Excellent choices made the decision difficult, but we came away inspired to try to replicate the tequila cream in the mussels and the dilly side salad. Excellent value!

For our last night in Bar Harbor we wanted to have dinner at a "fine dining" restaurant; Fathom lived-up to its reputation! We stopped-in for a Sunday evening dinner at 6:30 on May 19th. The decor is pleasant and the music was quiet and did not interfere with conversation. The server was extremely friendly and helpful. We ordered the Chateaubriand... More

Food was fantastic. I'm not really a foodie but the meals we had were excellent. I loved the atmosphere and the QUIET music. Everywhere you go now a days plays such loud music, you can't think or talk. This was so pleasant. Will go there again. A great choice made by the Quimby Inn. Thanks

Fathom has just started a Chef series! The first one, held January 24, offered a 6 course duo tasting menu created by chef/owner Josh Heikkinen and his mentor, chef Michael Anderson of August Moon Catering. It was a sell-out, understandably so with the meal they prepared. This week, Feb 27, will be #2 in the series where Fathom Chef Josh... More

The owners of the B&B where we stayed recommended Fathom. We decided to go there to celebrate my husband's birthday. It was the PERFECT choice! The food was delicious, ambiance was lovely and service could not have been better. We particularly enjoyed the fact that dinner was perfectly paced - no one rushed you, but you also didn't wait too... More

Just had a terrific meal at Fathom. Very good service, nice atmosphere and great food. The caesar salad and lobster and snapper spring rolls were very tasty appetizers. Scallops with brussel sprouts were tender, fresh, sweet and delicious. Zucchini gnocchi with lobster and brown butter contained 1 and 1/2 lbs of fresh Maine lobster meat and the Chateaubriand beef filet... More

First I live here and have for 20 years. Fathom is the finest dining experience I have had in years. It is expensive but if it is a special occasion it is worth it. If you want to save some bucks try McKays, excellent food and less expensive. If you voted for Obama you might want to try Havana's also... More

Interesting menu, excellent food and great staff. We were spending a few days in Acadia after Christmas and only a handful of restaurants were open in this mostly summer tourist area. We had checked the Fathom website and we were interested, however we were watching our budget. We decided to dine there after seeing a packed parking lot at 8:30pm-... More
