Sean Nelson: The Dark Chocolate Sea Salt was excellent. So moist, and just enough salt taste to know it's there — not overwhelming.
Greg G: Quite possibly the best donuts I've had. Get the dark chocolate sea salt, you won't be sorry. Old fashioned, cinnamon sugar, and lemon were also excellent. Great iced coffee too (coffee ice cubes!)
Amanda Thompson: These donuts are absolutely incredible! They're all very moist, flavorful, and they just melt in your mouth! I recommend trying my favorites the dark chocolate sea salt donut and the bacon cheddar!
Hayley: Frozen coffee as ice cubes in iced coffee plus dark chocolate sea salt donuts equal best Sunday morning ever
Nikki Rodriguez: The chocolate sea salt donut and the lemon donut are delicious.
Hal Mackins: As everyone else says, the dark chocolate and sea salt donut is amazing. Coffee brandy is also a solid choice. Hell, they're all good!
Missy: SEA SALT CARAMEL or REAL MINT CHIP. Best ice cream in Portland, no contest!
Vatche Arabian: Believe everything you hear about the Maine Sea Salt Caramel.
Michelle Cauchi: Pretty much any flavor will win you over. Cereal milk, Indian pudding, Maine sweet cream, boiled coffee, Maine sea salt caramel are all solid choices.
Greg G: Excellent gelato. Friendly and helpful staff that let you try anything and everything. Recommend the strawberry balsamic or dark chocolate caramel sea salt. Wild Maine Blueberry also very good.
Maine Foodie Tours: Half & Half your choices. Here we tried Apple Vanilla with Strawberry Balsamic, Pomegranate Toffee with Bacio Sea Salt. They have 2500 flavors worth of recipes on file! We've got a long way to go...
Tiffany Ng: dark chocolate sea salt caramel ftw.

Trattoria Athena: You cannot go wrong with anything you order, seriously. And, if you like fun martinis, order an espresso martini. Hands down the best we've ever had.
Candace Karu: One of the best restaurants in a city of incredible restaurants. Ask for whatever Chef Larry Matthews recommends. You won't be sorry Read more.
Amanda Harmon: Went as part of a group for a birthday dinner. We did Hibachi. Food and chefs were excellent. Pricier than other hibachis I've been to. Love the decor, though I may be biased.
Thomas Drouin: The chef was friendly and entertaining. The food was excellent. Prices were a bit higher than I expected, but I'd go back. It was a lot of fun. We were at the Hibachi table.
Kate: Hella good lunch deals!! Great atmosphere and food and drinks :)

Jared: If you go for brunch, you have to try the house made corned beef hash. It is the best I have EVER had.
Portland Old Port: For brunch try the huevos rancheros, for dinner try something from the specials list, it's ever changing and always good. Wash it down with a Congress Street Bellini.
Anna Lib: Best place for brunch. Get the Fried Egg Sandwich.
