We are not huge wine people but when we go in for wine we get a little snobby; this place ticked our boxes. For a place that opened very recently the decor seems complete, is well thought out and tasteful. Whatever music they had on complemented the vibrations of the whole spot. Bartender was a bit overbearing but in a very polite way; in such a small place he must run out of things to do. Nice vibe, nice wine, & about a 3 minute walk from the water in Belfast.

It was so good that we ended visiting it twice during our stay. We tried Hunter pizza, Harvest pizza, asparagus and oysters.All of these were delicious. They have their own in house dip that comes with their pizzas which is amazing. The drinks were good too. It is a stunning location. Owners and staff are courteous and professional. It is a must-try if you are in Bar Harbor. Please note that they are only open between the hours of 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.

No. But it's a nice healthy option if you want to lay off the butter and lobster for an evening or just want more veggies in general. I personally wasn't a fan of the customer service. The waitress looked very annoyed with our questions and had to repeat one things to us about an entree. We felt like an inconvenience and when we wanted a side or water, it was very difficult to flag our waitress down. When asking another waitress-- they also appeared annoyed. Potatoes and veggie shareables: The best it can get. You can tell the chef really put his heart into these recipes. I should have just ordered more of this. Pizza: It looks great but lacked so much flavor. It fell apart so quickly, couldn't even hold. The crust was also overly burnt. The pepperoni is "local" but way too spicy for a typical pep. They need a sauce to help cool down the spice-- I'd say ranch-- but maybe the chef can come up with one better. It was one of the worst pizzas I've had. Cocktails: Tasty and refreshing. I wasn't drinking but went with Hop water. Adding a lemon to it helped brighten it up-- surprised that's not offered. A great one time experience!

It was the very best meal we have had here (and we have had a lot of wonderful meals). For our first courses, the tuna tartare was so fresh and paired perfectly with the homemade chips. My husband had the mussels and the broth was drinkable, it was so delicious. We both had the filet for our mains. They were perfectly cooked medium rare with craveworthy pave potatoes. We sat at the bar and Courtney was a wonderful host/server/bartender working the perfect balance of conversation and privacy.

It's got so much character, and the people running it are some of the nicest humans ever. I don't think I've ever left without a smile on my face, or without a bottle (or two) of something new and interesting. Their selection is incredible; not just wine, but also vermouths, Campari, and even pasta and bread?! Like, what don't they do? And the vibes??! Perfection. In the winter, it gives a mix of Scandinavia and Spain, and I'm so here for it. Oh, and they have a full wine bar with pours and bites. Just go... you'll thank me later.

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.

She also ran my credit card and added the tip herself, albeit only 15% I found that a bit odd as I probably would have tipped more. We both ordered a flight to find out one of each of our choices was not available. We both picked a cider instead - big mistake. Super sweet and medicine taste. The flight was poured out of cans, taps were not being used for some reason and some of our choices were poured out of cans sitting from the day before. We were the first customer of the day and got served day old beer for part of our flight, kinda gross. Glad we stopped in but I'd pass on this one.
