Our second visit in 5 years. We did the Maine Restaurant Week 5 course menu with wine pairings and it did not disappoint. My only complaint was the quantity of food. We were stuffed when we left. Food was so good. We'll have to make sure we don't let another 5 years go by before we visit again.

Good food. Great service. Overpriced. We were charged $24 per couple for charcuterie that consisted of two small plates of meats and cheese. There was 6 couples!

Very warm, old bldg on 3 levels (it's winter now). Food is outstanding; varied specialty choices presented by attentive wait staff with precision to detail. A nice variation on comfort food with "extra". The chef's choices blend beautifully from appetizers to dessert. Intimate setting yet not pretentious; welcoming. Pub next to restaurant is old style Colonial & lovely; could easily spend relaxing afternoon with friends catching up.

I absolutely loved the food, atmosphere and we had great service. The staff were all very pleasant and the chefs thanked us on the way out. My husband had duck and I had the hanger steak. Both were top notch. We will be back. Thank you!

Excellent cuisine and service.

Visited for a pre-show dinner. Special menu was offered - 3 course fixed price. Service was perfect and the food was as well. Delightful atmosphere and the entire staff was very customer aware and did all the little extras to make a perfect dining experience.

Exquisite food and wine pairing menu!

Great location, service and superb food and drinks! My personal choices were the beet salad and the scallops. Shared a dessert, a take on cheese cake ... to the next level.

This is one of our go to places when we are visiting Portland. The food and service are first rate. We splurged on the testing menu and enjoyed the variety.
Staff/service was fantastic. Perfectly timed courses. Oysters, cheese board, kale salad, squash soup, scallops, caramels and port. All of it irresistibly prepared and presented.

We just had a fabulous thanksgiving night meal. When we showed up for our 7:45 reservation, it was very busy which gave me pause. But our meal and service was spectacular. The lobster truffle Mac and cheese was on another level. I’m not usually a fan but I ordered it because it made its appearance in so many positive reviews. I am so glad I did because it was out of this world. Amazing meal, start to finish. We will be back!!

We went for the Thanksgiving dinner and the place was Packed! Thank you to all the people working on Thanksgiving to make an amazing meal for us. Even though they were filled to capacity, everything came out on time, and we never had to search for a server. It was all cooked perfectly.

My husband and I had our small post wedding reception dinner here. We were able to work with Christina, the event planner to make every detail perfect and personalized for us. She helped us decide on everything from wines to napkins. The four course meal was beautiful and delicious. All of the 12 guests loved their meals. We had a wonderful experience working with this restaurant. The team at five fifty-five helped make our small wedding so special.
