I'm taking Frites or Garlic mash... but not Mac n cheese... I left the kids at home for a reason. Venison, Pheasant, Cod, all good... though again, high for this area. And 14 dollars for a rum and coke... okay, I guess, my bad for ordering alcohol... my sister used to sneak alcohol into the plane and then download it into her soft drink... I feel like that's where we are in culture now. But I'm just ranting... I mean, no salad, no apps, just our two main courses and drinks.... $170 w tip. Too much for the working class... sorry.

We were standing near the bar, and one of the bartenders invited us to sit and moved chairs around for us. Service was excellent and very friendly. We had the roasted tomato burrata sandwich and flatbread. Each were great. This is such a cool place, there is a vinyl store within the restaurant, but it was closed when we there. There also was an area they sell guitars, all so random, but fit so well together. A very cool, comfy place to enjoy drinks, food and music.

The historic building has a tin roof and a wooden bar that eeks history. Our waitress was so welcoming and made us feel right at home. I enjoyed the roasted tomato burrata baguette sandwich and it was toasted and tasty. Several of my dining partners also had the same sandwich. Another had the Warm Roasted Root Vegetable Salad that she said was wonderful. We finished the meal with generous portions of carrot cake topped with delicious cream cheese frosting. There is a store inside the Black Moon (that happened to be closed on a Saturday night). In the corner they sell vinyl records and CDs and there is also a selection of guitars. There was also a musician playing live music near the front of the pub that really added to the atmosphere. It was a truly great find right on Main Street in Ellsworth.

Conscious Cafe is absolutely divine. They were a highlight meal on our recent vacation to the…read moreAcadia National Park area. Conscious Cafe is a small, tucked away neighborhood cafe inside a yoga studio. Their manu is carefully curated to nourish and replenish you body and soul. I really can't say enough about our experience here. We stopped by for an early lunch. I ordered the sweet potato soup as well as a coffee beverage. I typically don't like flavored beverages made with anything but espresso. Theirs are made with coffee and are outstanding. Zero complaints on the coffee. Their food is made fresh to order so takes a little while as when I was there, it was a bit of a one man show. The soup came came with crispy shallots and a drizzle of balsamic reduction. It was ginger kissed and one of the best sweet potato soups I have ever had. It was served with a side of crusty sourdough with the lightest smidge of ghee. It paired perfectly with the soup. The dining area is warm and comfortable with the kitchen easily viewable. You order at the counter and then the chef will bring you your meal. It's not a quick meal, but I promise you it will be worth the wait. Get to it!

Also, there's a beautiful outdoor seating area that we really enjoyed. Definitely coming back!

It comes as regular eggs Benedict but with regular bacon and hash on muffins alongside home fried potatoes! It was delicious, and I absolutely mean that in every definition of the word. I put a bit of Cholulu hot sauce, sslt/pepper to taste and the kid in me needed ketchup for the home fries. I drank OJ but at the bar they serve drinks so if ya want a Bloody or a Mimosa, they have it! Server was nice, but I didn't get her name. Prices were fair or maybe modest for the quality of food! Come enjoy! Roadside parking on Main St or lots of parking behind Finn's across the street. Big parking lot, lots of space and I was in a Jeep pulling a trailer! Have a great dining experience!

Turns out it was a vanilla cream pie w/ cinnamon graham cracker crust and it was excellent! The restaurant seemed to be hosting a small gathering for firefighters and other first responders tonight. It's the type of place where all people say hello to you and make you feel comfortable. And I got all this from a takeout order! A throwback to the good old days.
