15 Best Restaurants in Portland, Maine | Condé Nast Traveler

"Chef Christian Basset turns familiar local ingredients into adventurous dishes—I've enjoyed bowls of paella brightened with lemony fennel, sweet carrots, and spicy chorizo with Bangs Island mussels and local crabmeat, and even charred rabbit from a nearby farm—while the kitchen also leans into decadence with Maine lobster bucatini in a chile-boosted tomato confit with burrata and breadcrumbs; the menu has been simplified and refined of late, but desserts like a smooth chocolate mousse cake with sour cherry compote and hazelnut gelato still shine, and there’s a gem of a happy hour (espresso-chile smoked wings with seaweed ranch) as well as standout hotel breakfast dishes such as a pork belly hash." - Alexandra Hall

Where to Find Takeout and Delivery Amid the Portland COVID-19 Outbreak | Eater Portland

"I ordered the cozy gastropub’s pub menu for takeout from Kenton (all items 10% off) and appreciated that they also sell bottles of wine and beer growlers to‑go." - Alex Frane

10 Best Places for Brunch in Portland, Maine | Condé Nast Traveler

"At Union, chef Josh Berry, has earned myriad awards for his dedication to his suppliers and his approach to sustainable cooking. Try the Bangs Island mussels with house-made green curry; the truffled beef pot roast with fresh horseradish; and the Maine crab pasta with pancetta, peas, chili, and mint. At brunch, dishes practically have their own fan clubs, and one bite of the Szechuan pork belly B.L.T.—or the chicken and waffles with house-smoked maple and chilies—and you’ll know why." - Alexandra Hall

Loved the ambience, with printing press decor touches, at this restaurant. Food tasted fairly good. Service was prompt and courteous. We went for both dinner and breakfast. Staying at the Press hotel, this was a convenient eatery.

Union Restaurant in Portland is an absolute standout. The lobster Benedict is unreal—pillowy eggs over a heap of sweet Maine lobster with silky hollandaise. Cocktails are smart, balanced, and downright fun. And the staff? So nice and genuinely great—attentive without hovering and happy to help. A must-visit; I’m already planning my return.

We came here after getting a recommendation from a bar tender at another restaurant earlier in the day. We made a reservation and came for dinner. We first got a drink at the bar area before getting seated, and they were made perfect. I had the rabbit paella, and it was absolutely amazing. Definitely a place I would come back to.

UNION was top on my list of date night restaurants and I’m glad I can finally check it off. The restaurant itself is connected to the press hotel and offers a big space to wine and dine. The atmosphere is very relaxing and definitely up to par for a top tier Old Port restaurant. My girlfriend and I got the mussels as an intro and they were quite possibly the biggest mussels either of us have ever eaten. We proceeded to both order the conchiglie for our body. The conchiglie is an elevated take on mac n cheese which we both thoroughly enjoyed. The service was great all around. I would highly recommend UNION for a good date night.

We tried this restaurant before a show a Merrill Auditorium. First, it has a great atmosphere and location. Very trendy and upscale. We sat at the bar because we didn't have reservations. We ordered several cocktails which all tasted great. However, the two bar tenders were working the whole restaurant and seemed very overwhelmed. It took a long time to get their attention on several occasions. We ordered raw oysters which tasted fine but many of them had little bits of shell inside, poor shucking. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with duck egg, which tasted great! However, we waited well over an hour for our meals and were 20 minutes late to our show, despite being assured by the waitstaff that our meals would be out in plenty of time. Overall, I was pretty disappointed considering how expensive it was... Hopefully this was just an off night... We will be back to give it another try. The prix fixe menu looks great and I want to try it when we're not under time constraints.

So looking for a restaurant opened on Christmas night was not easy but we found this Union. We even got there as the restaurant was closing, and they took us in. Extra stars for that. The hostess was nice and welcoming. We ordered potato croquettes flavorless, Trout flavorless, half Chicken flavorless and 2 Apple pie sangria decent. $130 later definitely not returning

Interesting menu, and a wide array of choices. Everyone in our party seemed to really enjoy their dishes. The Rabbit + mussel Paella I ordered was very good. The service was attentive and friendly but not cloying, the interior of the restaurant is warm and easy to enjoy. Would come back.

Delicious drinks and food! The server was very knowledgeable about both the cocktail menu and entrees.
