The Press Herald has reviewed the lunch options at Big Sky.
“It’s somewhat surprising to me that Big Sky Bread Company does lunch so well. I mean, it’s a bakery, so making great breads and baked goods is the priority. But the lunches are worth getting excited about too.”
This week’s Portland Phoenix takes a look at the impact of tourists on Portland restaurants and names Emilitsa the Best New Restaurant of 2008.
“While Greek cuisine is not exotic, Emilitsa shows the kind of deep loyalty to the clarity of a certain set of flavors and ingredients — in their case primarily lemon, olive, lamb, and yogurt — that more often emerges in larger cities that can cultivate the novel without external assistance.”
The Maine Switch has reviewed Burrito.
“When the temperature nosedives and the snow starts to fall, it’s convenient to have a way to escape the weather. One of my favorite getaways is ¡Burrito! in Westbrook, where the laid-back atmosphere and Latin-influenced fare make it feel like a South-of-the-Border vacation.”
Back Bay Grill received 5 stars from this week’s Taste & Tell review in the Maine Sunday Telegram.
“Excellent service and dinners are both part of the picture at Back Bay Grill, an elegant restaurant that makes you feel at home.”
The Press Herald has reviewed the meals to go options at the Forest Ave Hannaford.
“Located in the back corner of the store between the bakery and the deli-salad bar area, the little meals-to-go cafe offers fresh, hot food at really reasonable prices.”
Chris2fer has given David’s 2 stars (out of 5) after a disappointing meal at the Monument Square restaurant.
“I hadn’t been to David’s in over a year . . . there’s just so many places to try in Portland. It hadn’t changed much since I had been there. Not much, but enough . . . “
Type A Diversions has reviewed Bibo’s Madd Apple Cafe.
“Bibo’s Madd Apple Cafe serves eclectic comfort food at an incredible value . . . The cuisine is creative and hearty, and the service is friendly and upbeat. While I wouldn’t make it a destination restaurant, it is a convenient and delightful spot for a pre-theater meal.”
Cafe at Pat’s received 3½ stars from this week’s Taste & Tell review in the Maine Sunday Telegram.
“From the crispy flatbread of the day to the aromatic, marinated flank steak and especially the desserts, dinner at the Cafe at Pat’s Meat Market revealed excellent kitchen skills and a knack at accommodating customers.”
Type A Diversions has reviewed Walter’s.
“The lunch menu at Walter’s changes frequently. Although eclectic, the menu offers something for everyone without being boring. For dinner there are better choices in the area, but for lunch, Walter’s offers creative, consistently well prepared cuisine at moderate ‘sit-down’ prices.”
