North 43 Bistro

Great place away from the tourist crowds. We live locally and often have a tough time finding a last-minute table. They accommodated our ten-person group (with three little kids). The food was great, the service was very good. We will be back!

Good food, great service, nice setting. Got there at the end of the dinner rush and were seated immediately. Although the place was busy the server was patient with our questions and helped us with beer samples and food choices. My dish was plentiful and delicious, my wife's was on the small side and a little bland. Overall the harbor location and the service made it worthwhile.

Beautiful contemporary, clean bistro overlooking Spring Harbor Marina & Casco Bay in So. Portland, ME. Excellent surf & turf dinners while at evening business conference. (Formerly Joe's Boathouse for years)--gorgeous modern setting. Indoor & spectacular outdoor dining. Staff very professional, hardworking and quick. Don't miss this wonderful bistro.

The food was amazing! The view is great! Definitely recommend the mussels. The service was not great. I was not sure who our waitress was because it wasn’t the one who introduced herself, (maybe it is the type of place where anyone checks on you) but it felt like we were forgotten about a several times.

The atmosphere and drinks are amazing! A couple suggestions for improvement include more plant based options on the food menu as well as the elimination of plastic straws due to the restaurants close proximity of the ocean. This would be responsible and conscientious considering the issue of excessive plastic in our oceans. Thick paper straws would be a great replacement or option presented by the wait staff. That being said, this is a great addition to the neighborhood and a tasteful modern addition to the south Portland Maine waterfront.
