Up until two years or so ago, this was one of our favorite places. Now, you get the impression that they have an desperate chef trying to justify the prices, and using maple syrup as his secret ingredient for nearly everything. Also, I completely disagree with the reviews complimenting the inside renovation - it completely killed the vibe. Now, all... More

Service was great- very slow night. All 4 entrees we had were great. The piano player was great and very friendly and accommodating- played extra song after his quitting time- we'll be back for more!!

A favorite of locals, cabin folks and visitors, Bar Harbor enjoys a fantastic location that combines great service and great food. We enjoyed the roll out of the "summer" menu last evening that included past favorites and some new choices. The dining area is a rich dark wood with window booths that easily seat 6 and comfortable tables for groups... More

Since the remodel a year or two ago and the new management this is now a great place! The food is great and the service (which was always excellent) is still fantastic. On my most recent visit I had the Nisswa salad. Yes, it's a play on words, but a great salad. My husband loved his clam chowder. They have... More

We have eaten here several times since they remodeled the restaurant. It is a lovely spot with good food and very attentive, friendly service. The menu has good variety and everything we have tried is good with ample portions. Attire is very casual so you can dock your boat and stop in for a drink and/or a meal or dress... More

This restaurant is lovely. We loved the Frank Sanatra music, roaring fire in the fire place and the beautiful woodwork. The food is good. I would recommend the steak bites. It was covered in snow, but the back patio looks like it will be a great place to be this summer.

The major renovation looks great and was well designed. very open bar and restaurant areas. cant't wait for next summer to take advantage of the outdoor patio area. Views of the water and dockside are excellent. like the live music on occasion. food was very good with the appetizers being our favorite.

Stopped in for lunch when visiting for the holidays. The decor and atmosphere is lovely. There isn't much to the lunch menu. I ordered the walleye sandwich...it was HUGE. It was good, but nothing spectacular. My husband ordered the burger on a pretzel roll, and he said it was good. We sat in a booth by the windows and enjoyed... More

Our party was excited to spend New Years at Bar Harbor, the remodel is classy, the food has always been wonderful. However, what an extreme disappointment! The food server struggled all night ignoring us, she couldn't get our drinks or salads. We had to flag down another waitress to get both the salads and food. The food surprisingly came out... More
