Cormac Riordan: When you want a good fancy dinner in Portland, there's really only two options. This is one of them.
Dylan Martin: Mussels, pork loin, chocolate torte. All friggin amazing.
Eater: The James Beard Award-winning chef was the first in Portland to incorporate ingredients from local farmers, fishermen and foragers. His rustic, seasonal menu changes daily. [Eater 18 Member]
Sam S: Expensive, but worth the money. Make no doubt about it, this is a high end Westin. Best location in Portland and fast wifi.
Hal Mackins: Great location, some nice water views, and a very swanky cocktail bar on the top floor. Our favorite spot for a weekend getaway in Portland.
Steve Jewell: Stayed as part of Honeymoon week in Maine/Mass. 7th floor suite...very nice furnishings. Killer breakfast in the hotel...comped. Great service and location. Walking distance to great eats and PMA...

Bagel Shop · 12 tips and reviews
Gregory Fisher: Matzoh ball soup here is poor, but everything else is delicious. Can’t go wrong with nova on a sesame bagel + anything else you fancy
Jeremy Fisher: Incredible bagel shop. Can't go wrong with the Classic Nova on an everything bagel
Maxwell Zaleski: the salmon lox is a perfect consistency. the slight sweetness of the bagels is reminiscent of Montreal-style bagels. don't be afraid of the long line--it moves quickly

Chocolate Store · Downtown Portland · 9 tips and reviews
Steve A: Great high end chocolates with creative flavors like bacon butter-crunch (it's amazingly delicious!). Everything is nut free which is great since my son suffers from serious nut food allergies
Derek C: Exquisite chocolate truffles, including salt caramel, as well as single malt scotch!
Maine Foodie Tours: Go inside and try free samples!
David Guerrieri: Good for a quick coffee plus they have breakfast sandwiches from Sisters Sandwich Shop - get the breakfast veggie😋
Max Brautigam: Love the space! My friends and I always used to come here to study in high school, but it was so popular we'd always get distracted by people we knew!
Kristopher Chavez: Hands down the coolest coffee shop in town. Why? Watch as they roast the beans (or sit at a table inside the "factory") while you are sipping. The roasters are focused, passionate and fun to watch.
JENNIFER Cook: Grilled Salmon, root vegetable hash, broccoli rabe, chopped prosciutto and a rich beuurre noisant with wilted spinach. AAAAMAZING!!
Dan MacLeod: The burgers are incredible, but come with a mountain of fries. No joke. Way. Too. Many. Fries.
Portland Old Port: Urban steakhouse with Portland flair. Super crisp calamari! check out the review at portlandoldport.com in the Portland Bites column! Read more.

Japanese Restaurant · Downtown Portland · 35 tips and reviews
Wesley Callahan: The four course dinner here is great to share. Get the pork belly and fried oyster and the lobster roll!
Eater: Miyake serves only fish from Maine waters or flown in from Japan. Chef Masa Miyake’s tasting menus paired with sake offer a world-class experience. [Eater 18 Member]
Visit Maine: New, larger location. Reputed to have the city's best omakase (Chef's Choice) and unique preparations. Note: it used to be BYOB.
