Burger with blueberry and goat cheese was great. Only things is- I firmly believe bacon should be crispy. This bacon was not. That's the only thing I would change. Onion and squash soups were great. Calamari was good. Maple pomegranate Brussels sprouts were amazing! Service was fantastic. They split every dish in the kitchen for me and my wife. Katya offered without us asking. And the kitchen staff were so courteous in doing that. I know that can be a pain in the butt. Everything still had great presentation and care coming out like that too! Amazing! What a gem in Bangor Maine

The place had great atmosphere and was alive. I was looking forward to it. I sat at the bar and…read moreordered soup, oysters and fish and chips for my main course. The fish and chips came first. I was a bit surprised. Then during the middle of that dish came the soup and oysters. There was little room at the bar but the server jammed all the plates in making for a stressful situation. I felt I had to jam everything thing down at once. I could not really enjoy it. I will give it another try.

We went for dinner because two people in our party were vegan and this menu had vegan options which we appreciate so much. I don't believe it's her fault as there is no kitchen in this establishment, but the food was bad. Some of it was not fit for consumption, and, to their credit, I was not charged for those items that were inedible. I suspect the food would be great if she had what she needed to do her job, because the menu was really interesting. It's a local place with nice local people and we always try to support those businesses when we visit a town. But you cannot cook meals using one hot plate and an air fryer, or store restaurant grade food in a college refrigerator for extended periods. Go for the beer, but don't eat the food until this team can upgrade to keep everyone safe.

We started with brussel sprouts, which were very tasty, just a bit salty. I usually get the salmon or halibut-I went for pan seared scallops. Excellent choice! I do not use a lot of salt at home, so again, a bit salty. My friends enjoyed the fish tacos and grilled shrimp. More fish on the tacos and a little less salt would have made this a five star review. Overall, still my favorite spot. The bar, the restaurant, the dragonfly decor -- nothing but love! Maybe I'll secure the old bank vault room when I graduate with my Master's degree in May 2025.

The fried rice cake that accompanied the fish was a tasty addition. The asparagus was nicely cooked. There is an upscale ambiance to the restaurant. If you fly in to go to the coast or mountains this would be a nice place to stop for dinner. It's nice without being fussy (though you will not experience fussy in Bangor anywhere).

There were two hosts to greet me upon arrival. The space can be a little tricky to find if you've never been before.. if facing restaurant from the street you need to go to the right of it in a little alley way like spot and door is on your left in that space. The ambiance is upbeat and medium loud. Medium to dim lit with 7 or so spots at the bar and then tables near window or in dining room. There are wine, beer, and cocktail options. I had a blackberry cocktail with egg white, blackberry compote and gin. It was very good. Not too sweet or sour and light and fresh. The customers varied from older couples to dad and their kid to people in their early to mid 30's.

When traveling for work, I try to get food that I would cook for myself at home and this was that kind of meal. The one "odd" thing was the insane amount of salt on their fries. They were fried perfectly, shoe string like, but I had to take my fingers and dust off the salt. I love salt! But they were WAY over done. Otherwise this is a nice spot. I will come back next time I'm in town.

(I have heard they offer concert parking if you eat there, but it just word of mouth so I would ask if that interests you.) We went for lunch, however, on a Monday and it was slow. There are a lot of TVs on the walls, more than I have ever seen in a sports bar. Even in the rest rooms! I can imagine how busy they are on game days there. We shared out appetizers: nachos with guacamole on the side, and naked chicken wings with dipping sauce. I don't think any of us would rave about the offerings, but it was fine for pub grub. It took a while to get the food, but we were chatting and didn't mind. The waitress was friendly and helpful. I wouldn't say it was a memorable experience, and as we live in Dexter we won't exactly be regulars there. There are so many other restaurants to try! But if someone has a reason to want to meet us there, I wouldn't complain. It is good for pub grub.
