“We highly enjoyed our visit to the area and Eventide! Food was great - oysters and lobster roll were amazing, great atmosphere, and employee serving oysters gave us good info on area. We will definitely make another visit to Eventide from Austin, TX!“

“We had such a delicious meal at Scales! Everything was presented beautifully and tasted excellent. Service was on-point and the atmosphere is super chic. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone in the Portland area!“

“We totally enjoyed our first visit to Luke’s. There were 4 of us. The service was quick, the food was delicious, the vibe was somewhat key west and the staff were so great!! Definitely returning. Thank you“

“Food was good but my brocollini wss barely cooked and hardly warm. Service was great. Wine pour was scant. The middle room is where we sat and it was hot and noisy. Street and Co is surviving on its reputation but now I remember why we haven't been in years.“

“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“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“Great fresh fried seafood, unpretentious atmosphere. All about the quality.“

“The wood fire aroma envelops you as soon as you enter the restaurant. There were many enticing items on the menu, which made choosing what to eat a pleasant challenge. The food did not disappoint. Everything was delicious. The only areas where we were a little disappointed were 1) timing - our entrees arrived moments after we got our appetizer; 2) willingness to make a simple substitution - we asked if an ice cream could be substituted with sorbet in a dessert due to a lactose issue. The wait staff said the head chef doesn't like to make substitutions. While we understand that approach in general, this was a simple change. However, this didn't dampen our resolve to return again.“

“What an amazing experience. We would definitely recommend and will be back soon!“

“Nice palce and wonderful service.“

With Frankie as our food and drink guide we were taken care of with all the perfect timing and grace that could be expected in any top restaurant. We appreciate him and his whole DiMillo's Team..scallops, salmon, and other yum yums were all on point! Thank you Dimillos...another superb experience!!“

“Best lobster roll in town! Wonderful staff!“

“Quite possibly the best restaurant I have ever dined at. I was looking for something different to celebrate our anniversary and Regards was the place. Small plates to share is all they do. No more wishing you ordered what the other person did. They recommend 4-6 plates for 2 people and 4 was perfect for us. We started with diver caught scallop ceviche which had a nice acidic bite to it. Paired perfectly with the Motivator and LA Nights cocktails both wish are Mezcal and citrus. Our second course was grilled octopus in a spicy sauce. Never had octopus before but wanted to channel my inner Somebody Feed Phil Rosenthal and go do it. So glad we did it was very good. It's been 24 hrs and I am still thinking about that dish. Another round of cocktails. Dish three was the coffee rub fried chicken. At first feeling fancy we started with fork and knives but quickly humbled ourselves and ate with our hands. Everything was well flavored and cooked just right. Our last dish was the miso short ribs and greens. Again cooked to perfection. Sadly we were too full for desert I really wanted the tortilla blueberry ice cream. A reason to come back. Overall very impressed with Regards and we will be back. Thankfully it's only 2 miles from our house. If you are looking for something different to celebrate a special occasion or just splurge with friends this is the place to go to. 10/10 would recommend.“

“We had an amazing experience on the Lucky Catch Lobstering Cruise in Portland, Maine! The crew made everything so fun and educational. We got hands on experience checking lobster traps, baiting them, and learning all about lobsters and the local lobster industry. The boat itself was comfortable and offered great views of the harbor, and the crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and full of interesting stories. This cruise is perfect for anyone who wants a true Maine lobstering experience, highly recommend getting out on the water with Lucky Catch!“

“This place is great for room service or eating in the restaurant. Friendly staff, friendly guests, and multiple comfortable places to sit and chill. I stay at the adjacent hotel 3+ times a year because of the food options, bar and location.“

“tried chicken gyro/ rice and salad. I've never eaten this type of food before and the flavors are very good. this is a great meal that was recommended by the staff for a newbie like me. if you want to try something new and different but not overload on strong unfamiliar flavors then this is a great start.“
