Brayden McLaughlin
We accidentally stumbled on to McKay’s when my wife and I were in from Nebraska, and this was one of our gems of the trip. Delicious seafood, we had the mussels, the seafood risotto, and the lobster bisque – all of it superb. We sat outside at night in their cute patio/front yard area and checked out the rest of the beautiful old home it’s located in. 11/10 would recommend.

Abigail Ege
Loved the atmosphere here, so cute and cozy. The outdoor garden is amazing, and very romantic. We ordered the fish and chips and clam chowder and were unimpressed with the food, it wasn’t very hot and fairly forgettable for seafood in Maine. We ate right before closing, so definitely took that into consideration for our meal experience.

Paulina Guerero
Came here for first Arcadia Maine trip and was super nice. More of a friendly Neighborhood restaurant with outdoor garden seating. The staff was very nice and helpful. Wish there were a little more veggie options but overall quite great fir date night. We got the brûlées oysters and raw oysters and both very good. The raw oysters in Maine are quite sweet and yummy, We also received the seafood to risotto and that was good. Would come back

What a fantastic spot. The food was great. Really appreciated the portion sizes and flavors. Lots of different profiles. The pork belly was cooked well. The mussels were super flavorful. Oysters fresh. Great halibut. And the sticky toffee pudding was fantastic.

We came here for our engagement dinner and it was fantastic. The food was all absolutely delicious- my truffle seafood risotto was exquisite. The drinks were good as well. And the ambiance and staff were wonderful. We would have gone back again during our trip if it wasn’t closed on Sunday 🙂

Great place for a full or light dinner, the Gazpacho was delicious! Only weird thing was we got one dessert to go and the kitchen staff put ice cream over it. If we hadn’t checked it would have been a soupy mess. Seems like something you would either mention or ask the customer if they want when getting it to go.

Erin Kellogg
This might be my favorite meal I have ever eaten. The Jamaican jerk chicken with curried veggies and rice was insane delish and gluten free. Perfect meal after hiking in Acadia all day.
