Under Construction: Walter's
PortlandTown has published photos of the new Walter’s on Union Street which will re-open next week.
The bar area will feature a wall of wine at the far end. They plan on two private dinners on sunday and monday evenings for their contractors and family & friends as a shake out before opening to the general public on tuesday. For those of you who ate at the old place on Exchange street, this space will be a real shock. It has not only a totally different feel but also a different feel to any other space in Portland.
