What We Do

Located in the historic Balance Rock Inn, we are Bar Harbor’s most famous hidden gem…

The Veranda restaurant has been one of Bar Harbor's few ocean front dining locations for over thirty years. Visit us for dinner or a cocktail on the deck. We feature live music in the piano lounge on a weekly basis, check out the link below for a schedule of artists.

Gallery

It has always been our goal to create the unexpected from traditional, to create more than a just a dinner...  Below are some behind the scenes pictures from our beautiful kitchen. If you would like the 'full experience' you may book a chef's table July-September.

We are proud to serve ingredients endemic to New England and the North Atlantic region. We love the rare, beautiful and unique foods of the area and work hard to bring those to you.

Fall is here....

Or is it? Seems like its coming a little early this year. The leaves are starting to change on the Norway Maples, and its getting pretty cold at night.  Good thing though, Autumn is our favorite season.

We are starting to see squash and pumpkins come up as well as apples, corn and grains. Game birds are coming in and we might even have an early urchin season.
