Oysters were local and fresh and delicious.

Our waitress was so kind and helped out with someone who had a food allergy. We sat on the patio and it was nice and the road they are on isn't busy so it felt like we were tucked back a little! I would recommend! I got the sausage platter and they had pickled rhubarb and it was to die for!

Excellent find. Fantastic meal. Heck of a good time…read more Lots of beers and booze to choose from nestled in all warm and cozy in the eclectic environment of Bar Harbor, ME. I had the burger special which was fucking fantastic! I was getting pretty tired of seafood at this point and it was the most refreshing change of pace. It was one of those just in time food experiences. C went for the crab cakes. What a gorgeous version of crab cakes they were! Fancy pants presentation and all things considered some of the best crab cakes we had on our trip. Bartender was really friendly and was super proud of their whiskey/bourbon collection. He did point out a few bottles to us that were really quite special and hard to come across. They had some Penelope variants that were unseen to me. I would come back in a heartbeat. If I lived nearby, I would be here all of the time. There were a ton of interesting menu items I would like to try. '26 - 26

We noticed Thirsty Whale on YELP and decided to try it out. The restaurant is relatively small and pretty much all the tables were full, but service was wonderful and friendly. My wife and I both had the HUGE fish sandwich which we could have easily split one. It was perfectly fried and delicious. We will be back to the area and will visit the Thirsty Whale on our next trip.

The Lobster chimi which we were told were the best thing in town were bang average. Oysters too were tasteless. We paid up and went somewhere else !! Thanks for the feedback ! Of course, we didn't want to make a fuss, we just moved on. After the hype we were very disappointed ......

The service is very friendly. I wanted the Strawberry Fields cocktail, but they didn't have so I settled on The Fuzzy. It is very alcohol forward, which most people will enjoy. Not for me personally, as I would have liked more flavor from the infusions, but that's definitely a personal preference. The Blackened Fish Sandwich with a Small Caesar Salad had very flakey fish. I loved the meld of flavors, and ended up devouring my sandwich! The bun held together well. The caesar salad was a decent size and well dressed. Definitely a cool spot to hit for good food and a great pub vibe!

Food was tasteful and full of flavor. Risotto was rich and creamy. The pork chop was well prepared but would have love a mashed potato. The bread service would have loved a flavored butter instead of ricotta. Scallop appetizer with Brussel spouts was great! Salad was super fresh.

It is located in the Balance Rock Inn right on the Maine coast. Our server was very nice and was able to explain the dishes to us so that we could order the right amount of food. We ordered the crab fritter appetizer and it was really good. I had the scallops and my husband had the boar shank and not were very good. For dessert we had the pistachio semifreddo and again it was also very good. It's a quaint little place with a great view and the food and drinks were top notch. I don't think you can go wrong with anything you order and we will be back when we are in bar harbor again.

I assumed it's a touristy town but they really hold it down at Project Social. Every single thing we ordered was exceptional. I'd recommend to try as many dishes as you can. We ordered fresh oysters, clam chowder, octopus, lobster crepe, butternut squash soup and open face Bahn mi sandwich. I'd say the sandwich was least liked because it was falling apart with every bite but flavor-wise everything was perfect. The service was also exceptional. Nushi was really helpful with choosing dishes and making sure we had everything we needed. 10/10!! Would come back in a heartbeat

The toast was our favorite dish all week, with the mushrooms being perfectly cooked and the chèvre bringing a creaminess and slight funk to the dish. The octopus somehow had a melt in your mouth texture with a strong barbecue flavor and delicious sauces. We also ordered the ceviche, scallops, crab cakes, and duck tacos. It was all delicious, and flavors were well-balanced, meaning acids and fats were paired well together. Food presentation was exceptional. Service was incredible, in that our waiter answered all of our questions and food came quickly. Additionally, my wife and I showed up at 5:30 and were promptly seated. I think being offset from the main intersection some helps with crowds. Ambiance was top tier with the water feature and greenery.
