McKay's Public House - Featured Reviews (817)
McKay's Public House definitely exceeded are expectations. The reviews were great - so we were expecting a wonderful meal. But the restaurant - from the servers to the atmosphere to the food were just outstanding. We sat outside in the courtyard - which was beautiful - the temperature was perfect for a Fall evening. The Brie chase appetizer (special) was delicious, and the lobster was just amazing (1.5 pounds). And the dessert - we went with the blueberry pie with vanilla ice cream- was wonderful. Overall - I would highly recommend McKay's to anyone visiting Bar Harbor
I’m not sure why this place gets dinged in reviews, we thought it was quite good. Wonderful outdoor dining space. The service is very good. We ordered crab cakes 4/5, Caesar salad 4.5/5, Gulf of Maine Salmon 4/5, Truffled Seafood Risotto 4/5, and sticky toffee pudding 5/5. Good adult beverage options
Absolutely the best evening meal we have had in Bar Harbor. Service was professional and courteous. Setting was comfortable. Food was exceptional. 1st rate .
The outdoor seating area is charming, and we had a wonderful meal at McKay's. All the food and desserts were excellent. Service was a little slow though.
Loved the atmosphere here, so cute and cozy. The outdoor garden is amazing, and very romantic. We ordered the fish and chips and clam chowder and were unimpressed with the food, it wasn’t very hot and fairly forgettable for seafood in Maine. We ate right before closing, so definitely took that into consideration for our meal experience.
We accidentally stumbled on to McKay's when my wife and I were in from Nebraska, and this was one of our gems of the trip. Delicious seafood, we had the mussels, the seafood risotto, and the lobster bisque - all of it superb. We sat outside at night in their cute patio/front yard area and checked out the rest of the beautiful old home it's located in. 11/10 would recommend.
Came here for first Arcadia Maine trip and was super nice. More of a friendly Neighborhood restaurant with outdoor garden seating. The staff was very nice and helpful. Wish there were a little more veggie options but overall quite great fir date night. We got the brûlées oysters and raw oysters and both very good. The raw oysters in Maine are quite sweet and yummy, We also received the seafood to risotto and that was good. Would come back
What a fantastic spot. The food was great. Really appreciated the portion sizes and flavors. Lots of different profiles. The pork belly was cooked well. The mussels were super flavorful. Oysters fresh. Great halibut. And the sticky toffee pudding was fantastic.

Very homey and comfortable with a great breakfast. Stayed three nights and had a different breakfast each day. They have a hot water machine in the dining room and a comfortable living room to hang out in. Parking was large enough for a large jeep.

This was such a beautiful place for an easy hike. We loved that it wasn't crowded and the views at the end were breathtaking! Make sure check the rocky areas in the water for seals!
