The Loft Raw Bar and Seafood Grill: Experience Fresh Seafood in Bar Harbor, ME

Very nice atmosphere. The service was very good. Since there were a lot of us in my party, had to try the lobster bake. The lobster was sweet and juicy. The ahi tuna poke bowl had sea salt edamame, which I’ve never tried in NY so it was quite delicious. The ahi tuna was a little on the salty side. I would pass on the poke here in Maine. The garlic crab fries were decent. Pretty much like any other place that sells French fries. The Mac and cheese and chicken tenders were steaming hot so eat with caution for the little kiddos. The wonton nachos were pretty good. I would re-order that appetizer. I’ve never had blueberry soda but it must be a thing here in bar harbor. It tasted quite good as well. I also saw an ice cream shop selling it as well. I didn’t eat the raw oysters so I can’t comment on them. The fried lobster roll was not worth the price. It was one fried lobster placed on bread. There was more bread than lobster. I must be going to the wrong seafood spots in Maine. Next time, try out one of those warehouses where you can get wholesale lobster and see if they can steam it for you.

Amazing! We had a fantastic lunch here today with some amazingly fresh oysters! When we walked in we basically had the place to ourselves. The music was very loud and when our waitress Angel heard us discussing whether we should dine inside or out due to the volume she immediately turned it off. When she turned it back on it was at a much lower volume. We sat in very cushy chairs by the window and ordered a flight of oysters for two. The cranberry and blonde were our favorite. We also very much enjoyed the volcano roll. The food and service were fantastic. We’ll definitely return!

Had a great experience here for a late lunch. Service was great and interior was clean and well lit. They had a specific dog menu which was great and my pup approved of the chicken and rice. We enjoyed the lobster bake and tartare.

The oysters were amazing- i loved the pickled onion shaved ice which paired perfectly! My family ordered a variety of seafood dishes and they were all bursting with wonderful flavors. It felt like we were eating at a high-end restaurant but the prices were lower than some of the other seafood restaurants in town. Highly recommend!

The food was incredible! Every drink was impeccable. I felt transported into a beautiful world ran by expert chefs. Love it so much would come back again over AND OVER

Found this place on a luck. Tried to eat at Getty's down the road and they had an over an hour. Wait. So this lovely young lady off the street, said we have no weight upstairs at the loft. We were hungry, so we jumped on. It walked up The stairs got sat down at a lovely little restaurant and 2 our surprise, the food was outstanding. I repeat outstanding. Go here, go here now. Don't go to Getty's down the street where all the hype is. You'll sit. You'll wait and the food here is much better. Thanks again. Young lady who pulled us in off of the street. We thought this was a great dinner treat.

Absolutely loved our experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We had the sushi burrito, fruita de marre, whole snapper, oysters. they also offer happy hour with discounts on food and drinks. service was attentive and friendly, and the ambiance was perfect for a relaxing seafood feast.

We went late night for some small bites and drinks to end our night in the harbor, the bartender (I believe) was also our waitress and was very professional, kind, and made us an amazing cocktail that paired very well with our sushi. The Sushi was very fresh and filling, the guacamole was also surprisingly good! Will definitely be returning the next time we visit. The atmosphere was very pleasant and quiet compared to the rest of the town in the busy season. Great choice for late night reprieve from the busy and tourist filled streets. Check it out!
