The Nor'Easter Pound & Market

So the peppercorn whiskey sauce was one of the best steak sauces I've ever had in my life and I miss it already. My steak meal was FABULOUS. The drinks and blueberry pie left a bit to be desired but I don't even care, this place still gets five stars because the steak and sauce were that good. (My husband also enjoyed his fish and pasta.) Plus, the patio was a great option to sit on since we had our dog and the service was awesome.

We visited on a Tuesday in mid-June 2025 for breakfast before our National Park Cruise with Sea Princess Cruise out to Cranberry Island. This place was open early enough that one of my cousin wanted to grab a quick breakfast sandwich. I did not order anything myself but wanted to check it out. it's actually a very nice restaurant with a market. The one staff lady that was there was super nice and accommodating constantly talking with us as our items were being prepared. Super friendly. I didn't actually buy any food so I can't really rate it but the service was nice and there were a couple groups in there in the early morning but it was pretty quiet. I bet it could be a little more rowdy during lunch or dinner. I would certainly consider coming back here to grab something to eat and/or

This market has a large food and drink menu, and everything was delicious that we ordered. The prices were more than reasonable ($42 for 6oz lobster roll, $33 for 4oz). Excellent location with a big patio, environment inside is open and spacious and not too loud. Great store too!

Had a 8:45pm reservation for a group of 7 - ate dinner post sunset hike. We were struggling to find a spot that stayed open past 9pm in Bar Harbor / Mt Desert. Nor’Easter was still busy this late on a Monday. Food took a while to come out; the server was friendly but very busy with lots of tables. Food was fine - very fried, and meal rounded out to over $350 for everyone to have an entree, a drink and we split a few appetizers. Shared the lobster Mac and cheese which I do not recommend it was not very hot and noodles were dry. Crab cakes on the Cesar salad were fine - not great, not bad. Would recommend this restaurant for splitting an app and one drink, not a full dinner.

Located next to the marina, the Nor’Easter Pound and Market promises excellent food in a casual atmosphere. The site has indoor and outdoor seating, a full bar, and even a market. The seating was spacious and comfortable and the bathrooms were clean. The service was excellent and the food was great, albeit not the cheapest. We went with the warmed lobster rolls, which was fairly expensive, but it’s warm lobster so…. The lobster stew was excellent with huge chunks of lobster. The chowder was also good but hard to compare when your table ate was stuffing her face with large pieces of lobster in her stew. Overall, this was a pleasant experience - definitely recommend.
