About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
The Islesford Dock Restaurant & Gallery is just that - a restaurant and gallery on a dock on Islesford, Little Cranberry Island, Maine. We have a large greenhouse right out back that produces a good amount of our produce, source our lobsters from the fisherman's co-op just next door, and use Gulf of Maine seafood almost exclusively. The menu is rounded out with naturally raised meats and chicken and the service is casual but professional, warm and inviting. Make sure you get out to Islesford Dock while you're here in the area by taking the Beal & Bunker mail boat that makes multiple trips back and forth every day or take one of the several other tour boats out.

We are closed Mondays throughout the Summer. Starting in September we will be open for dinner service only, and we are closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Season ends October 1st.

    IDF was the BEST experience we had on our week long trip at MDI. The journey to and from on the Beal & Bunker Ferry was a beautiful adventure that made the dining experience even better. The food is unbelievably delicous and the wine list complements beyond expectations. Excellent service on the most gorgeous island. We loved the ambience of the bar and restaurant and looking at all of the paintings after our meal. Do not miss this if you are visiting Acadia!!

    We had the most magical night here. It was our anniversary and we’re staying in bar harbor. We took the 4:30 mailboat (Beal and bunker pier) from north east harbor which was super cute, lots of locals headed out to the island and was $35 each, round trip and you can pay right on the boat, no reservation required in the off season. Beautiful ride through the islands that brought us to the dock right next to the restaurant. We arrived around 5:15 and had brought a bottle of wine and walked along the beach before returning to the dock for our 6:30 reservation. We sat inside with an incredible view of the sunset. The lobster poutine herb fries were one of the best things I’ve ever had. Well come back next year just for that! And the lobster roll and fish of the day were phenomenal. The staff were all super nice and we adored our server, Precious. She was very knowledgeable, friendly, and took the time to chat with us about the island. After heading outside to watch the sunset we hopped on the mailboat home and the stars were unreal. One of the best views I’ve ever seen. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. It truly felt like we stepped into a page in a fairytale and we will remember our night forever!

    Best dinner I’ve had there all summer. Arctic Char was delicious and service was terrific. Unfortunate that we can’t get dock space any longer so we can’t always take guests that can’t handle the longer dark walk from the town dock.

    A hidden gem … get the mail boat to Little Cranberry (Islesford) and discover this amazing restaurant by the dock. Great menu, delicious cheese scones with warm honey butter and the best lobster I’ve ever had!

    Love going to Isleford Dock. Our last visit had slow service but our server was working like a dog. Great view, good food, worth the trip to get there!
