“ Great atmosphere and friendly staff. I had grilled chicken with a squash puree and my boyfriend had the PK Burger. And let's not forget the desert. We shared the Creme Brule cheesecake that was to die for. A definite place to check out when in Ellsworth. ”

“ Cute spot in downtown Ellsworth with an awesome happy hour! Inside is charming with brick and wood details and cozy booths. A small selection of local beers on draft and more in cans, and quality house cocktails. On a Tuesday, seating was easy but I could see it filling up easily on the weekends and during busy season so I would recommend making reservations. Food was absolutely great. We split the dumpling tacos (huge!) and chicken wontons. Unique and delicious, with large portions plenty to share. Lots of other creative options for apps and entrees. If we were locals, this would definitely be a regular weekly stop. ”

“ My last night in town and I asked the boys to pick a spot. What a nice place. The staff were super nice and attentive. Food was delish. Got the burrata and beets app, nice start. I had the charred octopus - absolutely perfect - we also had some duck confit, they said it was good and lastly the charred artic - also got rave review lol Definitely be back when I'm back in the area. ”

“ My wife and I eat here weekly. They have amazing staff and their cocktail menu is out of this world. Along with the food that has locally sourced ingredients chef Darren does a great job on changing menus to use only the freshest ingredients. But let's be honest, the burger and fries will never be a bad choice. Best burger I've ever had or will ever have, hands down. Great little spot in downtown Ellsworth. ”

“ I have only one word to describe Provender and that is incredible from the food to the atmosphere. Reservations are a must here! You can either sit at the bar or get a table. I sat at the bar which was a full service bar. You can order a drink off of their menu or anything that you are in the mood for. I had a lemon drop martini and it was one of the best ones I have ever had. Provender bartenders are truly incredible. Next let's move onto the food. I started with their fig and burrata. It was incredible! Everything tasted fresh and paired nicely together. For my main dish, I had their lamb special and it was everything I needed and more. It was rich and flavorful. Overall Provender is truly an incredible restaurant. The one thing that makes this restaurant amazing is that the chef will deliver your food and talk to you. You can tell that he truly cares about the food that he is creating. Provender menu is always changing too and whatever they add to it, I am sure it will be amazing! ”

“ I had a top notch experience here on a recent vacation to the area. The atmosphere has classic tavern vibes with cozy booths and dark wood. We began our experience with bourbon cocktails garnished in sage. They were perfectly balanced and wonderfully made. For our starter, we got the crab dip, which came served with buttery toasted biscuits. It was amazing. Tons of crab and the biscuit was definitely not a side note but was fluffy and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. For my main course, I got the scallops. The favor was spot on with just the right hint of lemon. I usually prefer my scallops with a bit more sear, but that was such a small note as they were so good, it could be overlooked. My dining companion and I shared their brussels sprouts, which were saucy and flavorful. For dessert, we shared the dark chocolate mousse with salted caramel ice cream which was absolutely as mouth-wateringly delicious as it sounds. The service throughout was pitch perfect and the prices are what you'd expect for a superlative dining experience. Get to it! ”

“ We were passing through Ellsworth on our way to Arcadia National Park and we stopped by this place bc it got such great reviews on Yelp. If you are passing through, STOP BY! Hostess greeted us with a smile and quickly seated us. Unfortunately we didn't get one of those cool booths bc we didn't have a reservation, but all good. Food was really good. The Crab Rangoon Hash Browns seemed a bit odd, but it was good. My main course was the duck bolognese..again something I thought that sounded interesting, so I tried it. Duck was cooked well and made with fresh pasta! My wife had the scallops and she loved them (sorry, she was really hungry and started eating as soon as we got our food). Again, if you're ever on your way in or out of Acadia, check this place out. ”
