Where do I start?? I completely enjoyed my experience at Scales from start to finish. They came recommended by two completely different people (a resident and someone who frequents the area) so after the second time hearing the name, it was settled. I had to try it. We had a short wait in the lounge area for the dining room to open and had a drink. The Lavender Haze with the pea flower infused gin was fantastic; Woke my taste buds right up! Our waitress was incredibly helpful and graciously answered all of my 784 questions to help us settle on what to order (everything sounded so amazing, I couldn’t decide). We settled on the grilled octopus for the appetizer and while in Maine, I HAD to get lobster. I have no regrets!! Everything we tried was phenomenal. After seeing other tables order the scallops, I would’ve loved to try them too but had absolutely no room left. I can say this was the best meal I’ve had in a very long time. When in Portland, Maine EAT AT SCALES!!

Such a great place when visiting Portland… sat at the bad and had delicious drinks and the best lobster roll. All of the employees were super nice and food/drinks was an easy 5 stars!

Consistently excellent - high-end Maine seafood. We like to come here for birthdays or dinners with visitors from out of town.

We had an amazing evening at Scales! The meal was perfect, the service was excellent, and the design is understated and tasteful. We ate at the bar, and it was entertaining to watch all of the food being prepped. Get the Boston brown bread!!!

I have had the great fortune to dine at great places around the world, and Scales is right up there. I could go on and on about the food and decor, but Patrick at the bar put this place over the top.We reserved bar seats, and were lucky enough to be sat in Patrick’s section. We hope to be back for years to come!Parking: Free valet

If you're in Portland, this is a must! Excellent service, kudos to ours - Emily, and the food... oh my! Wish we had room for dessert, but there will be a next time!
From appetizers to entrees, each dish was consistently good. And the service was impeccable. Thank for making my birthday

I got the steak and it did not disappoint. My choice was one of the specials for the night. The steak was well seasoned with just the right amount of salt and cooked to perfection. The fries were so good it was ridiculous, definitely top 10 in my experiences. The dipping sauce was also very good, 3 for 3!! When I’m back in town I’ll definitely stop at Scales for another meal. Lastly, the place gets packed quickly. We visited on a Tuesday evening so I can only imagine how busy it is during the weekends.
