Loved this little place! We were staying up the street and popped in for breakfast. We were lucky to get a table right away. Staff was amazing! The owner stopped by our table and so welcoming. She even gave us some great recommendations on things to do in the area, including which vendors to check out at the farmers market in Belfast (I also recommend that!). All of the food is locally sourced and it was a wonderful breakfast. Atmosphere, staff and food were all top notch. I highly recommend!

Three of us had breakfast on a weekend. This is one of the best breakfast places in the state of Maine. The service is both professional, very well trained and very caring. I was impressed and we had not even ordered yet! It’s a cloth napkin establishment which has been arranged to allow space and intimacy so you don’t feel crowded and it feels light and airy. On your way in, I suggest you swing by the coffee bar as it saves you from getting up again after your seated. The cup selection is great. The menu is innovative and unusual so there are options for both the classic and the adventurer. I’m to understand the menu is dynamic. Our food came out quickly and the quality was excellent. I highly recommend this breakfast. The chef understands both the foundation of a good dish and the attention to detail to make a restaurant stand out.

Such a pleasure dining at The Hoot this evening with guest chef Concepta’s Studio. We stuffed ourselves full of South African Indian Food- Durban Curry, and only remembered to take a picture as we were spooning the most delicious trifle into our already sated bellies. We just could not resist! Janiece, owner of The Hoot, does such a fabulous job bringing food from around the world into our gorgeous little town. We so appreciate her, her staff and her ingenuity. Cheers!

We were in area on a Monday night and found the Hoot as an option. Was told they do a special menu every Monday night for industry night. The night we were there was Southern Food. We almost left as we aren’t big meat eaters, but we decided to stay and try out the ribs. Holy smokes. They were amazing. The bartender was also our server and he was a great person to chat with about the area and the menu. Thanks!

It was quite the hoot because our brunch service was comical from start to finish. We made a reservation for the dining room through Resy to close out our anniversary weekend. We were sat promptly but in the room where there were high top tables only (you could reserve these or outdoor dining as an alternative option). Okay, no big deal. Our hostess then informed us that they were "all out of menus" and would be back with some when available. I mean the place was busy, but there were open tables. Okay, we eventually got menus and waited several minutes to order. Our server came over about 30 mins later to inform us the "kitchen was a mess" and that they have closed the restaurant 1h30mins early. Overheard him telling another table that it was not because they were too busy but that the kitchen "messed up". I am guessing the food and beverage order? To save some time on this review, the food took about 45 mins to arrive (eggs, toast, potatoes, sausage, wife got bacon). The food came out luke warm to cold. The only thing sort of hot were the potatoes. They were out of english muffins (that means none of the benedicts), out of biscuits (no biscuits and gravy). They have a self-serve cofee bar, which is a good idea but they ran out of coffee (many patrons asked for it repeatedly), ran out of tea, ran out of many other drinks (we overheard other customers going through the list of things they attempted to order). We noticed that other tables had carafes of water and asked another staff member. She apologized that we did not get one...guess why? They were out of carafes. She did locate one and brought us some water. Then we waited and waited for our check. We went up to the bar/host area where the staff was socializing and enjoying drinks or maybe drinking their sorrows away. We felt like we were interrupting, requesting that we pay our bill so we could leave. Our server checked us out with a touch of attitude. I hope he shares his tips with the food runners and hosts because he really did not deserve a dime. Obviously they were going through some issues today and can only review based off my experience today, but it was not good....not even average. I forgot to add the cobwebs, flies and spiders all around the window casings were very off putting, but we stayed to give it a chance. We should have taken the first few signals and left within the first few minutes. This place has promise, but they were way off the mark today.

Amazing food - we came here for the first time in 2021 and we’re amazed by the lemon ricotta pancakes. It was so good we had to come back for a 2nd time and it did not disappoint. Blueberry pancakes were out of this world as well as both of our “classik breakfast” plates. Great atmosphere right off Route 1 and very friendly staff. Love the self serve coffee station too! Thank you

Although we had no reservations, owner greeted us as we were seated right away and told us what was bought fresh that morning. The waitress gave recommendations and answered our questions. The food was phenomenal!! The owner circled back to check us, the waitress also. The dining room was lovely, the staff was lovely, the food was lovely. I can’t wait to go back!

My wife and I stopped for brunch on our way from Bath to Acadia Bay Inn in Sullivan. We ate on the lovely outdoor patio/deck. The brunch menu is very creative with many riffs on eggs benedict among other delights. We enjoyed the brunch so much we returned two nights later (1hr 10 min drive each way) for their Monday dinner that features Mexican food using Maine ingredients. The salsas, in particular, were excellent. You know the cooking is good when everything on the plate tastes great! When you want something different from the usual Maine seafood, the Hoot is the place to go.

What a great breakfast surprise! We aren't brunch people, we are breakfast people so up until now we haven't been to The Hoot other than for dinner. But now....its a whole new story as they are opening at 7:00 am on some weekdays. Menu has egg classics and waffles, donuts, home made hash. Totally yum. This is a farm to table restaurant and everything really seemed to be home made. Coffee is self serve with a "select your mug" rack. I love this model because there are three different organic coffees at the coffee station and I can refill whenever I am ready. Breakfast items were all delish. Service was great. Fast and friendly. Nice tables, beautiful artwork by local artists adorn the walls. Parking was good but we were early. I have seen a full lot many times so be ready for a tight squeeze. This place is definitely worth the visit!

The ambiance was awesome here! The food was super flavorful but the toast was a little rubbery. The banana pineapple bread was soft and delicious! The service was pretty darn slow though. If the service had been better I'd given a 4 star review.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by the host who let us know it would be just a few minutes and to please help ourselves to some coffee. They have a table setup with a variety of coffees and a bookcase filled with mismatching coffee mugs. This is brilliant and I wish more breakfast spots would copy. My husband and I split a couple of dishes because everything sounded too delicious to just attempt one taste. Both meals rose to the occasion. I believe they change out their menu with seasonal flavors. We enjoyed fresh blueberry pancakes and honeybun french toast. Everything was fresh and I don't think we left even a drop on our plates. The restaurant itself is quaint and feels almost barn-like on the inside. It's very open with tall ceilings. There is an outdoor seating area as well.

First time here. First weird thing was that when we walked in, it wasn't even half full and the hostess sat us at a tiny two-top in the middle of the room, when there were several four-tops open by the windows. Not a big deal, just kinda weird. We sat there for about 10 min before the waitress came to take our drink order. We wanted iced tea. The menu is very vague about the flavors of the tea, and instead makes a big deal of the brand of the tea. I ordered "green" tea. It took another 5-10 min before it arrived. The waitress dropped them off and then turned to leave. I had to stop her and ask if we could order. Mind you, it was not busy, and we had already been sitting there 20min. Again, not a huge deal but kinda weird. The menu only had breakfast items in spite of it being 12:30pm. Apparently they only serve brunch, dinner occasionally but never lunch. I ordered the one thing that wasn't breakfast (hamburger). When I tried the tea, it had so many other flavors in it and was so lemony that I couldn't drink it. The waitress never came by to see how we were doing. Finally the food was dropped off by someone from the kitchen. I kept waiting for the waitress to come by so I could order something else to drink. Finally I flagged down the kitchen worker who had brought us our food and asked for a club soda. When she brought it, there was literally not a single bubble in it. It was like flat water. So, $4 for a glass of still water. The burger was good, the fries were soft and not crispy at all. The waitress only came by one more time, when we were almost finished. And then we had to flag her down for the check. All in all, decent food but horrible service. I would give it another try, hoping that it was just a bad waitress and not indicative of the whole staff. The patio looks very cute, and you can hear (but not see) a rushing stream adjacent to the restaurant.

Service, ambiance and food 5 stars. We recently had a fabulous Middle Eastern dinner. Ordered the lamb with Orzo... mouth watering with incredible taste snd texture, falafel (Best ever and as a New Yorker of the Jewish persuasion I've eaten a lot of falafel) was incredibly moist. The accoutrements that went with it were outstanding and tasty as well. The three of us shared those two entrées as well as the beet salad which was scrumptious. The cocktails were fabulous... We enjoyed the margaritas which were fruity, flavorful and refreshing . For dessert, we shared the chocolate Babka . Don't tell my Bubbie that it was even better than hers. The only disappointment is that they close for the season, and that's what makes the place extra special for us . See you next year !

After one negative experience here, I had become disillusioned, but clearly it was just an off day and not indicative of this restaurant overall. When we return this year, Service was fantastic and attentive, and the food was just as wonderful as ever. The atmosphere and vibe is lovely for brunch or dinner and the cocktails are always on point, check it out!

This is a great spot. Travelling through the area and found this place and were lucky enough to get a table on a Sun around noon. They had seating on the patio outside (which looked inviting) and comfortable spots inside as well. My bride ordered the North African Green Shakshuka ($15) and enjoyed the dish but thought it was a little too watery and should have been served in a bowl so the pita wasn't wet/soggy. I ordered the Smoked Salmon Omlete ($17) and it was a great choice. It's a very chill atmposhere and they do a great job creating a comfortable dining experience. Service from Kaylen and the entire team was super friendly!

Great service and delicious food. I had the shashuka. The eggs were perfect, the sauce was very tasty. Less spicy than I like in my shashuka, but tasty. 4 stars because I was missing the heat, but then again, I'm cantankerous and old. We also ordered the Vietnamese noodle bowl. Again perfect eggs, and a delicious and refreshing sauce. Great Maine blueberry bread and cider donut. Perfect Belgian waffle with maple vanilla whipped cream and a hearty delicious hash and eggs dish. Super fun cocktails amid a bucolic setting.

Amazing! I love how you just pick a mug and help yourself to coffee. The staff was delightful and the food was delicious! It felt like home in that I got to enjoy coffee by the window in a beautifully decorated room.. but an amazing restaurant in that I was served a tasty meal that I didn't have to cook!

Breakfast wasn't bad, but it wasn't top notch either. I had Cajun Shrimp Benedict. The eggs were overcooked, the English muffins were barely toasted, the side potatoes were undercooked, and I had to search for the Hollandaise sauce. The shrimp were, however, nicely spicy.

Started off with the banana pineapple bread. It was toasted, warm and it only lasted on the plate but a few minutes! It was delicious! The omelettes were filled with fresh ingredients and were so tasty. Fresh tomatoes, sausage, cheese...mmm. The potatoes were delicious too especially since I'm not a big eater of potatoes at breakfast, but I couldn't stop eating them. The Focaccia bread was warm, soft and plentiful.

We finally made it to The Hoot after moving here 3 1/2 years ago, and I wish we'd have gone much sooner. We love the vibe of rustic wood beams, sky lights, and beautiful window light. Brunch on Friday had many choices and it was hard to choose. We started with a bloody mary (him) and cider press (me). They were delicious. Then for entrees we chose Smoked Ham Benedict (him) and Swiss Omelet (me), with a side salad. All was just perfect, we could really tell that the ingredients were premium and preparation was top notch. The omelet was full of yummy mushrooms and cheese. We liked having the coffee bar available to top off our mugs whenever we wanted. We ended with delightful, warm cider doughnuts outside (it was a warm Nov. 4th!) with a final cup of coffee. Our server was attentive and warm. We will make this a regular place, but sadly we have to wait until next season.

We were a large group of 16. How they get all that food out hot at the same time is a mystery to me. Delicious homegrown ingredients, locally sourced. Took a bit of time to get drinks out, but the waiters was very busy. I really enjoyed their food, and homemade hot sauce.

Surprised by how good the side of kimchi was --- further along on the fermentation process, mellow flavor, and good mix of salt, spice and tang. Enjoyed the eggs benedict and preferred it without using the "hollandaise" sauce. Pancakes were delicious but a little overly sweet for me. Husband really enjoyed it though! Service was slow, which is expected when places are understaffed. Super nice though and patient even though our table and the large one a little ways over were still there after official closing time.

Great food, nice servers, inviting atmosphere, however we waited for about 30 minutes for a table and then when we were seated we waited for about 45 minutes or more for the food. It was a very slow experience. Again, good food.

Great place alongside of Hwy 1, south of Belfast. Breakfast and brunch entrees were delicious - try the huevos rancheros. Outdoor patio is excellent, but the indoor seating is perfectly pleasant with windows opened. Come and sit a while - the kitchen prepares it just right, but isn't in a hurry (which is ok).

We returned for their Tuesday night dinner option. It is likely different each week so will only say the service and food were exceptional. It is a true farm to table experience and prices were very reasonable. Appreciated both the larger entree option (fried chicken, waffles, bean side, and sautéed greens) and smaller plates (gumbo, ribs & Mac n cheese, fried green tomatoes, etc.). Delicious menu options. The exceptional service came with the host ensuring our gluten intolerant party member also was provided the fried chicken entree as an option. She called ahead the day before and I was blown away by the consideration given. So glad we returned on our week long stay in the mid coast area.

I grew up in downeast Maine and have been to many restaurants in Maine throughout my life, this one is a gem and stands head and shoulders above them all. I now live in California where the cuisine is top notch wherever you go and The Hoot would stand out here too. We went here for breakfast and the smoked salmon benedict was amazing. The hollandaise sauce was the best I've ever had. Eggs were perfectly poached and the potatoes were seasoned incredibly well. If I lived in Maine near The Hoot it would be my weekly go-to for any meal. The quality and variety of the food makes this place a unique restaurant in Maine.

We ate at The Hoot twice today. First, we did take-out for brunch. Hubby got the delicious Breakfast Burrito, and I made the mistake of ordering two cider donuts. They are huge, so one was plenty! :-) It was delicious, although just a teeny bit dry in the thickest parts. Still, I snarfed it down. I still prefer 'county fair' cider donuts--smaller, more cake-like and melt-in-your-mouth tender. The Hoot's donuts were very good, but not 'fair donut' good. The Monday dinner menu was intriguing, so we decided to give it a try. It was Korean night. On Mondays, they have a single entree, and then a number of small plates. The menu is more limited, so if you're not inclined to the entree, you might opt to go 'tapas' style. We were both eager to try the Bibimbap with Bulgogi Beef ($25). The food was tasty, but it missed the mark on two fronts. First, Bibimbap is great not only because of the flavors, but the way it is prepared and served. It's usually served in a sizzling hot bowl, so as you eat, the rice on the bottom forms this crispy brown crust that also incorporates the flavors from the ingredients and sauces. It would have been EASY to crisp up the rice in a hot pan, giving it that crunch and warmth and then topping it with the tasty morsels of carrot, greens, sprouts, Bulgogi and shiitake mushrooms and give it that extra flavor, texture and authenticity. The Hoot's Bibimbap, while tasty, had none of that authenticity or soul. It's served at room temperature. It's not hot, it's not cold, and it's not quite Bibimbap. However, the Bulgogi beef was meltingly tender and tasty, and the Gochujang sauce was so very yummy. The second miss was the fried egg. It was fried almost hard. It's great when you have a softly fried egg on top of the Bibimbap where you break the yolk and it runs down and mixes with the other ingredients. Having a floppy, overcooked, flabby fried egg on top was kind of grossly unappetizing. While these issues with the food didn't fully detract from enjoying the meal, I found the service to be wholly lackluster. Our server never once checked on us after serving our meal. She came back after we were finished. I also asked her specifically not to put any onions or scallions on my Bibimbap, and of course, both our bowls came garnished with scallions. To her credit, she did offer to remake mine. But I wasn't about to wait another 20 minutes for them to remake my meal due to a few scallions, and, well, I wasn't about to ask them to remake my meal due to a few scallions. However, the server just dismissed it then and never mentioned it again. It was service with a fake smile. For dessert, we had the poached Asian pear in ginger syrup and black peppercorn with cinnamon ice cream. That was the star of the evening. The flavors together were outstanding. I almost licked the bowl! I found that the quality of food was good (albeit a bit pricey for what you get), but the lackluster service and the few details that missed the mark make me give The Hoot four stars instead of five. The food is tasty, but lacks attention to the fine details, and the service can use some work. And c'mon guys, learn to fry an egg the way it should be fried, okay? Rubber eggs are unappetizing any way you plate it. ***** Went back again this morning to try their brunch. The Lemon Ricotta pancakes were really delicious, with a lovely orange zest compound butter and maple syrup. The texture was fabulous--light, but dense as well due to the ricotta. It was almost like marrying a pancake and a crepe. The Peach Bellini was tasty--not too sweet. Service was much better, but we were seated and served by one of the owners/managers. I think the gal we had the other night was just phoning it in. If I could, I would up my rating to 4.5 stars.

I don't want to be a party pooper and NOT give this treasured local spot 5 stars, but I reserve that rating for restaurants that are a true destination, or superlative in some other way. The Hoot is a great neighborhood farm-to-table restaurant and bar with a terrific brunch menu. However I don't think it's worth going far out of your way, particularly for dinner. Kudos to The Hoot for the fresh ingredients and daily changing menus, for great brunch items and a world class cider donut, but the "themed" nights are a tax on the chef's skills and creativity. Recent Jamaican and Mexican nights reminded me that it might be better to just stick with brunch. Nothing terrible about the dinner experience, but nothing terribly inspired either.

We were so excited to finally eat at the Hoot! Monday night was Mexican theme night. Our original reservation was for 3 people but we went down to 2 people. This didn't seem to effect us being seated. We arrived on time and we're seated right away to an inside table near back of restaurant. What we didn't know was that the table was right next to the employee bathroom. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive. We ordered our margaritas and they were delicious. However with in a short time an employee came and used the bathroom. The smell drifted to our table and lingered for quite sometime. Windows were open but it still seemed to put a bad taste in our meal when it arrived. I brought this to attention of our waitress and she said she would address it. Our check was delivered but nothing was said as we left. I honestly just wanted to bring this to their attention so it wont happen to someone else. We are pretty easy people not wanting anything for free just know our experience was tainted do to this situation. Suggestion is to put a really good fan in there or move. the table. Food was good as well as service but we should have sat outside. We were never offered that.

After having driven past it a few times, we finally gave it a try and my husband said it best, "It's one of the best meals I've had since we moved here." So many interesting items on the menu made it difficult to choose. Joyful service. My brunch was so good I over ate and it was worth it. Loved the patio!!! And the inside was bright and light and modern and I look forward to returning during the colder months. Grateful to have this place as a local option.

This farm to table brunch is an absolute must! The service was excellent and the food was phenomenal. Great brunch cocktails - highly recommend the coffee with Piemonte. The peanut butter maple syrup on the Belgian waffle was a favorite. The mushroom and spinach omelet was incredibly fresh and tasty! Kids loved the apple cider donut and fresh squeezed juices. Very accommodating, sitting out on the deck surrounded by flowers and trees was a delight!

The Hoot has come a long way with their food since I first sampled their fare. When they are on point , their food is really great , arguably some of the best in mid coast. The trouble I have with the Hoot is twofold. First and foremost , they are clueless on how to manage a dining room, and at the busiest times , staff move like snails, leave multiple tables dirty , and take forever to clean and reset a table. They only take reservations for parties of six, which is dumber than a bag of lug nuts. I assume this is because people do no shows. So what, demand a credit card snd charge $25 if they do a no show, give up their table after 15 minutes. Secondly , and most significant, their food and service are both wildly inconsistent. If you're lucky , you'll get a great meal with decent service, if not, you'll be feeling abused and wish you had selected a happy meal instead of the hellish experience of terrible food and lack luster service. Sad really, I wish someone would figure out how to run the place professionally.

Wow. This roadside gem blew us out of the water! We stopped in for their weekend brunch and fell in love with the rustic refined ambiance and the stellar food. Their menu was an absolute dream, it was so difficult to choose our meals. We started with the spicy Maria...finally something really spicy in Maine! We then had the biscuit sandwich with fried chicken, piri piri sauce and braised greens. Holy layers! The biscuit was perfectly flaky and the piri piri sauce added such an interesting flavor to a run of the mill brunch staple. The Mexican Benedict was top notch. One of the best Bennys in maine! And don't sleep on the apple cider donut. Fresh and delicious! Can't wait to come back for one of their themed dinners!

The food was good, but not sure it was "wait well over an hour" good. Probably short-staffed but honestly, it felt almost started to feel like we were in a Twilight Zone episode. We ordered the Red Flannel hash and the Basic breakfast plus blueberry pancakes. All tasted fresh and very good. The pancakes are heavy on the lemon zest, which I thought was tasty, but if you don't like lemon, something to keep in mind. Very few blueberries, as in, hubby once exclaimed, "Ooooh! A blueberry!" All in all, maybe if you catch them when there's no crowd, you'll have an all-around good experience.

Adorable little restaurant off Route 1. They were very accommodating in my request to change up the breakfast sandwich a bit, omitted bacon, added hollandaise. Hollandaise wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was good. The focaccia bread was really tasty. But my favorite part of breakfast was sharing the homemade donut. It was still warm and so tasty.

The Best New Restaurant in midcoast Maine in some time. On Route One, Northport ME. Lovely gray shingles outside, sophisticated muted gray blues inside. This place is farm-to-table for real: they grow the duck, chickens, beef, lambs, pastured pork on their nearby organic farm. Other ingredients from local small organic farms and The Hoot's own raised beds out front. Every entree is first rate. The cocktails are crafted by John, a master at it. Great smart quick service by a team who cares.

The food here is 4.5 stars. Can't give it five because I've only been once. But I loved my smoked salmon benedict. Of course, it's sourced locally (Lincolnville- Duck Trap) as is everything on the menu. I also enjoyed my prickly pear mimosa, though they did make my cousin and I a regular mimosa by mistake initially. Not a huge deal, but it took forever for them to re-make the drinks. And there's the rub - the service here is slow. Expect a leisurely brunch if you eat here. I think it took us 90 min to get in and out. Other than that, it was a lovely brunch in a cute, old house.

Went out of our way to try this place based on previous reviewers. SO worth the trip. Apple cider donut to start was warm and flawless. Tuscan breakfast was flavorful and authentic. Outdoor patio was warm and inviting. We will be back for sure

Hoots has always been very good. Last night it was simply excellent. Jon is a fantastic host in the old-school manner that I appreciate, which seems rare around Belfast and Searsport these days. He is also a master bartender. Amazing margarita! The food was at a level I have never experienced around this area. The chicken mole was perfect, I couldn't imagine it being better. Great waitress. This place just gets better. And the new level in Mexican food is a godsend. We can only be thankful.

Lovely spot for inventive farm to table cuisine and excellent cocktails. A bit pricey but worth it.
