It has been a year since I have dined at this establishment, though I must say, from all the…read moreeateries in Saint Andrews, this is by far my favourite place to chow down. The patatas bravas are always excellent, same is to be said of the tuna tartar or ceviche, whichever they have on the menu. I don't think I have ever eaten a plate that I did not like. I have my favourites, as one does, but everything that I have tried truly amuses my bouche. Servers are always punctual. I have never felt I have waited long for any plate or drink. The wine selection is above satisfactory, and they shake up a mean cocktail for those who prefer luscious tastes of liquor. They have a good selection of beer, if memory serves me correctly, but wine is much better suited for the food they serve. The whole restaurant is very nice. It was once a house that was converted to its current form. If you are lucky enough to be seated at the outside table with the fireplace, you are definitely in the best seats in the house. The view on the patio is stunning, as you gaze into the Passamaqoddy Bay. It is not always possible to get a reservation there, as it is rightfully seen as the pearl of the oyster that is the Saint Andrews food scene.

They knew all the locals and celebrated all of their customers with the bell they had behind the bar. The pub itself is very quaint and cute with moody lighting. The oysters were unbelievable and the house-made mignonette was delicious, we were literally dipping chips in it. The smoked trout dip was also very tasty. No complaints at all, we had the best time there. Highly recommend!!!

The inside of the restaurant is very comfortable, upscale, and just play nice.

The drink of the week - motionless autumn (?) was interesting in that it was smoked on the bar. We had creton en ploye (in pancake/crepe), seared broccoli, oysters, chicken roulade and cod toast. The favourites - the creton and the cod toast. We enjoyed every bite - I could have eaten seconds of everything if I'd had room. The only downside was the longer than expected wait for our mains - approximately 30 minutes.

The Chicken Waffle Poutine with Sriracha mayo, and maple syrup was amazing. The Chicken Waffle Benedict with Home Fries was also very very good. The Chicken Fajita Salad was again a large portion of tender chicken with a delicious Ranch Dressing. The on-tap beer list is longer than your arm!! Great place to check out.

Overall I'm not willing to return. Find a new cook.

I loved the butternut squash curry soup even though it was a hot day. The atmosphere was lovely, with a babbling brook throughout the outdoor seating area.

Also there was only one small bathroom.

It is located in the Balance Rock Inn right on the Maine coast. Our server was very nice and was able to explain the dishes to us so that we could order the right amount of food. We ordered the crab fritter appetizer and it was really good. I had the scallops and my husband had the boar shank and not were very good. For dessert we had the pistachio semifreddo and again it was also very good. It's a quaint little place with a great view and the food and drinks were top notch. I don't think you can go wrong with anything you order and we will be back when we are in bar harbor again.
