Food was great! We loved everything, but the salmon with carrot puree was our favorite (particularly the puree). The staff were great and friendly! But was really really hot inside.

The place is very convenient on Munjoy Hill. Our server was friendly and helpful. The food was good. But lacked flavor. The mussels were very good.

It was a Sunday night. The waitstaff was excellent! I have not had a better mushroom risotto with scallops- ever! Peter had the braised short ribs and they were to die for.

The food was beyond delish! Had the crab pasta and the short rib…no words! I would drive three hours to eat that again! Gerry was our waiter and service was superb from everyone! Highly recommend!!

Enjoyable meal. Great service. We had the nightly special Lobster Risotto. Very good, generous amount of lobster. I recommend this restaurant

Rebecca

Great dinner in a cozy neighborhood spot. Short rib was excellent and be sure to save room for dessert.

Helen

The mussels and mushroom toast were show stoppers! The service was excellent and attentive. Highly recommend

Scott

Food was just OK. Bread was stale, soup not hot, salad barely any dressing. Service was great. Shame

My wife and twin infants stopped in on a Sunday morning at around 8:45am and were able to be seated right away. We were greeted with smiles and two high chairs were set up for us at our table — that was very accommodating.
It looked like the crowd was rolling in behind us for the morning.
The coffee was delicious— the best cup I had during my stay in the Portland area.
The staff was all very friendly, my boys enjoyed watching the gnocchi get rolled out and cut.
We had huevos rancheros, biscuits and gravy, and silver dollar pancakes.
Everything was spot-on. The amount of gravy on the biscuits was well portioned! The seasoning was great too.

It was a cute neighborhood spot that made me wish I had some place like the Front Room back home.
After we ate, we walked down a couple blocks to the park and enjoyed the rest of our morning.

Thanks y’all!

We had such a great experience last night! Delicious meals and drinks and absolutely outstanding service from Gerry (Jerry?). We’ll be back!

Corned beef hash did not disappoint. However, the biscuits and gravy seemed light on gravy and seasoning.

Overall, it was a good experience, but I think it could have been better.
