Jordan Pond House - http://www.jordanpond.com/, Park Loop Road, Seal Harbor - (207) 276-3244
Nestled along Park Loop Road (27 miles) within Acadia National Park, we decided to make a stop for lunch. (Only stop we could find for food within the park). By the time we got there, we were famished and had a good 20-30 minute wait. We decided to go into the dining room for food. The menu was reasonable considering the location of the dining establishment and with no visible competition for miles.
Popovers seem to be a favorite. I got the lobster stew (lobster with sherry , heavy cream and butter) along with two popovers (it was delicious). Butter and blue berry jam could be used to spread on your popover. Our starter of crab cakes was very nice. Not overly full of breading, the crab meat was overflowing and the sauce used with the cakes was good. My friends all never had one before! I was a bit shocked.
( A popover is a light, hollow roll made from an egg batter similar to that used in making Yorkshire pudding. The name "popover" comes from the fact that the batter swells or "pops" over the top of the muffin tin while baking. They can also be baked in individual custard cups. source: wikipedia)
The lobster stew though it was delicious was not satisfying. The flavors of lobster, sherry, cream and butter were delicious. I paid $19.95 for two popovers and a bowl of lobster stew. I was amazed at the amount of lobster meat I got (a whole lobster tail and some claw meat). Even my dining companions commented they were expecting to see less lobster.
The lobster quiche was delicious and was made with havarti cheese which gave a nice edge to herbs flavor to the quiche. The Jordan House was very busy but the food made up for the wait.
