- CChristopherGreater Boston •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWhenever my husband and I want a special night out we always go to Isa and they never disappoint. I didn’t think they could up their game but I had steak with a whiskey cream sauce and it truly was the best meal I can recall. This place is perfection…from the service,the atmosphere,and the food…simply sublime. Bravo Isa! Please don’t ever change.More infoIsa Bistro - PortlandPrice: Expensive• Bistro• Portland•4.9
- FFredGreater Boston •8 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe had not been back to David’s for a number of years due to location; however, we were thrilled with the entire dining experience starting with their willingness to slightly change our reservation time in order to move to a table and have a longer seating time. The service was superb and not rushed, yet attentive. The choices offered under each course were all scrumptious which made it difficult to choose, but we did choosing the lamb and duck dishes as our mains. Cooked perfectly at medium rare for both, eating them was to experience well blended yet not overpowering flavors and perfectly sized portions. The appetizers were equally impressive but I must say the sea salted cashew caramel chocolate torte was divine! A great dining experience and would highly recommend for a special evening.More infoDavid's RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Portland•4.7
- EErichGreater Boston •7 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoA genuinely excellent Italian dining experience in Portland Maine's Old Port. The focus on locally sourced ingredients makes a big difference. The chef (from Genova) makes the most of the local fresh seafood. Service was perhaps the best we have had in Portland, which is a pretty high bar, but still, better here.More infoSolo ItalianoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Portland•4.8
