      We had a really great meal at project social! You felt like you were eating in a garden. The space was so intimate and homey. We loved that you could order items and they come out when they are ready. We really enjoyed everything we got, but especially the scallops, tacos, and salads. I also loved that you can check if there is a wait on their website! If you are in Bar Harbor, I would recommend going here!

      Came here to get some drinks at the bar. Great service, friendly bartender. We ordered some Chardonnay and two whiskey sour and it was really good. Bar looks really nice, indoors lighting was dimmed in the evening so this would be perfect for single person dining or couples. The low lighting gives it a little touch of private dining. The indoor decoration is nice. Their menu looks amazing. I did not order food but want to try their banh mi sandwich next time!

      We were a group of eight and we called and were able to reserve a table. We're we're outdoors and was lovely. The food was tasty and with a larger we were able to taste a lot of items. But of course that comes with a heavy price tag.

      The vibe here is wonderful, great music, beautiful garden, happy hour, sunshine in
      Bar Harbor after a week of rain...priceless. We had a great time in the beer garden and the community is TIGHT. Just a bit pricy but gotta consider the real estate it's on.,

      Delicious! We loved this tappas style restaurant and every plate that came out was wonderful. I especially loved the lamb and crab cakes. Our teens loved the barbacoa toast and potatoes.
      Our server was friendly, timely and had great suggestions. It was a pricey meal but the quality was great,

      Fast, delicious food in a beautiful outdoor setting in Bar Harbor. All three of the vegetarian dishes we tried were outstanding, with deep and complex flavors that felt warming on a fall evening. The spice on the mayo in the potatoes and the curry in the butternut squash soup are examples of how common dishes are elevated. There are plenty of heaters on the patio to keep folks warm on a colder fall evening. Our server was so friendly and gave us genuine advice on things to do around Maine and checked in with us at just the right intervals. I would definitely recommend this place after a hard day of hiking in the park.

      The only hiccup was that it took almost 15 minutes for us to be acknowledged when we first arrived at the restaurant... though many servers walked by, not one stopped for a second to say "sorry, the host just stepped away." This bordered on rude, which is unusual given how awesome the rest of the service was. Hopefully just a bit of training if the staff will resolve this issue to make waiting feel less awkward.

      Lots of outdoor seating (beyond a porch, not sure there was indoor seating). The yard was beautiful with blankets and heaters to keep you warm and comfortable.

      No reservations and we were seated immediately near a lovely pond. Service was attentive and the staff worked together well bringing and clearing plates quickly.

      For two of us, we had 5 plates, bruschetta, Caesar salad, crab cakes, potatoes, and beef skewers. They all were excellent! The potatoes were popular and I saw them being delivered to several tables. I loved the crab cakes, beef skewers, and potatoes. I probably would have skipped the Caesar salad and would have gotten the prosciutto bruschetta instead of the regular bruschetta. Everything was great tasting, but those were my favs.

      It was one of our most expensive meals in the area. Something to think about if that is important. We loved the variety and ability to share so many dishes.

      The setting was so cute and eclectic. It's like you are in an antiques fair and the little brook in the middle is just makes you feel like you found this little hidden gem. The drinks were great but the food was outstanding!! All small plates so you really got to try a variety of things. We wanted to go back during our stay but we just didn't get a chance. I would highly recommend. Every dish we had was outstanding but our favorites were the kale brussels salad, the prosciutto toast and the scallops. They were really crave worthy good!!!

      The ambiance for the summer could not be better. Outdoor sitting makes you feel at home, relaxed, spacious, simple but super comfortable. It's really a place that welcomes you. Tapas like plates, all of the ones we tried were really good, tasty and fun: and the variety is amazing. Just pricey.
