"The grounds were beautiful and seating area has an amazing view. BUT?the service is HORRIBLE! I noticed when we sat down that there was a serious conversation with a family a couple of tables over from where we were seated?the server (possibly manager) was apologizing to the table and explaining that whatever happened was unacceptable. Things happen, so I thought maybe someone had a bad night. We sat there for close to 20 minutes and no one ever came to our table. We were a table of 4 that came in@8:45pm (closing time listed for the restaurant was 10pm) for an appetizer and dessert..2 other tables were seated while we waited for someone to at least say hi. When the other table had drinks and appetizers served, I went to find someone who ended up being our server ?who didn?t see us?; although 1 of the 2 tables next to us was HER table. She took our drink and appetizer order, never brought us water, so empty water glasses remained on our table during the entire horrible experience. The coffee drink I ordered was cold?COLD. No, it was not an iced coffee. I, again hunted her down, and asked if my drink should be cold. She went to the bartender who told her due to the liquor in the coffee it would be cold. ???? Our appetizer was decent and we ordered desserts which were good. No one received a refill on drinks so by the time we were halfway finished with dessert?no one had drinks?AGAIN, I have to flag down the waitress to ask for refills, which at that time I also asked for the check. She brought the check I immediately paid and DO NOT recommend this place. Total waste of $90.82 for 2 ok appetizers and 4 desserts and horrible service."

"I tried to list this wonderful establishment as a B B but the Happy Cow staffed listed it as a veg-friendly restaurant. I guess because it is open to the public for brunch during the late fall-spring, but as a B B I could have given it 5 stars, which it definitely deserves! Breakfast is outstanding. Every day there are both vegetarian and vegan/gluten-free specials such as: VEGETARIAN: Winter vegetable and Aroostook sharp cheddar tart served with two eggs any style and pickled mushroom salad; Whole grain crepes with cranberry jam and coffee custard VEGAN: Grilled rounds of scallion polenta, savory lentils, caramelized onions, grilled tomatoes and avocado hollandaise served with winter greens salad; Parfait of fresh strawberries, maple-toasted oats, and sweet cashew cream During our stay I had gourmet bubble squeak with lemon-rosemary roasted asparagus, apples, and leeks. Scrumptious! This was the vegan special until I added poached eggs. Eggs come from the owners ' own flock of free-running hens. My partner had the chocolate cheese pancakes with cherry sauce and blood orange butter, which was as incredible as it sounds. There is a cozy dining room with lots of windows, self-serve coffee, tea and fresh baked goods made in the kitchen that morning. We had mini cranberry chocolate chip scones, which, again, were melt-in-your-mouth delicious. While I 've been raving about the food, our room was very cozy and charming. The owners are such friendly, thoughtful people who genuinely care about the wellbeing of their guests, as well as the planet as a whole. The entire B B is green with organic linens, natural toiletries and housekeeping products. Ingredients are sourced from a dozen local, organic farms (see photos for list provided). The Inn is also on a downtown side street (with off-street parking), so one can easily walk around Bar Harbor without a car. If we lived closer we would be back often for winter weekend brunch. As it is, this will certainly be where we stay when we overnight on Mount Dessert Island in the future!"
