Everything is so well thought through. From the cozy and welcoming decor, the delicious cocktails and beers they have to offer, and the food. I need a second to talk about the food. I had the salmon, it was the best salmon I have ever had prepared perfectly 👌. Also, my salad, I usually just get salads to stave off feeling guilty of pigging out on the tasty onion rings we ordered as an appetizer (highly recommend, that BBQ aioli is money!) oh that salad... with the AMAZING dressing, figs, and blue cheese. I didn’t think vegetables could ever be that tasty. My husbands duck was also incredible. I had to wrestle him away from it to try to get a bite. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, our glasses were never empty and they always had a moment to ask how everything was in the midst of a busy service. We are here on our honeymoon and just passing through Ellsworth but this will be the only place we will be going back to a second time. If we lived here this would definitely be the place I’d go to get my ‘foodie’ fix.
TLDR; This place is amazing eat here.
If you want delicious, approachable “gourmet” food, then this is the place and there isn’t anything else like it in the area. The dining space lends to a casual, yet sophisticated ambiance that almost seems like there should be a cigar room with cognac in the back. A dark wooden bar runs the length of the dining room on the right and the cocktail menu is classic with an innovative twist. The Brussels and squash dish listed under “firsts” was a hit of the night! The NY strip steak is a fantastic cut of meat, cooked to perfection with carrots and this delicious and creamy Dijon baked custard. The short rib was pull apart delicious on cloud- like celery root purée and the cherry Mostarda a great accompaniment. Thanks for a fantastic meal, we look forward to all that you will create in the future :))
This place has a romantic, yet historic flair to it. The architecture is beautiful and has been kept to its original structure as much as possible. This is a great place to take a date. The food was delicious! The wine, spirit, and beer selection is great. We will definitely be going back to this place the next time we are in town. And I love the deco style glasses that I drink my beverages from.
Provender Kitchen+Bar has great vintage wood interior with a brick ceiling with booths. Multiple trips now - always good. Cheese biscuits with crab dip, salad, burrata appetizer all so goos. Amazing gnocchi with lamb, lobster dumplings (amazing butter sauce), creme brulee and amazing cocktails! I had a very tender and flavorful pot roast with lobster mac and cheese. My friend had a gnocchi dish that she enjoyed. We were greeted by a friendly hostess/server-- on this busy Thursday night and we felt grateful we were able to get a table.
We stopped in for dinner at Provender after reading good reviews. We were warmly greeted by staff, and sat at the bar. The owner was behind the bar and very kindly answered all the dietary questions we had. I ordered the orange duck which was incredible, and my friend got a steak. These were hands down the best dishes we had over 10 days of traveling through Maine. Plus the atmosphere was fun and lively with locals. We would go back in a heartbeat!
The food at this place is excellent. Their truffle fries are easily one of the best I've ever had, and wagyu beef tartare was absolutely delicious. This sandwich is also really good. Service was also excellent and swift even during peak hours.
Another successful night at Provdender. We still have not found a dish that hasn’t knocked our socks off. The poutine tonight remained crispy in the gravy and the cheese curds..!! The chicken parm was enormous, flavorful and cut like butter. Their duck is the best I’ve had and the garlic boulé is the dish I miss every time it leaves the menu. The star of the night was the chocolate bread pudding topped with dolce ice cream and surrounded by toasted marshmallow dollops. Thank you to Billy, Jason and Daron for taking such good care of us . You’re missing out if you have not tried this treasure of a spot.
Fantastic. Truly fantastic. Food is great, atmosphere is great, etc. Only downside is the portions are small, so it's definitely worth it to get appetizers. The brussel sprouts are to die for. I will be going back
This place is incredible!! The atmosphere walking in is beautiful with woodwork and dome sealing. Our server Billy was very kind and helpful making sure it was a perfect night! Everyone in staff was so so sweet as chef Jason and Daren prepared us a little special treat! I am so shocked with the amazing experience I wasn’t expecting as we were just casually looking for somewhere to eat. To top it off the food was top notch incredible, very unique, flavorful and clearly made with love. Thank you Provender Kitchen and bar!!

This spot is a GEM and the single best place we ate at while visiting Acadia National Park and the surrounding area. We were greeted warmly by Joy (owner) who let us know that, while we didn't have a reservation on a busy Saturday night, they would be able to squeeze us in for dinner. We had a drink at a brewery just down the street and were seated sooner than expected.
We were seated and started talking with Daron (owner). Daron was friendly, knowledgeable, and so intentional. He advised us on each dish and shared about his experience as a chef and starting Provender's with his wife. His passion for his food and restaurant are so evident. The food was absolutely amazing--my husband especially loved the steak and the duck was so flavorful. The only thing better than our meal was the staff.
Truly, the atmosphere, food, and kindness of this staff were one of the highlights of our entire trip and we can't say enough wonderful things about them! We would absolutely recommend Provender's to everyone in the area. Skip Bar Harbor and come straight here--you won't regret it!
This was the best meal of our entire honeymoon and perhaps it might be the best meal of our entire lives. Everything about Provender was perfect! The food, the atmosphere, and the service were top notch! We ordered the bison tartare for an appetizer, and the pesto chicken and steak dishes for our entrees and ended the evening with lemon meringue. All of our dishes were perfectly balanced and you could taste the love and care in every bite! We were able to meet the chef, Daron and thank him in person for the meal! Just so you know, in order to eat here you need to book an online reservation that would take a deposit to hold your spot. After your meal you will be refunded your deposit! If you can get a reservation, this is an absolute must do!!!
I sat at the bar. I had the Tater Tots. This was an outstanding dish! Just the perfect amount of this and that. I also had the spicy margarita. They have some interesting cocktails to choose from. They could probably use one more bartender to bump that service to 5 star. Great staff.
