REVIEWS OF East Ender IN Maine

Cade Blackburn

Really good spot with convenient on street parking. Had the Braised Pork Shoulder, it was nice and tender. They have good drinks, good beer selection and reasonable price. Check them out.

Ann J. Adams

GREAT staff. Our waitress was phenomenal. Attentive and helpful. The food was wonderful, and do not miss the thrice fried fries. They were crispy and well seasoned. The menu is a bit limited, but available online so you can check it out beforehand if you have any concerns!!

Raphy & Sara Feolino

Quick, friendly service. Great location! Street parking. Order: Happy Hour CHICKEN LEG RILLETTES WITH HOUSE MUSTARD & PICKLES $7: this was so good! Especially loved the way the bread was prepared. FRIED FISH SANDWICH $13: delicious, lite, refreshing & filling. Salad was not drenched in dressing but could be a little less salty. The pickles were a highlight with each dish. They were very sweet!

Keri Hutchinson

Came here because the wait was long at Eventide. Omg how happy were we that we ended up here. The atmosphere was much more relaxed and the staff was super friendly. Also the FOOD was AMAZING! We had the fish and chips and gnocchi... both were creative dishes that tasted delicious!!

I thought the online menu was deceiving. If you're going to have a changing menu, you shouldn't post it online. The service was excellent which was the only reason this place is getting stars. Food was overpriced for the portion. I had the stew which had rice, garbanzo beans, 2 pieces of squash which were about 2.5x1.5x1.5 big, and two baby onions and the tiniest piece of chicken I've ever paid 5 dollar for. This meal totaled 17 dollars.

Good music, great food. Stopped by for brunch and was pleasantly surprised.

David W

Friendly place. Great food!

Stephanie Hardy

The food was amazing. The portions are a bit small, but the prices are tough to beat for such high quality food in Portland. We had our kids with us, they do have pasta or grilled cheese for the kids meals. Mine both got the grilled cheese and ate EVERYTHING on their plates, which is not normally the case. The pork was tender and incredibly flavorful. And definitely get the fried Brussels sprouts! We will definitely be going back!

Adam Crumpton

Great food nice environment and God service. The menu is fantastic it's definitely worth a try if you're local or visiting.

Bobby Bouthot

Next door to duck fat, very good neighbors

Neil Frutuoso

Sat at the bar twice on one weekend. They had a decent beer selection and the food was good. They are close by to Duck Fat and Eventide, don’t let the crowds in front of those places cloud your judgement, this is a great spot as well that is much easier to get into.

Ann J. Adams

GREAT staff. Our waitress was phenomenal. Attentive and helpful. The food was wonderful, and do not miss the thrice fried fries. They were crispy and well seasoned. The menu is a bit limited, but available online so you can check it out beforehand if you have any concerns!!

Chris Simari

Often overlooked as it's located nextdoor to well-known Duck Fat... East Ender had a great menu & drinks - I prefer the fries here to their neighbor's.

Dyanna Rapin

Came in 5 minutes before lunch was over; they were so nice and got our order in. We were starving and ordered several options. Everything was amazing, they didn’t rush us instead they chatted with us about the day.

Matthew Hartsough

Interesting cocktails, entrees were good, dessert was great.

Greg

All the food tried was good, great flavors and some fun options, but portions were incredibly small and expensive. Service was friendly but slow. I would look for other dining options in the area.

Dan Granucci

Great food and the burger is incredible. Im generally underwhelmed by burgers at restaurants but this was among the best i've had.

Margoe Shaw

So delicious!

Pam LB

Delicious lunch offering.

Madeleine Brown

Venue: good ambiance and music, pretty hipster Staff: friendly and fast Food: good but not great value for the price Drinks: I got the cider one night and a lemon drop the next, both good Food Not pictured: soft pretzel: very small, nothing special Wings: very tasty rub and sauce Chili fries: tasty smoky pork chili I wouldn't recommend it because for the price the food isn't that amazing and the drinks are not cheap. But if you are fine with the price, the food is not bad.

Matt Naylor

Great atmosphere. Friendly and knowledge staff. Delicious menu. Excellent beer, wine and coctail selection

James O'Shea

Their happy hour was phenomenal. We walked in because the place next door had a crazy wait. We were upset we didnt go in here straight off the bat. Great service and prices. Would definitly go back.

Benjamin Clancy

The food that they had was ok. The staff was friendly enough. We were told we couldn't get scrambled eggs because the chef doesn't like to make scrambled eggs, we were informed they were out of one thing when we tried to order, then after our order was taken the waiter came back and told us they only had 2 of one item and one of another, so only one person in our party actually got what they wanted. Also the food selection wasnt really that great. The homemade doughnut was pretty good though.

Michael Dagenhart

Great place!

Brad Byther

A really relaxed and wonderful evening & great dinner. Enjoyed this nice booth seating overlooking the Portland Harbor

Shelley Goff

Everything was amazing, especially the service! Laid-back but still felt very special.

Eric Williams

Five

Julianne Nolan

Nice service, but it was freezing inside and our food took way way too long! We ordered immediately upon arriving and waited an hour + between ordering and actually getting served. The food itself was not my favorite- my boyfriend got the pork belly which was good but the cavatelli I ordered was hard and lacked flavor. Overall not the best experience.

Berk USTA

Great entrées that range from seafood to chickpeas. Pleasantly surprised. Nice waiting staff, too.

Dean Breaux

Best mussels ever had great food

Karyn Cote

Grilled cheese w/mushrooms a true delight!

Samuel Adiv

Amazing flavor and creative menu

Tod Bramble

Very nice. Cold rainy mid-May day. I'll admit we only came over for a beer while we waited for our table next door but I will be back. Looked like really good food.

luke lucier

Terrible experience! The service was extremely slow. I ordered ribs and ended up with food poisoning. My girlfriend's received a few small chunks of over cooked brisket. On top of it all, my server added her own tip to the bill. Last I knew that's considered theft. I would avoid this place like the plague.

Trevor Knott

I've been to East Ender a couple times and it has always been good to me. Great selection of beer, on tap and in bottles. Bartenders and wait staff are always a pleasure. The food is always top notch as well with delicious flavors.

Geoffrey Bonneau

Excellent food and service

Keri Hutchinson

Came here because the wait was long at Eventide. Omg how happy were we that we ended up here. The atmosphere was much more relaxed and the staff was super friendly. Also the FOOD was AMAZING! We had the fish and chips and gnocchi... both were creative dishes that tasted delicious!!

borobasketball7 .

We had a wonderful experience eating here! Great Bloody Mary’s and their eggs in purgatory is top five meals I’ve ever had (pictured below). Cody the bartender is an awesome guy and makes some incredible drinks! Highly recommend this place to anyone stopping in Portland!

Nicole Niedringhaus

My first time dining at East Ender was great but sadly the second time didn't live up to the expectations. I'm not sure if it was a mistake or a poor recipe but the risotto was flavorless! The dish consisted of watery rice with chunks of lobster and pea pods - completely devoid of any broth, flavor, cheese, milk, or seasoning. The rest of our food was good but the risotto spoiled an otherwise nice experience.

mike Giaquinto

Great food. Really nice location. Excellent drinks. Not too pricey

Emma Bivona

One of the best restaurants I have ever been to! Amazing food and a great atmosphere. We got the cesar salad, braised pork shoulder, grits and fried brussel sprouts. The salad was perfectly dressed, the meat was cooked really well. The atmosphere was perfect for a romantic but somewhat casual date, cozy low light with a rustic Maine look.

Matthew Campbell

Funky downtown eatery

Nicholas Waterman

Overstar....by half. Food ehhh service was very hospitable. Late lunch and in between shifts. Thank you for the drinks....

Jeanne Supin

Been here twice for lunch while traveling in Maine on business. Strong menu, great flavors, and food, wonderful service. Today had a chowder that was fabulous. A sweet spot.

Jasper Boyd

Great cocktails and a truly special fish and chips!

John Grant

Hearty, rich meals, great prices, cozy atmosphere. We loved the gnocchi with mushrooms and also the spicy pappardelle. A side of perfectly prepared, savory roasted brussel sprouts. The wine list is small but varied, and there are a few great local beers as well. There is a full bar with interesting cocktails, though we didn't sample any. We will go back for sure.

Lauren Garrard

Grabbed a few drinks during their Saturday happy hour (!!!) Great menu, nice strong drinks, and even nicer staff. They even use paper & bamboo straws instead of plastic!

Rock Pulak

Nice burgers and fries. Bit pricey but hey, it's Portland.

Doug McKeown

Great food and drinks at reasonable prices. Have to try the smoked pork belly. Burgers are awesome too.

Jenn La

Secretly one of the best restaraunts in Portland...so.good.

Matthew Lee

I had an amazing meal here of lobster risotto, that was rich and creamy and full of lobster meat. The chefs really prepare some amazing dishes and specials. They have a fun drink menu and serve some really delicious concoctions. The food is to rave about but be prepared to spend the money.

borobasketball7

We had a wonderful experience eating here! Great Bloody Mary’s and their eggs in purgatory is top five meals I’ve ever had (pictured below). Cody the bartender is an awesome guy and makes some incredible drinks! Highly recommend this place to anyone stopping in Portland!

Dean Oliver

Not bad. Not my favorite but some creativity. Would try something different going back to see if it pays off a little more.

Morganne Gagne

Well-executed, creative dishes in a cozy atmosphere.

Gregory Buzzell

Very allergy conscious, courteous, and timely service. Excellent food! Well worth revisiting!

Jose Nunez

Not impressed.. the menu they have posted is not there menu any more, and when we asked the staff they said that was from last owner.. food was over priced and flavors where definitely not up to par. Not a big option to pick from And Would never ever go back.

David Kennedy

Great happy hour!

Chris Saccardi

Had a delicious meal here. The duck was outstanding as was the pasta with walnut pesto and mushrooms. The fish and chips was good, although I would have preferred it less deep fried. Drinks were excellent as was our server!

Ralph Gabarro

Great new restaurant

Bridget Savage

Wonderful food and fantastic cocktails in a cozy, upscale setting.

Brian Feucht

Fantastic burger and good beer selection

mike Giaquinto

Great food. Really nice location. Excellent drinks. Not too pricey

Nathan Patwardhan

I have mixed feelings about this restaurant in its current incarnation. On one hand, the food is very good, and I enjoy it. As someone who's into veg/hybrid recipes, imagine my surprise that the tartare and burger are my favorite selections on the menu! On the other, the service has been absolutely terrible, almost every time, in the 4 times we have been there. Plus, you get the inevitable friends of the kitchen staff, at the bar, who distract the kitchen staff, and general lack of care in managing service and/or customer satisfaction, that make me want to go someplace else. As someone who has worked in restaurants professionally, experiencing a restaurant that's MARGINAL, at best, service-wise, then seeing its staff congregated about the bar is a MAJOR turn off. Does anyone manage this place? I just spent 113 + tip at this restaurant. I can spend the same at a number of other popular local restaurants, and receive far better service. If this restaurant was smart or good on any level, they would have up settled us promptly on our chit, since on this an off night, and with the proper service for drinks and food, our base would have been 160+. Ever wonder why other restaurants are killing it on a Wednesday, at peak time, when East Ender is practically empty? Case closed. You have to manage your service better, or you're done.

Gary Fernandes

Excellent chilli and lime chicken wings. Spaghetti squash went remarkably well with hake fish and chips. Thrice cooked fries were fantastic, but have them hot for maximum effect.

Jessica S

Amazing service at the bar upstairs with Jeff! Great cocktails and the food is so good. Well worth a visit!

Peter Jaxon

The wait staff was super friendly, professional and discreet. Our food was tasty and we were seated immediately, even without a reservation. Beer was good. I'd go again and recommend!

Jeremy Hayes

This was my first meal in Portland, and it was fantastic! The staff were so friendly and welcoming with our kids. The bartender made great drinks and great recommendations. The food was delicious.

Carolyn Goff

We made a reservation for a late lunch on a Saturday in February. They had our reservation and after a little wait, sat us at a table (the room was empty) and then we waited and waited and waited. My in-laws were not happy waiting, so we told them thank you but we're not staying. This second time we took a friend who we were visiting in Portland, as she loves this restaurant. Again, we had a long wait just for someone to see we were waiting at the door. Then there was a lot of communication issues, but about what I don't know. We finally decided to just go sit at the bar. And had a great experience with Cody! He took great care in our drink prep (loved the Lemon Ginger Drop) and got our meals ordered and without too long we were enjoying our dinners. Pappardelle, Chicken Salad and a Burger. I'm not sure why there are communication issues with whoever is supposed to run front of the house. We've never been upstairs either. I just think with all the competition in Portland of fabulous places to eat, they should think about this detail.

John Osterman

Had a pretty bad first experience. First off, some jerk douchey patron called me an idiot (per my significant other already inside) when I was looking down cleaning off my boots and missed the "use other door sign" affixed to the window seven feet above ground, and commented on how I couldn't read. (To note, the correct door to use says "lounge upstairs" so it's a touch misleading, thinking that's the lounge door). Slow service. There are six tables. We were the latest of four taken tables total (mostly parties of two). Got ignored for the couple that came in after us, no big deal. Finally got order in. Waited on drinks. The party with jerkface was sat a short while afterwards, ordered wine, and server literally went to pour it right away. Still no drink. Asked again, it was obviously forgotten. Bloody Mary made with fish oil or something, so it was gross, unfortunately. Seemed overwhelmed with the four tables, now adding a fifth, so the overall feel was just that we were an annoyance. Food was okay, nothing special. Fries and Brussels Sprouts were actually pretty good. We were there because of the long wait next door, and cold weather. Last time we'll make that decision.

Kerry Angell

Interesting menu options and some good fallbacks like burgers. Service staff was friendly knew the menu. Nice rustic atmosphere.

Eric Shimits

We stopped in for lunch. Friendly servers and good atmosphere, but the food was mediocre at best. The “thrice cooked” fries were clearly just dipped back into the fryer to heat up after sitting for awhile. There are other better options nearby.

Norman Hutchins

Great food & drinks, nice atmosphere!

Moniefia Maitland

Awesome drinks, friendly staff.

Dalton Bassett

Not as many beer choices as I would have expected, but my fish was incredible. It was a little more expensive than I was hoping to find, but I wasn't disappointed in the quality.

Inna Z

We walked in because the wait in nearby restaurant was too long. It was a mistake. My lobster risotto barely had any lobster and it wasn't risotto, just over cooked rice. The burger lacked salt, was falling apart, and was tasteless.

Michael S

Went with two other couples and was pleasantly surprised at how strong the menu is as well as the prices for the entrées. They have a small bar and small dining area both upstairs and downstairs. We sat near the door and every time the door open it was a little on the chilly side for people closest to the door. The service was exceptional and the food was delicious. Can be a little challenging down in this neck of the old port...But definitely worth finding and enjoying. Will definitely be coming back!

Glenn Gomes-Casseres

Try the Asian slaw

Birghandi Weeden

Great food

Lisa Rush

Great service unique delicious food and selection for lunch service. Extensive drink menu eclectic and atmosphere friendly!

Roman Popov

Located right next to DuckFat, East Ender has surprisingly less folks. So if in doubt whether you will be able to grab a table during rush hour or lunch, don't fret - they will likely be able to accommodate you. I'd highly recommend trying chicken wings in lime rub and brussel sprouts - these both were really impressive appetizers!!!

C Elizabeth

Stopped in for cocktails, absolutely delicious. Wish we hadn't made dinner reservations elsewhere. Will be back for sure

Dominic Fusco

Great place

Belle Elizabeth Krause

Super friendly staff, delicious drinks, and incredible food. We were seated almost immediately, our server was so helpful and sweet, and the lobster melt was one of the top 5 best sandwiches I have ever had in my life.

Elin Huus

Good food and service.

Alex Richards

I really liked the staff and the vibe, unfortunately I didn't feel so amazed by the food considering its Maine. Still a nice spot though.

Ken Ku

Cozy place to enjoy some local food. Nothing fancy but all the food was great. Good drink options and friendly service.

Cathy Brackett

Rachel the bartender was awesome. We enjoyed her talent and her recommendations. We will be back!

Benjamin Link

Im not one of those fancy smancy food critics that takes reviews too seriously, I just know a good soup when I taste one and a good beer selection when I see one. Trust me.

James Sardina

My 12 year old son review of the lobster melt was AWESOME. Both of my sons want to go back the next day for lunch.

Heleen Raes

We stumbled upon this cute restaurant by accident and are very happy about it! We arrived around 8:30PM and were still gracefully seated near the window by the lovely host/server. They have an extensive drink menu and a smaller food menu, but it has something for everyone. Most of the food came from local farms and businnesses so it’s a great way to support those and have a lovely meal!

Caroline Menard

Awesome service, everything was delicious. Get the warmed olives and chicken wings.

Gary C

Excellent food. The server was friendly, attentive and gave thoughtful suggestions.

Ki Fong

The Maine lobster and mushrooms grit was sooo delicious! The place is cozy and the staff are very friendly.

Steven Jefairjian

Very nice place.... great bartender upstairs, relaxed, cool wait staff, interesting bar snacks and apps. I had a wonderful time!

Mary Atala Lessard

Excellent service & delicious food.

Stuart Watson

Quaint with excellent and reasonably priced food.

John Picklesimer

Great food. Friendly staff.

Betty Piazza

Cute and quaint. Really small, though.

Andrew Elegante

I've only been here for brunch but it was fantastic. I'd seen an amazing dish on the website that wasn't labeled and didn't seem to match anything on the menu so I ordered the duck hash (their signature). Turns out it was the dish on the website (!) and it was amazing. The hash part is done as more of a croquet/tater tot which adds an interesting texture and the squash it came with had a delightful orange zest in it. Very yum. Did not try any cocktails but the coffee was good

Rufus Doofus

One of my favorite restaurants in Portland.

Jeffrey Vincent

4 &1/2 stars. Dishes were interesting and well prepared. The service was very good, prompt, polite and accurate. We we're brought deep fried bacon as a complimentary appetizer, which was actually the least "appetizing" food on the table.

A Hattaway

A small eatery good for a quick, satisfying meal. Menu is concise, making selection easy. Decent beer and wine options. Service was rushed, which was strange on a winter Monday night with low traffic.

Maria Kent

Great food. Amazing dessert. Awesome staff!

Patricia Auger

Great burger!

Ricky Motschwiller

Awesome mussels, they were huge.

David San Antonio

Nice little restaurant. The staff is very nice and friendly. I recommend making reservations as it is on the small side and can get busy at times. The food is good but it is not very filling. It is also on the expensive side. I recommend going at least once to try it!

Just And

Have eaten there three times and food/service have been great each time. Bacon jelly in the house burger was awesome. Excellent tap list

Christopher Coe

A 15 minute wait quickly turned into 30 despite several four-tips open, and our waters were never refilled. The food was fine, but this really seems like a place just to have a beer while you wait to be seated next door at Duckfat.

Kollin Wasserlein

The waitress so clearly hated us. She hid the happy hour menu from us (we came in well within the window) and was very annoyed when we asked for it. The thrice cooked fries are over complicating something that’s easy, and they are not worth eating. The burger was pretty solid, though it would be better with tomato and lettuce. Guess they’re going for a simple vibe. Drinks were pretty good! I think this could’ve been a better experience with a server that didn’t hate us. I wonder what we did. She should talk to management if she doesn’t like the specials.

Briana Wagner

Great brussel sprouts, outdoor seating, and service

AJ Stangl

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful!

Kelsey Raymond

Go here for the Gin & Tonic alone - they make their own tonic in-house and have seasonal flavors!

Tony Manzella

Very good food and friendly staff. Our entrees were awesome. The dessert was not quite as good but still very good.

kim gilpatrick

Small intimate place great for lunch or dinner. Really good food!

Nicole Wilkinson

Very tasty, nice beer and wine selection, a little pricey for lunch but quality of food made it worth it. Friendly service and no wait. Kids said we should come back :).

Annette Bowden

Interesting menu... friendly staff...very eager to please...

Christopher Woodcock

Great food at a great price. Had the chicken fried stake for brunch.

Matt

Great food and friendly staff in a cozy spot. It seems like they pick up a lot of the overflow from Duckfat, but people should make this a destination in it's own right.

Gretchen Davidson Platt

Amazing drinks but really the music brought us right back.

Jonathan Whalen

Very cozy well decorated atmosphere. Food was excellent. Went for brunch, had duck confit and breakfast sandwich, both were great! Highly recommend this place

Killer Rune

Food was good and drinks were strong. Good atmosphere but could be cleaner but nothing that stopped us from eating there. The downside is the price and wait. Waited over half an hour for a burgwr and chicken sandwich. Paid $100 dollars for three drinks, small snack, burger with fries and chicken sandwich with salad.

renee sims

Amazing restaurant that we stumbled upon. Food, drinks, service and atmosphere is an A+

Eliza Trauger

overall really not impressed. lobster sandwich was extremely wet, mediocre flavor. beet salad was meh. pork belly app was meh. only actually delicious thing on anyways plate was a piece of fried haddock that was fried to perfection. wouldn't return.

Lauren Manera

Great drinks downstairs AND upstairs. Folks who own and work there are nice. Food is very good. Everything from app to dessert is freshly prepared and delish.

Jonathan Whalen

Very cozy well decorated atmosphere. Food was excellent. Went for brunch, had duck confit and breakfast sandwich, both were great! Highly recommend this place

gary j Monnig

The food was to die for. The services was great. Definitely recommend East ender. If you are near by, or far away make your way here for some great food.

Charles Miranda

Not good.we were told to come in at 11 and there would no problem getting a table for 2.when we showed up.we were told a 2 hour wait. I won't go back

Sylvain Petit

The grilled cheese are amazing. Good beer selection.

Joseph Crodelle

Kimberly Halkiotis

Chris Lambe

Michael Alfaro

Place is underrated since its next to Duckfat. I would highly suggest this place due to the ambience and really great menu. I had some of the best muscles here and Gnochii. They have a great selection of beers and cocktails on top if it.

Lori Jackson

Amazing food. Wonderful staff. It's a good idea to make a reservation.

Austin Moore

Solid meal, good place to go if you want something unique that feels traditional

Morgan Kirby

Really Good food and drinks but small selection for the price. Still a place I'd come back to for a special night

John McDonough

5 of us had dinner this evening and enjoyed it very much. 2 burgers, 1 fish and chips, chickpea and chicken. Good selections of beer and drinks. Only negative is portion sizes are smaller than normal entrees and appetizers, all food was more like bar bite size. It was enough food but a bit pricey for portion size. Might go back..

Rod Robertson

First time back in 2 years. Menu more complicated than before but good, and slightly more expensive.

Stephanie Tankersley

Good food

Evan

Really good seafood and fries. The fries are AMAZING!

Lauren Gamble

Ok

Chris Miller

The food was mediocre at best - service and ambiance were both good. We won't be returning.

Ellen Huang

The server was incredibly nice. The food was a feast for the eyes and stomach. I highly recommend the duck breast, pork belly, grilled octopus and trout.

Maureen Topa

I went here with two other people for my birthday this past Monday. Honestly, I'm surprised there aren't more reviews?! It's a little small inside on the first floor, but cute. There is also an upstairs which is pretty large with nice views out the windows. Maine lobster nachos and fried sweet potato w/ honey mustard = both awesome. Main entrees were awesome. The quality of everything was very high and we will definitely be going back.

breezy

Our third time eating here and still as great as the first. Awesome beer selection and a nice assortment of food options. I went with the smoked burger last time and it was delicious. This time, I got the grilled chicken tikka sandwich and it was even better. So good - will be back again next time!

Gordon O'Brien

Amazing food and super friendly service! Everything on the menu looks delicious!

Les Lewis

Nice place good food

Philippe Pinatel

The mussels with andouille was incredible. The whole menu is great. Love it !

Amanda Del Bove

Very unique take on a Caesar salad. Delicious

Wes Mills

Duck confit Benedict was delicious. Service wasn't great but I hope it was just a bad day.

Kristy Higginbotham

We loved this restaurant. Great vibe, interesting and tasty drinks made with local homemade syrups. Yummy! We both had the burger. Who knew smoked hamburger was so delicious! Recommend medium well though if you don't want any red juices! Great music. Spencer was our bartender - top notch!!

Carolyn

The best smoked hake soup!

Holly Stires

Fast, friendly service and delicious food! They also have a Temperance drink menu so you can have something non-alcoholic.

Scott McCorvey

Awesome place. Great ambiance, great service, and a unique menu that is as tasty as it sounds. I know one person who won't be eating at their neighbor anymore! Try East Ender and you won't regret it!

Megan Rabideau

An unexpected delight. We dropped in as a group of six on a Sunday afternoon and were told the kitchen was about to close. We were fortunate to have been not 10 minutes later, because each person in my party was greatly impressed by her entree! (I had the pork belly sandwich.) The service was good too.

Ryan Gay

Amazing bar staff.

Nathaniel Davis

Great atmosphere. Cool local spot, recommend he Lobster Melt!

David DeNinno

I really enjoyed the atmosphere here, and our food was absolutely delicious. Good service and good drink selection too - definitely recommend!

Julie C

Nice ambiance, simple menu, staff was friendly. Only complaint was that I ordered the gnocchi and it was SO salty, almost inedible because of the amount of salt even though the rest of the ingredients were really good. Also just be aware that the portion sizes are quite small.
