Best Date Night Restaurants in Bar Harbor

Entering the warm, cozy and inviting atmosphere of Franny’s on a cold and drizzly evening was just what we needed. The owner is very much present and came to our table a couple of times to see how we were doing. Our waitress was friendly and very helpful on describing the dishes. It was hard to make a decision about dinner because there were two or three options about which I couldn’t decide. I even considered a couple of appetizers for dinner. Finally, I chose swordfish and my friend the chicken dish. Both were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. I am looking forward to going back and trying another entrée while enjoying the ambience of this wonderful gem.

Understated elegance and great food. The service was excellent and the prices reasonable. The poached pear dessert was fantastic as well.

We love Havana! The food is dependably excellent and the ambience is lovely. Our favorite server Jessica always makes the evening shine.

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Kanu, to celebrate a good friend’s birthday, and it was an excellent experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting with an upscale decor. The food was beautifully presented, showcasing the chef's exceptional skill and attention to detail, and most importantly- delicious! The service was prompt and courteous taking care to address any questions and making us feel valued as guests. I would like to give special recognition to the chef who provided service that went above and beyond. Based on my notes when making the reservation, he took the time to research the sourcing of certain food to ensure specific dietary needs were considered. It's rare to find such a commitment to guest satisfaction and it truly elevated our dining experience. We are already looking forward to a return visit!

The Reading Room is classic white linen high class dining at its best!! Menu, food, service & ambience all first rate! Our server was very professional (can’t recall her name) & very menu knowledgeable - only issue was that the noise level made it difficult to have a good conversation! We’ve been there many times over the years & it is always the highlight of our visits to Bar Harbor!!
