“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!“

“Have nothing but good things to say about this place! Quick, friendly, and tasty. Pricey but reasonable for what you get, given the quality! Go for the usual items (lobster roll, fried claims) but do not sleep on the fried scallops and any of the desserts. I've been fortunate enough to come here many times and it gets significantly better, each and every time.“

“We stopped in unexpected as we were driving around. We received such a warm reception and were seated immediately. All the food was amazing and delicious.

“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.

“All I can say is amen hallelujah! I had an incredible eisbock and the pierogi. Perfect pairing, smooth pour, great place. 100% recommend!“

“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.“

“Our group dined here this past Sunday and had an exceptional experience. The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was very well done. For me what put this over the top was the service provided by the wait staff as well as the rest of the team. It is clear that a high level of training is put into each staff member. One of the best dinners I have ever had and I will certainly be back the next time I am in Portland!“

“One of the best culinary experiences visiting the east coast. The service was amazing, Jake and the rest of the stuff were incredibly helpful. The grilled lobster with garlic linguine pasta almost took me to Nirvana, lol. The octopus is a must in my opinion. I highly recommend it if you are visiting Portland, Maine.“

“My partner and I celebrated my 50th and our 30 year anniversary there. They had a special table set for us. The food, drink and atmosphere was amazing. Their was a surprise birthday cake for me made by Ilma. Such a memorable experience. Only complaint is that there should've been like 30 of those deviled eggs....lol Thanks for the great meal and everlasting memories.“

“Went for Oyster Social/Happy Hour they do on Wednesdays after a local recommended I try…had a little bit of everything and some punch. I’m not easy to impress. It was DIVINE!!! Delicious fresh seafood, excellent quality, great drinks, just a very nice experience I wish I were local to attend every week! Highly recommend!“

“Delia made our tour at Allagash one of the highlights of our time in Portland. We visited on the afternoon of our flight home to Mpls, and it was a great way to bring our Maine trip to a close. She was warm, engaging, and exceptionally knowledgeable, with that rare ability to know her subject thoroughly without making it feel like a lecture. She kept the tour lively, welcomed questions, and shared the story and craft behind Allagash with genuine enthusiasm and a great sense of humor. You can visit a brewery for the beer, but the person leading the tour often determines how much you remember about it afterward. Delia made ours memorable. Allagash is fortunate to have her representing them.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

We ordered a cheese plate and oysters as well, and they were both delicious. Hidden gem tucked away in the Old Port! We will definitely be back again.“
