Long wait if you dont have reservations

What a fantastic place. We went to Bar Harbor on a family reunion and 20 of us trekked up to Jordan Pond for lunch. Actually, we didnt even mind waiting so long for our tables because it was such a beautiful place to kill time. The little ones went down to the pond with some adults and scurried after minnows and tadpoles. The adults lounged around and enjoyed the view.br/br/I know it sounds weird that a restaurant might be wonderful for babies, but heres why I think so. It is outdoors and a bit noisy. No one minds when your baby cries or needs to breast feed. In fact, at one point, we put our daughter down on a blanket in the grass next to our table and she happily rolled around while we ate. Its not your average restaurant where you can put your baby on the floor!br/br/Id make this a "dont miss" stop if I ever get to return to Bar Harbor. Absolutely lovely.br/
