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.

We came with a big group of nine, and despite the no-reservations policy, they handled everything flawlessly. We arrived early in the evening and were lucky enough to snag a beautiful table right next to the garden--such a dreamy setting. Our server was incredibly attentive and sweet, making us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. We basically ordered one of everything, and there wasn't a single miss. The brisket special was a standout, and the wood-fired pizza? Top notch. Fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. If you're anywhere near Bar Harbor, I HIGHLY recommend going out of your way to try this place. It's worth it--especially if you can sit outside and soak in the gorgeous patio and garden vibes. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

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.

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.
