It was the very best meal we have had here (and we have had a lot of wonderful meals). For our first courses, the tuna tartare was so fresh and paired perfectly with the homemade chips. My husband had the mussels and the broth was drinkable, it was so delicious. We both had the filet for our mains. They were perfectly cooked medium rare with craveworthy pave potatoes. We sat at the bar and Courtney was a wonderful host/server/bartender working the perfect balance of conversation and privacy.

There are three floors available with the top floor being rooftop seating. Seating in the roof could consist of regular tables or couch-like seating around fire pits. Overall service was good and generally attentive. The wait for food was what you would expect for a made-to-order establishment. The food itself was tasty, consisting of fresh ingredients. If I were to visit the area again, I would certainly plan to dine here again.

Even the water jugs were empty well before we had someone coming over to our table. We were even offered free desserts for the long wait, but we declined just to get out of there.

It was busy and my friends were already seated and happily enjoying their favorite libations. The menu has lots of pizza, sandwich, salad, and even calzone options. A couple of us had (Morningstar) veggie burgers, another two had sandwiches, and one person ordered a calzone. The veggie burger was good, the fries were amazing, and the calzone was larger than expected, beautifully baked, and oozed delicious-looking cheese when cut. It must have been good as well as the lucky person who ordered it ate the entire thing!! We even had a fantastic waitress who checked in on us regularly and made sure we were happy every step of the way. I am a believer - Mad Kat's is five stars all the way!

It was blaring and our little one had to leave to the parking lot. The manager did apologize but we had to take our food to go, now 80 minutes into the visit. The karaoke staff was obnoxious, they even turned the music up after we complained and our son was crying. Don't sit little ones next to the speakers and crank them with no warning. There was nothing done to reduce the bill or compensate, the manager said selling drinks was a priority to balance with family comfort. The sad part is we loved mad kat. This was supposed to be a special night. Instead it was the first meal I've gone for in Maine where I didn't leave a tip in ten years. Oh well, I can see why you guys folded last time while I eat my stale sidewinders at home.

It is located by the airport, outside of a Quality Inn. Normally that would mean "Meh" for service and quality, but it didn't on the Sunday afternoon I went. I walked in and was thrilled to hear Selena playing overhead, a great start. The waitress was attentive and cute. I got birria and it was so moist and flavorful! It tasted like the Mexican food I had in Taxco, so it was just fantastic. My companion had the chicken with spinach enchiladas and they rocked it. So good! For 35 dollars for two people, it was a bargain. Oh nom nom nom!

We started with spanakopita, which is baked and made of layers of phyllo dough, spinach, fresh herbs, ricotta cheese, and feta cheese. For dinner I had the mushroom pasta, which incorporated fresh pappardelle with locally sourced mushrooms. It was in a cream sauce, but the sauce was subtle and didn't overwhelm the dish. I also got the meatballs, which were so flavorful and delicious. My wife had the comfort bowl, which was breaded chicken over Maine mashed potatoes. But what took this over the top was the pear/apple compote and fried leeks. The owner spent some time with us talking about the dishes, the locally sourced ingredients (some from her garden) and Bangor. It was a nice night and a restaurant that I'd return to if I was back in Bangor.

The male server we had was very pleasant and on top of everything. Overall, the food was fabulous. Everything we had was vegan. To start we had the polenta fries which were good but needed salt and there was no salt at the table so that was a minus. I had the gnocchi with tofu, it was a generous portion with a nice presentation and the flavor came out beautifully once I got some salt on it. I really savored every bite of this meal. The side piece of bread was not served with any olive oil or vegan butter so that was a little disappointing. My partner had the vegan bean burger and he liked the flavor but it was very messy for him and he had a bit of trouble eating it neatly which made him not love his as much as I loved my plate. The fresh cut fries on the side of his plate were nice. To drink we both had a couple of utopia daiquiris, they were delicious and strong. Top notch. I took home the baklava (made with agave, not honey) and honestly it was the best I've ever had. It had a very nice salted caramel profile to it so I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great options for vegans on a date or just a nice comfortable meal for any occasion.
