About the restaurant
Novio’s is an inspired bistro offering a small and selective menu that includes items that are representative of the education, training, travels and experiences of our team.  We feature meats & seafood and produce from local farms, fisherman and other purveyors. The menu offers vegetarian and gluten free options, beautiful soups and salads, and fresh pasta. Novio’s offers a full service bar that showcases an elegant yet approachable wine list, craft beers, and signature cocktails and an extensive scotch & bourbon list. Items on the menu change often as our team becomes inspired by the stories of experiences had by our guests. While guests seated at tables and booths order from the four course menu with an optional wine pairing guests that book reservations at the bar have an option of ordering à la carte.

About the restaurant
Our contemporary New England cuisine has been rooted in the local and seasonal long before they were the mots du jour on menus across the country. At our AAA Five Diamond, Forbes Five Star restaurant, we showcase incredible ingredients sourced through specially cultivated relationships with the farmers, fishermen and foragers of coastal Maine and just beyond for beautifully-presented, always inspired dishes that encapsulate the very essence of our spectacular setting.

We have a smart casual dress code; jackets are preferred, but not required. Shorts, sportswear, and flip-flops are forbidden in the dining room.

About the restaurant
Havana has been committed to serving local and organic meats, produce and seafood since it opened 25 years ago. All of our meats are “naturally raised” meaning no steroids, antibiotics or hormones and “humanely raised” meaning room to roam, proper shelter and gentle handling. We make every effort to buy only sustainably harvested seafood, primarily from the Gulf of Maine. We have consistently searched out New England farmers and fisherfolk to purchase product that is not only great tasting but great for the environment and local economy as well.

About the restaurant
Bringing some LA vibes to the northeast. REGARDS draws inspiration from the diverse food culture of Los Angeles. We highlight flavor profiles from Japan and Mexico with the freshest of Maine produce and products.

The menu at REGARDS has bright, zippy ceviches and crudos, rich tamales, plump Argentinian shrimp tacos, along with mezcal cured hamachi collars, crab rice and grilled cabbage with caesar.

Clarified lime margaritas with eucalyptus or our gin and sotol martinis with hibiscus pair with our adventurous menu. We pour natural wine and have a large selection of curated mezcals and tequilas.

A place for us and for you. Might not make sense, but it sure is delicious. Across the street from Reny's. Nearby Maine College of Art, Portland Stage Company, State Theatre, Empire Comedy Club and Blue Jazz Club.

Winter regards for dinner with the family and completely forgot to look before we went if they had a kids menu, they did not, but they were able to accommodate and took care of our kids. We chose this place because everything on the menu looked real interesting and we were very curious about some of the combinations And we came away enjoying everybody of every dish we had. Would highly recommend to anybody in Portland.

About the restaurant
Modern Barn is the place you go to spend time around a table with the people you love, a place to call home. Modern Barn welcomes you to enjoy its delicious American fare, friendly service, and an unparalleled cozy atmosphere. Our menu consists of classic comfort dishes with a modern flair.

Modern Barn can be experienced in many ways. Spend an evening in our wine room featuring 175 bottles of wine, 100 available by the glass, enjoy our vast collection of craft beers and contemporary cocktails; and dinner after a day on the slopes or golf course. Winner of the 2021 Wine Spectator Award.

Even if you’re just dropping by for a drink, you’ll feel right at home among our neighbors, so grab a seat and stay a while…slow sippers allowed.

Great overall - only that some of the dishes were so drenched in sauce that it was overpowering.
