really looking forward to October when it will be leisurely dining as well as interesting cooking.

The best meal I have had in Maine! We took our parents to this wonderful restaurant. The house rolls are worth the total bill alone. I highly recommend the lobster pot pie and or the daily pasta. The service was exceptional and friendly. Given the quality of the food and the chefs star rating the bill was externally reasonable. Thank you for a lovely night.

This place is simply great food. For a chef of this quality, the prices are more than reasonable. The location is a bit of a hike, unless you’re staying in Bar Harbor or Deer Isle, but worth it. My group of 6 traveled from Lincolnville (1.5 hours) for lunch on opening day, and were rewarded with some of the finest cuisine in Maine. The Lobster Roll and Lobster Pot Pie were heavenly. Definitely recommend the Lobster grilled cheese as well. If you want the best experience, show up hungry and eat well.
