Trying samples before ordering was a smart move. It saved me from picking something I wouldn&#39;t like.

Sat upstairs, the view was lovely. The post-and-beam construction gives it a nice, authentic Maine feel. A solid spot for a relaxed dinner.

First time trying their chicken Caesar wrap on a spinach tortilla. It&#39;s so good, definitely my new go-to! The wrap was fresh and not soggy at all, perfect for a quick lunch with a friend. The menu has so many other sandwiches I want to try next time.

Service was on point. Our waitress checked in just enough, never left us waiting for a refill, and had a really nice, easygoing vibe. Made the whole dinner feel relaxed and taken care of.

Met the owner who lives right next door. He was so friendly, you could feel how much he cares about the place. That little interaction just made the whole evening.

Cozy family-owned Italian spot. The complimentary bread with olive oil was a nice start. I had the osso buco, which was rich and tender. Their house red was a solid pairing, really brought out the flavors. A bit on the pricier side, but the wine list makes it worth it.

The mushroom pizza is a solid veggie choice. I really appreciate the fresh, earthy flavor of the mushrooms. The crust from the wood oven has a nice crisp. The lively vibe is fun, though it got a bit loud for me.

The staff is so friendly and helpful, even when there&#39;s a line. They made ordering feel easy and quick. I grabbed my ice cream and found a nice bench outside to enjoy it.

The fish and chips were spot on&mdash;crispy batter, flaky cod. The clam chowder was thick and creamy, just right. A reliable choice when you want a no-fuss, satisfying meal.

The chicken bacon ranch wrap was a solid choice. Decent portion, pretty tasty. Nice to have a non-seafood option around here. Service was a bit slow, but it was fine.

Stephanie the bartender is super friendly. The blueberry pie is as good as they say, warm with vanilla ice cream.

Managed to get a table without a reservation on a busy night, which was a relief. The service was pretty efficient despite the crowd. Food was decent, though the pasta came out a bit lukewarm.

Stopped in during the ice festival&mdash;it was packed! My fish and chips were so good though, the batter was light and crispy. Service was still quick and nice despite the rush.

The haddock sandwich and parmesan garlic fries were so good! Perfect for a casual dinner with friends. The owner even came by to say hi.

The Reverend sandwich is the move. The bread is crusty and soft, the roast beef is juicy, and the giardiniera cuts through the richness perfectly. Their cannoli is solid too, but you have to get there before they run out.

The pasta portions are huge, especially the carbonara. I couldn&#39;t finish mine. For the price, you&#39;re definitely getting your money&#39;s worth. It&#39;s a solid choice when you&#39;re really hungry.

First time trying their crab cakes. So much real crab in there, you can see the chunks. Got that nice sear on the outside, still tender inside. A bit pricey for two, but honestly worth it for that quality.

Great location right in Bar Harbor. The rooftop seating was a nice spot on a sunny day. Burger was cooked right, onion rings were solid.

Been coming here for years, and the Billy Bean Martini is still the move. That hint of something savory with the gin just works every time. It&rsquo;s my go-to when I walk in.
