Review:
Testa's Restaurant is a charming institution in Bar Harbor's historic downtown, located along Main Street at its historic location since 1921. The restaurant is known for its fresh fish and shellfish offerings, including dishes prepared with Maine lobsters sourced straight from the boat. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served daily, along with cocktail lounge service upstairs featuring craft cocktails, beers on tap, and a selection of fine wines. Diners can choose from excellent land and sea entrees such as seafood shepherd's pie, honey barbecue pork belly spare ribs, lollipop lamb chops, and haddock almondine or enjoy ocean-to-table delicacies such as twin lobster tails, seafood Newburg, fisherman's platter, or the restaurant's signature Downeast clambake platter. At lunch, a variety of burgers and rolls are offered, including classic lobster rolls, scallop and crab rolls, and the restaurant's 52 Main Street Burger, prepared with apple cider-smoked bacon and a fried egg. Breakfast options range from clever sandwiches and craft omelettes to fruit-focused pancake stacks and interesting eggs Benedict dishes.
