Parker’s received 1½ stars from this week’s Taste & Tell review in the Maine Sunday Telegram.

“Dishes dominated by starch, overcooked seafood and poor-quality ingredients spoil meals at Parker’s Restaurant.”

Travels with Hilary has spent a few days eating her way around the Portland peninsula making stops at Eve’s, Mims Brasserie, The Grill Room, Hugo’s, Bresca, The Porthole, Artemisia, Black Tie, Micucci’s and Two Fat Cats before heading “back to reality.”

1:00 a.m. Curfew has reviewd The Station.

“The Station is located in the sketchy shopping plaza on St. John St. From the outside it looks like you might get knived, but have no fear – this bar has been around for near 20 years and isn’t scary in the least.”

Travels with Hilary has written a review of Back Bay Grill.

“With all the hype about Portland’s foodie-fave restaurants, you know—555, Evangeline, Hugo’s, Fore Street, Cinque Terre, Bresca—sometimes out-of-sight/out-of-mind Back Bay Grill gets overlooked. It shouldn’t.”

Benny’s, the small clam shack on West Commercial St, received 3 stars from this week’s Eat & Run review in the Portland Press Herald.

“But if you only have a quick lunch break and want to sneak some fast, cheap seafood into your day, try this kitschy little oasis.”

Type A Diversions has reviewed Aurora Provisions.

“With quality fare and a laid back atmosphere, Aurora Provisions is the perfect place to enjoy lunch, grab a pre-made gourmet dinner to-go, or to stock up on provisions for your next dinner party.”

The Old Port Tavern received 2½ stars from this week’s Taste & Tell review in the Maine Sunday Telegram.

“Skip appetizers and most desserts to enjoy a good and sometimes exceptional entree, some at bargain prices.”
