Veranda Thai, received 4½ stars from this week’s Eat & Run review in the Portland Press Herald.

1:00 a.m. Curfew has reviewed Howie’s Pub.

“Cheap drinks and food aren’t the only reason to visit Howie’s. The atmosphere is turbo-friendly. You feel it when you walk through the door.”

The Maine Switch has reviewed Market Street Eats.

“With both speed and good taste on its side, Market Streets Eats is a boon for the worker in a rush. “

Type A Diversions has reviewed Hot Suppa!.

“Hot Suppa is a perfect place for a casual breakfast. The menu is diverse and offers something for everyone, the food is well prepared, and the portions are generous.”

Travels with Hilary has published reviews of North Star Music Cafe,

“North Star’s fare leans toward good for you and good for the planet”,

and Silly’s,

“Silly’s is retro refined, with Formica tables and red vinyl and metal chairs, tin ceiling, and walls lined with photos of customers displaying Silly’s bumper stickers in far-flung locations.”

The Portland Phoenix has reviewed Back Bay Grill.

“Opened 20 years ago on an odd bayside corner, the Back Bay Grill looks seasoned rather than old. The front room and bar are truly lovely – with vintage lamps kept low, dark wainscoting, and a darker inlaid ceiling. A bustling open kitchen sits right on top of the bar, behind a curtain of copper pans.”

The Portland Press Herald has reviewed One Eyed Jacks Pizza.

“When I heard that One Eyed Jacks Pizza on Commercial Street in Portland had outstanding pizza, I assumed (totally my bias) that the cooks there must make a thick-doughed pizza. I was wrong, but, as it turns out, delightfully so.”

Type A Diversions has reviewed Bonobo, a pizzeria in the West End.

“Their thin and crisp crusted pizzas feature fresh, unusual toppings; the restaurant itself is laid back, yet sophisticated enough for a casual date night on the town. Though I wouldn’t make Bonobo a regular destination, I certainly wouldn’t hesitate to dine there again when in the area.”

Accidental Vegetables has reviewd the Ohno! Cafe on Brackett Street. “All of the food at the OhNo! is fresh, delicious, and affordable. Chris, the owner, is a great guy who is always coming up with new recipes to wow our tastebuds.”
