My husband and I have traveled the world, and this is among the best meals we’ve experienced!! A husband/wife team that created for us a perfect evening. The seafood paella was to die for, the scallops melted in our mouths, on a lovely salad bed. The garlic sauce was incredible-smooth as silk! For dessert we shared churros dipped in chocolate with super fresh coffee. Yikes- so good! We will be back when we return to Portland!
Amazing food, kind owners! I can’t wait to go back, the food is so delicious.

What a truly lovely spot, with amazing service and food. My husband and I visited here on the anniversary of my grandpa’s passing to commemorate him — he always made the best paella when I was growing up! I really think he would have loved this restaurant. The paella was incredible, so flavorful and a good bit of crispy rice at the bottom of the pan. Fresh, tasty seafood, and a side of special house-made garlic sauce that paired beautifully with the paella. The owner was so kind and attentive; really great service and I left feeling like my heart had been filled as well as my stomach. We will definitely be back for more!

Excellent sea food and a gentle, warm, welcoming atmosphere. We are delighted, and Portland should be delighted to have this restaurant serving the excellent menu.
The paella is so good here and I am a self proclaimed paella connoisseur! And even better, it’s reasonable priced! The staff was slow on a Friday night because they got randomly busy and the server said “it never is” which shouldn’t be the case. This place deserves to be busy! Food is so flavorful, please keep this place busy so it stays open!!!
Must to visit place. The food was absolutely delicious, worth it every penny. Highly recommend to visit this place. The lobster roll was so so good that I forgot to take a picture, one of the best in Portland,Maine. We ordered Mediterranean octopus salad, clam chowder, seafood Paella and lobster roll and everything was so delicious that I wanted to personally thank the chef. The owner of the restaurant is a chef himself and it was nice to receive a complimentary dessert from him and his wife. The wife is such a good person with hospitality and kindness. This is a family business husband and wife and you can feel the soul in every dish. Each dish contains a whisper of love and passion.
Aside from the incredibly friendly and warm husband and wife team, their niece, Noor, was working her first day there and how lucky we were to have her serve us!! The food is off the charts delicious – – fresh and colorful and REALLY good!! They do a good takeout business too, and it will be our go to spot especially on work nights :-) Such a good local business to support and enjoy!! We had scallop, salmon, and haddock skewers, as well as BEAUTIFUL salads: beet & goat cheese, avocado and shrimp ceviche, crispy calamari – – and everything was delicious!! Can't wait to go back for the paella and fried clams, which was more food than we were up for late on a Sunday night. The decor isn't there strong point, but we love this place!!!
A must-go-to place if you're visiting Portland! Very good paella and chicken cone waffles! The chicken and waffles served on a cone (chef’s handmade) is the smartest idea because you don’t get sticky eating with your hands! The chicken is infused with special maple sauce, crunchy for sure! The chef is committed to good food and nice hospitality!

A true culinary gem in Portland! Our experience was absolutely incredible. The haddock sandwiches, fried calamari, and salads were all fantastic, clearly made with talent and love.

Delicious seafood paella didn’t disappoint. We were looking for a quick bite late on Sunday night.The seafood was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Rice was nicely done. The rice is pre-cooked in a bigger pan then portioned into the serving pan. But it didn’t impact how things taste yet allowing them to serve much more quickly.We also ordered the Cioppino. It’s very tasty as well.The lady who seemed the owner of this restaurant was super nice and attentive! We enjoyed our experience here even though it was just a quick bite!
