One of the best dining experiences--worth going out of your way for Sweet Pea's Café absolutely blew us away. We came with a big group of nine, and despite the no-reservations policy, they handled everything flawlessly. We arrived early in the evening and were lucky enough to snag a beautiful table right next to the garden--such a dreamy setting. Our server was incredibly attentive and sweet, making us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. We basically ordered one of everything, and there wasn't a single miss. The brisket special was a standout, and the wood-fired pizza? Top notch. Fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. If you're anywhere near Bar Harbor, I HIGHLY recommend going out of your way to try this place. It's worth it--especially if you can sit outside and soak in the gorgeous patio and garden vibes. I'd go back in a heartbeat. read more

The pizza was good but not great. The service was terrible. My drink order arrived when we were half finished with our meal and only after I asked another waiter about it. The couple, who appeared to be the owners, were too busy chasing their kid around the restaurant to notice how poor things were running. read more

This farm-to-table spot has quickly become a must-visit every time I'm in the area. The setting, right next to Sweet Pea's Farm and Bar Harbor Cellars Winery, is gorgeous and relaxed. You can enjoy a drink by the fire pit and I love that I can bring my pup along on the patio. The menu changes with the seasons and the daily harvest, which keeps things fresh and exciting. Some of my favorites are the local oysters and their specialty pizzas. You really can't go wrong! Last time, I tried the lobster pizza and it was absolutely incredible. The veggies, sourced from nearby farms, are always outstanding too; I often go for the beet salad. Everything feels thoughtful, seasonal, and connected to the local food community. read more

I loved this place so much that we ate there twice while on vacation. Snag a seat outside; blankets are available on chilly nights. We sat inside on the second visit, which was nice, too. We had pizza both nights, as well as plancha potatoes and grilled veggies. This Real food is fresh and delightful! It's such a treat! The second night, we got the basque cheesecake, which was heavenly. The wine selection is also great! The menu changes and they have different specials and desserts each night. We tried Fiddle Heads for the first time-loved them! read more

My bf and I came here and were so impressed by everything. We've been wanting to have a farm to table style dinner on this trip and we're excited to try this place. Upon coming there was a 45 minute wait, but we didn't mind. The property is so beautiful, we were able to order a bottle of blueberry wine and hang out on the lawn near the pond. All of the staff were very friendly as well. When we were sat we ordered some apps- we got the vegetables, beets, and meatballs. All of the food was very fresh and delicious. We really loved the vegetables, it was what we were looking for on this trip. My bf and I shared the hunter pizza, it came with kale, mushrooms, bacon and it was served with a carrot and olive oil confite. We were blown away by the flavor and the space overall. Definitely come here if you're in the Bar Harbor area, solid spot! read more

What in the actual? This restaurant is more than a restaurant. It's an experience. Wait to eat outside after enjoying the garden. The food menu is not huge but it's delicious. Get the pizza, get the chickpeas but skip the beets. I can't stress how beautiful it is - truly a Maine experience. Our kids loved running around the green space. Summer memories made! read more

Was visiting bar harbor in October and I'm always on the look out for farm to table restaurant experiences.. I stumbled upon this magical place and was pleasantly surprised with one of the best dinners I've ever had. Their special was lobster grits and I ordered their seasonal veggies and warm spiked cider. Let me just say I'm a fast eater and I made sure to slow myself down to savor every bit. I was alone and brought a book to read. I'm normally nervous of going to dinner alone however, it seemed every worker made it their mission to make me feel at home and welcomed. Maybe they only hire sweet peas?? Please do yourself a favor and stop by. Oh also- went back to their coffee shop on property the morning and had great coffee and a delicious homemade blue berry muffin. (Sorry for the half eaten picture) I was too captivated by it to take a picture first. read more

Lovely restaurant attached to winery with the most charming ambiance. We had a party of 7 and were immediately seated for a late lunch (they open at 3pm) outside. There is very limited seating inside so keep that in mind if the weather isn't ideal. Pizzas were the main entree with some specials and a build your own option. My husband and I got The Ranger pizzas which was good and the beat salad special which was underwhelming. My blueberry spritz drink (local blueberry wine, brandy, soda water) was very refreshing! Our servers were prompt and friendly and the food came out quickly! I definitely recommend this restaurant for dinner if the weather is nice!! read more

This place should be on the list of top restaurants on the island. Though it would be hard to get a table. So for now, if you read this, consider yourself luck and go there if you are I to farm to table and a cute place to eat outside with nature yet ironically off the highway. Food was delicious and even tried a new vegetable. read more

The food was simply amazing. Not to mention the service. My husband said the oysters were fresh and tasty. I had a simple garden salad that was above and beyond with the pickled onions and flavorful vinaigrette. Then came the pizza. Freshly made crust, charred perfectly, thoughtful locally sourced ingredients that came together for perfection. Must try! read more

Root beer old fashioned. What a way to start. The pork loin special was tasty, especially the corn and tarragon coulis under potatoes and veg. The Basque cheesecake was sublime. This farm to table restaurant is a special place with atmosphere and great staff. What a way to Maine. Worth the trip. read more

The Fire Cooked Pizza Was Amazing. Our Server Was Very Polite. The Plowman Was The Perfect Spice. I'd 100% Recommend!

Wow. If searching for a good dinner in Bar Harbor, look no further!!! This was hands down the best meal I've had during my entire New England trip. Sweet Pea's was a lifechanging experience for my mom and I. From exploring the garden while enjoying our drinks (especially the Bea Bomb!!!), to our incredible meal, and the spectacular service from Ella, we were blown away! The pulled pork quinoa special and harvest pizza were to die for, along with the incredible tres leches strawberry shortcake, and from two foodies who were craving a healthy, nourishing meal in Maine, this was everything we could have asked for and more. read more

The food was pretty fine, but the restaurant itself was really nice. They had heaters and blankets for people sitting outside. The wait staff was nice. We liked the blueberry wine. Would recommend to others. read more

The Plowman pizza, fried chick peas, collar greens, plancha potatoes were uber delicious. This farm to table restaurant is so cute and dog friendly. I haven't had good pizza in the northeast yet and this is the closest to Philly Vetri's or NYC's. They told us about 40 minutes wait but ended up only 20 mins. They closed at 8pm but still take us in at 8:08 because there was a line since 7:30pm on a Weds night. Food came out hot and fast, very nice and friendly service. We haven't had a yummy dinner like this for a while, so fresh! Worth the hike and we'll be back next summer! read more

Loved the overall farm to table concept and the grounds are beautiful. Really glad a place like this opened up on MDI! Food wise, the highlights were the pizza (get the harvest with ricotta) and the blueberry lavender cobbler. The tofu special was a bit of a miss in my opinion - flavor was decent but it needed more salt and the rice was overcooked. Overall still highly recommend this restaurant when in the area, liked it a lot more than the places in downtown Bar Harbor read more

Awesome atmosphere, service and food! One of the best places to eat in the Bar Harbor area.

Loved the small menu. Every dish was carefully crafted and reminded me of a high end home cooked meal. We ate outside on the patio next to the garde, it is a must in the summer. The service was fast and their carrot pizza crust sauce is to die for. Would love to live right next to this place and eat there everyday. read more

Best meal on MDI!!! This is truly farm-to-table as you are seated next to their veg garden. We started off with a local beer and the best cocktail I've ever had - the Chilled and Charred. Unbelievably good. We split the fried chickpeas as an app (perfect size to share and they were yummy!) and I had the daily special pie (katapenade, mozzarella, tomatoes and basil) and my husband who doesn't like lobster much decided to try the lobster pie and said it was out of this world. Service was great, food was stellar, this was just a really excellent dining experience! read more

Food and ambience were 5/5 but service (morros wait time for food) left more to be desired! Not sure if someone didn't show up to work that night, but it was so busy and we were told our Plowman pizza was burnt / didn't arrive until 40 min after our other pizzas, but they took it off the bill which was nice. This was my favorite restaurant we visited in Bar Harbor. It was packed when we came for dinner on a weeknight (no reservations). We put our names down and waited for maybe 30 minutes before our table was ready (there's a window where you can order drinks and benches to sit). Loved that we were able to walk through the sunflower fields and take photos, but be warned, there were a lot of mosquitoes. The menu is small but mighty. They had some delicious specials too. We ordered: - Charred and Chilled cocktail? I forgot the name. (5/5) delicious and loved that they added salt on the rim - Maple Whiskey Sour? Also forgot the name. (5/5) very tasty and liked that they added rosemary from a live plant to the cocktail - Scalloped Potatoes (5/5) so good. This was a dinner special. - Meatballs (5/5) I would love to have a spaghetti or pasta dish with the sauce used in this appetizer. Please add that to the menu! - 1/2 dozen oysters (5/5) A good size! - Farm Salad (5/5) Really nice portion size. I liked the pepitas (pumpkin seeds) and dressing. - The Harvest pizza (5/5) Not a huge fan of roasted veggies on pizza usually, but wow this was good. - The Hunter pizza (4/5) This tasted a little plain but not bad! - The Ranger pizza (4/5) Not a fan of the cream sauce but not bad! - The Plowman pizza (5/5) Our favorite! We LOVED the hot sauce (that had ginger and carrot I think) and bread sauce (carrot purée and olive oil I think). I need that hot sauce recipe. I would totally come back. read more

Excellent food in a beautiful setting. Our family ate outside at a beautiful outdoor setting Sweet Pea's Cafe. We had delicious appetizers - roasted potatoes, raw oysters. Next we ate two wood fired pizzas, the Hunters with kale and bacon and mushroom, and the Harvest with carrots and squash and mushrooms. We drank tasty sour blueberry lemonade - delicious! But the most amazing part of dinner was eating outside by a pond and blueberry bushes and raspberry bushes overlooking the countryside. W wonderfully tranquil setting. read more

Wow - Amazing pizza , views and service. This was right near our campground and only regret was we didn't discover it earlier. The little complex also has a coffee shop and small winery also.

This was our favorite restaurant the entire trip! The ambiance was unbelievable. It felt like going to a family/friend's backyard cookout with the beautiful garden and fire pit. Everything we got including the Hunter pizza, the ranger pizza, the chickpeas, roasted vegetables, and potatoes were delicious and all made in the wood fired oven. The outside dining area is something out of a movie and they had blankets to hand out for the cold nights. The service was also amazing read more
