Amazing spot! The GF IPA was so good we went to buy some at the liquor store after dinner! My husband and I had the burger and pizza and would never guess they were both GF!
Very knowledgeable staff for allergies. I got the fish tacos and when I asked the waitress about switching the sauce from a dairy one she had an amazing recommendation! The tacos came as a rice bowl for GF and had an allergy notice indicated on my meal. Amazing place!
It was very busy when we went in, but all the staff members were kind, friendly, and accommodating. The food is excellent. My husband got coffee, which came in a carafe…very efficient and convenient, thank you. My hot tea came in a smaller carafe/pot, which was obviously only used for tea…so there wasn’t a coffee taste at all (thank you!!). It kept my tea very hot which is also so great. I noted the vegan and gluten free options, which is so wonderful to see. I do not need GF food, but people I care about do…so it is lovely to see it offered. I also enjoy vegan food, though I did not get that this morning (I’m vegetarian, so again, it’s great to see vegetarian/vegan options). Their attention to detail is what made it so great. And the decor in their restrooms/water closets were entertaining lol.
Really great find in the heart of Bar Harbor. Super considerate about our gluten allergy and vegan preferences. The smoothies here are to die for. Try the PB J smoothie. Loved all the food and the ambience was terrific. Not crowded even during the holiday long weekend.
Loved the atmosphere and hospitality of the owners. Everything we ate was tasty and flavourful. Mango lassi made me happy. I am very grateful to find safe gluten-free options. The patio is lovely and away from the big street. We could sit and chat peacefully.
Great service, accommodating, and amazing food!
My fiancé and I went here for dinner during our weekend get-away and it was our favorite spot of the whole trip! Between the two of us we have a list of food allergies (the most prominent being Gluten Free and Shellfish). After talking with the hosts we were assured that they are able to make accommodations for our allergies. We had a wonderful meal, highly recommend inquiring on "Today's Fresh Fish", their halibut and haddock dishes were amazing (I forget which one had the creamy black pepper sauce, that one was delicious!). Atmosphere was perfect for a casual romantic dinner, just enough privacy to feel you can talk freely with each other but still had that social comfy vibes. This is now a staple of our visits to Bar Harbor going forward.
Website showed same menu as other location, but when we got there it was a limited menu. Wine $16 a glass, really? Gluten-free bun on fish sandwich was too big, no tarter sauce on fish sandwich, overcooked fries.
$100 dinner disappointing.
Our server, Julia, was incredibly attentive, considerate and accommodating. We asked about some gluten free choices and she checked with the kitchen before placing the order. All four of us enjoyed our meals. It was a lovely night in the outside terrace seating area, which is surrounded by landscapes and is not directly on the street. It's quiet and relaxing on the terrace.
I had the Halibut which was served over lobster risotto and green beans topped by a bit of Beurre blanc, a buttery sauce. Halibut being my favorite fish. It was perfectly cooked, not overdone. Halibut is a fish that is overcooked in many places in my opinion. Perfectly white and flaky. Well plated. I didn't find any lobster in the risotto, if you want real lobster risotto, Josie's in Ellsworth is the place to go. There you get 2 or 3 ounces of real lobster meat blended with the risotto. It can be a meal in itself at Josie's
My husband and I stopped in for coffee and was so happy to see the gluten free vegan options! We tried the scones, the muffins, and a breakfast sandwich and all were amazing!
We loved this place! Steaks were excellent, service attentive, and the restaurant was beautiful with wide plank wood floors and rugs under each table, very cozy. My husband has celiac and they have a gluten free fryer, which was exciting! Would definitely return.
Great experience, especially if you are gluten free! The menu was marked and there were a variety of options! The lobster taco special on corn tortillas was amazing - and our server Jesse was fabulous!
This restaurant was highly recommended to us by someone from the area when we were visiting for the evening. We arrived and walked in with my service dog and we were told we needed to sit outside. It is 50° overcast and misty in the air.
We asked if we could sit inside and the host said shook his head and said that he would prefer we were outside. We asked if it was because of the dog. He smugly smiled and nodded. We proceeded to tell him we would not be dining there, and my husband told him that was against the law. I cannot believe we were turned away with our service dog. He is a 25lbs very well behaved service dog. Go to Geddys nice and respectful. And great gluten free options!
See photo of my well behaved boy!
Amazing every time! We come up twice a year with our 3 kids and Pizzeria 131 is the most family friendly place to eat in Bar Harbor! Great prices, staff, chill vibes, a few fun arcade games, and hand held games. Gluten Free options too, including chicken tenders! I like to try new places but we keep coming back here. Hard to beat! Thanks guys!
My boyfriend and I had a great time at 2 Cats this morning! He got the corn beef hash and I got the gluten free blueberry pancakes. Both of us left full and satisfied. I can’t wait to come back later in our trip and try something new - especially since the spicy home fries are gluten free as well.
We wanted a late night slice and the restaurant was crazy busy even though they were going to close in about 20 minutes.
We went in and my husband ordered a slice and asked if they sold gluten free by the slice. They said sorry no but that they could make a GF pizza for me and it would be done in about 10 minutes. So that's what we did.
The pizza is delicious, the service is wonderful and the atmosphere there is fun. Rosalie's is fantastic!
Siam Orchid is a great restaurant! The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, the food is incredible, and the service is timely! They have traditional staples while also being able to accommodate and modify for food allergies like vegan and gluten free making it the perfect place for everyone in your party. Yum!
Super awesome place. Great staff and vibes. They have a good amount of veggie options and even some gluten free ones. Great drinks! I love the old fashioned. The loaded fries are also very good and the veggie curry.
Claire was an amazing waitress!!! The pianist did a beautiful job playing the piano. Beautiful views. I enjoyed the variety of options and options for gluten free and vegan guests.
We were hungry and looked at different restaurants. The Terrace Grill had the most beautiful patio, it was early evening and the sun was shining. The young lady at the reception gave us a menu and the time to read it, then we were given a table directly with a sea view. The service came from Kim, our waitress, and was perfect. Very friendly, helpful (need gluten free) and confident. The food was very good, delicious fish for my husband and a really, really good burger with a gluten-free brioche bun for me. A bottle of rosé rounded off the evening. As we were leaving, another waiter, a young man, also thanked us. The food was very good, but the staff made the evening special. Thanks a lot and we’ll be back👍🏼🤗
Great gluten free pizza crust for my daughter we had several pizzas and they're fantastic as well. Kernal, our server was great and personable and helped us figure out our order. Decent beer selection and the Greek pizza hit the spot on a busy shopping day in Bar Harbor.
Stopped in for dinner in the off season and they even let our dog sit with us in the heated patio area! Got the GF tacos with a GF IPA and both were delicious
THIS PLACE IS A GEM! We stopped in for a quick coffee and breakfast while touring around bar harbor and had one of the best quick breakfast of our whole trip! Great iced and hot coffee options from a super friendly barista. And the breakfast sandwiches were quick and so tasty. They have gluten free English muffins for their sandwiches that were delicious and great GF option! *the crepes are not gluten free unfortunately*
Love this place! We asked how safe it would be to get ice cream for someone with celiac and they not only offered a clean scoop but a whole new box of the flavor we wanted - above and beyond. Added bonus to the fact that the ice cream was stellar. Can’t wait to come back & huge thanks for the great service ☺️
My wife and I love this little shop. While I find the caramel macchiato to be a little heavy with the milk (could have gone with another shot I guess) my wife thoroughly enjoyed hers.
She is very partial to the lemon cranberry walnut muffins and I absolutely love the pumpkin whoopie pies.
In one week we stopped in about 4 times to get more pastries and deserts. They were also very accommodating with my grandmother and offered gluten free options. She loved their gluten free macaroons.
Nice selection of different roasts for drip coffee. My husband said the popovers were delectable and they even had a gluten free blueberry crisp for me. The only negative was a lack of seating in the shop. We sat outside on a bench and walked around the wonderful bookstore next store while we sipped our drinks.
Totally fine and well priced. The vegan options are lumped in with the gluten free which is a minus for me. The two vegan options are a beyond burger and a bran burger, and they don't have a non-gluten-free but vegan bun. That being said, if you ask them, they can put it on their ciabatta bun which is vegan and really tasty (just make sure you specify no butter when they grill it)
I was honestly more in it for the fries which were really good. Crispy exterior but soft inside. They also have a nice selection of local beers on draft and can.
This is definitely more of a grab and go place than a sit down restaurant but the food is quality and if weather is nice you can go sit outside in the park. I had the caprese melt on gluten free bread and it was delicious. Lots of pesto and mozzarella.
Love the cozy and homey vibe in here! Very clean and comfortable atmosphere. Our server Sara was awesome. Got the Swiss and mushroom burger with a gluten free bun and this is the best gf bun I’ve ever had. The food is so delicious. Thanks!
Well this was a treat! I am gluten and dairy free. My husband is not. We both wanted to the mussels appetizer but I cannot have the cream sauce. Waitress offered to split the appetizer and make mine dairy free. So nice and it was a win! I ordered the Aranchera flank steak for my main course with asparagus and potato salad. It was absolutely the best steak I have ever had. I needed no dietary alterations and I just loved it. It has an amazing crust with cilantro and red wine flavor. Thank you! We had our kids with us and both loved the pizza and chicken fingers. My son rated the chicken fingers a 10/10 - they were homemade, not frozen.
Friendly and pays attention to orders and detail. They have gluten free options and downeast cider. Great food within a great town of Bar Harbor. Highley recommended checking out the town and hop around.
A quaint, delicious "Kitchen-Nook" tucked away in the back of what looks like an alley! Heed the sign (on the side of the building) of the "Hand Pointing A Finger Down The "Alley"" and it has "Cafe This Way" on the Hand. A lovely place to eat! Service was fast & pleasant, food very good, worth a return trip. Gluten-free options are available!
Definitely recommended for gluten-free food lovers! Pizza and salad both were delicious. Service was super fast and staff was super friendly and helpful with gluten-free options.
I had the ham, cheddar and apple panini on gluten-free bread and it was AMAZING. Most satisfying sandwich I’ve had in a while. Their GF bread is the best I’ve had at a sandwich shop.
I love so much about this place! As a gluten free vegan living here, I rarely ever go out. There just aren’t options. So to have a place capable (and willing) to making all entrees v/gf makes me feel more welcome than any other establishment on the island.
The food itself is beautiful and tasty. High quality ingredients, and everything is handmade (even the noodles.) For those who think the price is high - yeah, it’s an island. Nothing is cheap here, especially not ingredients which aren’t mainstream in this area. And knowing that profits are going back into the community, helping the island’s food insecurity issues, makes me more than willing to pay.
For those who think the food is bland. It probably is if your taste buds are jacked up from eating a diet of predominantly processed food. I eat a whole food diet, and found flavors of my ramen bowl to be amazing (saltier than I’m used to, but I don’t normally eat salt.)
I’m blown away by the fact that the brains behind this is two recent grads in their 20’s. Bravo!!! You’re bringing much desired quality to town.
It’s fun to eat at community tables, chat with strangers, and experience something different from the typical tourist food scene. Come with an open mind 🥰
We had a DELICIOUS blueberry and vanilla swirl soft serve. I am gluten free so we got it in a cup and it was a very generous serving- perfect to split! The blueberry soft serves stands out as a clear must-try in Bar Harbor. Note- it’s cash only!!
I'm going to take a second to review this hotel and I'm still on vacation. I'm picky and do my research before putting out money for vacations. That being said I can't understand for a second why anyone would want to stay anywhere else in Bar Harbor. 22 rooms all with a balcony and a view. Shuttle into town. Fast and convenient Leo and Greg are fantastic. Delicious breakfast every morning included. I am a vegetarian and the breakfast is vegetarian and vegan but even my husband is raving over the food. Especially this quiche croissant they have. Choc chip cookies in the afternoon with options for those gluten free. They even left two champagne glasses with a shareable bottle of champagne and a card for my birthday.
And the beds are super comfy. Wonderful place with a staff that needs to be recognized!
Haven't had a bad meal from here and is very consistent, since I remember them having high quality years ago too. The clam chowder is a favorite. They're pretty good with gluten sensitive options (not sure how they are for the more strict celiac diets). Our server was very nice and gave good suggestions.
Celiac friendly
