Fantastic service and food. Hard to pick which is better, both exceptional. The fried whole fluke was incredible and the golden Negroni was a tasty twist on a classic. 10/10

The pace of food delivery was uneven. The apps arrived unusually fast, then the wait between apps and the entrees seemed excessive. Some of the greens in the salad had brown spots and the very tough root of the greens was was not trimmed properly. Otherwise, the food was very good. Overall it was a good experience, but we weren't blown away.

Spectacular as always. The chu toro special was fantastic, I'm glad my husband and I got one each so we didn't had to share :). Great cocktails amazing food and always fun. Love this place. Coming back today again with a friend.

We make it a point to always come to Scales when we visit Portland. The bread is delicious, the entrees always perfectly prepared and the desserts interesting, fun and a wonderful way to end an enjoyable meal. The service has been above and beyond on each visit. Will definitely return.
Scales NEVER disappoints. Adam & his team always provide A+ service and the kitchen is a finely tuned machine of culinary excellence. Last night was no exception - perfectly prepared food served in a wonderful restaurant environment that was full - yet didn't feel crowded. My only complaint - please, please, please bring back the Baked Alaska dessert from year's past.

Parking: Valet makes parking a breeze! Otherwise, good luck.
Raw bar was exceptional! But I ordered the special for dinner and they were already out....it was only 6:30 pm. My second choice was salmon...I've had better. I think it was over cooked. The noise level was very high.

We had a fantastic evening sitting at the bar celebrating my husband's birthday day. The bartender and servers were very knowledgeable and kind. The halibut and ribeye was delicious. We will be back real soon.
A most pleasant evening all around. Everyone in the party was very pleased with their various menu selections, both appetizers and Maine courses. The server, Sandra, could not have been more personable, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu items. The valet service was appreciated and the valet was very courteous and friendly.

Delicious but noisy. Great cocktail. Wonderful server. Should give free dessert for special occasions. Most other restaurants do. It was my birthday and you should have given me a slice of cake.

Have dined here often and this will probably prove to be the last time. Fried clams are under cooked, so not crispy, and dripping with oil as if they were cooked in a hurry. French fries are fine. Fish Stew cam with a spoon but the soup was so reduced there was no need for a spoon. There was almost no fish in the soup only clams, mussels, and a few bits of calamari. Very tasty but not a meal. Mixed salad was very good. Noise level makes normal conversation impossible. Streaks are good. Overall the food is not made with love. Service is very good.
