Tonight for Valentines Day my girlfriend and I enjoyed one of the most delicious meals I’ve had in Portland. The menu was superb, from the truly divine oxtail ragout with butternut squash ravioli to the bacon wrapped rabbit with celeriac purée & caramelized carrots. And that’s just what I had. The service was, as lauded, the most excellent I’ve had to date. Every detail was perfectly executed and attended too. 5 out 5, veramente fantastico! Grazie!

Came here on a Saturday evening based on its reputation as one of the best restaurants in Portland. It held up to its reputation! A quaint place, we had barside reservations and reservations are your best bet. Starting off with Truffle Popcorn that was addictive were ordered the Bangs Island Mussels. The Jus was perfect. For dinner, my Duck breast was perfectly cooked as well has her Salmon. We had to enjoy dessert as the evening was going perfectly. Our server, Chris at the bar, was nothing short of great! All wait staff as... read more

Several of my friends and I recently dined here. Two of us had the scallops. We got 3 scallops for $38.00, two on the small size of large and 1 medium which we found to be insulting. The bacon overwhelmed the risotto and the green beans were so hard they were inedible, We also had hearts of romaine which was extremely limp and not much of it. One had filet mignon which he liked and mussels which he said were very good. Another had salmon which was good but not great and another lamb chops which he found to be good but ordina... read more

I celebrated an anniversary here and the food was absolutely amazing with service that was exceptional. The mussels and the broth were the best we ever had. The main course lobster was simply mouth watering. We were pleasantly surprised with the desert dish decorated with a chocolate 'Happy Anniversary'. Am looking forward to going here again!
