“Second time here, and again so good! Can’t wait to come back!!“

“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“

“Sure, Mabel! Here’s a polished, friendly review letter you can use: --- Restaurant Review I recently visited this restaurant for the very first time, and I was truly impressed from start to finish. The food was so delicious that I actually found myself wishing I could get the recipes to make the dishes at home later. I ordered the chicken sandwich, and it was one of the most unique and flavorful sandwiches I’ve ever had. Every bite was incredible. My friend ordered the steak and cheese, and it must have been amazing because she ate every last bite of it without hesitation! The staff deserves special recognition as well. They were excellent, kind, and especially patient with my service dog in training, who is only five months old. Their understanding and welcoming attitude made the whole experience even better. Overall, this was a wonderful first visit, and I will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!“

It’s always a win when great service meets great food—thank you, DeAngelo’s! From all of us at S.B. Taylor Transport, we appreciate you!“

“We ate here after finding out one of our favorite places for Chinese food closed and we were pleasantly surprised to find this one not to far from where we use to go. It’s a small place that seems to do big business. It’s one of those places that you might just drive by and not notice but you would be missing out if you do. When we go to Portland and are in the mood for Chinese food this is where we will be going. Great food and super friendly folks. Definitely give them a chance I don’t believe you will regret it 😁.“

“I can’t express enough how good the food is and how hardworking the employees are. They are so sweet and work so hard. The food is absolutely delicious, can’t recommend it enough. Me and my family always go to them whenever we are in the area and it’s become such a fond memory for us. The chicken teriyaki is beyond the best and I crave it all the time. You just have to go! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“I stopped in on a whim and boy I’m glad i did! We created by a very friendly host and then sat at a table and immediately greeted by our server whom was beyond amazing! His name is Erik (Eric) in sure of spelling! But he was friendly and warm and made us feel completely welcome the entire time! Ask for him if you want great service! It’s hard to find these days . Thank you for a great day out that doesn’t happens often . You Erik made it great THANK YOU!“

“We so enjoyed our takeaway from Taco Trio. Wish we had picked a nicer night so we could have sat outside. (FYI, more tables outside than in. A small bar inside.) The guys were helpful and friendly and our wait was relatively short considering it was very busy.“

“Food came on time as promised, there were two things out of stock, but they called me before the delivery to offer substitutions or refunds, The girl that called was very professional and I believe went above and beyond to make my delivery what I wanted.“

“Just happened to stop here yesterday for a late lunch! So glad we did! My husband has had their pizza before I hadn't. The pizza was soo delicious! I ordered a Pineapple, Bacon & Hot Honey small pizza. It was one of the BEST pizza's I've ever eaten! I didn't take my receipt so I can't remember our waiters name & I wish I could because he deserves a shout out! He was amazing!! Would definitely recommend! & will definitely be back!“

“Best pizza we have EVER had. Fries great too“

“Love their variety of drink & food choices! I have dined here multiple times and have always had a great meal! Also love the atmosphere! You quickly forget that you are eating in a hotel restaurant!“

“I would just like to tell a very short story about how my friend Rex who is 65 years old he is a homeless man out of the Portland area. I took him in to Denny's in Portland to get breakfast on a cold Winter's day in January 2022. We ordered our food with our server who was very rude and after eating our cold yucky breakfast my friend Rex was refused a bathroom to use and then the manager came out and told us for NO REASON, to leave and never come back! It was the worst experience because all my friend Rex needed was a hot breakfast he doesn't bother anyone and never sticks up for himself or creates a fuss! So in looking for another breakfast place to eat we found IHOP in Portland and from the start of walking into that restaurant was so nice and clean the hostess was amazing and sat us immediately with a smile our server Bethany she was amazing so nice and kind she took our order and treated us like human beings she was not judgmental and she took our order the same way she takes everyone's orders with a smile and gracious heart! My friend Rex absolutely loves his fried eggs and his bacon so we now visit the Portland IHOP twice a week. I had told the servers about what had happened to us with our experience at Denny's and the server from IHOP told Rex and myself that we were allowed at IHOP anytime and that they would love to have us!! I can't even tell you how much this warms my heart knowing that I can take my friend who has fallen on some hard times into a restaurant to eat a very nice warm meal and have the best servers in the best wait staff around us! You are amazing IHOP and we love you so much! We will be there every Tuesday and Friday for bacon and eggs comforted by the graciousness and smiles of everyone in the restaurant at IHOP! Keep on being the most amazing restaurant in the world because from my point of view you absolutely are! We love you IHOP thank you so much for your hospitality!“

“My husband and I came to Applebee’s recently, and we had such a wonderful experience! From the moment we arrived, everything was great, but what really made our visit special was our server, Cadea (the blonde-haired girl). She was absolutely amazing!

Cadea was incredibly kind, friendly, patient, and attentive throughout our entire meal. She made us feel very welcomed and comfortable, and she was always so sweet whenever she came to check on us. She never made us feel rushed, even when we took our time deciding what we wanted. Her patience and positive attitude really stood out to us.

You can tell that Cadea genuinely cares about providing good service. She was very professional while still being warm and personable, which made our dinner with my husband even more enjoyable. She made sure we had everything we needed and that everything was going well throughout our visit.

The food was also really good and fresh, and we were both very happy with our meals. The whole experience—from the food to the atmosphere to the service—was excellent.

We especially want to recognize Cadea because great customer service like hers deserves to be appreciated. Having someone who is so patient, kind, and welcoming makes such a big difference when you’re dining out. We will definitely remember her and would be happy to come back again! Thank you, Cadea, for making our visit such a pleasant experience! You did an amazing job, and Applebee’s is lucky to have you.“

“Once everyone else orders at the hibachi, you can't add anything, so be sure you know what you want before everyone orders or you're out of luck and won't have anything to eat from the hibachi. Their maki rolls are good. The avo-kyu is great.“

“We had a great grandparent dinner at UNOs last night with three “greats” 86, 88, and 91 years old!!! Two grandparents and a three year old toddler completed our crowd. We began needing coffee and our server, Maci, was quick to say, “I’ll be happy to brew you a new pot…coming right up!” She was very good with our youngster, respectfully asking her if she’d like to order for herself, which she was able to do with the kid friendly menu bearing photos of each choice. Our pizzas were absolutely delicious and varied between deep dish, thin crust, and gluten free pies. Several of us had hot honey on the pizza, which…just sayin’…was extra tasty! The gluten free dough is the best I’ve ever had! Part of a successful restaurant experience is in the service. Maci took very good care of us, was attentive, personable, and speedy with our order. It was a pleasure to dine at UNOs! Thank you!“
