Based on Trip Advisor and recommendation from our Innkeeper, my wife and I had dinner last night. Everything was perfect! Our waiter, Kasey, was very courteous and attentive. He made excellent wine and food suggestions. My wife had the filet of sole and I had monk fish. Both superb. Would definitely recommend.

A really interesting menu with loads of choice. We were with friends and chose a shared appetiser with fish balls ( quite good but a bit over- cooked), delicious cod in tempura with a chilli/coconut vinegar dipping sauce and liver pate. Entrees chosen were bouillabaisse, halibut with peppercorn and Pernod and a mixture of scallop and squid in miso broth. All the dishes were excellent, well prepared and enjoyable. The staff were very helpful and friendly even though the restaurant was really busy. Ambience good too - pricey but what else is not to like?

We were recommended the Burning Tree by a number of people. Reading reviews on TA I was looking forward to a special farm to table meal in an intimate setting.

The setting is nice - a converted home giving the place a warm feel. The staff are terrific and the service was lovely. We started with a basket of assorted bread which were really good. The butter was particularly yummy. The special appetizer a flatbread with arugula sounded good. It was average and the arugula was overdressed so it was wilted.

The menu selection sounded amazing. Very creative flavor combinations but the execution was average. Desserts were a highlight. I am not sure if this place is riding on reputation or we made poor menu selections but I thought the place was overrated.

The Burning Tree Restaurant came highly recommended by the staff at our Inn. We were not disappointed. Service and food were both terrific. Very eclectic menu. Comfortable setting. If you like gourmet and you are in Bar Harbor you must go to this restaurant.
