Cass Grimm: I ordered the small chowder poutine which I was told was just an appetizer size but it was huge!!! It was delicious though. And good local beer selection too, plus live music.
Restaurant Critic Who Enjoys What He Does Follow Me To Read Reviews Before Heading Out: Well done! Well done! Good variety without over complicating the menu. Meats are as fresh as they can be. Wait staff a pleasure and enjoy their work. One of my new favorites.

Tracey Zane: A little hidden gem out on the pier in Portland. Get the oysters to start, the halibut in butter sauce, and the scallops are not to miss! Great for big groups.

Christine L: We couldn't get a dinner res even weeks in advance, but we were able to walk in and order app's at the bar from a pretty extensive menu. Grilled squid, foie gras, mackerel & mussels 👌👌👌
Valerie: Brown butter banana bread, corned beef hash side and the jalapeno egg sandwich. I don't think there is a bad item on the menu. This place is definitely not good for groups.
Laurea de Ocampo: Super balanced, refined & flavorful. Got the Southeast Asian flavors down! Lobster laksa wasn't too sweet (like most laksa in the US) & had that shrimp paste funk 😍
Cass Grimm: Wow!! This place is always full and it's easy to see why. I had the "small" poutine which was more than enough for lunch for me. The gravy and cheese and fried cooked in duck fat was awesome.
Tim Luo: Best espresso drinks in the numerous places I tried. The pear scone also very good. 3 little figs in Boston is my favourite coffee shop, and they get their beans from here. Pilgrimage achieved!
Christina: Blueberry moonshine in hot apple cider...because summer and autumn 2gether 4ever. You can also taste as much as you want for free, and it all tastes delicious.
Jessi Ahart: Friday Night Dance Party is really fun. There are some who go all out 80s...some not. All ages, fun, silly and dorky dancers (with ask the love). DJ John (?) loves doing it, and it shows. :)
ZenFoodster: Great brunch/comfort food: Arnold Palmer, fried green tomatoes, gumbo+Waffle plate: over-easy eggs w/ bacon & regular syrup ($2 extra for Maine maple syrup) + a side of 2 sausage links ($3.50 extra)!
Kristopher Chavez: This is the gateway to the beautiful islands off the coast of Maine. It gets crowded between June and September so booking a private water taxi may be a better choice if you desire more privacy.
Benjamin 🚀: Good...but not great. The service is a bit slow and the atmosphere a bit dull. But...if you do stay the hamburgers 🍔 are spot and the beer 🍺 selection is very extensive. 😊🇺🇸

Katie S: The breakfast skillet with mushrooms is fantastic, as are the bloody marys. Be warned that.the bourbon hot chocolate comes very heavy on the bourbon.

Lauren: "Strong craft cocktails. The Crack Pop is to die for! It's a speakeasy, so: hard to find. It's the door between Etian Lingerie and the fitness center."
