The first thing our waitress told us that ordering was like ordering tapas. OK, I am in. The place was packed, but we were served quickly. They tell you that things come out at different times. No problem. My husband ordered the bacon. I wanted to order another plate; and then another. You get about 4 or 5 strips. Next came the Fried Tomato salad. Excellent with a lot of flavor. The final dish was the Bone Marrow Toast. You get a Texas size cut in half piece of toast that is loaded with a concoctoin of meaty and earthy flavors. Drinks are different and off the chain. Very happy that we worked this restaurant in our schedule.

Stopped here on our first night into Portland. As expected for a Friday night, it was mobbed and we had an hour plus wait. Got some seats at the bar and befriended another couple which passed the time. Ordered the house salad each and shared the large Casco flatbread which was perfect. Good service and food was delicious. Highly recommend for a casual dinner.

Based on our visit here 18 months ago, we were looking forward to dinner at Back Bay Grill. We were disappointed by the food and the service. Our mains arrived 50 minutes after our starters and several dishes were cold. When a server puts a plate in front of you clutching it in a napkin, you think âhot plateâ. When itâs actually cold, you think âfood theatreâ. Even the coffee was served at room temperature. This was a weeknight. No unusual crowd. Whatâs up?

Becky's diner is a must when you're in Portland. It is a true "local" restaurant with great service, a very friendly and welcoming staff, upstairs dining with a view and without question an absolute amazing lobster roll and clam chowder.

We had out of state friends visiting and wanted a different dining experience. There were 6 of us, so we coudnt have a gazebo, but sat in the converted greenhouse at a picnic table. The meal was family style. Wonderful salad with very fresh ingredients, and delicious bread served in a brown paper bag. The freshest butter to spread on it. The food was just delicious and plentiful. We opted for family style. Platters of chicken, fish and meat. A wonderful medley of vegetables. More delicious bread. Dessert was a chocolate pudding, more of a mousse constency with fresh cream and an apple crisp. Yes, we were given two desserts! The chef stopped by to make sure we enjoyed our meal. It is BYOB, and there was a blazing fire pit, since it was a cool evening. We were invited to sit around the fire and finish our drinks. A wonderful memorable experience and so close by, we walked! Definitely recommended.

It was cold with wet snow, and we stopped 40 minutes before they were actually opened. Thank goodness they let us sit by the stove to warm up. The clam chowder was almost ready and that is exactly what we wanted for lunch. Some of the best I have had. A bit pricey, but what the hell, it was the PERFECT stop. Great looking restaurant, so if you are headed to Twin Lights, or Crescent Beach, or Dyer Point, stop for good food. They have a wall of beers on tap, but remember...you are driving.

Daveâs 388 offers a great combination of the most important elements for a lovely dining experience. The setting is cozy and charming; the service is terrific, the food is sublime, and the prices are reasonable. The place was hopping on a Thursday night, so we took two seats at the bar. The seats were comfortable (not always the case with bar seating), the lighting was pleasantly low, and the atmosphere was bustling but not frenetic or noisy â the perfect neighborhood restaurant. The bartender was outstanding, attentive and responsive but not intrusive. She gave good advice on our choice of wine and offered us a tasting so we could compare a couple of options - a much appreciated courtesy. Both of our entrees were delicious. The crispy duck breast was the standout â tender and enhanced with a delectable sauce. The seared tuna was also superb, although the peppery coating was just a tad too peppery. The cold Asian rice salad was extremely spicy (hot Asian green peppers perhaps), and just didn't seem like the right complement for the tuna (way too hot!). When the bartender observed our chagrin, she quickly offered to substitute a creamy polenta, which was wonderful. The high point of our stellar meal was the pecan chocolate tartlette, which was perhaps the best dessert weâve ever had. Put Daveâs 388 on the top of your list for the Portland Maine area. We look forward to returning as soon as we can.

This is one of the 'old-school' restaurants in the greater Portland area. Ate there for the first time and had the fried oysters, with fries and cole slaw. The oysters were delicious -- very fresh and cooked in a light batter. The fries and cole slaw were also good. Impressive menu, with lots of blackboard specials; nice wine list, some intriguing craft cocktails, and a limited draft beer selection -- the Portuguese vinho verde wine was refreshing. Cozy ambiance and tasteful decor, with a little bar in the corner and a screened-in deck out back. I found the prices reasonable, especially since the restaurant's in exclusive Cape Elizabeth. Friendly service.

Will return.This restaurant is at the Press Hotel - if you like old typewriters which it has many in their lobby, then do make a bathroom trip.The decoration of the restaurant is simple and woody. The serving staff are efficient and professional. They serve their oysters with cocktail pearls - nice touch. The scallops entree is heavenly good: succulent, lively and tasty, it's bit salty but you still can taste the sweetness. The Bangs Island mussels (house green curry, lemongrass, lime leaf, chili - oh my ... ) is served with a warm baguette - oui - is excellent too. Both entrees are on the salty side, which fit my palate, -:)When we ask for bill, are told is paid for it. The restaurant is relatively empty because we got there a little after 5. When we press the staff, does he reveal is the next table, with two ladies. After a little debate, I walk over and thanked them. The younger one is a little surprised but the older lady said, "you're welcome. I never forget a beautiful face... have we met somewhere?"She does look like a relative I had, grandaunt Lucy. Although Lucy was Chinese but their similarity lie in the way they present themselves: starting from nicely coiffed hair down to matching earrings, not to mention the makeup.On the second thought, she does look like my editor and a good friend Lynda. But I don't think we've met and I told her so. Maybe we've met but I'm senile ...In any case, thank you lady, you made my day. Hope we'll meet one day, somewhere.
