Bar Harbor - Reviews

My experience was incredibly frustrating. I arrived for lunch on a Saturday afternoon, only to find the restaurant closed for a private event. It was aggravating to see closed signs with no one outside, especially since neither Google nor the restaurant's website had been updated with this information. I believe it's important to be loyal to your customers, as they are the ones who keep the business running year-round. The reviewer's comments to the owners suggest that it is possible to set special hours on Google and to link social media on the website for better communication regarding closures.

My experience at the restaurant was very positive. The food was really good, and the service was prompt and friendly. The restaurant has a nice open concept. My Connecticut style crab roll, though it looked small, was packed with a ton of buttery crab. The coleslaw was crunchy and delicately dressed. Although my initial draft beer order was unavailable, the server quickly offered a nice alternative, making the situation easy to handle. We'll definitely be back.

My experience at this restaurant was concerning due to a hygiene issue. I observed our waitress handling chips directly from a plastic bag with bare hands. This experience has led me to decide that I would definitely not go back.

My group and I visited this restaurant and ordered the chicken skewers, hot pretzels, Mac and cheese, lobster roll, and the crab patty sandwich. Overall, the service was great, and the area was nice. However, the food was just okay. In my opinion, it was also a bit expensive for the portion sizes.

As someone from Maine, I initially expected the typical thick, pastey, and inauthentic 'chowdah' often found in the PNW. However, my experience at this restaurant was a pleasant surprise. The meal and the people made me feel like I was back home. Strangers approached me and shared their stories, and it turned out we lived only about 20 minutes apart. In a time when genuine connection seems rare, and during a period of personal soul-searching, this little, great place provided unexpected support. I also highly recommend the soft pretzels paired with a bowl of chowder; it's a winning combination that transports me 3, 000 miles away.

This was a decent enough place, but about 30 minutes after sitting down, I was promptly asked to leave with half my drink left due to a staff meeting or some other nonsense. Normally, I would brush it off, but then I couldn’t use the restroom because it requires a code, which I couldn’t get since I was no longer a customer. This experience was incredibly frustrating.

My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The atmosphere was not ideal, as it's a loud place with uncomfortable seating. For food, we tried the clam chowder, which was quite disappointing. I wouldn't even call it chowder; it was a small bowl of runny soup with very few ingredients, and it cost $16. However, the pretzels were pretty good, and the accompanying 2 dips were also enjoyable.

My experience at the restaurant was very positive. I had the crab roll and the crab melt, and both were absolutely delicious. They also offer some good drinks. The food was rated a 5 out of 5, and the service was a perfect 5 out of 5. The atmosphere was also enjoyable, rated at 4 out of 5. There was plenty of parking available in a paid parking garage.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the amazing lobster/crab rolls, which were truly exceptional. The great cocktails were also a highlight. The huge picnic tables were perfect for my large party of a dozen, making it a comfortable and enjoyable experience for everyone. The atmosphere was rated a 5, service a 5, and food a 5, with a quiet noise level that made conversation easy.

I went to this restaurant with my family for dinner last night and had a wonderful experience. The waiter was super friendly! We enjoyed the pretzels, mac n cheese, and chicken, which were all so good. It's a really nice restaurant, and the surrounding stores are great too. It's a super amazing place to go for dinner or lunch!
