“I ordered my so son’s first birthday smash cake here and couldn’t be happier with it! I asked if they could make it a golf ball and he said they would try, but weren’t sure they could do that (he said they’d make it golf theme if the ball wasn’t feasible and I was perfectly fine with that). They were able to make the golf ball and it came out better than I was hoping for! I was also blown away by how reasonable the cost was. Definitely recommend them for custom cakes!“

“Rivalries has always been one of my favorite spots, especially in the summertime. Whether I’m hanging out on the deck, stopping by for lunch, or watching a Boston sports game with friends, it’s always a great time. The food may be classic pub style, but it’s pub style on steroids—I’ve never had a bad meal here.
Lance, the owner, is often around and genuinely takes time to check in on guests, which is a great touch. But the real star of the staff is Jen, the head manager. She’s absolutely phenomenal to work with, especially when it comes to planning a function. Whether it’s a small family gathering or a larger group event, Jen’s professionalism, experience, and friendly approach make the whole process easy—and even fun.
They truly do a great job all around, and I always look forward to coming back.“

“The Foreside Tavern is the place to be! As someone who has been going here on and off since I was a young child with my family, I can happily review that the tav is currently the best it’s ever been in my experience. The menu has such a wide variety for every type of taste. The pan fried haddock, foreside nachos, and Caesar salad with salmon are some of my staple orders that never disappoint. I have never had an even slightly bad experience at the tavern and I recommend it to anyone I know. All staff are friendly and go out of their way to make sure you have a positive experience. I tend to enjoy sitting on the bar side but all areas of the restaraunt are inviting and full of good vibes. The seasonally rotating menus always bring new surprises while holding onto staples. Cocktail and drink menus don’t disappoint either quite a few fun options! I’ve had anywhere from dinner groups of 2 all the way to 20+ via phone call or online reservation and been accommodated kindly!“

“🍕DAVE PORTNOY pizza review needs to come here.🍕If you’re a true pizza lover, this place is a must. One slice in, and you’ll understand why it’s in a league of its own. What really sets this pizza apart is the attention to detail. Every bite has that addictive balance of salty, savory, and just a hint of sweetness. It’s the kind of pizza that makes you pause mid-bite and say, WOW! The SAUCE and the DOUGH is worth the ride.
The sauce was rich, tangy, and full of flavor without overpowering the rest. The cheese? Melted to golden, bubbly perfection. Maine’s best dough? 🤔 it’s in the conversation.
My friend had their steak bomb and a small greek salad and told me they both were outstanding. Their greek salad dressing they make right there is fire 🔥. I think ownership takes a lot of pride in their menu. FHOP! Well done I’m giving you a 9.3 out of 10. So far that’s the highest rating I have given. 😊“

“Before attending an evening with Phil Rosenthal, I decided to grab a quick bite to eat at Central Provisions. I walked over from my hotel and not having a reservation, I managed to snag a solo spot at the bar downstairs. By the time I left, there was not a seat to be had so I was very appreciative that I had the opportunity to dine here.
The service was impeccable-friendly and engaging without being overbearing, and the food came out quickly.
Despite wanting to try every single item on the menu, it was just me so I had to limit my options. I finally settled on the beet salad and the bone marrow toast. Both were absolutely phenomenal and well balanced.
For dessert, I could not resist trying the caramelized zucchini cake, and I did not regret it. It was a unique dessert that was not overly sweet and presented the flavors as well.
All in all a fantastic meal and a restaurant that I would absolutely frequent if I lived in the area or the next time I visit.“

“We arrived with out of state friends for dinner on a Wednesday evening. We'd booked this night 2 months prior as they had heard about Fore Street and wanted to try it. No one was disappointed in anything from our drinks to our entrees. The food, service, and overall ambiance were outstanding. We had oysters, elk kielbasa, calamari, and venison golumpki as our apps. All were delicious. The entrees were skate, crabbed stuffed haddock, and chicken. No complaints on anything. Our server was friendly and very informative regarding our questions regarding certain menu items. It was a great experience!“
“We brought our soccer team over for a team kick-off party and couldn't have picked a better spot. The staff was so friendly and excited to see us, the food/drinks were delicious, and all our families said it was the perfect spot to gather. We'll definitely be back!“

“Love, love, loved it!!! Definitely get a reservation here as everyone else knows what it's about. We booked a few weeks ago and they do book up. We sat at the bar which was wonderful because that's where the oysters are opened. We received great service and the best food of our entire trip! Oysters followed by the sole francaise with brown butter potatos. It's all special!! Also get the squash gratin. So good!!!“

Blueberry Fleur Mimosa ... 12/10! Try this spot if you're in the area, we will travel back 3 hours just for brunch !“

“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.“

“We had a lovely dinner a few nights ago at Wayside with our delightful server (sorry, I didn't learn her name). However, our (and our neighboring table) were disturbed by a very loud party of 5 '(birthday group) with no consideration of fellow diners. I understand that Wayside has no control over the behavior of the rude, but it's disappointing to have an enjoyable evening spoiled by the behavior of fellow diners.“

“Went there for New Years Eve at the new location. They told us it was going be at least a 45 minute wait and we were ok with that. Host took our phone number and added us on the wait list on his tablet. Took a seat out by the host stand and waited. Another couple came in about 15 minutes after us, also a party of two, and the same host told them it was going be a wait and they took a seat next to us. Even though we had been there 15 minutes longer and greeted by same host with tablet, he forgot about us and seated them first. Even though we were waiting right next to them and he looked right at us when he came to tell them to follow him to a table. We finally just got a seat at the bar. We ordered appetizers, two rounds of drinks and dinner. Again told it was going be a wait because kitchen was backed up. That was fine. Got our drinks and appetizers. Then my girlfriend’s entrée finally came out but they forgot to bring mine! I thought it would be out in a few minutes, but after 1o more minutes waiting for my food I finally inquired, and they had somehow forgotten my entrée. They comp’d one round of drinks. Love the new location. Love the food. But we chose the wrong night to go! I’ve never gone out to eat and ordered the food and had them forget to bring my entrée out.. By the time I got my dinner my girlfriend was done with her food. Just asked them to bag it for take-away. Still tipped 20% as I’ve worked twenty years in resturants. Kind of disappointed with New Years Eve dinner. Took the night off early to go have a nice meal and they forgot my meal!“

“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!“

“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“

NO other local place comes close to the fresh, exceptionally tasty, and generous portion. Staff so lovely. Must return to try empanadas. The vibe inside is so cute, I look forward to coming back to eat in.“

“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“

“Location beautiful, plenty of parking
Food: delicious had the fish tacos and sword fish stake with a side of grilled zucchini and squash
The fish tacos were packed with grilled haddock and were seasoned really well.
The sword fish stake was perfect, melted in the mouth with the mashed potatoes which had and broccoli.
Grilled vegetables side was more sautéed then grilled but still delicious
Tiramisu was really good too
Service was quick, knowledgeable and kind
Overall a great place for lunch and dinner“
