Leasing, Moving, Building
- Leasing – There’s a “Restaurant for Lease” sign on the exterior of Katahdin. When I checked last week they were still open for business. [According to info supplied in one of the comments on this post Katahdin is moving to 25 Forest Ave.]
- Moving – According to a report from Portland Food Heads, Loco Pollo is moving to a new location—no details available yet on where they’re moving to.
- Building – There’s construction taking place at 50-52 Wharf Street where Cake and The Iguana used to be but no word yet on what’s going to be moving in there. [The comment from Portland207 also indicates that the Wharf Street location is slated to be a Cuban restaurant, and a comment from TJ has uncovered that the new spot will be a sister restaurant to Havana in Bar Harbor.]

Also all the windows signs for Luna Rossa have been removed. Restaurant is dead in the water it looks like.

Must be a last gasp…the place is really tired, the food boring. . Hopefully they can make it in the new space with some theatre business…

…agree with anon…there’s a reason TripAdvisor reviewers have crowned Katahdin the 117th best restaurant in Portland…

I called their corporate offices and they said that they’re shifting schedules now that tourism season has ended. They said they’ll be open Thursday-Saturday nights during the winter.
