They knew all the locals and celebrated all of their customers with the bell they had behind the bar. The pub itself is very quaint and cute with moody lighting. The oysters were unbelievable and the house-made mignonette was delicious, we were literally dipping chips in it. The smoked trout dip was also very tasty. No complaints at all, we had the best time there. Highly recommend!!!

Absolutely delicious. We had the scallops and French dip grilled cheese. Both were outstanding.read more

Stopped in after a long bike ride in Acadia, it was exactly what our bodies were wanting! We got a…read moreflight of beer and their sour they had that was local was delish! Our waitress was so kind and helped out with someone who had a food allergy. We sat on the patio and it was nice and the road they are on isn't busy so it felt like we were tucked back a little! I would recommend! I got the sausage platter and they had pickled rhubarb and it was to die for!

We were seated quickly. The service was great and it only took about 10 minutes to get our food.read more

Great food and atmosphere…read more I had the crab roll. I know, it's Maine, don't judge. I love crab. The waitress offered it with the butter instead of mayo, and I happily said yes. It was delicious, as were the fries. J had the pub burger. It didn't come out "medium"....but she said it was a really good burger.

We happened to stop into the Black Friar pub for dinner on a whim, and the experience was…read moreabsolutely fantastic! The food far surpassed all of our reserved dinners at some of the 'best' restaurants in Bar Harbor. The staff was lovely and the atmosphere was truly unique. Definitely a must if you're in Bar Harbor!

My son and I came to this place based on a recommendation. Boy were we disappointed…read more The crab cakes were very ordinary with an awful sauce on top. The Lobster chimi which we were told were the best thing in town were bang average. Oysters too were tasteless. We paid up and went somewhere else !! Thanks for the feedback ! Of course, we didn't want to make a fuss, we just moved on. After the hype we were very disappointed ......

Wanted something a little different than spots that speacialize in lobster rolls, so we decided to…read morepop in here. There was a 30-45 min wait, which we were ok with. The service is very friendly. I wanted the Strawberry Fields cocktail, but they didn't have so I settled on The Fuzzy. It is very alcohol forward, which most people will enjoy. Not for me personally, as I would have liked more flavor from the infusions, but that's definitely a personal preference. The Blackened Fish Sandwich with a Small Caesar Salad had very flakey fish. I loved the meld of flavors, and ended up devouring my sandwich! The bun held together well. The caesar salad was a decent size and well dressed. Definitely a cool spot to hit for good food and a great pub vibe!

Little restaurant in a cellar…read more Lots of Irish decor, friendly service and decent burgers though they were limited in what they could offer from the bar aside the traditional Irish fare. I was also expecting more Irish plate options in the menu but anything that was not a burger was much pricier than usual and thus unappealing. The food wasn't bad, but the overall experience felt more of a miss among the many potential lunch options around.

Neat find! Located at valence rock in along shore path. Beautiful view over the grounds and to the…read moreocean! Sitting area by the bar was old world charm! Service was friendly and quick. Food was tasteful and full of flavor. Risotto was rich and creamy. The pork chop was well prepared but would have love a mashed potato. The bread service would have loved a flavored butter instead of ricotta. Scallop appetizer with Brussel spouts was great! Salad was super fresh.

We stayed in bar harbor for a few days and wanted to go somewhere nice. We found this place online…read moreand he had good reviews so we decided to give it a try. It is located in the Balance Rock Inn right on the Maine coast. Our server was very nice and was able to explain the dishes to us so that we could order the right amount of food. We ordered the crab fritter appetizer and it was really good. I had the scallops and my husband had the boar shank and not were very good. For dessert we had the pistachio semifreddo and again it was also very good. It's a quaint little place with a great view and the food and drinks were top notch. I don't think you can go wrong with anything you order and we will be back when we are in bar harbor again.

Truly a gem! I didn't expect to find this level of food in Bar Harbor since it's the town closest…read moreto a Acadia national park. I assumed it's a touristy town but they really hold it down at Project Social. Every single thing we ordered was exceptional. I'd recommend to try as many dishes as you can. We ordered fresh oysters, clam chowder, octopus, lobster crepe, butternut squash soup and open face Bahn mi sandwich. I'd say the sandwich was least liked because it was falling apart with every bite but flavor-wise everything was perfect. The service was also exceptional. Nushi was really helpful with choosing dishes and making sure we had everything we needed. 10/10!! Would come back in a heartbeat

I loved the butternut squash curry soup even though it was a hot day. The atmosphere was lovely, with a babbling brook throughout the outdoor seating area. I was a bit put off (subtracting a star) by being seated in the very back corner when we arrived with two young kids and there being a couple lawn games available in the front. Also there was only one small bathroom.
