A Fine Night Out
Bar Harbor's newest fine dining restaurant is Havana. Chef Paul Wilson turns out a
delicious Cuban-influenced menu that changes nightly. Start with jicama
stuffed shrimp (shrimp stuffed with grated jicama and coconut served over
sweet potato puree w/peanut dipping sauce); pork & papaya salad (local orgnic
pork tenderloin thinly slice and served w/papaya, chilled w/black beans a
Cuban relish); or crab & roasted corn cakes (w/roasted red pepper puree and
cilantro sour cream). Sample entrees include Catalan Tuna (yellowfin tuna
seasoned and sauteed w/raisins and pineapple, glazed with white wine and
citrus served/w moros ye cristianos & sauteed spinach) and Bourbon Pork
(local organic pork tenderloin medallions sauteed with rosemary and pork
stock finished with brown sugar and bourbon and served with mashed sweet and
red potatoes and sauteed okra and almonds). For dessert try the rich, dense
mango and Tuaca chocolate truffle torte or freshly made ice creams and
sorbets. An extensive wine list from around the world, relaxing atmosphere,
and excellent service make a night at Havana a truly enjoyable evening.
If you are interested in a menu offering more of the standard Maine fare,
try the Bar Harbor Inn's waterfront dining
room. Appetizers include clam chowder, lobster bisque, and shrimp cocktail.
Lobster pie (chunks of lobster meat in a rich sauce with a buttered crumb
topping) and seafood mixed grille (Maine lobster tail, hot buttered
crabmeat, scallops in bacon and fresh haddock) are specialties of the inn.
Rounding out the menu are pan-seared boneless lamb medallions (with wild
mushrooms, cabernet reduction and potato dumplings), mushroom penne with
exotic mushrooms (garlic herb cheese cream reduction) and butter roasted
veal and lobster (veal slices rolled with lobster meat, fontina & avocado,
herbed cream reduction).
For a dining experience similar to the Bar Harbor Inn, try the Rose Garden
Restaurant at the Bar Harbor Hotel ~ Bluenose Inn. The menu at this five diamond restaurant
includes first courses such as east coast tuna tartar parfait with golden
caviar, ginger cream and wonton chops; second course salads such as Seal
Cove goat cheese, mango, tomato, cucumber and baby field greens salad with
pecans and Chardonnay vinaigrette; and main courses like Maine lobster
served out of the shell with a sweet corn-black bean melange, tarragon
custard and lobster sauce, or pan-seared duck breast, confit of leg with
toasted orzo and wheat berries, poached pear and sweet port wine sauce.
