Our day in Bar Harbor, Maine started off pretty horribly with disaster after disaster in our travel plans, but after a wonderful 3 hour tour of Acadia National Park we were back in town and opted to lunch at the West Street Cafe (76 West Street - www.weststreetcafe.com) and were thrilled with our choice as the lobsters were huge, superb, juicy and fun; some of the best ever.
Two of us chose the DOWNEASTER Special for $25 which included a 1-1/2+ pound lobster, New England Clam Chowder, Fries, Slaw and BLUBERRY PIE to die for with Vanilla Ice Cream. This was a great, no, AMAZING DEAL. One of us chose the Special for $31 which brought the HUGE LOBSTER on a bed of MUSSELS instead of the bowl of chowder. The ultimate decadence was the TWIN TAILS option for $39 which included two full tails along with their four claws and knuckles...plus sides.
We all marveled at the superb quality of the lobster and wished it was this good back home, not to mention this fresh.
The boys split a pizza and were in heaven as we rolled out after also finishing a bottle of Chateau Ste. Michelle 2006 Chardonnay from Washington that worked perfectly with lobster, lobster, lobster and lobster.
