"Dad, tomorrow night we are coming here for dinner". That's what my son said after our maiden voyage to the new restaurant in Bass Harbor, Nemos. Quite an endorsement from a six year old.
After gossiping for weeks about the stacks of lumber and assorted other materials that started to appear on the site of the former Nautilus restaurant on Flat Iron Road in Bass Harbor and the proposed lighthouse the owners want to erect, a group of us locals decided to put up or shut up and give the place a try.
And I am happy to report that we went. We had a great time and had some great food and at a decent price. Despite some mixed up orders and our kids fascination with the Billy Bass at the front entrance, we managed to sample most of the limited menu which consists mainly of fried seafood and BBQ. The pacific sockeye salmon got the thumbs up from several in our group in both deep fried (!!) and grilled versions. The fried haddock was great and the ribs and chicken combo was devoured. The kids all enjoyed the "chicken fries" which were very thin strips of chicken fried. Probably the only complaint was the size of the scallop basket although the small size was ordered. Well that and a few of the Real Ale beers came with about two inches of foam at the top of the pints.
All and all Nemos is an extremely casual place to enjoy some good seafood and the company of friends without any pretensions. If you can roll with the limited menu and the Mom and Pops style of service, its a very fun place that should be given a try.
