It's not seafood, but the food is delicious, Asian fusion. Outdoor seating, good cocktails, and they have soft serve honey ice cream with a hard chocolate sea salt shell sprinkled with crunchy honey comb for dessert.

City/town information

Portland is a small city and easy to walk around. The peninsula, where most visitors stay, features a long, working waterfront, a historic shopping district called the Old Port, and a commercial district along Congress Street that dissects and span the peninsula. The West End is mostly residential with some cafes and shops. Munjoy Hill is on the east end, bound by the Eastern Promenade and harbor trails with views of the harbor and Casco Bay, with its many islands. The city is growing and changing as new neighborhoods have developed such as Washtington Avenue, with a row of restaurants, and Bayside, where many new breweries have opened.

Make reservations for dinner and get out on the water!

Portland is all about good food and the ocean. We have some incredible restaurants - and they are popular! We recommend making reservations for dinner as soon as you can so you won't be disappointed. We also recommend getting out on the water. For kayaking and SUPs, there is a rental company down the hill. Schooner day trips and whale watching tours leave from the city harbor. There's a ferry terminal less than a mile away that can take you out to one of the nearby islands for a day trip. There are some great state park beaches just south of Portland.
