We were thrilled to find out that Utopia was open on a Monday!
We were back in Maine on a short getaway.
From start to finish, our meal was perfect.
It was a fine dining experience from amazing mock tails to cocktails. All made with fresh ingredients.
We were never rushed through our meals, but not ever ignored by Justin or the wait staff.
The main courses did not disappoint!
My husband had a steak that was presented to perfection and the flavor was mouthwatering.
I had the Eggplant Rollatini. It was remarkable also in flavor and texture.
Hats off to Chef Greg on an amazing dining experience! From taste, texture, flavor, to presentation!
I have to say that we both love to cook, and fresh ingredients are so important.
That is certainly what Utopia has to offer.
We will definitely be back sooner than later to have this very special dining experience again.

I’m not someone who often leaves reviews but my fianceè and I visited Utopia this weekend for the first time and it was phenomenal! We got to meet the owner & she was incredibly sweet and told us about how she grows her own vegetables and that her mission is to prepare and serve food that is fulfilling and energizing and we couldn’t agree more! We had dinner, dessert, and drinks and had no complaints about any of them! The price point is very reasonable among the other restaurants in the area, and especially both comparable and affordable compared to those on the more upscale end of things.

The service was impeccable but beware of paying through the nose for the specials… we ordered the special appetizer chickpea and kelp fritters in a marinara sauce. They were just okay, not worth $19 for a starter. I ordered the special “vegan filet mignon” over black garlic risotto. The risotto dish was a small portion and had too much heat from the chilies. I barely touched the risotto but didn’t want to send the dish back because the vegan filet (made from jackfruit) was very special. I was shocked to see a $47 charge for that dish. Our meal was extraordinarily expensive for not a lot of food. Needless to say, I cannot recommend this restaurant wholeheartedly because of their lack of transparent pricing. However, the drinks were excellent and as long as you understand the cost of menu items clearly listed, hopefully you won’t end up as disappointed as I was.

We ordered Moussaka and Brined Duck. But duck did not smell good and Moussaka did not have enough salt. Overall, the price was so expensive than its quality.

Good food (not amazing). Good presentation. But not worth the price they’re charging. Even if it is locally sourced. Friendly staff and good service. If a restaurant charges $30-$50 for an entree, it should come with a soup or salad, or at least some bread.

My husband (culinary trained), our daughter and her husband who both manage and cook for separate restaurants and I (a self-trained Martha/Julia) were here for a day-after-Father’s Day dinner. We began with Alaskan Crab legs which were yummy and fresh along with the Shaved Ribeye Crostini.. Ribeye, whipped feta, balsamic picked red onion and roasted Roma tomatoes. Tender, tasty and terrific!
Also ordered: The Duck
Steak
Pesto gnocchi with Prawns
Fried chicken with lots of spices.
The Duck? Scrummy.
Steak? Superb.
The chicken? Delicious and tender.
The Prawns with presto gnocchi? The gnocchi was lovely, not so the prawns. A bit dry. Overall the accompaniments to the main dish were well planned and executed with just the right amount of zing and zang. The presentation was spot on.
We ended our meal with 2 canolli’s or is it 2 canolli? Regardless, they were delicious and had just enough sweetness and creaminess to top offa meal that I would taste overall, an 8.
I was surprised at how slow it was (good for us as we didn’t need to wait for anything) but disappointed in how dirty the rest room was. Glad they don’t cook in there as it didn’t affect our meal. Lol
Go, enjoy, have fun.

OMG this has got to be the best restaurant in Bangor. Justin was the absolute best server and his recommendations were phenomenal. The risotto, steak, crostini’s, everything were outstanding! Farm to table and when they say farm to table he means it. Everything down to the grenadine is scratch made!!

Updated: Dropped my rating from a 4 to a 2 after the owner tracked me down on Instagram AFTER arguing with me here after I left what I thought was a very fair review. Definitely won’t go back nor recommend to friends.

Original review: Cozy restaurant offering a limited menu of Mediterranean/Greek options. I really wanted to give Utopia 5 stars. I love Greek food, and the atmosphere is really nice inside.

Pros: the spinach pie was excellent, topped with crispy phyllo.

Neutral: The Utopia appetizer plate was okay. Nice housemade hummus accompanied by warm naan. Uninspired tomatoes and cucumbers adorned the plate, along with some pickled cucumbers and peppers, which we enjoyed. The falafel was dry. I would have enjoyed some stuffed grape leaves and other traditional Greek appetizers on the plate. Maybe some nice olives?

I was thoroughly confused by the chicken parmesan on the menu. Although my husband ordered it and enjoyed it. The portion was HUGE! Easily enough for 2 or even 3 people. But that definitely isn’t Greek and isn’t even Mediterranean. It’s American, but for lack of souakibor gyros on the menu, that’s what he settled on.

The portions were large enough that we didn’t have room for dessert, but did ask to see the menu. Pumpkin cheesecake, chocolate cake, baklava and cannoli? Again, I was confused by the cannoli, cheesecake, etc.

I would have liked to see more traditional Greek dishes. There was a duck entree that looked interesting, as well as mushroom pasta and butternut squash ravioli. Again, not anything expected from a Greek restaurant.

We had a nice meal, but I felt it was overpriced. 2 glasses of house wine, the appetizer plate, chicken parmesan and spanikopita came to $124 before the tip. I’m not sure we’ll go back. Bangor doesn’t have a ton of choices when it comes to fine dining, but sadly Utopia won’t be added to our rotation. Opa in Waterville isn’t too far, has a much more varied menu of Greek food, and we’ve enjoyed meals there far more.

Hands down, the best restaurant in town. If you haven’t dined here, you are truly missing out on a culinary delight. I travel for work and every time I visit Bangor, I arrange my schedule to dine here. The food is always amazing, the atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming and the staff is always exceptional!

2nd visit, was expecting more since my first visit was delicious. Everything was decent but felt the Waiter came back to our table way too many times. Felt like he might have just been a bit too eager and nervous. Delicate balance surely, just let people breathe from afar..felt rushed. The salmon was excellent, the Shrimp pot was way too over done with Cilantro. Great atmosphere and will return for the gyro again.
