Spirits Bar & Grill

Food is incredible, cocktails are delicious, view is beautiful and service is top notch!
It has a lovely atmosphere...sometimes we catch live music which is never loud...and you can have a conversation with the people you are with without yelling ;)

Our favorite local spot for a NICE dinner.

Food was delicious, the ambiance is beautiful and peaceful and the service was awful!! We had reservations for 7:00 pm, we were welcomed by a nice young man who was the host for the evening and he seated us immediately but then no one talked to us for the next 30 minutes. We had to ask 4 times about a waitress and I was ready to pull the manager to speak to him when Melissa finally and reluctantly showed up to our table. No apologies, no introduction, she did not even speak to us to take an order; she just stood there uninterested. Lady, find a different job. You are obviously are not made for this one.
Anyway, other than that all the dishes were great and we enjoyed the outside garden which was just lovely!

Wonderful experience! My best friend & I made reservations for Saturday Brunch on my birthday. I hadn't been to Spirit Bar & Grill since before Covid, but I remembered that I really liked it the few times I'd been there. It was a nice day, so we decided to eat outside under the umbrellas. People were laid back having a good time. Some even had their dogs (who were really well behaved) outside with them. I ordered the French Toast with scrambled eggs & bacon, which was absolutely delicious. My friend ordered the cucumber sandwich. We both had drinks with our meal. The waitress was amazing. The restaurant & the experience was even better than I had remembered. So happy we went there on my birthday & can't wait to go back. After our meal we walked through their beautiful gardens. Amazing experience!!!

A bit hit or miss. I've had both good and not so good food here and the service can be a bit slow. The views are lovely though and the live music is nice. A good place to come for a cocktail. I wish they were open later.

On a recent trip to Marrowstone Island we dined at Spirits-- a restaurant with an interesting history as an "old alcohol plant".

Sweet outdoor dining area with a rose garden and view of the water.
I had the Prawn dinner-- the coconut almond crispy coating was delicious.
My one complaint-- why the side of frozen french fries? I'd substitute either hand-cut fries or a baked potato.

Maybe I expected too much. Selected here for spouse's birthday and website menu listed pork loin - their favorite. Made reservation - arrive to 5 tables, one departing. Staff tells us it will be a few as they are only person on. A booth is bused for us but table top is dripping wet - when we ask to have it wiped dry we are told we can move to another table. We simply wipe it down with the cloth napkin and ask for clean napkins. The menu is minimal - entrees are burger, fish & chips, fettuccine, & eggplant. We understand that there needs to be flexibility with current food supplies but that means keeping media updated to reflect menu options. We asked about having Alfredo sauce with our bread instead of marinara and we're told entrees are already dished and there isn't extra Alfredo - it was an odd explanation. We had the calamari as an appetizer - yummy, definitely try this! Also clam chowder - good. I had the pork roast stew which was a special and it was good too. I drank the Allure and it was a nice unique gin cocktail. Staff too rushed and hurried - provides minimal and essentials for meal but this creates unpleasant experience and isn't healthy for staff at all. Saw signs they are hiring and certainly wish them the best.

I had doubts about this place as it is restaurant at a hotel. We were a party of four and we had made reservations. They gave us a choice of outside or inside and on such a beautiful evening, we sat outdoors. It was a garden type setting with wild herbs and plants in bloom, surrounding the patio, which overlooked the bay.
Our waitress was prompt and helped with a wine selection, which included many locally made. She offered two specials for that Friday evening, The salad especially sounding delicious. ( they grow most of the vegetables themselves).
Three of us selected the Panko breaded Cod and chips, one selected the pork loin. The fish was fresh, light and flaky but a little smaller than I expected and I wished i had upsized to 3 pieces. The fries were better than most. The pork loin was generous, cooked properly and served with a bed of fresh vegetables and potatoes nicely seasoned.
Our waitress was very attentive and accommodating. I was very happy with this restaurant and would recommend it to anyone visiting the quaint Port Hadlock area.

To be honest, I found this place because I was looking for a dog-friendly restaurant to grab food and this was the only thing in the area that seemed promising. That being said, the food, service, and location completely blew me away!

I stopped by with my bf and some of his friends. We had a party of 4 adults, 2 kids, and 2 dogs. Since we brought our dogs along, we had to sit outside. They have a really cute seating area by the lawn, but it was chilly out and the heat lamps weren't working in that area. Instead of having us suffer in the cold or turning us away, they made it work by moving us to the patio area and got the heat lamps in that space working. We didn't have a 'normal' table, but I'm so grateful that they were willing to make it work by bringing seats to the coffee table so that we could all be comfortable and dine together with our doggos. Our waitress was also very thoughtful and brought out a bowl of water for our dogs. She was very attentive and it was this act of kindness for our fur babies that pushes this review to 5 stars.

In terms of the food, everything was on the pricier end, but was very delicious and had great quality. Between my bf and I, we had the calamari, fish & chips, and the prime rib sandwich. The calamari could have been crispier, but overall, it was delicious and I enjoyed the tasty vinaigrette that it's drizzled with. I didn't care so much for the coleslaw that came with my fish & chips, but the fries were hot and crispy and the fish pieces that came with my order were huge, juicy, flaky, and crispy. I had a bite of my bf's sandwich and their food is consistently solid across the board. They actually serve you vegetables that they grow out of their garden, which is a huge testament to how fresh everything is!

Lastly, the location is so beautiful if you sit outside to enjoy the view! The inside of the restaurant and hotel seemed kind of old and dingy, but the outside seating area is very quaint and cute with a great view of the water.

I love this place. My grandparents used to come here for some big charity event each year, and as a kid I aspired to go to what must be such a classy place.
This venue lives up to my hopes. We love the people, food and views. Thank goodness they have made it. Good karma! The charity work and open gardens are amazing as well.
Peace!

My wife and I stayed it the Old Alcohol Plant hotel for a few nights. On the first night we ate at the Spirits Bar and Grill. The dinner was fantastic. I had the Mushroom Risotto and added Grilled pPawns to it. My wife had Pasta Primavera. Both dinners were amazing and were enough to fill us up. We couldn't stop eating it. Service was outstanding and the meal was delicious. Highly recommend it. It was great to see some of the locals enjoying dinner as well. We came back Friday night after a long day hiking and was great to see both the restaurant and bar full.
