The Tarratine

Fantastic place. Food was amazing. Staff is very friendly. After dinner we went to the third floor and played pool on their beautiful pool table.

An upper crust Bangor institution with a long and illustrious history dating to its founding as a private club and refuge for the Bangor elite in 1891 by Hannibal Hamlin, Abraham Lincoln’s VP. It’s one of the 3 places that Bangor locals in the know choose for a fine dining and excellent meal experience. Seasonal rooftop bar and a billiards parlor. Members private booze lockers from prohibition days are still in place, many of them unopened for nigh on a century.

This is a must for people that enjoy a great meal with outstanding service. The building itself was a true treasure with it century old wood work, bringing you back to the time when lumber was king in Bangor.

The pictures say it all… possibly the best food I’ve ever had.

We were only there for a night cap on the roof top, but as always it was a great evening. The bar tender is very sweet and personable and genuinely interested in her patrons ☺️ Can't wait to go back!

Very nice 👌

Fantastic, absolutely FANTASTIC ‼️

Atmosphere was nice, but food took a while to arrive. Ordered the scallop risotto, scallops were cooked perfectly and the flavor was great but the rice was undercooked.

We love dining at the Tarratine! We had the duck and the scallops with mushroom risotto…both were excellent. Followed up with dessert: raspberry crème brûlée and flourless chocolate torte. Yum! Excellent service!

I went for my birthday for the first time since moving to the area. I ordered an old-fashioned and it showed up on the rocks glass half full! That should be addressed, we’re adults if you pay $15 for a drink you would like your glass full lol. It won’t stop me from going back, but I won’t pay for an overpriced drink. Throw a little extra ice and a little club soda on that old-fashioned to fill up the glass please. The presentation was very stingy, but the price isn’t stingy so what’s the point just to rip off the consumer? The steak was the best that I’ve had in the area so far. That’s why I’m giving it a 3 star as far as the cocktails I’m not seeing it, a half filled old-fashioned, and my friend ordered wine and there was barely an eighth of a glass. We just kind of looked at each other, disappointed. Such a simple thing can ruin an evening out. Perhaps buying the bottle, might be cheaper? I don’t understand why Restaurants try to price Gouge the customer.The decor Is nice and welcoming Just stingy on the cocktails.

Great staff. Special vibe. Fantastic comfort foods.
