Best Restaurants in Portland, Maine | Eater Boston

"The grand dame of Portland’s dining scene, Fore Street hasn’t lost a step since kicking off the city’s farm-to-table movement in 1996. Signature dishes such as the turnspit chicken benefit from seasonal sourcing and cooking on the grill or oven, both of which are wood-fired and proudly located at the center of this comfortable former warehouse overlooking Casco Bay. Nearby, owner Dana Street’s seafood-focused restaurants — big, boisterous Scales and intimate Street & Company — are slightly easier to get into but no less worthy of your dining budget." - Stasia Brewczynski
