Highly recommend if you are in the Portland area.“

“Fantastic menu! I felt like I just walked into a glamorous pub in England when I saw the menu choices. The cocktail list is loaded with great drinks AND there are two happy hours daily! I had a delicious toasted cheese sandwich with bacon and tomato —so huge I could barely finish half. It came with a heap of perfectly fried hand cut potatoes. My sister got a lovely bowl of French onion soup to start and the steak frites as a main course. There was a big sliced steak done to perfection! We will return regularly! *****“

“REGARDS is one of Portland’s more creative restaurants and a great choice when you want to try something different. The menu pulls together seafood, Mexican influences, and some unexpected flavors in a way that makes sharing a bunch of plates a lot of fun. The cocktails fit the food really well too. Definitely a spot for people who like adventurous menus instead of playing it safe.“

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

“We first stumbled across this distillery 4 years ago and we were so happy to have the opportunity to travel back. This distillery is skillful with barrel aging their spirits; their cocktails and rum juices are an utter delight so there's a little something for every palate. Jen was our bartender this time and she was amazing. Give Three of Strong a try; they're a wonderful place.“

“Salt Yard Cafe & Bar is a great spot with a relaxed atmosphere, good food, and a really welcoming feel. Mikey especially deserves a shoutout—he’s friendly, attentive, and makes the whole experience feel that much better. Great service can make a huge difference, and he absolutely adds to the vibe of the place. Definitely worth checking out whether you’re stopping in for food, drinks, or just looking for a comfortable local spot to hang out.“

“Great food made on the premises, including homemade desserts and sourdough bread. Try the charcuterie plate with several cheese, fruit, nuts, bread and a rotating sliced meat. Or the grilled shrimp or tuna, both yummy. Cocktails, wine, espresso -- choices galore. gotta love the espresso martini, even a decaf one! Jazz or blues background music, no headbanger stuff. Relax and enjoy...“

“The food here is amazing. The staff are super friendly. This restaurant has everything going for it other than someone watching over the operation. Time between table visits even on a slow night were unacceptable for the price. We still ate here every night because the food is that good and the staff are very nice just mismanaged unfortunately. Possible it was just an off weekend. We will definitely return to see.“

“Absolutely love Aloft, first time staying at this hip Hotel on Commercial St , in Old Port, best walk in shower ever,,, perfect location. Front desk receptionists were over the top in being helpful. Priced right for winter season“

“Top marks for our server who took extra care with our order, separating the soup and salad for sharing. The crab cakes were amazing! We ordered wine which was clearly chosen based on the taste and an easy pairing with menu items. The restaurant sits just outside the hotel allowing guests to enjoy a quiet spot in the city and the lovely outdoors.“

“Went for a lupper date with my husband on the referral of a friend. Had the Natalie house drink which was well balanced and bright for us gin lovers. Enjoyed thier spin on Poutine with a tater tots base. Lots of goo goodness with bacon and sausage. Sausage pizza with Vodka sauce had real Greek olives and was delicious. Will be back again!“

Meg was incredible, she went above and beyond to make sure that we had everything that we needed and that we had a very smooth celebration on the day of. The space was immaculate without having to do a ton of extra work. The venue was also in a great location and easy for folks to get to. Would highly recommend this beautiful venue and Meg is such a boss!“

We spend a lot of time at the Press Hotel and have personally witnessed him treating every guest with respect, class and above and beyond service.“

The wood-fired pizzas are really solid, the pasta is flavorful, and the small plates make it easy to order a bunch of things for the table. It has a comfortable local feel and is definitely an easy place to recommend for dinner and drinks.“
