Pizza
Darius M.

Nice pizza and Caesar salad for lunch, great view, comfortable and relaxing. Solidly good, not exceptional.

Cocktail menu

Knowing this was attached to a hotel, we expected an adequate experience but nothing special. But - our fabulous server & delicious meal made this one of the best dinners of our trip. Started with a fresh & delicious Wild Blueberry Martini, and split the amazing ricotta on toast app - they brought us extra toast as there was more ricotta dip than we could slather on the toast provided. Our wonderful & knowledgeable server helped me customize the bucatini dinner to make it veggie by swapping out chicken for mushrooms & the pesto for an amazing cream sauce. I loved that they offer a half portion - just perfect when traveling & you can't take your leftovers home.

Stuffed French toast

Stuffed French toast was good! Hubs had eggs toast and sausage that was good. The potato things are awesome! They gave us a crap table with a bad view right on top of 2 other tables with an empty restaurant... like I get seating a section but I don't like people THAT much at breakfast. Especially with screaming kids. Service was ok otherwise.

Excellent for breakfast and the view is incredible. Had the avocado toast and smoothie bowl. Great service as well.

Best breakfast in Barharbor. We went to other places the day before waited for 45 mins and had a medium to dined quality food. This place is excellent and food is of great quality. Highly suggest this place

Paper airplane and pinot gris.

Stopped in here 2x while attending a weekend wedding. First time sat at the bar, which was excellent and Ray-Ray the bartender was super friendly and made great drinks. Next morning had breakfast. Not the best and quite expensive. There are lots of other spots in Bar Harbor - so I'd skip the bfast. Bartender gets 5 stars, bfast 3.

The staff went out of their way to be welcoming and attentive, and that kind of experience honestly stands out more than the meal sometimes. You leave remembering the people more than the food.

We requested to sit by the window to have my birthday lunch and loved watching the sun set over the water. This is in a prime spot right by the wharf and has a gorgeous view of the water by the windows, but has a great bar and more seating in the back. Menu is huge with sandwiches, fish, pizzas, salads, etc. We went with the warmed brown butter lobster roll and a margarita pizza add sausage. My husband is a pizza guy - has it like 5x a week - so he's picky. He loved this pizza and said it was really top tier. I also thought it was very good - crust and toppings all great and cooked well. Sometimes margarita pizzas are runny due to less cheese/sauce ratio but this one was good and crust was yummy. The lobster roll was a different way to have it - I usually have it in the mayonnaise sauce chilled, this one was warmed up with brown butter on a delicious bun. Very good. They have 3 different lobster rolls on the menu to satisfy whatever the craving/need. For desset - we chose the chocolate death parfait. It was SO good. Not something I would usually get bc it was so heavy - but we were in town for my birthday so, treat yo self! Layers of chocolate cake, dense white marscapone cream and chocolate mousse with caramel and toffee chunks. Yeah, sign me up for that. Don't forget to visit their gift shop directly underneath and off to the side - it's huge! It actually has far more than the standard cup and t-shirt or hat. Expect loads of gifts and souvenirs and some awesome t-shirts. We got more than a few things in this surprise shop. 100% recommend this place.

Wow! What an amazing meal in Bar Harbor! We stopped in for happy hour to just grab a cocktail (and…read moreoysters for me) and decided to come back for dinner! Felt like an old steakhouse inside with dark wood paneling. Intimate and quiet. Sat at The high tops by the bar and had incredible And attentive service from Ron, the bartender there. He makes amazing drinks! Highly recommend the Beehive!

We had a wedge salad to start which was served a bit differently with their house-made vinaigrette. My husband chose the lobster enchiladas with rice and veggies and a cilantro cream sauce. These were VERY good and I was jealous. I loved them. I chose the fish of the day which was haddock with rice and veggies and a pesto sauce that was SO good! Very fresh and filling. Large filet of fish on this plate. For dessert, I wanted to try the Indian Pudding a la mode and our server informed me that it was very rich and was somewhat like pumpkin pie, ginger cookies and bread pudding. It was something different, but VERY potent and a bit much for us. We swapped it out for the blueberry apple crumble and were much happier with that. All in all, a wonderful dinner on a rainy night for my birthday. We'd happily come back to this spot for a date night while in town.

This might have been the best meal we had on our trip to Maine!…read more A lot of restaurants weren't open yet but we came across this one. We were originally only going to order some small plates , but the one entree with fried chicken looked like something my husband would really like. Cocktails were great. Our server Eli was very friendly and helpful , he answered my questions. The lobster bisque was delicious, and I liked that it had a tempura lobster garnish and the caviar in it was a nice touch too. The tempura wasn't as crispy as I would have liked it , I think only the end part was, but still very good soup. We also got some oysters which were great with the sauces on the side. I ended up getting the halibut, which I never get at a restaurant- but it was so good! With the wakame butter, bok choy, pork belly, and sticky rice. All the flavors worked so well together! Husband got the Cantonese chicken- which was delicious as well. Very crispy, flavorful. We were so stuffed afterwards otherwise we would have got dessert. We ended up taking some Togo even though we had to drive for hours the next day. We put it in a cooler and ate some for lunch cold and it was still good. We had a great meal- i definitely recommended it.

Good food and service. We sat on the work and it was cute but the inside has a really cool vibe and…read morecutesy decor. Olive oil cake was the star!
