“Absolutely amazing meal. The lobster wontons and the halibut collar special were 2 of the best dishes I have eaten. Service was fantastic and prices were reasonable. We were recommended to go to this place by a local guide and were very grateful. 10/10 did recommend to a friend”

“Quick, friendly service. Great location! Street parking. Order: Happy Hour CHICKEN LEG RILLETTES WITH HOUSE MUSTARD & PICKLES $7: this was so good! Especially loved the way the bread was prepared. FRIED FISH SANDWICH $13: delicious, lite, refreshing & filling. Salad was not drenched in dressing but could be a little less salty. The pickles were a highlight with each dish. They were very sweet!”

“The burgers are awesome. Juicy and cooked perfect. Do the upgrade to the sidewinder fries. I have to say out of all the places we ate at in the New England states this one is hands down the best. Seating is limited, I saw 2 tables for 4 the rest are for 2. The staff is very sweet.”

“Love that wait staff. And the Vermont sandwich was good. Unfortunately the chicken in the Harvest Salad did not prove to be that good. The chicken's texture was unappealing and whatever spices on it definitely made it so we could not eat it. Our server was awesome when we told her. Would give them another chance but not order this salad.”

“Drove up to Portland from Boston for the day and wanted to grab some lunch. There are so many amazing options in the area and the Olive Cafe definitely deserves to be in that category. It is a small place but not cramped. We were there on an off time so seating was plentiful. But it’s a restaurant so it’s about the food. The food was simply awesome. Very fresh. The olive plate was tasty and the shawarmas were awesome. Prices were reasonable too. The waitress was awesome as well - she was very personable and gave us some great tips where to visit during our short stay. We took her suggestions and had a great day! If your in the area definitely check out this place! Yum.”

“It's been years we've been waiting for a chance to dine at Fore Street Restaurant. It did not disappoint. It is rustically charming and oddly comfortable. The service was just right -- attentive enough without being overbearing -- and our server was knowledgeable and helpful. The menu is always changing, so our tips may be of only limited help, but here goes: the seafood sampler was exquisite and a great way to start. The pork done over the wood fire was tender, moist and intense. The fish of the day came whole, cooked perfectly and garnished beautifully. Who orders chicken in a restaurant? My daughter did, and we all agreed it was among the best we had ever had (it is cooked on a rotisserie; its skin was golden crisp and the meat was tender, moist and delicious). The sides were as good as the mains. We needed the advice not to fill up on the wonderful bread from the bakery downstairs, but that took a feat of will. Strongly recommended.”

“This is more of a review from our recent wedding but wanted to share. Steve Jr and the entire staff at DiMillo’s are incredible. Such a beautiful environment. Accommodating in every way. Service is impeccable. Food was loved by all. They are incredibly easy to work and handled every aspect of our wedding perfectly. Thank you for such a phenomenal time! Was beyond anything I could have imagined. Go get you some massive shrimp, prime rib, or lobster roll! It will be amazing and you will be in an amazing place. While I’ll only get married there once, I will be back many times!”

“The food is fair but it's a shame they don't have more lobster choice. Mostly just a single small size with sides. The steamers have a little more sand in them than other places. Great clam chowder though and I'd recommend that as a starter. Good staff and nice atmosphere.”

“I love, love this restaurant. When I lived in Maine it was my place to stop at about once a week for some oysters and a cocktail up at the very beautiful bar area. I also loved their salads. I did enjoy the dining side, there is great seating, wonderful food, and amazing dessert. Staff has always been friendly and informative. Thank you.”

“Definitely a special treat restaurant, but what a treat! Food was one of the best meals I’ve had, and the waitress (who I believe was named Sarah) was so friendly and helpful! Great place.”

“Love this place! As a vegetarian, it's extremely difficult to find a nice place to eat when you visit Portland with friends, that offers something for the meat-free diner and the carnivore. This place has an abundance of both, and we are so thankful that they exist! My favorite is the Mac & Cheese; it's especially great with added broccoli. My husband gets the Black Bean Burger and says it's great. The nachos are already vegetarian as is and are probably the best nachos I've had in a long time. Their hummus platter is good, too. They have a nice selection of beer and hard cider; Downeast is the best. We can't wait to visit again during our next trip.”

“Our dinner started slowly but Robin corrected course and provided attentive service. Gilbert's clam chowder was serviceable but could have been hotter. Their sides, an excellent ear of corn, for late in the season, combined with onion rings, that were tasty with a light batter, were a refreshing change. Our main course, lobsters, were prepared properly and were an excellent value. Overall Gilbert's did well”

“Fantastic restaurant and pub that's worth the price uptick. Atmosphere is great. You can pick to stay on the ground floor, which is a darker pub setting, or go upstairs for a view of the bay in a much-more lit area. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Menu has a bit of variety. I ended up getting the maple duck burger, which was fantastic. Even the salad, which I expected to be wimpy, was textured and full. The seafood chowder is worth it as well... very flavorful! Full menu of whiskies separated by region and by type. That screams out a place that knows what it's serving, which also means it will have a variety that should please most people. The prices are up there, but you also get a generous pour (about two drams-worth). I also saw something online that looked like a menu for dogs... which I thought was pretty cool. Worth a stop!”

“I rarely find restaurants worth their wait times. Flatbread is a notable exception, and I never mind waiting 30-60 minutes for a table. The atmosphere and service is always so uplifting and lively - you feel like you're instantly among a huge group of friends. But even more than that, the pizza is incredible! Whether you go with a classic or one of their seasonal specials, you won't be disappointed. Solid beer and dessert choices to boot.”

“I love this place in the summer, especially on Sundays! Great, large patio over the water, a decent crowd and typically good live music. I've only sat inside a few times, but it's enough to say I definitely prefer the outdoor area. I don't know if it's the style they are looking for, but its a little rundown for my taste. Food is a fair price and decent. The Cajun fish tacos on blue corn tortillas are my favorite. However, it feels like the portion of fish has decreased over the past couple of summers. Very friendly servers, even when they are clearly busy, they still put in the extra effort and it shows. I will certainly be back for the patio, drinks, and summer fun!”

“Discreet restaurant. Very unassuming location. Seemed hidden. Feels like geared for the few but for everyone. Great food! We were looking for a grilled swordfish and they were only one of the few that offered it. Try it. Pricey but it is worth it... food and service!!”

“You need to try this new hidden gem! Absolutely the best. A local had recommend this after he went out to try it the previous night. The place was beautiful, on the water, and the staff was just great. Food and drinks were on point. They know what they're doing.”

“I was recommended this place by a couple of my Uber passengers a while back and I am just getting around to trying it out. The atmosphere was a pleasantly well kept, modern, and comfortable. I couldn’t find my “go to” General Tsao Chicken dish, so I asked the waitress who immediately obliged. It was hands down the BEST version I’ve ever had. Super healthy portion. Amazing spices. Received my order very quickly. Price was reasonable. Definitely going again.”

“My wife and I went to dinner before a concert. If you are a larger group, expect to wait for a table. They will take your phone number so you don't have to sit and wait. If you have one or two for dinner, there may be immediate room at the bar. The food was amazing with lots of flavor. Pick a couple dishes per person and share all with the party. My wife and I shared 3 dishes and had enough to eat and saved room for dessert. The dessert balls are golf ball size and and packed with flavors, like coconut and peanut butter. Not your traditional dessert, but try something different and you won't regret it. $1.58 each, so take one of each.”
