We tried the lobster bisque, lobster mac & cheese, a burger with truffle fries, a wood-fired pizza, and finished with the homemade Maine blueberry pie from their in-house pastry chef. Every single dish was outstanding. The flavors, quality, and execution were exceptional from start to finish. The biggest surprise? It's located in a Residence Inn. Don't let that fool you--this is a destination restaurant in its own right. A special thanks to our server, Nick, whose recommendations were spot on. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely helped make an already fantastic meal even better. Hands down, one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time and easily the best food we had anywhere in Maine or Canada during our trip.

We had the Barrel of Souls (an aged stout) and a honey mead/beer mix (I can't remember the name). Both were delicious, but the mead/beer was our favorite, the two flavors complemented each other very well. The bartender was super nice and had some suggestions for local shops to check out. The atmosphere was perfect, just a small space with a lot of vibes. This is somewhere I will definitely visit again if I'm in the area.

I think if you're going for beers, this is a nice place to visit. The beer that made them famous…read morewas a hit at our table. We went for dinner because two people in our party were vegan and this menu had vegan options which we appreciate so much. I don't believe it's her fault as there is no kitchen in this establishment, but the food was bad. Some of it was not fit for consumption, and, to their credit, I was not charged for those items that were inedible. I suspect the food would be great if she had what she needed to do her job, because the menu was really interesting. It's a local place with nice local people and we always try to support those businesses when we visit a town. But you cannot cook meals using one hot plate and an air fryer, or store restaurant grade food in a college refrigerator for extended periods. Go for the beer, but don't eat the food until this team can upgrade to keep everyone safe.

There were two hosts to greet me upon arrival. The space can be a little tricky to find if you've never been before.. if facing restaurant from the street you need to go to the right of it in a little alley way like spot and door is on your left in that space. The ambiance is upbeat and medium loud. Medium to dim lit with 7 or so spots at the bar and then tables near window or in dining room. There are wine, beer, and cocktail options. I had a blackberry cocktail with egg white, blackberry compote and gin. It was very good. Not too sweet or sour and light and fresh. The customers varied from older couples to dad and their kid to people in their early to mid 30's.

When traveling for work, I try to get food that I would cook for myself at home and this was that kind of meal. The one "odd" thing was the insane amount of salt on their fries.

I will come back next time I'm in town.

Seasons was packed which caught our attention. We ate light. Our meal consisted of the buff chicken Cesar wrap and fries. Classic wrap, exactly what you expect from a place like Seasons. On the other hand, the fries were awesome. Super crispy and small just how we like them. The service was kinda funny. We had a woman who was older. Lovely lady but she definitely had a hard time keeping up with the demand. If she was quicker we probably would have ordered more.

I had a similar experience with the bartender named Nicole. Her customer service is lousy. Please…read moreavoid her at all cost, unless you want to be publicly chastised if you should happen to want a substitute on your meal. She felt it necessary to tell me "You always have such an issue every time you order" when I asked for "spaghetti" instead of "linguine" on my meal. She also announced loudly as she walked away "And I won't ask you again if you want another beer!" This has happened twice prior with her when I sat at the bar while she was the server. When I finished my meal she was clearly avoiding coming over to us. I waited 20 minutes (yes, I timed it) for her to come over to ask me how my meal was and if i needed a box to go, but she never came over. She was not busy and the bar was 2/3 empty by this time. (I was so disgusted with her at that point that I wanted to see how long it would take). Check your Bar camera from Monday night June 22, 2026, you will see her throw a heavy Beer glass into the trash with quite a smashing force! She was obviously pissed off! That kind of behavior was dangerous and very aggressive, and does not belong in any customer service establishment. I own a vacation rental and often get asked what restaurants I would recommend near the Bangor Waterfront during concert events. Seasons will be OFF my list, mainly due to Nicole at the bar. I don't want the embarrassment of getting a bad review for the recommendation, and I will not be coming to Seasons any time soon. I sincerely hope the management addresses her and straightens out her bad attitude. This review would be less than one star if i had the option.

We went to "family Restaurants", local pizza place, Sea dogs by the water, McLaughlins (great food but man, they need umbrellas over their tables!!). Anglers was also good but kind of far. The food at Blue Skye Lounge is excellent! One wouldn't think it would be so great at a pub style lounge but one would sadly miss a good meal by not heading into this lounge. Yes, service can be a tad slow, but the bar is always quite busy, so tables wait a bit for service. We go in with our grandchildren. They LOVE the mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders and the pizza! It's the best around, I swear, and at a VERY reasonable price. During happy hour, you can't beat the prices. Chicken tenders are always perfectly cooked and at $8.00 an order, it's the best deal around. Mozzarella sticks? They love them and at $5.00 an order, it makes the grand parents smile We went several times during this visit. Our last being Wednesday evening. (Our Wednesday morning flight had been cancelled!) Bree was our waitress and she was the best! She was busy, but right there for refills, and checking to see if everything was good. She's a gem at the Blue Skye lounge!

My spouse's pork belly starter was great, but my summer gazpacho was incredibly one acidic note. The salads were fine. Spouse's crab entrée was decent but the fried okra was completely inedible it was so tough and fibrous and roasted potatoes were hard. I was served a very strange grilled asparagus entree that was floating in a bowl full of extremely bland oat cream broth. Had to send it back. The elote risotto was ok but overstated. The pork tenderloin was excellent. Spouse's carrot cake was tough. My lemon ice cream was delicious. We will probably give them another chance, but it wasn't the level I expect from them. Service was good. Nice ambiance as always, though the place was pretty cold.

We started with brussel sprouts, which were very tasty, just a bit salty. I usually get the salmon or halibut-I went for pan seared scallops. Excellent choice! I do not use a lot of salt at home, so again, a bit salty. My friends enjoyed the fish tacos and grilled shrimp. More fish on the tacos and a little less salt would have made this a five star review. Overall, still my favorite spot. The bar, the restaurant, the dragonfly decor -- nothing but love! Maybe I'll secure the old bank vault room when I graduate with my Master's degree in May 2025.
