Veranda At Balance Rock Inn

Absolutely delicious meal! We made a reservation for our Anniversary dinner while we were on our trip to Acadia. I loved the dark, elegant atmosphere of the place. Compared to much of the other restaurants in the area, it didn’t feel crowded at all. Our server was super helpful, but also gave us lots of space to enjoy our meal. The food was all absolutely delicious. The beef yakitori was so flavorful! The chicory salad was good, but the bacon dressing was a bit overwhelmingly sweet for me, still tasted good, just not my personal preference. The sage dumplings with rabbit confit was amazing, the rabbit was so tender. The scallops were cooked to perfection and my husband loved the trout. Altho...

My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary at the balance rock and were unsure of how the quality of the restaurant would be it exceeded our expectations our meals and service were exquisite. We started with the mussels which were so delicious they were small but very good seasoned well and had delicious prosciutto pieces in it. I ordered the steak loin with bearnaise sauce the sauce was light and the steak was cooked to perfection. My wife ordered the pea risotto which was very good too. They gave us a few snacks from the kitchen which is a really nice touch one of them was a smoked trout dip on a wonton. We are not huge trout fans and it was delicious! For dessert we got the layer cake...

We didn't have a great start here (we arrived a little early for our reservation and could not find anyone at the hostess stand, nor get anyone to help us for quite a while; when we did, the dining room wasn't yet open so they sent us to the bar where the bartender barely deigned to serve us), but it got much better once we were seated. Our waiter was excellent and the food was superb. We had rabbit confit appetizers, the duck (maybe the best duck I've ever had), scallops, cremeux and a cheese plate (huge). It was all divine.

A rare fine dining experience in a wonderful setting in Bar Harbor. Not inexpensive, but worth it for a special evening.
