“We are so grateful we found this cute, family owned bakery! Ruby loved her 13th birthday cake, and it was absolutely delicious! Thank you for being so accommodating on such short notice.“

“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!“

“Impossibly wonderful food and vibe! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The food was SPECTACULAR! Even the carnivores in our group enjoyed it!“

“Every dish we had melted in our mouths—the crab cake, greens, and duck hashbrowns. Our final course, the foie gras touchon, was simply divine—I could have easily had two! The Bellinis on tap were also very good—smooth and refreshing. Our server, Emma, and the rest of the staff worked the room beautifully, in a charming and friendly manner. All in all, we left with full stomachs and hearts—until the next time!“

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

“GF has a variety of unique and delicious flavors. Our favorites were Peanut Butter, Espresso Chip and Strawberry Balsamic, but everything we tried had bold flavors and plenty of chips, etc. We also visited the Brunswick store, which I recommend for the most flavor choices. You can't go wrong though at Gelato Fiasco!“

“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 !“

“I love this food truck. Food is always fresh and cooked perfectly. As good as any Greek truck in NYC. It’s worth it to find Lucky Lou’s for a fabulous lunch but be forewarned, it’s addictive !!“

“We had dinner last night and it was excellent!!! Service was wonderful, drinks were perfect and the food was amazing. Highly recommend!“

“My girlfriend and I had a wonderful dinner on 2-15. We sat at the end of the sushi bar- it was a little tight when it got busy, but it’s definitely the best sushi place we’ve been to. Our server Chad was awesome and made us feel very welcome. I told a few friends and decided to write a review“

“Unreal experience! Our bartender, Josiah helped us pick some amazing dishes. We can’t wait to return. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“One of the best dining experiences in Portland highly recommend“

“Meilleur oatmeal EVER parfait petit café🤘🏼“

“This place is amazing. Very LGBTQ friendly, and wonderfully nice management.“

“My husband and I had lunch here before an appointment nearby. This restaurant had delicious food. My husband ordered the Down east Ruben, which was made with deep fried haddock with Cole slaw piled high on the bun with melted cheese. He said it was delicious! I opted for the classic BLT. Again, the sandwich was delicious. The lettuce and tomatoes were fresh and ample bacon was piled on top. I watched a young man bus the tables. He was extremely thorough cleaning the tables and seating. He even washed the items on the table (salt & pepper shakers, ketchup and hot sauce bottles). This young man then set the tables for new customers. Being a bit of a clean freak, I appreciated this young man's work. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant.“

“Great food and friendly service! Love this place“

“Best Gelato I’ve ever had! I’ve been to a few different places but none even compare. I had the Hazelnut and Sea Salt Caramel and they were mouth watering. My bf had Maine Wild Blueberry and Oreo and we almost went back for more that night! Eagerly waiting for Boston Creme to come back so I can try it!!“

“Bayside is awesome! We've been fans for years. Never had anything we didn't like. This afternoon, we tried their pumpkin french toast special and psssshhhh, you kidding me?! SO GOOD. TOO good. Their home fries are always on point and if you're an eggs benedict lover, they've got several delicious options to choose from. The staff and atmosphere are great too! Bayside for the win!“

“I dream of their roti and curry dipping sauce, and no visit is complete without the ginger tofu noodles.“

“Absolutely amazing flavors! Great staff. Had a vegetarian sampler plate (had all our favorites) and a lamb gyro pizza (never had one before...never heard of one).....a new favorite! Skip the seafood and try the Olive Cafe!“

“Warm welcoming staff, happy regulars, creative events, top notch dedication to their draft list pouring from clean lines and glassware, passionate owners who are present and make food from scratch. A true Portland gem!“

“I ordered a carrot cake from Norimoto Bakery for my birthday, and it was absolutely incredible! The flavor was perfectly balanced, just the right amount of sweetness and it was moist and light. The frosting was also so light and delicious, it complemented the cake beautifully instead of overpowering it. You can really taste the care and exceptional baking skill in every bite. Thank you, Norimoto, for making my birthday extra special! Also just look at how beautifully the cake was decorated with flowers. Highly recommend to anyone who loves truly amazing baked goods.“

“Sure, Mabel! Here’s a polished, friendly review letter you can use: --- Restaurant Review I recently visited this restaurant for the very first time, and I was truly impressed from start to finish. The food was so delicious that I actually found myself wishing I could get the recipes to make the dishes at home later. I ordered the chicken sandwich, and it was one of the most unique and flavorful sandwiches I’ve ever had. Every bite was incredible. My friend ordered the steak and cheese, and it must have been amazing because she ate every last bite of it without hesitation! The staff deserves special recognition as well. They were excellent, kind, and especially patient with my service dog in training, who is only five months old. Their understanding and welcoming attitude made the whole experience even better. Overall, this was a wonderful first visit, and I will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!“

“Oh My God what a gem this place is! First off when you walk in it smells incredible. I had the Godmother grilled cheese. It was so good I couldn't hold a conversation......or maybe it was their margaritas!! Anyway the sandwich was unbelievable and the "secret sauce" on the side for dipping is something I didn't think I needed but ended up wanting to be buried in!“

“We have lived in Scarborough for 2 years now and just had the opportunity to eat at Jojos Thai Kitchen. Ordering online was a breeze. Pickup was on time. The food was great. Me, my husband and my three teenagers all loved the food. I especially loved the tofu noodle dish. We will definitely eat here again.“

“We LOVE an evening out at Tuscan Table, South Portland location in fact we go every week! Our preferred place to sit is at the bar where we know we will always get excellent service from our favorite server Sammy. Sammy always greets us with a friendly smile and remembers what we like to drink, she also remembers how we like each dish that is ordered prepared even if we forget to ask, she knows. Sammy makes eating at the Tuscan a wonderful welcoming experience every time. Thank you Sammy and see you next week! Nancy & Eddie“

“The food was phenomenal, very tasty, flavorful, cooked to perfection! Friendly server and chill atmosphere. Definitely a favorite!“

“Holy cow, what an awesome find! We enjoyed everything about this place. They have a fun cocktail menu, and the food is AMAZING! Be sure to order the fried chicken, and get at least a couple of their excellent sauces!“

“Fantastic ramen and poke bowls.“

“They have bhindi and aloo gobi and other items that not all Indian places have“

“We wandered in today and sat at the bar. We were so impressed with both the service and the food. The bartender was cordial, friendly, and extremely attentive. We had a flatbread that was absolutely delicious and chicken, bacon ranch salad with house made ranch that was exceptional. Closer than any. We don’t have a flatbread company near our home sure wish we did.“

“Friendly staff, great prices and the yummiest smoothies! I give 10 stars!“

“I had the Peaches the Pig sandwich. Best. Sandwich. Ever. It was the type of sandwich that makes you want to dance a little after every bite. Slightly sweet, a little spicy, a whole lot of amazing. But…Good luck picking just one thing. Everything on the menu looked amazing.“

“The food was excellent! The young man who made our tableside guacamole and our waiter were two of the best serves I have ever encountered! This place is TopShelf!“

“We ordered a catered taco bar last week through Bird & Co. for our annual shindig and boy was it worth it! Our spread was incredible. Every item was SO delicious and packaged as cute as can be. Pat made everything so easy for us. No where in town have I received such amazing service. Bird & Co. is my new fav. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!“

“Wonderful experience at Boone’s last night. Service was amazing and the food…wow. As a local, I am embarrassed to say it was my first time there. It will not be my last (I just saw their Sunday brunch menu !)“
