Have loved Fore Street for many years! The best and most comfortable restaurant we’ve ever been to. The ambiance is delightful, so warm and cozy. The employees are all professional and friendly. And the food is superb, esp the incredible salads and veggies. If I could, I’d have every meal at Fore Street! More

We had a wonderful New Year's eve at David's Opus 10. It was our first time dining there and we were so delighted with the food. My favorites were tuna carpaccio with quail egg and truffles (this was actually a substitution for beef carpaccio and it worked perfectly!) and a really thoughtful halibut dish served with truffle micro greens over shredded potatoes (the flavors worked well together). I don't eat red meat or chicken, and the substitutions they gave me were fantastic. I recommend the wine pairing- they were well suited to the dishes. This is one of the best meals I've had in Portland. It was pricey, but the service and food were great. More

This place is fantastic! We just moved into the area and had gotten a recommendation for this restaurant and it was delicious. The tarter sauce with the fish and chips is some of the best I've ever had. They also have a fantastic selection of beer/ciders and a great cocktail menu. More

A group of 7 of us went for dinner, everything was great from the Charcuterie board and the delicious filet all the way to our after dinner drinks! Service was good and the food came out faster then expected. Even though the waitress was busy she Appeased us by taking a few moments and getting pictures of our group and also made my husbands dessert extra special. More

Great for a date night. Cozy bar area. Dining area can be a little tight and crammed. But overall a great dining experience. The Sole Francaise accompanied with roasted potatoes and broccoli is nicely seasoned. The Lobster with butter and garlic over linguini is a great meal for someone with a big appetite. The portion sizes are reasonable for the price. We would definitely be back for another date night. More

The experience was very nice. We were intrigued with the special and asked about it prior to order, but was way too much food for just the two of us. It was great to have the recognition of our anniversary which made the night and experience that much better. More

Had a memorable mid-week lunch with an out of town friend - sat in front of a warming fireplace on a cold Maine day, our Server was amazing (engaging without imposing) and efficient. Food was great - from Oysters to Calamari to Baked Stuffed Lobsters - and servings were more than generous. Just a great lunch! More

Made a reservation for New Year's Eve, seated upstairs it was a little noisy but it was a holiday. Food was good, I had the Pub Burger, others at the table had Fish and Chips, Gnocchi Mac and Cheese and the Lamb Burger, all were very good and fairly priced. Good selection of local rotating drafts. Also, the pub area downstairs is great to walk in and get a drink. More

Dinner was great but seemed that they were a bit short-staffed on a Friday evening, was a bit of a wait to put in initial drink and food order. More

Great food and experience. We were on vacation from New Orleans and were not looking to eat Mexican, but this was one of the few places open the day after Christmas. We were definitely glad we ate here. A must try in Portland, Maine. More

We’ve been here several times. Pleasant surroundings, inventive, locally sourced menu, kind and attentive staff. I should mention that our Portland visits are generally off-season, so crowds not an issue. The Portland scene has a certain “foodie” aura in places where the chefs and staff see themselves as a priesthood---a little off-putting, given what ultimately arrives at the table. None of that is true here. More

Vinland is one of the most creative restaurants we've visited! Each dish was prepared with care and originality and taste. Wonderful flavorful food and great organic wine list. Their foods are only locally sourced! For you "gluten free" folks you have it made - a brown bread for dipping and eating! Vegan and non- vegan plates were great to try - small and large plates are offered for each preparation. Lots of choices and lots of flavor! Thank you Vinland - Portland is lucky to have you!!!! More
