I love the name of this shop! The owners guessed the words to my secret mantra. I was happy to…read morelearn that a gourmet cheese store had recently arrived to this corner of Maine. Located around the corner from the main drag it's easy to find because of the eye catching chalkboard signs we saw on the sidewalk which point the way for you. There was an initial big disappointment here which turned out to be the first thing you are confronted with at the entrance and that is the metal spiral staircase that one must climb in order to enter. There is no other way in that I could see. Never mind how treacherous this could be on an icy winter day, the real tragedy here is that this means access is barred to those with certain disabilities, anyone in a wheelchair, a parent with a stroller, a frail elder and others that may have trouble navigating such a wretched means of entry. Once safely inside the space it's small but quite inviting and pleasantly decorated. The bounty is contained in one large glass-fronted refrigerated case and it's delightfully packed with cheeses from places near and far. The friendly man working there who I believe was the owner, told us to just let him know whatever it was we wanted to sample. Say no more! Already displayed were a few plates of already cut up cheese samples from which I took a number of nibbles. I love when shops do this although for hygiene sake I would have loved some toothpicks to spear the cheese rather than have everyone use fingers. I decided on the cutely named Ewephoria which is a sheep's milk cheese (get it?) from Holland. It's a hard cheese that was nutty and buttery. We loved it, so I'll be on the look out for it again. There were some artisinal salamis for sale as well that intrigued my husband. From trips to Tuscany where boar is king, he has become especially fond of this kind of meat. He bought some of the smoked boar sausage that he said was delicious. The shop also sells a small but decent selection of wines and some gourmet crackers. We wished they sold some fresh crusty baguettes which would have made this one stop shopping for the perfect picnic fare. There is nothing about what they are selling and how they are selling it inside the shop that I have any trouble with. It's great. What I hope is that the owners who have come up with a great idea for this town, will figure out a way to address the need for access to all. And from the owner's point of view, they should be thinking about all the customers who they are missing because they can't get in. I don't know how the appropriate changes can be done at this exact location unless there was a secret elevator or entrance I missed. But if not, there have got to be other available storefronts somewhere in Belfast in which to set up shop. Hello, calling Belfast realtors... This is dedicated to Michele R. whose reviews always take accessibility into consideration and from whom I've learned much about this issue.

Love the fact that you climb down a flight of stairs to enter, makes the experience a bit like a speakeasy! We were a group of four and I was the cider novice so Chris selected a flight for me to start with. He is extremely knowledgeable and this way I got to taste all different kinds. We also ordered several different bottles, be sure to try High Ridge Farm Cider! When I travel I want to try the best the area has to offer and High Ridge can only be purchased here or on the farm. Winner! We all shared an assortment of small plates, my favorite was the radish dish with lamb. Just ask for some bread since the sauce is delicious!

As soon as you walk in, Satori has a very welcoming, friendly, comfortable, and relaxing vibe! For our visit, the owner personally greeted us and spent some time talking with us about his place. A great sign of owner/operator buy in! Satori is in a great location on the main strip in Belfast Maine. Easy parking access and walking distance from town dock if you come by boat! The cocktail menu is insane! I'd come here just to enjoy a premium craft cocktail at the bar! We enjoyed a variety of sushi, sashimi, tempura and amazing Japanese style bbq pork belly. Everything was delicious and to the standards and expectation of a fine Sushi restaurant in a big city! Recommended and we will return!

My "Riverwalk" salad, that SHOULD have had candied nuts, craisins, goat cheese... NOPE none of it. I DID get lettuce, raw mushrooms and my fish (which was my protein).

Not to mention I walked in, stood at the reception desk, 3 wait staff walked by and finally a nice young man who was new, and had never taken a take out order before tried to help me before passing me off to the other two young ladies who couldn't get my order right. I had SUCH high hopes after our last couple of experiences but this was such a miss. And if we hadn't then driven 20 minutes to our hotel, yes, I would have gone back. That dinner was NOT worth $66+ tip. Buyer beware.

We were turned away because we did not have a reservation, despite seeing that many tables were empty throughout the restaurant. As we looked around, numerous guests were already seated and being served food, which made the situation even more confusing. What made the experience worse was the way it was handled. The staff member we spoke with was rude and dismissive, making us feel unwelcome rather than valued as potential customers. We completely understand that restaurants can have policies regarding reservations, especially on busy holidays, but there is a respectful and professional way to communicate that to guests. We were looking forward to celebrating Father's Day together, and instead we left feeling frustrated and disappointed. The poor customer service left a bad taste in our mouths and unfortunately overshadowed what should have been a special family occasion.
