Reading Room Restaurant - Bar Harbor - Photo album
We celebrated our anniversary here and ordered dinner as part of a package for staying here. The ambiance (view, live music) was inviting! The food was delicious from the filet mignonette and lobster tail to the desserts! Oh and the lobster bisque was delicious too! Sergei, our server was attentive
First time and we really enjoyed it. The table views were excellent and the food was just as good. The filets were cooked perfectly and well presented. Def worth a shot if you're looking for a fine dining experience in Bar Harbor.
This is a "DON'T MISS" restaurant. The STAFF was attentive and was not on top of you to eat quickly. They gave great suggestions for the meal when we asked. The piano player was so wonderful. I had told our waitress that we were celebrating my boyfriend's birthday and when she brought the desser
We had a great dining experience at the reading room. We ordered the lazy lobster and the filet. My wife has seafood allergies and Chef T came to our table to let us know the precautions that his kitchen takes in dealing with guest with food allergies. Afte our meal Chef T made another visit to our
Very nice place with fantastic views. The staff was very friendly and the food was good. I had swordfish, which was delicious, and my girlfriend had filet mignon. Our only complaints are: the filet was asked to be cooked medium rare but was actually well done, and our server wasn't around to refresh
Wow! What a view and excellent service. Chef Zach has made such a wonderful impact on the menu and the drinks were delicious too! This is a must visit in Bar Harbor and you have to book reservations well in advance for this Bar Harbor classic. It is pricey but not for the quality of the food and ser
The view was immaculate and the seared scallops just as good. The staff was timely and courteous, though a bit detached. Unfortunately 2 of our party of 4 received over-cooked lobster tails, and this after I spent a week bragging about how amazing Maine lobster is. The overall experience was above a
We went there for our anniversary dinner and the food was excellent. I had duck confit and it was amazing. We shared the whipped blueberry cheesecake and plan to go back again just for that. Highly recommend.
The quality of food was top-notch! We really enjoyed our dinner here. The piano was nice to listen to 🎶
Very fancy here almost felt under dressed but it was ok. The food was great but we had reservations for 8:30pm which was late and felt like they were closing up already. our server was very slow in getting us drinks, cleaning up, asking us for things and the kids were tired at that point. neat place
My wife really enjoyed the seared sea scallops and all the sides with it! Atmosphere and service were top notch! I've never heard a Jimmy Buffett song played on the piano. The tribute was a great touch.
A wonderful experience. Very nicely designed restaurant with panoramic views of the harbor. The hotel is historical and dates back to the 1800s! The oysters were average. The lobster was the best we’ve had in Maine thus far. The filet texture was off, but edible. The blueberry pie was the cherry on
We dined at this restaurant two times during our stay at the hotel.
Fine dining at its best.

Hostesses Cathy and Joe are a pure delight.
Helpful, efficient, polite and friendly
We had a very great time there and delicious dinner but remember that you should reserve a table before)
The view in this place is unbelievable.
Breakfast was really good. We had the lobster frittata and the French toast.
Service was incredible. Waiters were amazing with my 1y old baby and they even gifted him a lobster stuffed animal and kept him distracted for a bit
They also had gluten free optio
We ate here our first night in Bar Harbor. It was also our anniversary. Whether you just want a nice dinner or something special, the atmosphere is beautiful and the food was some of the best we had in town. And honestly, very reasonable priced for steakhouse type of cuisine. Best lobster bisque we
Amazing food, wine, and dessert! We enjoyed the surf and turf and the swordfish as well as the whipped blueberry cheesecake for dessert. Only thing we didn’t like was how hot/warm it was inside the restaurant. Could’ve turned the fireplace off given that it was already warm. But overall great food a
To start, there was some confusion over our reservation. We thought it was one night and Marius thought it was another. Marius ultimately made it correct and did an amazing job of getting us a table of either window. We had the compressed watermelon salad and also the beet salad and both were excel
