"This is THE spot for the real deal in lobster. We went to Beal's first and left because of the wait (family of 12), and we're so glad we did. MDI (Mt. Desert Island) is unpretentious, unassuming, and the food and friendliness are the points of emphasis. MDI has its boats docked 100 feet from the kitchen, and when lobster tanks get empty, they walk down to the dock and pull up another crate bobbing in the Somes Sound saltwater. It's family operated, and you will feel like a part of their family when you sit down. Peter and the staff checked in regularly and offered our family pointers on quieter places to enjoy Acadia on the west side of the island. They also offer barbecued ribs and other meats. It's not much to look at ? picnic tables, umbrellas, lawn overlooking the docks ? but it's exactly the kind of place you want to spend a sunset cracking into the shellfish goodness! One of my favorite experiences in Acadia National this week!"
