“What a great find! Booked a table after reading the reviews. The meal was perfect, the new to us cocktail was potent and delicious, the servers were amazing, the owner was gracious. Thank you Barb, Dot and Dawn. We will be returning next year at the same time to celebrate my 70th!! Seems it will only allow 1 picture.“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“Amazing food & relaxing atmosphere.“

“Meilleur oatmeal EVER parfait petit café🤘🏼“

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

“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 !“

“Amazing food, drinks and service, a true gem!!“

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

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

“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!“

“Great food.,,and a great atmosphere!!!! Excellent waitress......very enjoyable experience‼️“

“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“

“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!!“

“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 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.“

“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!“

“The BEST banh mi and bubble tea. Specials rotate so there is always something new to try. The bread is always perfect. They cater and do pop-ups…which often feature the best egg roll I’ve ever had.“

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

“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“

“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!“

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

“Great tasting, healthy food. Lots of plant-based options and awesome service,“

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

“My wife and I basically stumbled on this place on August 29, 2025. We did not see it on Google but decided to try it. It was great. The service was attentive, friendly, and efficient. The food was very good. The atmosphere was great. We would definitely go again!“

“Thank you Mandy for always being such an amazing person. We love Marcys Marcy's Diner. The food is amazing but the people make it even better.“

“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!“

“I’ll change to 5 star when they commit to being a business. By far the best pizza in the area and in my top 4 life to date. Only problem…. How do you run out of dough at 6:30 on a Friday night. That should be one the 7 deadly sins of owning a pizza business. Common now, are you a business or a hobby? But the good news for you… is that you can tell me to go pound sand on the old Orchard beach and I’ll still come back because your pizza is that good. Otto… fogettaboutit.. Alex… nope. Ya’ll yes please. Get it together… raise your prices… raise your service. Let’s go. Just charge more (you are worth it). You get less traffic and make 20% more. Keep Raising prices until you have the traffic you like and the profit you want… your pizza hits the mark. Quit with the mediocre service. Have some company unwavering values and good character.“

“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!“

“Had a drink and oysters during happy hour and it was a great experience. Bartender Andy was so friendly and polite and gave some great recommendations for local spots to visit. Would definitely come regularly if I was a local.“

“Quality is absolutely top notch, really fantastic flavors. What makes Sweetcream really special is the service, I'm left with the impression that everyone who works there really likes their job and it shows in the super friendly way they treat their guests. My favorite spot in the Saco/Biddeford area hands down“

“Very good! Will be back again for sure!“

“Great food and friendly service! Love this place“

“Fantastic ramen and poke bowls.“

“If you are looking for some of Portland's most amazing foods come here. Today I had their special which was a softshell crab dish that was out of this world. I have never had the same thing twice at MaMi because all of the dishes look and smell and taste so amazing I want to try them all. It's truly an experience.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“Absolutely incredible food and drinks, great atmosphere, and wonderful staff!“

“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.“

“Came here after visiting Portland Headlight in Cape Elizabeth. Many options to choose from and they were delicious! My girls ordered three different kinds of pad Thai.“

“Love Empire! Always fantastic!“

“Had brunch at this restaurant and it was fantastic!! The atmosphere in the hotel is cute. It used to be the newspaper building, so they carried this theme through. They have vintage typewriters on the wall in the lobby, so cute. Our server, Anna, was so sweet and kind! Food was sooooooo good. I would highly recommend this place. This is off the beaten path in Portland, it’s not in the port area, but the walk is so pretty to get to it. You can go up to exchange street, with so many cute shops. Definitely worth the short walk, especially if you’re there on a Sunday and all the other brunch places by the port have 45 minute waits.“

“Holy! Seriously some of the best BBQ food I’ve had. Stumbled upon this gem via social media.. the prices are very fair, everything was cooked perfectly, the staff was attentive— we will be back!“

“Avocado Toast, hash browns, yummy pastries“

“without question the best breakfast sandwich I ever had. honey ham egg and habanero bacon jam with Gouda on a jalapeno cheddar biscuit.... 🥳“

“Thank you for being one of the only places in town with healthy and vegan options � the amazing taste is a bonus“

“Went in today for the first time and food was amazing! Ordered a latte and the girl that took my order wasn’t the friendliest. I last minute decided I wanted a latte, and asked for it to be made with oatmilk she seemed annoyed and said it comes with oatmilk with an attitude. There is no info stating that the latte comes with oatmilk so not sure how I was supposed to know that. The guy who made my drink was extremely friendly and when my food order was ready the cooks were also super friendly! Great food and latte, will be back for sure!“

“I love you guys but I’m not sure why your rice balls are so spicy now. Les’s pepper, more sauce. They taste different, and for that price for rice, I expect consistency. ❤️“
