    Tiramisu
    Jeanine A.

    I've eaten from them two days in a row and almost three meals. The first one I ordered (room service) but never received. Then I ordered a pizza, delicious, and finally, lobster & crab ravioli, just ok, and a tiramisu, pretty good. The pizza was really the star, the sauce the cheese the toppings and the crust all worked together perfectly to make the perfect bite. It was a little spicy but not too much and had the perfect ratio of toppings to crust. The lobster and crab ravioli just had way too much going on there was spinach and peas and just it was just a lot going on I would have preferred just the ravioli without all of the other stuff the pasta itself for the ravioli was very good and the filling was also really tasty but there is just so much other stuff going on. The tiramisu, also same thing, too much going on. Great flavor but also had these little pearls of chocolate, they almost had the same texture of a chocolate malt balls but was super super tiny and just didn't really add to the tiramisu experience for me. It is convenient that they are right inside the resort and are the room service provider so they've got a good selection.

    Passion fruit bellini

    On our last evening in Bar Harbor, we stopped into La Bella Vita because of its super convenient location right across from our hotel. We walked in without a reservation and they were still able to seat us almost immediately. The place where we were seated had a gorgeous view of the pool area and was very serene. Our server was Daelyn, and she was friendly but rushed. We placed an order for a passion fruit Bellini for me and an agave limeade for him while we looked over the menu. As we waited to order, we noticed the portions were huge, so I made a mental note they had half portions and that's what I was going to opt for. The Bellini was very sweet, a little too sweet for my tastes. He liked his limeade so much however, that he ordered a second once the first was gone. Once our server returned, we thought he ordered the halibut and I ordered the half order of the giant tortelloni. Unfortunately what she brought us was the haddock, which was not what he thought he ordered, due to a misunderstanding on the word similarity and the sauces. He was a good sport however and ate it anyway. It was not great because it was not what he thought he ordered, but my tortelloni were good, fresh, and very filling. After all the miscommunication and food was over, she told us that she gave us her employee discount on the fish to apologise for the mix-up which was kind of her. That left the prices as follows: limeade ($5), tortelloni ($11), haddock ($14), Bellini ($12). Service was fast, flavors were decent, ambiance was a little olive garden for my tastes, and prices were average for bar harbor dinners. Overall a solid 3/5 stars.

    I wish the rating system could be changed to allow 1/2 stars or one rating for food and a separate one for service. We had diner here last night and had wonderful food, but the service was sorrily lacking. Our waiter was not familiar with many items on the menu so we had to either google the ingredients or take a leap of faith. We enjoyed the Lobster bisque soup and shared a lobster with beets salad (fabulous citrus vinaigrette dressing. For our main course I had the Fishermans stew and my wife had the lobster/crab ravioli. Both were excellent. Warning! This restaurant is not owned by the hotel and has separate management.

    Loved their sausage from pizza so much I ordered side of it the next night
    Erni D.

    I spent the week at the hotel attached and had many meals at the restaurant. The first night I was a bit disappointed with the pizza. Although the toppings were excellent the crust tasted as if it were bought pre made from food service and then cooked in the wood fire oven. It was just too chewy with little freshness taste. But I can't emphasize how good the toppings were. The next days included a tomato and cheese dip appetizer that was excellent and very hot out of oven when served. A crab and Lobster dip that was very good. (Needed a little added spice but easily done after serving) Spaghetti and meatballs were spot on. Ribeye perfectly cooked and the best meal of all was the muscles appetizer that definitely was size of a meal. It was excellent! All pictures included. Ended up being my personal favorite spot. Of course attached to our hotel helped those rankings.

    Lobster Ravioli, Small Portion
    Aakanksha S.

    Prices and food are not as high-end as the ambiance would suggest. Plenty of relatively affordable options on the menu, including vegetarian options. I also appreciated the option to get a small/half portion. Unfortunately, my lobster ravioli arrived rather unevenly heated, mostly cold, and didn't seem to be the best thought out dish to begin with. It was alright food for a tourist town, but don't be fooled by the fancy flourishes.

    Best Breakfast in Bar Harbor! Everything FRESH and prepared perfectly Our server Carlie smiles with her eyes!

    The restaurant is in the tall four story building on the far edge of the very busy downtown area.
    Michelle L.

    This restaurant is a great choice if you want something different then the classic lobster house menu. Their wood fired pizzas were delicious (get the sausage with spicy tomato sauce) good salads, and they have a decent wine list and a nice view of the harbor. We had absolutely excellent service by Grant!

    Located just on the right side of the Harborside Hotel Lobby this is an amazing restaurant and I would have to say this is by far the best restaurant we have dined at in Bar Harbor! Their drinks, varieties and its quantities are amazing For Food we had - 1. Sicilian Style Garlic Knots - Perfectly soft and served with red sauce which was tangy and spicy 2. Brick Oven Bruschetta - The Bruschetta was crisp and topped with freshly sliced tomatoes and cheese, it felt like biting into a mini pizza! 3. Potato Gnocchi - OMG! This is the best, crispiest and the crunchiest Gnocchi I have ever had, it was fresh made and topped with roasted kale 4. Margherita Vecchio Pizza - The Pizza was perfectly spiced and also had Basil Pesto sauce drizzle over it which added to its overall flavor 5. Salsiccia Pepe Pizza - The pizza was filled with so many toppings and it was very filling We repeated out order for the Garlic Knots, Potato Gnocchi and the Salsiccia Pepe Pizza as we just couldn't get enough of those 3 items 6. Creme Brulee Trio Dessert - This dessert had the traditional creme brulee, Coffee Creme Brulee, Chocolate Creme Brulee and each of them tasted perfect 7. Tiramisu Dessert - it was fluffy and had the right amount of coffee drizzle Whether you are staying at the hotel or not, I would definitely recommend having food here at least once while staying on Bar Harbor

    TERRIBLE!!!! They need to get it together! DIRTY white cloth napkins. These had to be replaced 3 times. Our water had stuff floating in it. Replaced this 3 times as well.. Then we ordered a bottle of Pellegrino. The silverware was not washed properly and still had butter on the knives. These are easy fixes for a real restaurant manager. We found the manager uninterested in anything we had to say about the cleanliness of his restaurant! Here was the kicker to this meal. 1. Were were told they have no bread service due to covid..... after we received our pasta.. (So put it on the side of the pasta bowl not on the table.) 2,. We were on our way out and told by the hostess we had to buy it. They had garlic knots not bread. 3. We were then told they don't have any bread on the menu! INFORMATION I needed before I ordered the Pasta Bolognesse. If this was NJ they would have been laughed at and would never stand a chance of surviving with out bread for pasta! We ordered the Chicken Saltimbocca with mederia wine and Chicken Piccata. NO maderia in their saltimbocca. It had was some kind of brown sauce and had no sage to boot! Piccata was just ok. A waste of over $100. Had a nice view and service was good but annoyed. They should be because of the restaurants lack of cleanliness they have more work to do!

In fact, after…read moresampling plenty of Maine blueberry items over the course of our vacation, this was by far the best one. I would go here just for the pie alone. The pie earns this place 5 stars by itself. We started with the maple sriracha wings and while a bit pricy...we are in Bar Harbor after all...they were excellent and I'd get them again as a starter. The girlfriend got a painkiller and it was substantially large and very tasty, she was very happy with it. I tried a sip and thought it was good as well. The brown butter lobster roll was good, but I would get the Maine next time--I had gotten Maine style the night before so I had to switch it up. The regular fries are OK but the sweet potato fries are out of this world. The gf again was please with the fish and chips which are gluten-free and really good, she was blown away by the portion size once again. Slaw was on point. The decor was very eclectic and it was funny because they have a painting of a naked woman on the wall and these three young boys eating dinner at the table under it couldn't stop looking at it and giggling, it was hilarious! Moose head on the wall like all proper Maine establishments. Service was by Travis and he did a top-notch job, I'd request a table from him again in the future. And I would come back here the first night I was in town.

We had been on our Maine trip for almost a week and had been waiting for a while lobster. We both ordered the 1.5-2 lb lobsters. You can pick the out of the tank if you would like. We didn't have the heart to pick out dinner and look it in the eyes. I'm husband just chose the lobster plate which comes with a 1.5-2 lbs lobster and corn on the cob. I opted for the meal. Lobster 1.5lb lobster, cup clam chowder, corn on the cob and "famous" Maine Blueberry pie. Lobsters were good. Definitely couldn't had more than one. As always not enough meat if you're only eating lobster. Corn was tasty. I have mine to my husband, he was still hungry. The clam chowder was ok. I feel like it had been sitting in the pot for a day or so. Really thick and kind of concealed. Not the rich-creamy flavor I was hoping for. Kind of bland. Needed to add hot sauce. I tried a couple bites of the Blueberry pie. Very thick pie filling. Sweet and tasty. Felt like the crust was store bought. Not really flaky or buttery. Overall, good lobster. Touristy. I'd pop in again for a quick bite.

    Miss Elizabeth B (6/25 Review),…read more I appreciate the time you took to go scorched earth on your recent review of Table Salt in Bar Harbor, ME. It was a motivating factor to visit the establishment, enjoy a lovely meal in a lovely town, and tip heavily. You claim to be a culinary source of authority. I think it's great that you own a Subway franchise in New York City, but I might hesitate from throwing around the word 'chef' too haughtily. I mean just because one wears a cowboy hat does not mean one owns cattle, am I right? Perhaps there were dishes on the menu that one could argue were overengineered, but they tasted great! And consider that you have no idea where in the culinary journey their chef is, nor what the market needs or will bear in Bar Harbor. The place was packed. Service was great. Food was divine! On a Tuesday night. Maybe next time you visit a restaurant, leave your Michelin yardstick in the trunk of your broomstick, and simply relax. Or possibly return to Bar Harbor Bicycle Shop, another establishment you experienced through your Vantablack-colored glasses and blew up on this site. I'm sure they would zealously rent you another bike if you promised to venture into Acadia and get lost. Cheers!
