“The chipotle lobster roll was great no spicy at all but a lot off lobster. Long line but they moved quickly. Will definitely come back”

“Our Garden Suite was awesome! Super comfortable and well appointed, awesome soaking tub, the nicest robes, great views and quick walk to the beach. Loved how dog friendly it is. Dog bowls, dog blanket, dog towel, ball, poopie bags and a giant biscuit greeted our pup. Dogs are even allowed in the tavern. Hot chocolate and cookies in the lobby at night. Chocolates in the room. Free use of the steam room and experience shower in the spa for guests. Staff is great! That’s just to name a few things that makes the Inn by the Sea great! We can’t wait to go back!”

“Place is fantastic. Food was great. Had a crab roll and shrimp. Bother really fresh. Onion rings are spot on - made on site, crispy, oniony, and a touch of salt. Coleslaw was fresh and a nice hint of apple.

BYOB is allowed, they serve soft drinks but no alcohol.

Scenery is just as good!”

“My first time at Jordan’s Farm U Pick. So many strawberries in the field!!! Very friendly staff. Went to the farm market after, nice set up. So many things to choose from. Got fresh lettuce, cucumbers and multiple varieties of radish. Should have grabbed the snap peas. Will be going back for sure.”

“We popped into Central Provisions today on our stay in Portland and I was blown away by this restaurant. It was a very intimate, beautiful space with amazing flavor. Our server, Andy, made the experience. They were very kind and made dining with an allergy a breeze. Do not skip Central Provisions when you come to Portland!

Dietary restrictions: Their allergen menu is wildly helpful. It's color coded and makes it very clear what is and is not safe, and whether or not an allergen can be removed from the dish. I have a severe nut allergy and I felt completely safe eating here.”

“I expected great coffee and got it, but the biscuits and scones were delicious- even better than my own homemade.”

“We highly enjoyed our visit to the area and Eventide! Food was great - oysters and lobster roll were amazing, great atmosphere, and employee serving oysters gave us good info on area. We will definitely make another visit to Eventide from Austin, TX!”

“We had such a delicious meal at Scales! Everything was presented beautifully and tasted excellent. Service was on-point and the atmosphere is super chic. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone in the Portland area!”

“The Gelato Fiasco was a nice surprise to enjoy an ice cream at the end of the evening. The flavors offered are varied and original, and the waiter, particularly kind that evening, took the time to let us taste those that intrigued us the most. Thanks to his advice, we found our favorite perfumes. Ideally located, it is a perfect address for a delicious dessert outside of a restaurant. Despite the cold, tasting this ice cream was a real pleasure. A big thank you to the waiter for his welcome and his kindness, which made the experience even better!”

“Awesome place away from Old Port for fresh oysters.Smoked trout dip was delicious too. Easy parking.”

“Today, I enjoyed lunch with an old friend at Luke's Lobster, situated at the end of Portland Pier on the waterfront. Should you find yourself in Portland, I suggest visiting them; you will not be disappointed.”

“Original post 2023: We have been to Fore st and Scales. The service at both was rushed and not overly friendly. Not so here! Our server was very personable, friendly and helpful. She also let us order our food in courses and didn’t demand we order everything all at once. A good restaurant is more than good food, it’s about the experience. The menu had some very unique items also! Came Back in 2025 and still on point!”

“Absolutely amazing! Each time we visit I am reminded of why it’s my favorite restaurant ever - the food, the service and the atmosphere are all top notch, every time! Thank you!”

“Fore Street never fails to provide a fantastic evening out!! Service is always top notch; friendly and professional! Cocktails are always delicious! We started with the bread and butter - just so good! Our appetizers were the grilled squid and steamed mussels - outstanding! For dinner, we had scallops, hanger steak, roasted chicken, snap peas, and garlic mashed potatoes- all phenomenal!! We were too full for dessert, but they looked yummy. Great wine selection, specialty cocktails, and beer selection. There is a reason we come every year - it's just that delightful!”

“Great food.,,and a great atmosphere!!!! Excellent waitress......very enjoyable experience‼️”

“The best breakfast I have ever had, and I own a breakfast restaurant 😂 Super friendly staff, well worth the wait ! If you don't try the hollandaise I will question all your life decisions. Blueberry Fleur Mimosa ... 12/10! Try this spot if you're in the area, we will travel back 3 hours just for brunch !”

ViA VECCHiA is Portland, Maine was absolutely 10/10 on everything they did! We started with Meatballs, Whipped Ricotta & Grilled Octopus. The meatballs reminded me of my mothers, the ricotta was tremendous with truffle honey & sesame breadsticks and the octopus was grilled perfectly. One dish was better than the next. We shared ravioli with as an entree and we never felt gross like we ate too much. The portion sizes were PERFECT. Wrapped the night off with a espresso infused cheesecake over salted caramel. Wow.

“It was a cold & windy walk home when i passed by Standard Baking Co and decided a hot coffe was needed. Of course, who could pass up a cookie or brownie to go along. I decided on the Raspberry Gallette and I am now addicted!!!! I either need to find an alternate route home...or add another 2 miles to walk off the extra calories! Thank you Standard Baking Co to finding the right the right reward for me keeping my new year resolution to add more activity to my day!”
