The food: my omelette was well prepared & had good, fresh ingredients, and was just over room temperature. My "food service" home fries were ice cold, as were those of my wife. They removed mine from the bill, but not hers. We could hear the conversation in the kitchen about our cold home fries & I feel one should never hear excuses placing ANY blame on the customer. Like I started, I honestly wanted to like this place, but being our second visit in 23yrs, and no better than our first visit 15yrs ago, I'm not chancing it again.

She gave us some great wine recommendations and checked in throughout the night without ever being overbearing. Cocktails were on point too -- Sue and Brad clearly have it dialed in. I had the seared ahi tuna, and it was honestly one of the best I've ever had. Our friends had the Tuscan chicken special over rice, the ribs, and the steak. Everything was excellent. Bridgton is lucky to have a place like Black Horse Tavern. They've been doing this for decades, and it shows -- great food, great drinks, great service, and people who know how to run a restaurant. We had a great night and will definitely be back.

Prior to coming to coming to the black horse tavern I was warned of the possibility of slow…read moreservice. When seated I had no problem that I wasn't seen until 5 minutes passed, or that I was not handed a drink menu until I asked for one. What I do have a problem with however is being treated differently to other patrons for no apparent reason. Visiting this town as a person of Latino descent has been a joy so far but at the Black Horse Tavern I finally understood why I was warned about coming to Bridgton. After the hostess sat us down, we waited about 5 minutes to see hour waitress, as she approached our table she immediately asked if we wanted drinks or appetizers, my boyfriend asked for a drink menu which seemed to bother her. After receiving the drink menu we waited another 5 minutes to then be met with another waitress because our original one passed us off to someone else who ended up taking our drink and entree orders. The original waitress did eventually return with our said beverages she slammed them down in front of my boyfriend and I. The only reason I know the waitress's name is Shannon is because I heard her greet another table and because it was on my receipt. We carried on and made the best of our situation as we enjoyed what we could of our dinner but even as she returned with the bill, she slammed it in front of my boyfriend yet again and continued having pleasant conversations with another group of people. As we left we didn't even get a "thanks for coming" or a "goodnight" as we left the restaurant.

They have outdoor tables if you're traveling with a dog - the place is right across from Reny's Department Store and is easy to spot with its bright yellow color.

We devoured the chicken lumpia (spring rolls), the pancit bihon (Filipino noodles), and the Filipino curry dish (which was delicious). The yakitori skewers were also tasty for lunch. Overall, we would visit this place again! It was just a delightful surprise in Bridgton, ME. Who knew that you could find awesome Filipino food in the Lakes region of Maine?

Unfortunately, though most of our food was delicious (best buffalo chicken sandwich I have ever…read morehad!), we came in just after a storm and the restaurant's internet had been out. This caused some frustration among staff, and perhaps the few other patrons. One table next to us had two very unruly children and one teenager who was like us, quiet and polite and simply trying to get through the experience. Had it been any of the four of us adults we'd have taken our food to go to get those kids out of there. Sadly, management didn't suggest they leave. We nearly had one of our three children melt down because she's sensitive to those situations. As I said, six of our seven meals were good, but it was Father's Day and the one dad in our group didn't care for mustard BBQ. We paid for it and got a different style to take home, but that ended up being a disappointment too (too much garlic to suit his taste). Again, our server did the best she could given the circumstances, but we were only in town for a few days and can't commit to trying them again.
