First of all, we agree with the many platitudes regarding the intimate setting and wonderful views out onto Frenchman Bay from... the Veranda Restaurant at Balance Rock Inn. Also, this is not a review of the quality of the food here, but an important noticeto anyone who has food allergies. Please be forewarned that this chef has the most stringent policy we have ever experiencedregarding patrons with food allergies. For those who check out the restaurant's website before making a reservation, they dostate that ?we can accommodate most dietary restrictions with advanced notice?. Also, if you use their website to make areservation, they do note: ?We require 24-hour advance notice of any dietary restrictions or allergies so we are able to makespecial accommodations?. All of this is fair and mostly reasonable as the restaurant?s prerogative. My wife is allergic to allforms of shell fish and usually notes this when making dinner reservations either online, (OpenTable), or via telephone directlywith a restaurant. For this particular dinner, she had forgotten to make that note when speaking with the Inn several months inadvance when she called to make our dinner reservation as well as room reservation in the Inn, where we have stayed on and offover the past 14 years. On the evening of our dinner and once seated at our table having given our dinner orders, where my wifeordered the trout entree, she told our waiter about her shell fish allergy. Several minutes later, the hostess came over to ourtable and informed us that the chef could not guarantee that the trout dish would not be contaminated by shell fish. We weresurprised at that, but accepting this caveat and she changed her order to a beef entree. The hostess came back several minuteslater and informed us that the chef could not guarantee that the beef entree, or for that matter, any of their entrees, wouldnot have come into contact with some part of shell fish. We have traveled extensively, both domest Read more

The best dining experience in Bar Harbor! The food was really amazing. We had the quail and the oxtail as appetizers that were... accompanied by tasty bread and butter. For the main dish we ordered the scallops. Absolutely delicious! We also shared thechocolate cake with the cardamom ice cream. Eric served us and did a wonderful job with food and trip suggestions ??

My wife and I went here for drinks and desserts. She got a lemon drink which she said was one of the best cocktails she had ever... had. I got a blueberry soda cocktail which lacked blueberry flavor and did not taste very good. You can see that the dessertswere very small. They had a lot of flavor but not worth it for the price. The service was exceptional and while we did notorder dinner seeing the dishes come out of the kitchen was interesting. We heard a waiter explaining a dish to someone and thewaiter advised that the grass in the dish tasted "grassy". If you are looking for a nice fancy sit down restaurant I wouldrecommend Havana over this place. Read more

We could only get in for dessert and cocktails. Richard and Siera treated us like royalty. The dessert was the best dessert I... had in my life. The dessert chef made my dessert grain and starch free. It had tiny marshmallows on it. I haven't hadmarshmallows in 15 years since having to give up starch, gluten and grains. The cocktail was so beautiful and entertaining anddelicious. Will definitely go back but this time we will make sure we attempt to make reservations in plenty of time. Thank youRichard, Sierra and the dessert Chef. This day was the best day of our entire vacation thanks to Richard. Read more
