“Marlitini's Restaurant is your typical coastal type restaurant in Blue Hill, Maine. I frequent that place often for these specific reasons that make them stand out from any restaurant I've ever been at. I'm greeted immediately when I walk through the door, it took only a couple times for me to go there for the bartender to know exactly what I wanted to drink, and despite the food choices not standing out with variety, the quality of food is always to notch. If you've had a great experience with one dish, you can leave and come back a month later to the same expectation or better. They go way above to make sure you are taken care of and exceed expectations. Jessie is frequently the bartender there and its refreshing to see when I walk in a smile on her face as she's already starting to pour my drink. If she can't get to me, she does what most people fail to do in the service industry now and acknowledges me confirming what I want to drink and saying she get right to me. Ed is also a huge part of this restaurant and exceeds most people's standards when it comes to dining at a restaurant. Knowing that my partner and I like to sit at the bar but was unfortunately full when we arrived last time, he made sure to let the bartender know we were waiting for a seat and then he proceeded to sit us down in a closed off area getting our drinks orders (which jessie was already doing) and took our food orders right then. The food came out shortly after which was surprising since the place was packed. Even though we didn't get our seats at the bar, the staff extended themselves to ensure our experience was the best, which I see time and time again done for other customers. Not being from that area originally, I feel like I have always belonged there.“

“I would definitely recommend Blue Hill Blaze. The service was timely and friendly staff. I will be retuning to dine again“

“We had the opportunity to spend a night and enjoy a delicious dinner at the Pentagoet Inn and Pub. The Inn is gorgeous and the owners have thought of every detail. The pub and restaurant were outstanding. We would highly recommend this little piece of coastal, historic Maine.“

“We were in Castine to enjoy my husbands 50th Reunion at MMA. A large group of us enjoyed lunch on Friday at the Castine Variety! The food is truly delicious, fresh, and a delightful surprise in an unlikely setting! We also, as a large group, enjoyed a fabulous dinner on the Saturday evening. Its BYOB, which is appreciated, and for those of us that cleverly ordered the SeaBass - oh wow! simply outstanding!
We all enjoyed several diffent menu items over the 2 days, including ordering a homemade blueberry pie to take home!, but most of all, we really enjoyed the hospitality and sheer talent of Chef and Kermit! Castine should be proud to show-case this establishment! We will happily return!
Thank you again, Chef and Kermit“
