From Away

"The open kitchen is stunning and cozy, and Fore Street's James Beard award-winning dedication to local food is commendable. Mussels and a glass of wine at the bar are always an excellent bet."

"Try ordering one of each kind of traditional-style taqueria taco, especially the carne asada. Don't miss a visit to the homemade salsa bar, even if you have to pay extra for extra additional salsas."

"Service can be slow, but don't miss some of Portland's best Latin American cuisine. Salvadoran favorites including pupusas and braised tongue tacos are winners. Hungry? Don't miss the Plato Montanero."

"Fantastic soft serve at this classic old-fashioned Maine ice cream stand. Try a "Nor'Easter," a blended soft-serve creation, and ask to have Dunkin' Donuts Munchkins mixed in. Inexpensive, accepts CC."

"Skip the fries and the onion rings...your stomach will be happier with an extra burger, with steamed bun. Try one with red pepper relish and raw onions, and watch out for $2 "Big One" daily specials."

"Can be a little on the pricey side, but you'll be surprised how much better a lobster roll tastes when you're looking at a lighthouse. The best "dining room" on the East Coast."
