Yesterday my daughter and I were excited to take my husband to Blaze as we had such a great experience previously. We had our lab/Pyranese mix Tucker Lee with us. Sam, the bartender greeted us and she proceeded to take our orders/make us drinks. We enjoyed our meal and enjoyed the music next door. Tucker Lee Sat at our feet watching his surroundings and waiting for some treats from us. He let out a little bark 3 times. They were quick minor barks looking to go make friends and he quickly settled back down. No one was near us and no one in the surrounding tables even flinched as we were in a dog friendly town/bar or so we thought. Sam decided she no longer wanted us there. With my drink still half full she told us she was going to get our bill together as she was uncomfortable and that we should not have a reactive dog in public. She then went on to tell us she works with animals. This same dog that apparently made her uncomfortable with a quick minor bark was greeted at other restaurants in Maine with open arms, a bowl of water and lots of petting. He was also greeted in Bar Harbor along the walkways and trails by many people wanting to pet and interact with him. The guy with the parrots had Tucker Lee interact with them. It is her loss and now Blaze's loss. I hope she enjoyed the generous tip I left to ensure the others were compensated as it will sadly be the last time we visit Blaze or recommend it. Great food and drinks is one thing but friendly and decent service is an absolute must. You cannot insult your customers especially their beloved pets. Also if you are going to be a dog friendly bar be sure your bartender greets all dogs with water, a treat maybe and an acknowledgement. Tucker Lee got none of those. Only a judgement on his size. Big dogs deserve love too!

Asked if the fried brussel sprouts had any meat or dairy. Was told no. Then learned they are fried in duck fat. Server and bartender could not say if any beers has lactose or not. And said they would not/could not find out

Great food and atmosphere!

Bar Harbor is not the easiest for vegan food but this pizza was fantastic! Just ask for the soy cheese:) Lots of seating, friendly staff and good drinks. Brought the dog too! (Our smart server mentioned lots of the food, fries and brussel
sprouts are done in duck fat) - big heads up.

We ordered the charcoal-grilled lobster, which is one of the few dishes available here. While it was flavorful, part of the lobster head seemed undercooked. At $55 per lobster, the price is on the higher side even for this area, which feels a bit unreasonable. That said, the service was very warm and attentive, which we truly appreciated.

This restaurant in Bar Harbor is amazing! We had a great server! The pizza was really good and they had good salads! I did not like the Italian dressing, but the rest of the salad was delicious!

We sat outside when there was a band at the hotel that's right nearby. It was a nice outdoor seating area. The food was really good, however it was awful expensive. We had no complaints about service or food taste/portions, though.

Great food, great excellent service, nice ambiance. Highly recommend over some of the higher rated pizza shops in Bar Harbor.

We all hade pizza, all were really good. Took a while though, and we were placed in a back room without atmosphere.

Good pizza and salad. Definitely worth going to at least once if in the area. Recommend getting the Hawaiian pizza!
They raved about how great their hamburgers were because they were made out of Wagyu beef. They were dry and weren’t very appetizing. Also, since the waiter didn’t want to write down any of our orders, there was things that were missing from my order that we never received granite we never got charged for him but stillthere’s a lot of other places in Harbor to eat and this is not one of them.

Bar Harbor Blonds and Grilled Lobstah! Oh yes! It is a bit pricey, but the portions are generous and shareable (Beet salad, pizza, etc….shareable family style).
Travis Cowing
