Seafood-centric spot for lobster and crab rolls with lively bar energy; chowder style divides opinions and prices lean high for portions.
Bar Harbor delivers solid neighborhood seafood dining with strong lobster and crab rolls and friendly, attentive service that exceed typical casual standards. However, quality variation in chowder and portions and modest comfort levels prevent grade A-grade performance. The lively South Lake Union location suits casual drinks and seafood sandwiches well, though it doesn't command special-occasion status.
One caveat: Chowder texture is intentionally light; diners expecting thick creaminess may be disappointed
