Yes ma'am! Best burger I've had. Random walk-in on an off-season Thursday evening. Could not be happier, except a little pissed off I don't live near this place. Great vibes, awesome vegetarian options.

I have had dinner here a few times. More than once have I had a bad service experience. But my family and friends and I return because the food and drinks are good. Tonight, we tried to get in and were turned away because we didn't have a reservation. The hostess said they were too busy. However, most of the dining hall was empty. I was served here when the restaurant was far more full in the past. It's very irritating. Call ahead for a reservation, I guess.

Three of us had the strip steak. All three were tough and hard to chew. 2 out of 3 left over half on their plate. The third left 25%.
The green beans were LOADED with onions. YUK !!!!
The temperature was freezing The a/c was set too low, causing people to put sweaters or coats on Don't think I will be going back, and we live here year round.

Had a very early reservation but well worth it. Great V and GF options. The Samoan stew at half size was huge and very good. Server was knowledgeable and friendly.

Everything was so delicious and there were ample dairy free and gluten free options for my sensitive stomach! We drove over all the way from Wiscasset and found out there was an outdoor patio so we called and asked if dogs were allowed: the hostess claimed on the phone that "yes, we allow dogs on the patio", but she neglected to tell us that the patio was closed because of impending rain (it wasn't raining) so our dog had to sit in the car unfortunately. When we arrived the hostess was on the phone and ignored us for 2 minutes; It sounded like a personal call because she said "see you later"before she hung up. Besides the hostess everything was wonderful! Happy to change to 5 star rating next time if I don't see her again.
Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating to dairy free and gluten free folks
Parking: Both sides of the building has free parking.
Kid-friendliness: They had a kids menu and dogs are allowed on the patio!

After 3 years vegan and 6.5 plant-based, this fine establishment did not disappoint. Just because I wanted to make sure that I made good use of the experience, I wanted to try it all! Being from Central MA I was excited for the variety of fresh seasonal vegetation. The reviews meant that I would be in for fresh-made food that would not be salty and I’m here for it! Being plant-based means quality food that’s healthy so that we can enjoy cocktails and good wine :)
We started with the Egg Rolls and Sourdough Bread with Oil. The Lychee Martini was made from a puree and on the sweet side but delicious as ever. Very refreshing! The bread is worth taking home in a paper bag if you don’t finish it. We had some the next day with breakfast eggs and butter. The Tofu Steak and Cauliflower reheats very well the next day and the Mac n Cheese (made vegan by cashew cream) is great but I would have liked more seasoning and more sauce. The noodles were cooked to perfection. My great friend enjoyed the quesadilla. It was crisp and flavorful and not too big but enough for one person.
The highlights for me are the friendly and the fresh food. I can see some thinking the food is bland but for those who put health first I give it 10 stars. Thanks for taking food to the next level and making great food so we can enjoy a fine meal out with the girls. Thanking my great friend Bryce Lenzen of Kennebunkport for the great meal!

My favorite restaurant in Maine. Everything is great.
We return to Bandaloop every year because it's consistently FANTASTIC! The food is always fresh, inventive, and delicious and the staff is wonderful. Come, sit on the patio, and make sure to order the sourdough. And save room for dessert!

First timers and we’ll definitely be back! Love the location and history. Roomy, comfortable and really interesting. Excellent and friendly service. Food was exceptional. We had the bok choy Cesar, mussels, steak (pictured below), mac n cheese (wow) and scallops. Sit down spots can be hit or miss during the busy season, but this was a definite win.
