The inside was cozy and rustic with a clear fisherman's vibe. My wife and I ate here for our 15th wedding anniversary while on vacation in Acadia. We started with the fisherman's chowder, which is probably the best chowder I've ever had. It wasn't too salty (which is almost unheard of) and came with tons of lobster and other seafood. We both devoured it. The only problem was trying to make sure that you didn't burn your mouth because it was so good you didn't want to wait to eat it. I got the tuna and green bean casserole while my wife got the pasta bolognese. Both were good, but the tuna really stood out. It was seared, sushi-grade, blackened tuna over chopped green beans that weren't in any way over-cooked with a small pea-shoot salad. The name didn't do the dish any justice. We also had a few decent local beers in cans, which both paired well and were yummy.

Location - Great thing about their location is there are plenty of places to kill time while waiting for your table - local shops or Waterville Creates. We were there on a Saturday and we arrived around 2:30 for an late lunch/early dinner. To our surprise, there was a 25 minute wait! It's a popular family restaurant as well. It's a lot bigger inside than it seems from the outside. When you walk in, there are mostly high tables and a long bar with seating. Walk past the bar and on the right is a dining area with a lot more tables. We had 2 kids and 4 adults and we had plenty of room at a center table. There were booths along the wall. Our server was so great. So patient, and kind. She was great. She checked in regularly, our drinks never went dry. The food was excellent. We had the food for take out during the pandemic and thought it was ok. Having it in the restaurant - HUGE difference. I got the cheese curd burger without the top bun. My nephew loved his chicken wings, my niece loved her mac and cheese. We all loved our burgers and my bro-in-law liked his reuben. I loved the fries, they seemed more the "chips" from the UK - which I loved. Parking - street or on the concourse below Main Street. We will definitely be back.

So first off; the view! Great view of a bay off the ocean. (If some guy with a big Jeep didn't park…read moreright in the way! That's me! ) After the view, come warm up to a cocktail with Jeff. I adore bourbon and "old fashions" to be specific. They have a great KnobCreek9 Old Fashioned. I highly suggest it but top end is their forte' so your imagination is your only holes barred. They are an open fire pizza joint but the apps are also amazing! Sometimes they have events like New Years and they had downstairs open for overflow (my first impression as upstairs was being renovated at the time). I loved it and their barkeeps are all characters and special. These folks are handcrafted with excellence. My friend Jeff!!! Cool guy - The pizza! I picked the mushroom pizza. It has great presentation and some niceties alongside. I'm gonna work my way through the menu. Come join Me! Blue Hill, Maine! Getting down in the Wintuh! !!! Magic Mushrooms is amazing, go try it!

Expensive meal, poor execution, and all four of us experienced stomach distress afterward…read more We visited Blaze Brewing in Blue Hill on December 13 for a birthday and left deeply disappointed. Service lacked attention to detail, especially given how quiet the restaurant was. Glasses arrived spotty, flatware mismatched, and a $14 glass of wine smelled strongly of chlorine. No plates were offered for a shared appetizer, and there was no salt and pepper on the table--we had to ask for both. The food did not justify the price. The Caesar salad was far from authentic--soggy, overdressed, and heavy on vinegar. The steak had a significant amount of gristle, and the mushroom/beef gravy had the taste and texture of a commercial product rather than something house-made. Fries were overdone and served in a very small portion. Most concerning, all four of us experienced stomach discomfort and digestive distress within a short time after the meal. For what we paid, we expected much better. This visit was a major disappointment.

We got in later our first night, so a pizza was perfect for our first night. The pizza was solid (a high compliment coming from a Chicagoan) and gave us good leftovers for another meal. The selection of dry goods was also great, despite having more limited options. We stocked up on snacks (including some local brands). We actually went back for more snacks and another pizza toward the end of our trip! I also recommend their deli sandwiches. I had an egg salad with avocado on a sub roll that tasted just as good as the ones from Pret a Manger. They don't have online ordering, but the staff is very friendly and attentive on the phone. It feels like a good community spot, and I felt very welcome as an out-of-towner. Highly recommend!

Menu was limited but had promise. We ordered soup, pizza, quesadillas and a rice bowl. Crab bisque was tasty. Nachos were Tostitos chips and salsa with some half melted cheese. Rice bowl was mostly rice and no flavor. Quesadillas were similarly bland. Overall, don't come for the food, get a variety of beers via a flight and enjoy the view! As a note: bathrooms were two porta potties and there was a foot pump hand washing station. Hoping it was a temporary situation but seemed rather permanent.

The ribs were overcooked and then they added the dry rub seasoning as an outer thought. Flavors were not developed and disappointing. But when you're hungry and don't feel like cooking around a camp fire, it did the trick. Also noticed a lot of tables waiting for their food, so service is defiantly slow at getting the food out. Depending on your level of needing to eat and location, I would recommend another restaurant.
