New Jersey blogger, A Slice of Earthly Delight recently visited Portland. She’s posted reviews of The Porthole and Street & Co.
What did I love most about Portland, Maine? Everything. Well, besides the amazing people I stayed with I’d have to say that a highlight of the trip was being treated to an exquisite dinner at Street and Company, located at 33 Wharf Street.

Mekhong Thai received 3 stars from the Taste & Tell review in the Maine Sunday Telegram.
Mekhong Thai has stood its ground for almost a decade, serving Thai dishes that rely on some tasty basics to please, like crunchy coatings and sweet and cream, aromatic sauces. Revved up with some hot spice, which transforms the sauces into something more sophisticated, dinner at Mekhong Thai has an appetizing allure that makes me a little uneasy.
One for the Table has published a review of Nosh,
These tasty morsels surpassed my expectations and I would eat them everyday if I had the opportunity. Perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, with ketchup or their chipotle mayo, I could have skipped the sandwiches and been perfectly satisfied. One of the best things I’ve put in my mouth this year. They should sell little containers of the Bacon Dust. They’d make a killing.
and Portland Bar Guide has published a review of Havana South.
There’s no doubt that Havana South is classy and word is spreading fast about the atmosphere, food and specialty drinks. Highly recommended for date night, sophisticated family gatherings and happy hour with your girl friend.
Maine Travel Maven published a review of The Salt Exchange.
I went with the duck sliders paired with the cioppino; my lunch date chose the brie and the pumpkin-lobster bisque. We substituted orders of house-made truffle chips and caper chips for the plain ole regular variety. The chips arrived first, and I would have munched happily on these all day. The truffle won, but the caper flavor was darn close.
Appetite Portland published a review of Blue Spoon,
I want to love Blue Spoon. Menu items are creative and fairly priced. Produce and meats seem local and fresh. Service is friendly and fast. And yet – more often than not – I’m perplexed and underwhelmed by the culinary execution.
and From Away has published a review of Kon Asian Bistro.
It doesn’t bring us any joy to give a restaurant a negative review…If what you are after, though, is any kind of acceptable take on Chinese, Thai, or Japanese food, or even any kind of self-aware, kitschy “Asian fusion” cuisine, you are going to be sorely disappointed in Kon. It is, quite simply, really bad food.
The Blueberry Files has published a review of Otto/Enzo Pizza.
I was so happy when Otto Pizza came to town. Before their arrival, I didn’t have a good go-to slice bar in town, having been disappointed with Bill’s Pizza and not loving the New York Slice Bar. But Otto changed my pizza life- I love their pizza and want to eat it all the time. OK, I’m exaggerating, but it is the perfect place to stop whenever you’re out with friends on the First Friday Art Walk, out drinking, or just want to have a good, no frills dinner.
The Blueberry Files has published a review of WhaddaPita.
There’s tons of options at Whaddapita! and judging from the delicious little Gyro snack I had there, I’ll be back to sample more of their menu when I need another break from the office.
Colucci’s received 4 stars from the Eat & Run review in today’s Press Herald.
The chicken alfredo is not a regular menu item. It comes and goes at random. But what a great dinner it was. Served with a side salad and dinner roll, the alfredo was creamy, and the broccoli fresh and crunchy. The chicken was hot and tender, and quite moist.

Appetite Portland has published a review of Bar Lola.
I love the food. I love the menu structure. I love the complete lack of pretension of owners Guy & Stella Hernandez. In short, I am horribly biased.
So, if you abhor odes – you might as well stop reading now.
But, if you want to know why Bar Lola is one of the best, most consistent and welcoming restaurants in Portland – read on.
