"This was our first visit. My husband was reluctant with farm to table, but he went because of me. Well we absolutely loved every course we had. We started with Waldorf salad and peach strawberry gazpacho. Then we had the steak and swordfish entrees. And we finished with raspberry sorbet and Nutella mousse. We are so coming back. Everything was fresh and tasty. The staff was incredibly friendly from the hostess to the server to the bus service. Can’t wait to see what a fall menu looks like."

"Server was incredibly rude. I never asked if we need to refill drinks. I never asked if the food was okay. Ordered a medium-rare prime rib. It came out medium good. My husband's middle rib was much rarer than mine. Just an overall bad experience."

"Wonderful!. This was a random choice for us because it was raining (again! as we left our hotel (Hilton Garden Inn and we asked for a recommendation from the reception people. I had read decent reviews of it, and have to say that it exceeded expectations on this Sunday evening.<br/ <br/ My husband and I were seated immediately. We both chose the Faroe Island salmon with the summer squash zuke salad with a vinaigrette dressing. I wanted to know where Faroe Island was, thinking it was most likely near Monhegan Island or some other Maine location, but no, it is an island in the North Sea between Norway and Iceland (as my very smart husband knew . So much for local cuisine. But it was delicious, and the veggies were amazing, with a delightful lemony seasoning. When I asked about the seasoning, our helpful server said she would inquire, and soon reported back that the herbs were parsley, mint, and basil. I will try to duplicate it at home, it was THAT good. <br/ <br/ I was accidentally served two glasses of chardonnay, but when an additional server dropped the second glass off and noticed a glass already on the table, he said, 'Oh, you already got your glass. Well, have two and this one is on us. ' Very gracious, and very consumed. <br/ <br/ For dessert, I followed our original server 's suggestion: the lime tart, with gin infused cherries (see photo! . Really tasty!!<br/ <br/ I highly recommend the Old Port Sea Grill and hope your experience is as satisfying as ours."

She's got the fig scarf. beautiful and fresh combination. our waitress, haleigh, was efficient and personal with well thought-out opinions about the selection of food. a pizza cook caught me when I stared at the beautiful Italian pizza oven and called me to tell me about it. I recommend"

"HORRIBLE. Service at the bar was slow and disinterested. The unpadded wood chairs were both uncomfortable and incongruous with the elegant room. Once seated with a menu, I noted the absence of their famous lobster stew. They were known for this stew with the lobster shaped puff pastry atop, and this should have tipped me off the kitchen skill had plummeted. I ordered the lobster (chowder? bisque to be followed by the lobster dinner. The bisque arrived, and other than looking a little dark, was nicely presented with a small portion of lobster. The lobster meat was tender and warm. BUT the bisque was ghastly. It had all the flavor of flour and warm water. It wasn 't just bland; it was not food but instead paste typically given to children. Upon receiving this dish I proceeded to do something I have never done before: I called over the waiter and advised him this was not to my liking; to cancel the entrée; and charge me only for the porridge if I were required to pay since I ate the piece of lobster (with the remainder of the gruel left undisturbed in the bowl . Without any inquiry over my dissatisfaction, I was presented with a bill for the bilge. I paid and departed without so much as an inquiry or expression of concern. The inescapable conclusion is that the establishment is fully aware its fare is wholly inesculent; otherwise, general curiosity alone would have warranted what seems to be out of order or is there something else I might bring you, or I 'm so sorry our food has sickened you. Certainly the pandemic staff shortage has hobbled the kitchen. But there are plenty of canned and institutional bisques that are at least palatable. Who hasn 't eaten on an airplane. But this was far worse than airline food. The combination of poor food and unprofessional management compels dining elsewhere in Bar Harbor. That the restaurant would serve this compels avoiding anything from its kitchen. Look elsewhere for now."

"we enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner with friends and were pleasantly surprised how the whole food was amazing! the turkey was particularly delicious and we all agreed that it was the best we ever had! the dinner was also very cheap and it is worth considering that we did not spend hours preparation and cleaning up! we will definitely come back!"

"Ordered the side of Mac and cheese with Bacon and it was phenomenal. No happy hour available and the bbq pizza was too much BBQ in comparison to the chicken and onions . Had a great time and yummy food . I recommend it"

"The Lowrey is the best restaurant in the neighborhood. We have eaten here for years, and even now that we've moved to New Jersey, we will travel the hour and a half to come back as often as we can, just to come to the Lowrey. The drinks are great, and the beer selections are always good. And daring! This is where I discovered strawberry beer. (Life changing! The food is always delicious, and they have a weekly specials list to keep the choices fresh. My biggest issue is trying to decide which fantastic meal to choose. Its a genuinely family friendly place. You can go to watch the Big Game, but its also a great place for family dinners. I also recommend making reservations for a Christmas or Thanksgiving dinner, if the tradition continues! My fiancee and I love the people who work here. Even when we're not stopping to eat, they recognize us and greet us. We consider them our genuine friends, and I sincerely hope (and would not be surprised to hear that many of our neighbors do, as well."

"book a reservation at 7:45 (from the city birthday) for a live band event. the waitress seemed like she'd never served so we'd give her a little bit. a few drinks were ordered and flat koks were brought (more times after the subdirection it was flat (not enough carbonic acid.) apparently we sat on the dance floor and had to move for the band. band should start at 9 o'clock and at 10 minutes to 10 the band was not yet built. the restaurant was not very busy and that should have been my first red flag, but we gave him the advantage of the doubt. we had a better experience at cheeky monkey next door."

"Great Casual Atmosphere. Service was great. We have a 19 month old and we felt welcome and the server didn't mind putting our child's order in first or bringing him an extra bowl to share our Pho. Taste was authentic and the decor was nice and casual. Very wonderful to just relax there. Summer rolls were perfect."

"I made this reservation over a month ago, as we live the night in the hotel in this restaurant. we were out of the city and rushed to make our reservation while constant updates and remembrances of opentable. when we came to the hotel to look and then go straight to dinner, we found out that the restaurant was closed. when it was probably due to covid and personal questions, it was completely understandable - but what annoyed me was that nobody recognized me that they were closed. especially because we had a reservation - they had my name and my number to let me know or just cancel the res by the app! it was not cool after a day of travel, to have to find unexpected somewhere else to eat. during hanging lol they are sure to be close when they need and take care of their people during this time! but maybe next time they check their Res list and update the people about their plans."

"We been celebrating X’mas since last three Christmas, this year we felt it’s losing that comfy personal touch. Earlier the manger would come in , we will get some great wine recommendations, etc but this year we didn’t feel that welcoming. Overall the food consistency is still same except they messed up one of our orders. Still it’s a nice place for a special occasion or large family dinner during important days events. As we couldn’t connect we missed the recommendations of some of their favorites amaro desserts. Hopefully they read this and bring back that great experience we looking forward to once again."

"Unimaginative, over priced food masquerading as quality. Manager and staff are obnoxious and Chef is arrogant. Chef refused to try a dish I told him didn 't taste right, yet insisted it was great and he had the same dish earlier as if that has anything to do with it. If you want over priced, unoriginal dishes like truffle oil mac and cheese, then this is the place for you."

"Waiter was good but Drinks came after dinner and appetizer. Excuse from another server was that bar was busy- but it really wasn’t . It was a Sunday night. Seems very disorganized. Food with the exception of Cesar salad what was I thinking? was very good. Sweet plantains we’re excellent. Will wait a month or two and try it again because of the food."

"Our family goes to this restaurant very often, twice a month at least. The food, the cocktails, the atmosphere…we love it. But there’s been a couple of time that we have been unlucky with our waiter, both times the same guy. He is definitely not up to the standards of such a nice place. We will keep going and crossing our fingers that he doesn’t work our table."
