“This place is a MUST! Over the week we have been in Bar Harbor we have ate at A LOT of places, Tap & Barrel is hands the best meal I’ve had here by a long shot.

“I my opinion, this is the best restaurant in Bar Harbor. The lobster bisque is exceptional! You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Was here 3 years ago and back again yesterday! Perfect Maine!“

“Amazing place. Kitchen is open until 11pm which is a blessing! The staff is super chill and the food is amazing! The pulled pork sandwich is fire and so is the burger. Definitely check it out when you’re in town!“

“Upon arrival the place is packed two seats just open up near the entrance. We got the skinny on how to order the oysters. We get one dozen then two meaty briny goodness. Washed it down with two different styles of blueberry 🫐 beers. Meal hit the spot !“

“Acadia perk makes coffee drinks with plant milks (lots of choices). They have a small shop, so getting drinks to go is probably the best option. I also got the blueberry lavender latte with oat milk and my sister got a chai latte. Both were delicious and hit the spot after some disappointing coffee with breakfast this morning.“

“Real Ale is the best Red I think I have ever had. Left with a case!! Smashburger is amazing! Staff was so welcoming, we sat at the Bar, I dont know the bartenders name , from Mass i think but she was the best! All in, We loved it.“

“The vegan options for dinner elsewhere on the island looked pretty uninspiring, so I went here and have no regrets. Had the broccolini and mapo tofu. The mapo tofu was a bit atypical, but delicious, and the greens were also good. Great for takeout, and I'm glad some of the revenue goes back to the community.

“Every meal I've tried there has been amazing! I've had their butter chicken, palak paneer, korma. VERY tasty!“

“The best pub food on the entire Eastern Seaboard! 💚“

“I come to the island every autumn. There are countless places to dine. I've been to many, but I've got to the point where Paddys is my go to place for dinner. The staff is excellent. The environment is great. The food is fine. I've never had a bad experience.“

“Day one. Lobster roll, clam chowder and a great cup of coffee. Everything freshly made and delicious. Came back everyday, for a week to try the morning sweets. The shop has very good quality retail items, presented without clutter. A lovely place where we will return to again. From Oregon.“

“Wonderful reception and service, fabulous food - all of it. The Lobster Sandwiches on fresh baked homemade bread, the Clam Chowder, and the Coleslaw were a great reintroduction to this place. I was last here probably almost 22 years ago, and we're both so happy that God made us turn into the parking lot on our trip further north. Thanks for a great dining experience.“

“Best haddock sandwich in Bar Harbor! All the food is so fresh. Love the patio seating area. It’s been great having them open all year round. 10/10 recommend“

“Wonderful food, stunning views, and great service!“

“The best part about dining at The Terrace Grill is the view across the harbor toward Bar Island. It’s stunning. Next is the service. Our server, Kim, did an excellent job balancing checking on us and giving us space. She paid special attention to details with our order and answered our questions about the harbor and the community. Finally, the food was very good and well presented. My wife had the Blueberry salad with Salmon which was outstanding. I had the fish tacos with grilled haddock and they were quite tasty. The sauce and salsa had excellent flavor. The fish was a little dry. The prices were quite reasonable and I would definitely go back.“

“Wicked awesome to find a restaurant that has great food, is reasonably priced (for Bar Harbor) and also caters to food allergies! I’ve recently come up with some food sensitivities and can no longer have gluten or dairy, and these guys acted like it was no big deal at all. We will definitely be back next time we are in town!“

“Best vaca find ever! Superb cocktails, tremendous food AND live music? Shut the front door. This place is great!“

“Amazing food! Simply delicious. The staff was friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere was very pleasant and relaxing. Five stars for sure.“

“Ordered through door dash. The chicken quesadilla and onion rings were delicious . But what stands out more is.. I ordered a diet mt dew and they sent a regular one. I called and they immediately offered to find someone to bring me a new drink. To my surprise it was the owner! Thank you Scott!! Excellent customer Service!!“

“Slice of Eden made our wedding cupcakes last year and they were fantastic! We had half of them made as chocolate with Swiss buttercream icing and half blueberry lemon cupcakes with whipped cream icing. They were a huge hit and gone so fast! We decided to have them make us a small blueberry lemon cake with whipped cream icing for our anniversary this year since we did not have one to save from our wedding. They knocked it out of the park! I can’t say enough good things about this place!“

“Perfect,delicious food ,for both lunch and dinner. Great staff,great view,would love to have this gem in our neighborhood in NC.“

“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!“

“Had dinner tonight and enjoyed ourselves. Our server, Patrick, was wonderful! He got quadruple sat and handled each table with grace and efficiency. Our meals were tasty and we loved the people watching while seated outside. Would definitely come back the next time we are in town.“

“We had lunch at Siams today, excellent food, excellent service. Reasonable. I would definitely recommend and I would eat there again!“

“We enjoyed CJ’s two different nights during our stay. Both nights the ice cream was amazing! We tried several different flavors, and they were all rich, and creamy! The staff was phenomenal! Even when the place was packed, they were polite, eager to help, and patient!! Wish we had one closer to home in Georgia! Five stars!!
FYI—it is cash only!“

“Stewman’s Lobster Pound in Bar Harbor, Maine is a must visit! The whole lobster is absolutely delicious, and the shrimp is equally amazing. The views of the harbor make dining here even better, and the service is friendly and attentive. It’s a popular spot, so it can get busy definitely get there early. A perfect place to enjoy fresh seafood and soak in the charm of Bar Harbor!“

“Always amazing food and excellent service. Intimate atmosphere just on the edge of downtown, one of our favorite dinner spots.“

“Recently visited Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. During our stay we ate here several times. Every one of our meals was delicious. Fish and chips was the highlight. First time having haddock fish and chips. Really well executed on crispy exterior and moist flakey flesh. The service was good. Met some really nice wait staff here and enjoyed the conversations.“

“Loved this place! The risotto is to die for! Waitress was very kind and the outdoor dining is super cute :)“

“Chocolates, fried dough, ice cream, and a whole lot more. If you can’t find something you like here, there’s no hope for you!“
