Beautiful view of Southwest Harbor and open ocean from Manset Town Dock. Eat outside on picnic tables and walk along the Manset Shore Road while you wait for Ryan's scrumptious fare. Comfortable for individuals, regulars, and families with kids.

Popovers, popovers, popovers! Very cool mid-morning atmosphere with outside eating and music in Southwest Harbor. It's for the "Common Good"--pay what you can afford and proceeds go to the local soup kitchen.

At the end of Clark Point Road in Southwest Harbor. Grab lunch or dinner on the dock or take away cooked or uncooked seafood for a dinner back at the house. In the "off-season", walk along the left of the dock and to the back of the building to buy lobster and scallops.

Fine dining for a special occasion inside; more affordable fare (we love the "mixed grill") at the bar or high-top table outside on the "Parilla". The mohitos are so good!
