The @waysidetavern opened for business on Friday n The @waysidetavern opened for business on Friday night. Wayside is located in the Parkside in the former Flood’s space at The Francis hotel. The menu includes a variety of small plates such as country pate, fried sunchokes and chicory salad, and larger plates such as a dry-aged rib steak, bangs island mussels and roast chicken. The drinks menu include a variety of wines by the glass, classic cocktails and draft beer and cider. Wayside is being launched by the founders of @rollcallmaine, Michael and Siobhán Sindoni. Prior to moving to Maine, Michael was the executive chef of the Joule Hotel and opened the restaurant CBD Provisions in Dallas. Siobhán was the sommelier/manager at FT33 in Dallas. They also worked together for Makeready as culinary director and service/wine director. Their most recent Makeready opening was Frannie & the Fox in Hotel Emeline in Charleston. #portlandmainefood #westendportland #waysidetavern #winebar
@judygibson_me is one of the new restaurants locat @judygibson_me is one of the new restaurants located on South Portland growing restaurant row on Ocean St. JG describes itself as a neighborhood restaurant but the food and drink are so good that they’re regularly pulling customers in from Portland as well. Here’s a look at a few dishes from their menu: smoked bangs island mussels escabache with toasted sour dough, roast swordfish with fennel and potatoes, potato gnocchi with pickled and roasted oyster mushrooms, the Garden-ac cocktail made with rye, herbsaint, lovage, and peychauds bitters. Everything at JG is very good but I’d especially recommend you don’t leave the restaurant without at least one order each of the mussels and gnocchi. Chef/owner Chris Wilcox is currently flying solo in the kitchen (5th photo) so if you’re a chef looking for a new job or know someone who is reach out to Chris about his open BOH position on the team. Judy Gibson has both indoor and outdoor seating…you can score a reservation for tonight on Resy.com. #soutportlandmaine #oceanstreetrestaurants #judygibson #musselsescabeche #gnocchi #lovagecocktail

@acgrocery has leased 229 Congress Street where ow @acgrocery has leased 229 Congress Street where owner Joe Fournier plans to relocate his popular Washington Ave eatery. Fournier announced the intention/need to move to a new location back in early April and has been actively looking at space across the city since then. Fournier plans to have the new A & C open by September and will run both locations in tandem through the remainder of the year. During those remaining months of 2021 the new location will be open in the evening while the original location will still serve the lunch crowd. In 2022 Fournier plans to expand the menu and to offer indoor lunch counter seating.Stay tuned to the A & C instagram for more details on that as they come into focus. As a prank Fournier has placed a sign in the window of 229 Congress Street (2nd image) that announces that a Starbucks will be opening at 229 Congress this fall. People curious enough to scan the QR code at the bottom of the sign get taken to a video where he shares the good news about the new home for the business. 229 Congress Street is located adjacent to Cocktail Mary; it was formerly occupied by Sip of Europe. #portlandmaine #aandcgrocery #joefournier
