Customer Reviews
The food and drinks were actually very good. The Black Cod was surprisingly flavorful, as I usually find cods to be boring. The duck meat was cooked properly, except, the skin was chewy and non edible. It would have been much better if they made the skin crispy. The crispy polenta was tasty, and paired well with the balsamic vinaigrette, although I think it would have been even better if they used a very thick balsamic as opposed to the liquidy version. The salad was fresh, nothing to complain about But many restaurants fall to the same trap: dessert. To be fair we only ordered 1 dessert but suffice to say: do not order that Dubai Chocolate Cookies. It was less than pedestrian. Your store bought Oreos probably tasted better. I hate to be harsh but it was that disappointing. But other th
This was a great stop. The staff was very sociable. The drinks were outstanding! These are among the best drinks I have had. The smell of the food walking by was mouth watering. The food was cost more than we expected. I can understand why after going in and seeing the quality that they put out. Some how my crispy polenta didn't make it into the pics but I would recommend it to anyone.
We ate at Provender Kitchen on 2nd October 2025 while visiting Ellsworth from the UK. We have eaten in some of the best restaurants in the UK and would rate our meal at Provender Kitchen as one of the best meals we have had. Both the food and drinks were exceptional. The atmosphere has a real buzz about it. The staff were very attentive and polite. We would highly recommend Provender Kitchen for an enjoyable evening out.
I would say a hidden gem of the area. But considering how busy it was at 430 im glad we made a reservation in advance. This restaurant would fit right in all downtown food cities like Boston, NYC, Chicago. Great atmosphere and 5 star food and chef. If you find yourself in Ellsworth Maine don't miss this amazing spot.
Such an amazing meal (as always) @ Provender Kitchen + Bar! Mussels, octopus, pork belly, flank steak, duck... plus fabulous cocktails made for a memorable meal! ~*All so incredibly delicious!*~ The atmosphere will not disappoint and original woodwork on the bar and booths are stunning! #MainStEllsworthMaine
