A Good Beer Blog has reviewed a recent beer dinner at Bar Lola.

Beer and food? Absolutely!! I was full but not uncomfortably so. I discovered a couple beers and a cider that I would buy again as well as some recipes that I would love to copy. It was another fantastic evening at the ever creative and friendly Bar Lola. (via Portland Psst!)

1:00 a.m. Curfew has reviewed The Frog and Turtle.

The wine list is full of the average reds and whites – some you can only purchase by the bottle. I had a glass of petite syrah for $7 and my companion had a $6 white. Normally, I would have ordered a whiskey, but there’s something about the atmosphere that screams out wine.

New2Maine.com has reviewed Fajita Grill.

The meals were fine, but did not really stand out for either of us. The tequila overload probably didn’t help that any. I finished my meal and was comfortably full; Amber had to take home about half of hers. Surprisingly, she still had room for dessert, so an order of sopapillas … and concluded that it, like the rest of the food, was adequate but unremarkable.

Portland Magazine has reviewed StarEast Cafe.

For us, the shining star in StarEast’s sparkling firmament is the flat bread. A cross between a large inflated pita and an Indian poori, but with more substance and less oil than the poori, the bread alone will keep you coming back for more.

Chris2fer has reviewed David’s 388.

All in all, it was a great and surprising experience. If you get a hankering for David’s excellent food in the future, you should definitely head to South Portland to scratch that itch. Make sure your wallet is full, and you’ll leave happy.

Cornucopasetic has reviewed Asmara.

There aren’t that many places in Portland where one may find an entirely whole food vegetarian meal, but Asmara is certainly one of them. I knew about this place a few years ago, but never found the time to go. What a mistake.

The Miss Portland Diner received 3½ stars from this week’s Taste & Tell column in today’s Maine Sunday Telegram.

Simple, and straightforward, Miss Portland Diner’s classic informal meals show off fresh ingredients and a light touch, especially appetizing with their low prices.
