It's not good, just skip it. There are a bunch of great places to eat in downtown Bangor, some in the immediate vicinity. The only good thing I can say about this place is that the visual aesthetics are good. The restaurant used to be a bank and they lean into it, including the original bank vault, which is cool. Some of the food looks good, but the taste is bad. The charcuterie board is an excellent example of this. Their menu items are also mislabeled with their Risotto really being paella. I sent it back when it came since it wasn't what I ordered. Their second attempt was a burnt piece of chicken parm that looked and tasted like it came from an elementary school cafeteria. The service was awful with our waitress disappearing for large stretches of time and then doing little to address our disappointment. Avoid this place and treat yourself to a good dinner elsewhere.

We had a party of 10 after UMAINE graduation and was seated in the vault. The place was jammed but from the time we sat down to leaving everything was perfect. Service was top notch, all the entrees came out hot and on time. Great experience!!

If you really enjoy vegetables, this place is for you. I have eaten here twice, once I got a seasonal risotto and once I got a scallop scampi. In both dishes the primary flavor was vegetable; in the risotto that was very nice, in the scampi it left something to be desired. Everything is cooked very nicely and served beautifully.

Dear Evenrood, Thank you for last night. It was a beautiful thing we shared. From the ambiance to the Black bear blue shine to the spinach strawberry salad to the lobster Alfredo, it was one fine idea from you after another. Your chef is working hard to bring elevated fresh food with an individual touch and I really appreciated the effort. And that’s not to say that my meat-and-potatoes partner didn’t find your burger divine, ‘cuz he did. Staff was attentive and quite pleasant even when one of our party sent back a meal, not charging us and reassuring us that you were only concerned that we enjoy our evening. You left us with a lovely impression of Bangor. Thank you!
