“Had a wonderful dinner for a family reunion of seafood paella, spring dug parsnip soup, steak and frites, salmon, braised lamb shoulder and risotto. Service was wonderful. It was an expensive meal but worth it for a special occasion.”

“This place has the friendliest staff. And they have stellar food options. They're not afraid to branch out beyond their staples either, last night my meal included candied pine cones and they were delicious! Also loved the rosemary and root creme brulee.”

“I ordered a grilled blueberry muffin with butter and the flavor was subtle, but tasty. I also ordered a French vanilla latte and I could taste every bean that made it! YUM! Fresh orange for some Vit C Great Visit!”

“This has become a regular breakfast spot and it has yet to disappoint! I have been so impressed with everything that I tried in the mornings I went for dinner and had one of the best meals of my life 🤤”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had an absolutely fantastic father-son date night at Dara's Bistro in Cumberland, Maine! 🍽️🍷 We kicked things off with a perfect Old Fashioned 🥃 and the best Bee’s Knees 🍋🍯 I’ve ever had—both were expertly crafted and set the tone for an amazing evening. The food was equally impressive! 👌 The land and sea options satisfied these beef experts 🥩 and seafood lovers 🦞🐟 alike. Son and I shared the sourdough, quail, shrimp and mussels, and the beef tenderloin—every dish was flavorful, cooked to perfection, and beautifully presented. We wrapped up with crème brûlée 🍮 and sticky toffee pudding 🍰 for dessert, paired with a buttered rum ☕ that complemented the brûlée and pudding perfectly. From start to finish, the drinks 🍸, food 🍴, and atmosphere 🎶 were outstanding. Highly recommend Dara's Bistro for a memorable dining experience—we’ll definitely be back! 👏”
