1 Best Restaurant in Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island, Maine

Red Sky Restaurant

$$$ Fodor's choice

Whether you have a table in the dining room or a seat at the small bar, you’ll feel comfortable at this longtime fine dining downtown restaurant, where yellow walls, white tablecloths, and the white brick fireplace add lightness and dark wood walls and ceilings and landscape paintings (for sale) add warmth. Along with entrées such as lobster risotto with asparagus and maple-glazed baby back ribs, grilled with crescendo after slowly braising, there’s always a burger on the menu. Appetizers are inventive, like house-made duck and pork sausage with pear, rhubarb, and raspberry chutney. Fine-tuned seasonally, the menu features locally sourced foods, including meat and fish.
