Back Bay Grill
Type A Diversions revisited Back Bay Grill and has written a new review for it.
“We enjoyed our dinner so much at The Back Bay Grill that it will now be on our short list of places to dine, rather than the once-or-twice a year visits we have done in the past. The service at The Back Bay Grill is highly professional; the wine list is the best in Portland; and the cuisine is exceptional.”
Single Serving Corry
Chef Steve Corry was interviewed in Single Edition, a website “that embraces the culture of single living” (via Main Food & Lifestyle). Corry is quoted in the article saying, “The way we see it is that if someone is willing to come in alone to dine with us then he/she has an elevated level of expectation that we will strive to exceed. Single diners are immediately viewed as friends of the restaurant so to speak.”
