    Great drinks and friendly service!! Will was our bartender and served up some awesome cocktails. We didn't try any food, but can definitely recommend for some drinks.

    Patatas Brava
    Claudio N.

    Intimate, cozy little restaurant located inside an old house very well updated. Had tapas for a late dinner. Started w a Tempranillo red wine, kale & Brussels salad, butternut squash soup delicious homemade taste, scallops (not pictured) & patatas brava w the typical white & orange suave tops. Service was quick & accurate, attentive. Parking is challenging but clears up on this pretty downtown location. I rate 4.5 stars

    Whiskey sour

    Came here to get some drinks at the bar. Great service, friendly bartender. We ordered some Chardonnay and two whiskey sour and it was really good. Bar looks really nice, indoors lighting was dimmed in the evening so this would be perfect for single person dining or couples. The low lighting gives it a little touch of private dining. The indoor decoration is nice. Their menu looks amazing. I did not order food but want to try their banh mi sandwich next time!

    Fast, delicious food in a beautiful outdoor setting in Bar Harbor. All three of the vegetarian dishes we tried were outstanding, with deep and complex flavors that felt warming on a fall evening. The spice on the mayo in the potatoes and the curry in the butternut squash soup are examples of how common dishes are elevated. There are plenty of heaters on the patio to keep folks warm on a colder fall evening. Our server was so friendly and gave us genuine advice on things to do around Maine and checked in with us at just the right intervals. I would definitely recommend this place after a hard day of hiking in the park. The only hiccup was that it took almost 15 minutes for us to be acknowledged when we first arrived at the restaurant... though many servers walked by, not one stopped for a second to say "sorry, the host just stepped away." This bordered on rude, which is unusual given how awesome the rest of the service was. Hopefully just a bit of training if the staff will resolve this issue to make waiting feel less awkward.

    Lots of outdoor seating (beyond a porch, not sure there was indoor seating). The yard was beautiful with blankets and heaters to keep you warm and comfortable. No reservations and we were seated immediately near a lovely pond. Service was attentive and the staff worked together well bringing and clearing plates quickly. For two of us, we had 5 plates, bruschetta, Caesar salad, crab cakes, potatoes, and beef skewers. They all were excellent! The potatoes were popular and I saw them being delivered to several tables. I loved the crab cakes, beef skewers, and potatoes. I probably would have skipped the Caesar salad and would have gotten the prosciutto bruschetta instead of the regular bruschetta. Everything was great tasting, but those were my favs. It was one of our most expensive meals in the area. Something to think about if that is important. We loved the variety and ability to share so many dishes.

    The ambiance and service get a high rating... the kitchen timing and drink timing is where we had issues. We hopped in here on a Friday with no wait time and were seated outside, under cover, and under a heater. We were given blankets because it's Maine in October, so that was a nice perk. Our waitress quickly greeted us and took our drink order - just wine for us. After a few minutes, we placed our order. They have a nutritional spreadsheet for dietary needs, so our friend was able to review it and make her selection. At this time, we still didn't have our drinks, and she went to check on this. Our starters and my curry butternut squash arrived, and THEN the wine came. I assume the bar was just understaffed. Our main courses took a while, but two were brought to the table. Thankfully, our third guest insisted we start eating as our food was warm, but her simple broccoli and kale salad took another 10 minutes. I was done with my meal (the scallops) before she got hers. There didn't seem to be any urgency to it and no real acknowledgement of it. The food was all quite delicious and all the employees were very friendly and welcoming. Maybe it was just an off night, but the kitchen and bar timing need to be evaluated.

    Crab cakes

    Tapa style restaurant with mostly outdoor (heated) seating. Crab cakes were amazing and all the dishes we tried were good. Server was very attentive and helpful. We enjoyed it but as is typical with tapa style re, it does get expensive.

    Absolutely incredible restaurant experience. Everything we are was wonderful. Worth every penny; you can tell where the ingredients and work comes into play here.

    Bruschetta

    Great food and wonderful service. Our waitress was so nice. The location is perfect and outdoor seating was so nice.

    Very nice place in Bar Harbor with plenty of vegan options. The soup was really really good. The ambiance was eclectic, the staff was really nice and accommodating. I'd definitely go back here, the only reason I took off a star is because the place where we were seated also had a young family and the child was crying the whole time, loudly too- which made us leave early.

    The setting was so cute and eclectic. It's like you are in an antiques fair and the little brook in the middle is just makes you feel like you found this little hidden gem. The drinks were great but the food was outstanding!! All small plates so you really got to try a variety of things. We wanted to go back during our stay but we just didn't get a chance. I would highly recommend. Every dish we had was outstanding but our favorites were the kale brussels salad, the prosciutto toast and the scallops. They were really crave worthy good!!!

    Come for the patio, stay for the food. The outdoor seating is so magical. It's a beautiful zen garden with a river and good spacing between the tables to make it feel pretty private or romantic. The food was also unique and delicious. We tried several dishes and there wasn't a bad one in the bunch. I was wearing a sleeping baby otherwise I would have taken many more photos or this beautiful food and patio. Staff were very friendly and food came quick. Pretty family friendly and they did have high chairs available.

    Reviewed the menu and decided this is where I wanted to come after a long day hiking in the park…read moreand starving after skipping lunch. This spot is cozy and quaint and full of friendly local staff members. It was Kentucky Derby day and a lot of folks we were watching it as we walked in, ambiance was jovial and loud. Greeted immediately by the hostess and bartender and waited a short while for a table to open up. I ordered the chicken sandwich and my husband ordered the Reuben. He is Jewish and loves Reubens, gets them all the time. He said this one was really, really good. Great texture to the meat. Now, my Chicken Sandwich - was the best I've ever had in my life. I told my husband, I will be holding any and all future chicken sandwiches up to this one as the benchmark. The breaded chicken breast was huge and delicious quality white meat. It was dipped in buffalo sauce, and had fresh slaw, pickles, tomato and blue cheese sauce. It was DECADENT and it really hit the spot for me after a long day. I could not stop eating it. YUMMMM. Oh, we also ordered the pub fries - loaded with aioli and cheese and greens. Fries were delish but a bit too much aioli for our taste. Still, wonderful! Huge portion. Overall, food was yummy, out quickly, service was great and we loved the vibes. Easily a fav for us on this trip and we'll be looking forward to coming back again some day!

    The food is outstanding, the service was great the atmosphere is fun. A VERY Irish pub. Great…read morevaried menu. Our waiter was outstanding and very pleasant. He pointed out "all the sauces are in house made."and the tartar sauce is the best I have tasted. He also, when taking our order, pointed out Ladies first, which I impressed with, not many restaurants make a point of that anymore. 5 stars, highly recommend
