It's been a long minute since I've written a YELP review, but I feel that places like this that…read moredon't get a lot of online reviews deserve a little effort when then deliver. I tend to lower my expectations a little bit when I find myself in smaller towns in rural areas, and this spot did a nice job exceeding them. My first time at the Black Pearl and I'll call it a fantastic addition to Rangeley, great space that felt well lit and comfy in a cold late winter night. Sat at the bar and had a really tasty blue cheese burger with an upgrade to risotto. Highlight of the night was the St. Paddy's special Guinness espresso martini. I had no plans for 3 of anything like this, but I had 3! Service was fantastic taboot!

This review has nothing to do with our server, who was fabulous. She was excellent and attentive…read more The fish tacos were good, as well as the fries. More sauce on the fish would have been a 10/10. The blueberry margarita was great as well. the wings were okay, a little too overcooked and i would've liked to see some homemade ranch. The chicken parm was absolutely terrible unfortunately. Flavorless, the chicken was too thick, pasta was stale, and it was freezing cold. I haven't sent back a dish in over 5+ years and unfortunately I had to send the chicken parm back it was inedible. the vibe of the restaurant was not great as well. We overheard other tables talking about how poor their food was. for example "freezing cold chowder" "my burger is cold" "i could cook better at home" "i'm not paying for this". it definitely added a negative vibe to the experience. This place needs WORK and needs it asap. The wait times were okay, but the kitchen has a lot of work to do. I hope the new owners step it up, we love rangeley and come yearly, but for this place to survive they need passion and some blood sweat and tears to get this place up to par compared to the other restaurants.

Some new food recently include the orange cauliflower (incredible), the veal jager schnitzel (the best entree I've had in a long time) and the potato chip haddock (so fun and creative). They also always have dishes that are super consistent and always delicious. The Brussels spouts are some of the best I've ever had, the rack of lamb is always good, the donut is incredible, and the red Thai curry is always super flavorful. The service has always been top notch. Heidi, Anya, and the team are so friendly, kind, and caring. They are great people who bring so much to the restaurant! Couldn't have a better team! The restaurant is cozy, in a former house, and has lots of charm. It's great!

Good enough atmosphere. It's not Bailiwicks, but good enough... Their bar area is super lively, I like it a lot. We both *don't* love the one and only, unisex bathroom that is always out of hand soap and not always super clean (according to Boyfriend who had to lift the seat.......). They need to keep an eye on that... Waitress was ok. A very loud talker. Food was amazing! I had both their "specials" - the fiddle heads appetizer and the Lamb chops... which were also served with fiddle heads, and a delicious risotto (I didn't realize the lamb was also served with fiddle heads, if I had, I would have tried a different appetizer - but that's my fault because I'm sure she must have mentioned it). Everything was amazing. Lamb was so tender and perfectly flavored. Boyfriend had the hanger steak and duck fat fries and loved it too. Says it's some of the best fries he's had! I'm not much of a dessert person but I like trying stuff at restaurants where I know it will be homemade. I had some whipped cream and butterscotch dessert and it was great - couldn't finish as I was full, but no regrets. We will be back! I love that their menu changes seasonally, it keeps things very interesting.

Wow. Come on in and take a gander at their EXTENSIVE and…read morehilariously worded cocktail menu. There is so much! The bar is STACKED full of everything you could want, and all the fancies to go inside and on top. Artistic and magnificent! Tonight we had wonderful live music by a band called Trio Con Brio, and they were playing a Grateful Dead song when we were heading out. It was very busy. Lots of delicious little plates of food coming over from next door at the Liberal Cup. My chocolate martini, called the "I NEED CHOCOLATE NOW" was strrrooonggggg. But omg so tasty! Yum. I'm not a regular drinker at all, but I was the first one to finish my drink. Oops. They asked if I wanted a second one. I probably wouldn't have been able to find the front door if I did. Haha. The atmosphere in here is so sweet, pine boughs, ambient lighting, floating candles (think Hogwarts!), exposed beams. Lovely. Very sweet.

My wife and I didn't know what to expect. The menu looked small but interesting and we were told…read morethat this is the place to eat in Littleton so we made a reservation for the lower dining room. It is a nice-sized dining room with comfortable tables, benches, and chairs. On our next visit, we will sit in the upper dining room or at the bar located at the upper dining room for no other reason than personal preference. The bar is not super large but very old school, dark and comfortable. Our server was excellent. He did a great job walking us through the menu, the day's specials, and all of the various drinks that they offered. We began with drinks. The Cosmopolitan that I had was a slightly different formulation with a float of Prosecco which was amazing. My wife had a gin-based drink with rosemary that was also excellent. We began with appetizers including crispy broccoli with Gorgonzola and buffalo sauce and a green tomato topped with a stuffed ravioli with cheese and a wonderful sauce. They were fantastic. My wife had mushroom ravioli and I had the special rib eye steak with fresh green beans and an amazing sauce. The steak was perfectly prepared and the beans had excellent snap and color. We split a dessert and settled on the Olive Oil cake with ice cream. The cake was moist and super flavorful. The price was not crazy considering what we received. We will eat here again on our next visit.

Brew the Coop Newish…read more(ca. 2019) Brewpub located in the heart of Downtown Rangeley that's located in a historic (ca. 1912) tavern. Not only do they sport their own brews, but they have a killer brick pizza oven to boot. The Good: *Huge outdoor space but oddly they don't have any coverings, like umbrellas, to keep you out of the sun. *Great views of the lake and people watching. *Service was friendly and pleasant (see below) *Nice selection of their own brews and other micro and macro brews on-tap, as well as fermented grapes, as well as a full bar. *Tater Kegs were delicious and a very unique item; if cheese and ham stuffed tater tots doesn't get you torqued up, then it's time to turn in your foodie card. *Bison burger was excellent and cooked perfectly medium. The concomitant brioche bun and bacon jam really sealed the deal, as well. The fries were pretty bomb, too. The Meh: *"No Pet Policy" is kinda wild, but kinda ubiquitous here in Rangeley. Which, to tell the truth, is sorta strange because it's usually rich people who like to schlep their dogs around and what do rich people like to do? Ski, boat, and fish--three things synonymous with Rangeley. Interesting, eh? *Interior isn't as big as it looks from the outside, but is still fairly ample. *They seemed overwhelmed on our visit and very short-staffed, as the food took a looooong time to come out. Fortunately, we were in vacation mode--and I had a beer in-hand--so it was all good on our end, but if you're looking for a quick meal, this might not be it. The Ugly: *The fact that they actually have to have a "Bee Policy" (see pic) is crazy. If I have to explain it to you, then you're part of the problem. *Their "website" (aka The Facebooks) is kinda funny place to be posting people with their dead deer carcasses. 0_o Conclusion: A couple of iffy deals here, but the food was fantastic--and that's what matters.
