    Scallop appetizer
    Carmen N.

    Mixed experience. The food overall was good -- the entrees were well prepared and flavorful. However, the scallop appetizer was a disappointment. It had a slight ammonia smell, which is never a good sign with seafood and something you'd expect a restaurant of this caliber to catch before it reaches the table. The bigger issue was the pacing of the meal. We waited an unusually long time for our appetizers to arrive, and then faced another long wait before our entrees came out. The timing made experience feel drawn out and frustrating. To be fair, our server Debbie was working the entire floor solo and was doing her absolute best under the circumstances. She was attentive and kind -- this was clearly a staffing issue, not a service attitude issue. With proper kitchen-to-table pacing and adequate staffing, this could easily be a 5-star experience. We came with high expectations based on the restaurant's reputation and those hard-to-get reservations. The potential is clearly there -- we just hope management addresses the staffing and quality control issues so future guests get the full experience this place is capable of delivering.

    Dinner in Bar Harbor tonight absolutely delivered. The French onion soup was next level. Rich, deeply flavored, perfectly melted cheese, and one of those dishes you keep thinking about after you leave. The fries and salad were both surprisingly spectacular too, not just filler on the plate. Everything we had was excellent, from the tacos to the seared tuna and scallops, but what really elevated the experience was the service. Our waiter was entertaining, friendly, and genuinely made the night fun. The kind of person who adds to the atmosphere instead of just taking your order.

    "Sit down for a tasty meal or order your food to go" is the line that greets you on their website. "We don't do takeout" is what the staff will tell you when you walk in and ask to order takeout. I showed the woman the resturant website, thinking I had walked into the wrong place "Yes, that's us!", okay cool I love to be lied to my face :)

    We discovered Dinner on our last night in Bar Harbor and had a truly outstanding meal. Made us wish that we had discovered them (or their sister restaurant 'Lunch') sooner. We ordered the Curry Baked Haddock, the White Bean and Coconut, and the carrot cake for dessert. Every dish was truly incredible. As others have said, we've eaten at a lot of great restaurants in our lives and this meal stands out. Our server, Debbie, was also terrific. FYI, they are open year round!! :)

    Scallops and chicken

    Came here for a dinner with my husband. We made a reservation in advance, it's a small place and was full. They had almost no spots available. So if you want to go there, definitely will need a reservation. We had a salad to share, scallops, mushroom crostini, and chicken for main. All food was fresh and tasty. We also had some wine. They have a decent wine selection. Overall place is very nice and inviting. Service was friendly. Definitely a nice dinner place to visit.

    We went here during the tourism offseason and we were just so happy to find something open after an 8 hour drive to Bar Harbor. And wow did this place amaze us. Our food was absolutely delectable and the cozy vibes made everything even better.

    French soup very good

    Amazing dinner! We're so happy to pick this place! Debbie was so nice. They were out of skirt steak but they had New York strip instead. Which was amazing! Mussels were amazing and interesting in a coconut curry sauce. The tiramisu had some cinnamon and caramel drizzle was interesting and still good! Overall wonderful dinner! We didn't get to try their sister company Lunch but would have gone if we had more time.

    Service was very long and food was ok. The steak was under seasoned. Our appetizer which was the ahi tuna was over done.

    Big day of activities in Maine. A big seafood dinner was in order. The Chat Room was a perfect…read morespot. It is right by the water and has outdoor seating. We were seated pretty quick. The drink order was taken first as the family looked over the food menu further. Lots of blueberry themed drinks to fit the Maine theme. I had the Grapefruit & Rosemary Spritz. I liked it, it was a tad too bitter for me. Grapefruit and lime juice together will do that. My brother had the Alfredo dish. He is not a fan of seafood in the slightest. His portion was HUGE. It was a dish that could have been split, instead he had leftovers for a different day. My parents stuck to their goal of having as much Maine Lobster as they could. The lazy lobster option is always appreciated by vacation goers. I went with the halibut. I really like halibut and this was my favorite halibut filet I've had. The carrots were also bigger than most carrots I have had in my life. The fries were an awesome complementary side. I ate everything on my plate and enjoyed every second of the food coma I was in the rest of the night. Our waitress was attentive to our dietary needs. She was very passionate and informative about the seafood offerings. The halibut I had was from the Maine waters, which is a rarer due to the limited time US fishermen can get halibut. Glad I got some! If you have the opportunity to have the halibut, go for it! Awesome spot. I appreciate the gluten free options and the mocktails. The mocktail was the least favorite part of my meal. Hood but more bitter than I anticipated. Overall, amazing. Food, ambience and service. All of it!

We got seated & there were still 2 window tables available. When we asked a gentleman if we could move to one of those, he said 'I have to ask'... the rude man came back and said 'no, that's reserved'. Ok. Just tell us nicely! Tables both remained empty for the hour duration of our meal. One table did have people come in towards the end- to be fair. But the other one didn't. Just can't stand people treating others like less than. Our server was super sweet.

Now if you are in search of seafood and/or lobster during a visit to Bar Harbor you could throw a stone in any direction and find numerous options. Some family recommended checking out this spot. Both my wife and I started out with a blueberry margarita that was fantastic. Then for food we both decided on the lobster tacos which comes with an order of two. They did not skimp on the lobster at all and this spot created such a tasty taco I would return for them. Granted the appetizer of a lobster poutine sounded delicious too! The ambiance and overall vibes is good, outside they have many picnic tables to enjoy the sights/sounds of Bar Harbor. Inside they have a couple different areas but a welcoming atmosphere overall. Despite the heat and the fact Bar Harbor is busy during the summer, service was quick as well as friendly. Had no complaints for our visit! Great first visit here!

We did get food to go, but our hotel was just steps away. So not a long journey from the restaurant to our room. We ordered the lobster nachos. It was not edible and they were so expensive. I was looking forward to getting some lobster, but didn't want a lobster roll and thought this would do it. First of all-- everything was mush. Not even soggy, but like all mush and disintegrated. I can deal with soggy-- it's take out so I don't have high expectations for fresh food. But the chips literally dissolved. There was also no cheese? I don't understand how you can have nachos with no cheese. Also, was advertised with sour cream and there was no sour cream. Lastly, I had lobster earlier today at a different restaurant. It tasted so fresh. This lobster was different. Almost like it was bad or even like a little gamey. I didn't eat but that one piece because I'm afraid I might get food poisoning-- something was just off. I'm not very hard to please and will eat pretty much anything from anywhere. The fact that I wouldn't eat the food (especially after paying $32) says a lot. I literally told my husband I would've rather had McDonald's Giving 2 stars only bc the guy on the phone who took our order was super nice.

The service is very friendly. I wanted the Strawberry Fields cocktail, but they didn't have so I settled on The Fuzzy. It is very alcohol forward, which most people will enjoy. Not for me personally, as I would have liked more flavor from the infusions, but that's definitely a personal preference. The Blackened Fish Sandwich with a Small Caesar Salad had very flakey fish. I loved the meld of flavors, and ended up devouring my sandwich! The bun held together well. The caesar salad was a decent size and well dressed.
