WOW!!!! My husband and I dined there for our anniversary and it was perfect from the beginning to end. I didn't want it to end! From the very sweet valet gentleman to the host, our amazing server Hudson. The drinks were delicious, the food melted in my mouth. I highly recommend this place!! The atmosphere was so wonderful to celebrate this special day with my husband. Thank you all

This is probably one of the best meals we've had. We travel extensively. My wife and I did not have a lot of expectations for Bangor Maine but this place certainly showed us... Lol I ordered the filet and my wife had the scallops and mushroom risotto. I have never had a filet cooked to perfection like this one. Normally, when I order a steak medium, the outside edge is always medium well or even well done. This one was cooked edged edge, medium. Our server told us that the chef uses a sous vide method for the preparation...just so dang good! I didn't want seasonal vegetable so I asked what could be substituted. Hudson gave me a list, but I noticed that there was a creamed kale on another dish and asked if I could substitute that as well. He said it was no problem. Again, probably one of the tastiest side dishes I've ever had. My wife said the scallop and mushroom risotto was the best she'd ever tasted. So full of flavor and the scallops were seared just the way she likes them! The cocktails were also extremely tasty and well balanced. I even asked the bartender Olivia, if she could make something special for me and she went out of her way to do it! Hudson, our server was beyond charming and professional. I definitely five star recommend this little restaurant in Bangor, Maine.

They had a surf n turf special the other day. Insanely good. Pricey so we only go for our anniversary, but it always feels like a special occasion.

First time guests...why did we wait so long? Everything was fabulous: beautiful building, attentive staff, prompt service and delicioius food, all set to a playlist of the perfect dinner music. We will go back and bring friends!

Such an amazing story about this history rich social club turned restaurant...including the prohibition era liquor lockers upstairs. The calamari was really unique with pickled onions and greek olives; scallops with corn-risotto was off the charts. If you're in Bangor, go! If your near Bangor, make a trip over!

My husband and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary there on Friday evening, October 3. It would be downright unkind of us to keep our experience to ourselves! Simply put: we had one of the best, most wonderful, most superlative, most delightful experiences of our entire marriage. And it was all due to the simplicity of skill, welcome, beauty, grace and spirit of those who touched our experience: Maizie S., Makayla H. , Amanda F., Hudson B. and Zander P.
Let me take a few minutes and share. :)
Our server was Maizie S. Maizie shined with a gentle radiance. She knew her stuff and she guided with the deft hand of one who has no other goal except to leave her diners happier than they were when they arrived. Perhaps Maizie should be advising global leaders. We’d do quite well if she did.
But she was not the first person we met. It was Amanda F. who greeted us and other diners at the door. Amanda’s ways made me comfortable immediately and she followed up with her comfort-bringing ways throughout our evening. If ever you have occasion to hear her voice, listen for the sounds of harmony. Really. :)
Meanwhile, Zander P., without knowing we had already been greeted so warmly by Amanda also greeted us. He demonstrated how one can be quietly elegant. Zander’s smile could guide ships in the night. His work ethic, like Maizie’s diplomacy, could guide world leaders.
Then I had my martini. Martini’s are ubiquitous but good martini’s are elite. Makayla H. made our drinks. Our drinks were elite. I watched her and learned. The thing is, I, too, am a bartender and server. And now I’m a better bartender and server. The balance of spirits to water was deft. The twist added noticable fragrance and carried each sip past sharp into smooth. Makayla also sent us a complimentary beverage that she created. I was smiling so hard I never asked what it was! It was in a cordial glass and topped with whipped cream. The mouth-feel was silken; the drink itself had a casual tang that interacted with the cream as if they were one. And Makayla’s countenance was a bridge into joy.
We were so fortunate because we also met Hudson B.—statuesque, wearing white, helping others. He was quite angelic but like the biblical Angels who are also warriors. In my mind, I believe he understands how to be gentle with power, yet fiercely dedicated to excellent. He was a service warrior if ever there was one.
That night all three floors were open for exploration. We have to come back because we were so enchanted with our meal, we never left to go explore!
If you read all of this, then I thank you. Our experience was worth this effort.

Cocktails didn't disappoint and the burrata appetizer was delicious and just right to share between two people. The food was delicious and pleased they did not have a problem with substitutions. I had the halibut which was cooked to perfection—but it was paired with fennel as a vegetable and whipped potatoes and was able to substitute with pea and roasted zucchini medley and risotto and both of the substitutions paired perfectly with the nice portion of fish. Kay was our lovely waitress and she was wonderful and just the right amount of attentive. If I find myself back in Bangor Maine I would most certainly make a point to visit The Terratine again.

This is my family’s favorite restaurant. We go frequently and bring our toddler and baby and everyone is so gracious and kind. The service is always impeccable. The food is divine. The atmosphere is romantic and we always leave feeling refreshed and grateful to have a lovely spot like this in Bangor.

We had our first visit last night, and couldn’t have been happier or more impressed. Everything from the young man who offered their free concierge service for parking, to the same young man who gave me directions to the washroom at the end of our dinner - it’s a class act, from start to finish. We loved the delicious cocktails and the fantastic dinners, and everything was wonderful.
My husband and I enjoyed a delightful dinner! The setting is romantic and elegant, service great and food sublime. Highly recommend The Tarrantine.

Professional and warm environment right from the start. The food and drinks were fantastic. I got one of their signature cocktails as well as the charcuterie board; Both fresh and hit the spot. The bartender, Jillyan, was incredibly kind and I did not feel rushed or forgotten the entire time. Had a wonderful evening at the Tarratine - thank you!
