"Ned Ludd is not just one of Portland's great restaurants--it is one of America's most vibrant. It brings with it an entire ethos of eating, and as much as one can find such places in the Big 3 cities, it is so very pleasant to find a place like this, a locavore, nose-to-tail eatery that does as much food production as possible in-house, in a midsized town like Portland. To pull off such a concept takes dedication and focus; to pull off such food from one wood fired oven takes inspiration and not a little bit of chutzpah. Revel in the humor of the food, trust Chef French's unerring food instincts, and be aware that you're in the presence of some seriously inspired food. The more you know about food, the more it impresses."

"We found the food at Ned Ludd to be of very high quality, well-prepared, and well-presented. However, we also found a little too rustic and somewhat unsatisfying overall."

"Very interesting menu. Having an open mind to try new and surprising combination of ingredients is essential. Everything was exceedingly flavorful and perfectly prepared. Our party of three tried three "bits", two of the entrees, of which one was vegetarian, and two desserts (yum!). The "reuse" decorating vibe is eclectic and comfortable. It was a wonderful experience! Would be great summer dining experience, too."

"Its not the Four Seasons. They have things the Four Seasons couldn't touch, though. I love the place, and have been going there for a couple of years. Consistent, innovative, and beyond excellent, packaged in a quirky style that doesn't immediately reveal its greatness. I admire their subtle ambiance. Brilliant food, Portland's finest."

"We went for and early dinner for my husband's birthday with our two girls - ages 2 and 6 months. The staff could not have been more wonderful and accommodating - going so far as to bring a lovely plate of cheese and fruit for our older daughter almost immediately after we sat down. The food was fresh, inventive, and beautifully prepared, and the ambiance so, so lovely."
