We called to report this and were not even offered a refund. We were told "oh I'm sorry." Our symptoms ranged from nausea to diarrhea. Clearly we deserve at the LEAST a refund!!! Completely insane behavior from a restaurant. Do not go here.

This place has a spartan dining area and takes (or took) orders online only. However, the tofu I…read moreordered was top notch. An unconventional interpretation of ma po tofu, it nonetheless delivered classic flavor, with small fried local tofu chunks taking on a mix of spicy and numbing flavors, delivered with a hefty dose of aromatic scallions and an aromatic rice below. I experienced no difficulty getting my order. Online messaging made it unclear to me whether this place might be continuing operations in the future, and I can only say I hope they figure out a way to do so.

I needed to post a review of Cottage Street Ramen. No, it's not the cottage of St. Ramen, patron…read moresaint of noodle soup lovers. Or is it?!? So we're in a tiny, touristy (both negative predictors of good food) town of Bar Harbor, (pop. 5089), so I had low expectations of getting decent ramen, much less good vegetarian ramen. Very low. But LOW and behold... (get it? Low expectations, lo and behold? No? No one? OK. Let's move on). Holy cow... so to speak. Cottage Street Ramen has amazing vegetarian and vegan ramen. In Bar Harbor, Maine, of all places. We ordered Spicy Mushroom Miso Ramen, XO Ramen, and Rich Shoyu Ramen. And all of them were so amazing. To start, the presentation is beautiful, a treat for the eyes, topped with grilled and fresh ingredients and fried tofu, and the Rich Shoyu has generous amounts of sliced grilled garlic which is sweet and mellow. I highly recommend adding boo choy and scallions when you order. Iit adds a few cents to the cost, but so much flavor; they grill the bok choy and it's super yummy. All three broths are all so flavorful, rich and full of umami. And while the whole wheat ramen noodle isn't quite as glutinous (chewy) as white ramen noodles, but it's really good, and a sight more wholesome! We're here a few more days, so before we leave, we may just have to go back another time.... or two! There is no sit down service, and you have to bus your own table when you're done, but for this level of goodness in this place, it's totally worth it. Also they have no hot sauce, only house-made chili oil, so if you like it spicy like I do, bring your own hot sauce.

Great tapas bar with patio seating that is so unique. Felt relaxed. Busy in summer but worth it!read more

I finally had a chance to visit the very enticing patio at Project Social Kitchen over Memorial Day…read moreweekend. It was chilly out but the patio was warmed by heat lamps and blankets were waiting for us on our seats. We ordered the midnight cocktail, a beer, the seafood chowder, prosciutto toast, patatas bravas, and duck tacos. I enjoyed all of the items, if I were visiting again I would reorder the tacos and the patatas. I know tapas typically are served as they're ready, not all at once, but each of our items were pretty spaced out so we were only eating one plate a time. I wish they were served a little closer together. I would love to come by again on a summer night to try a different cocktail and some of the other menu items. As other reviews have stated, the drinks and tapas are a little pricey, even for the area, but worth the splurge for a romantic evening or special occasion.

We knew what we wanted because we looked while we waited. Things we ordered: clam chowder, lobster pot and crab pot. Clam chowder - this is the best clam Chowder I have ever had in my life. I still think about it. The most fresh and flavorful clam chowder ever. 5/5 stars Lobster pot - comes with steamers, corn and potatoes. It's what you expect. If you are expecting a west coast seafood boil that comes in a bag this is not it. It's simple and delicious Crab pot - 1 whole corn on the cob and a couple of potatoes and a couple of smaller clusters of crab. Again it's simple and delicious. I would come back here every single time to get the clam chowder. This place is a must for that alone.

My mom and I came for lunch because they have a cute little set up to enjoy "lobster on the lawn" while overlooking the river. We ordered a hot lobster roll with butter and a cold lobster roll with mayo; they were both fantastic. I could have sat there all day since there is ample seating so you don't feel rushed. We were even lucky enough to see a seal pop its head up! The service is friendly and quick so it's a perfect spot to just relax and enjoy a yummy lobster roll. Would definitely visit again and recommend to anyone planning a trip to Maine.

As soon as you walk in, Satori has a very welcoming, friendly, comfortable, and relaxing vibe! For our visit, the owner personally greeted us and spent some time talking with us about his place. A great sign of owner/operator buy in! Satori is in a great location on the main strip in Belfast Maine. Easy parking access and walking distance from town dock if you come by boat! The cocktail menu is insane! I'd come here just to enjoy a premium craft cocktail at the bar! We enjoyed a variety of sushi, sashimi, tempura and amazing Japanese style bbq pork belly. Everything was delicious and to the standards and expectation of a fine Sushi restaurant in a big city! Recommended and we will return!

Do yourself a favor and try the chicken katsu or breaded/fried chicken with the curry! DIVINE. My husband and I couldn't get enough and ordered to go the very next day. Coming from a big city, we felt there aren't a lot of options in Bangor, but Umami definitely stands out in terms of their flavor profile. Give it a shot!
