The Blueberry Files has published a review of Dishcrawl and the food the group had at The Porthole, The Thirsty Pig, Blue Rooster and The Salt Exchange.

I enjoyed my experience, and heard from a lot of participants that they were in places they’d never been or never would have thought to try. So Mary is accomplishing the mission of Dishcrawls to connect locals with new restaurants. These tours are aimed at locals, with Dishcrawls being offered more frequently in the winter when the restaurants aren’t as busy.

More Broke 207 has published a bar review of Forest Gardens.

When our food arrived, it arrived unadorned on paper plates, exactly like a $2 grilled cheese should.  With all the fennel infused, grass fed, handcrafted, small farm, artisanal food that Portland is so famous for… sometimes it’s just nice to have a grilled cheese on crappy white bread hiding under a mountain of deep fried onions.

The Golden Dish has published reviews of The Well,

The pasta choice that evening was potato gnocchi made with Norland potatoes (Jason’s favorite) and served with spinach, roasted parsnips, carrots, braised radishes and tomato puree. It was a beautiful looking dish.

as well as the Saltwater Grille and Sea Glass Restaurant.

I opted for the Maine haddock, a delicious piece of fish with a Parmesan crust and served over a creamy mash of Yukon gold potatoes. The accompanying string beans were cooked al dente, though the kitchen might have opted for local, seasonal asparagus, which would have been more appropriate.
