“Wow if you haven’t been here recently, it sure has improved by a mile from where it was when they opened in Spring ‘23. Great French fries, I like mine extra crispy. I’ve had a very solid burger and falafel wrap from this spot. The chef takes good care and the front desk is attentive. Place is clean and the shelves are stocked. What more could you ask for? Maybe an ATM.

Vegetarian options: Good falafel!“

The food and the selection here is of excellent quality, with a consciously sourced selection of local dishes while having reasonable prices. There is a window with a scenic view of the Atlantic. Anybody staying at the Atlantic Oceanside Hotel must come here to have a wonderful meal.

Parking: Located in a hotel in the rural town of Bar Harbor, so there must be plenty of free parking!“

“We hosted our wedding welcome party at Project Social in October & we could not have been more pleased with Cody & his team. Not only were the appetizers, cocktails and private garden area fantastic, Cody was a pleasure to work with from the very start. He was incredibly accommodating to our needs, and helped our vision for a tapas style welcome come to life. The food was incredible (lamb meatballs, beef skewers, a fantastic 12 foot charcuterie board) and the staff was so attentive and helpful. Personal touches like games, blankets, and the fires kept our guests (including children) happy and entertained. Thank you to the Project Social team for an incredible evening that we will always remember as a special part of our memorable weekend!“
