Black Friar Inn & Pub

Although we were unable to reserve a stay at the Inn, we did manage to get there for dinner one night and breakfast one morning. Both meals were very good, served hot and fresh. We were delighted to have the same server both times. Dan was very personable and courteous, and made sure we felt welcomed. The atmosphere of the pub is charming, and it felt quite cozy -- like going to a friend's house. Highly recommend.

We did not stay at the inn, but came in for breakfast. The pub was very cute and cozy. Our waiter was super friendly, and as the restaurant wasn’t crowded, we had some great conversation. The steak and eggs was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. Definitely a hidden gem.

Entering the Black Friar feels like stepping on board a schooner ship. The crew hoists their colors proudly as they rightfully should, with an eclectic atmosphere and fresh local seafood that will have you staying longer than you thought you would. Fresh, local oysters are to not be missed at their daily happy hour, and the lobster Benedict was a perfect welcome to Maine. Take your cocktail from the bar to the quaint rooftop deck. Note that there is no elevator, so bags must be carried upstairs to rooms. Character (in the best sense) is not lacking here, in a true Maine fashion! Service was great and the food alone is worth a visit.

The restaurant was fantastic and very accommodating for our range of diets! I loved that there were multiple vegan options on the menu. The vegan burger was extremely tasty - and the rest of the party would highly recommend the poutine and the lobster tacos. Service was amazing - and happily replaced a dish when one of the group didn’t like the seasoning on the regular burger. Would recommend!
