The view alone is worth the experience. The breakfast buffet offers both a good variety and fresh food. There is an omelette station that prepares eggs any way you can imagine. The staff made sure my coffee cup was never empty (which is a big plus for me). The price was a little high for a breakfast buffet.
I do recommend this stop when in Bar Harbor.

This is the restaurant inside the Holiday Inn Resort (formerly the Bar Harbor Regency Hotel). Normally, I'm not a big fan of hotel restaurants but this was the 2nd time on this trip that I ended up eating in the hotel restaurant -- both times it was late and I didn't feel like going out looking for another restaurant.

La Bella Vita is an Italian restaurant (as if you couldn't guess that from it's name) and this appears to be 1 of 4 locations in resort hotels.

We started off with the Tuscan salad which was really good followed by the Rigatoni Genovese which was was also very good. The service was good but not over the top / the setting was wonderful with views of the water for a short period before it got dark. Once the sun set -- there was nothing to see.

As hotel restaurants go -- this was about average. The food was very good, the service was O.K. But -- for the price -- I expected a little better. It was a bit on the pricey side. Good place to eat if you don't want to leave the hotel.

In a very nice setting overlooking the water and separate from the hotel itself. We both had the lobster and it was very good. Excellent service and assistance with the lobster, if needed.

While staying at the Bar Harbor Regency, dinner here seemed appropriate. Italian flare meals were well presented and well prepared. The Tuscan Salad, Chicken Piccata, and Chicken Parm were all decent size portions and very filling. The dining room has absolutely beautiful views overlooking Frenchman Bay. The waitstaff was friendly and accommodating.
