Type A Diversions has reviewed Katahdin.
“Expecting casual comfort fare, I was pleasantly surprised to find a menu featuring more creative cuisine. Every dish we tasted was well executed. I only wish I had not waited so long to try Katahdin and look forward to a return visit in the future.”
Norm’s Bar & Grill received 4 stars from this week’s Taste & Tell review in the Maine Sunday Telegram.
“Reliable, inexpensive and highly flavored dishes come from this kitchen dedicated to eeking the best out of the basics.”
1:00 a.m. Curfew has reviewed the bar at Yosaku.
“I love me some sake. There’s little I love more than spending a few hours (and paychecks) in Yosuku.”
Down East also published a review of Evangeline.
“Evangeline has only been open since April 2008, but Desjarlais is clearly talented and his passion is one of his most important ingredients. One can only expect that this charming bistro will soon take its place on the list of Portland’s top restaurants.”
The Portland Phoenix has reviewed Andy’s Old Port Pub.
“To get the menu you flag down one of the bartenders — seasoned thirtysomethings who suit the place. It’s the standard pub approach for the most part: burgers, pizza, fried stuff, something Mexican — with a few more ambitious entrees. The servings are big, and the food’s not bad.”
Portland Magazine has reviewed the Miss Portland Diner.
“But back to bacon, how good’s the food here? This is as good diner fare as we have ever enjoyed – not ‘gourmet,’ but the real deal.”
1:00 a.m. Curfew has reviewed Sangillo’s.
“Sangillo’s might be the only bar in existence serving Hot Pockets on the menu. I’m not kidding. You can buy a Hot Pocket for $1.50. They also have mozzarella sticks ($2) and some other items that can be microwaved. Monday night is $2 pizza night.”
Chris2fer has reviewed Bintliff’s American Cafe and rated them 2 out of 5 stars.
“Our waitress was charming and happy and prompt and non-invasive and accessible. She was the high point of out visit, I think.”
Type A Diversions has a brief update on the rice used at Benkay.
Gritty McDuff’s received 3 stars from this week’s Taste & Tell review in the Maine Sunday Telegram.
“The lodestone of Maine microbreweries, Gritty McDuff’s Portland Brew Pub makes terrific ales and fine pub food, but the steak salad needs work.”
