From musty dive hotel bar, and not one of the fun ones (well there was this one older lady that would serve you the strongest drink of your life whether you told her you were driving or not but other than that), to fine dining. Beyond impressed! This place is BEAUTIFUL and I don't know how they did it, but it doesn't have that smell anymore. And anyone that has been there in the past knows exactly what I'm talking about. Kinda like your grandmother's basement after a flood from 15 years ago that no one probably cleaned up. Yeah you know the smell. The short ribs were gorgeous, the reduction was perfect and the wild mushroom au gratin was heavenly. NY strip was perfectly tender, seasoned well and cooked to perfection. I'm never surprised anymore when a restaurant forgets what "medium" actually is. Sadly, I'm at the point where I'm surprised when they get it right. Pleasantly, but still surprised. This place, definitely gets my vote when I go to Freeport to spoil myself. If you haven't gone here yet, you're doing it wrong.

If you can make it at home, you might as well. Porter has a great menu from top to bottom, the cocktails are excellent, and the service even for a newer restaurant still trying to shake out the systems is excellent. Every server was super helpful, energetic, and focused on making a great meal even better. We've been three time and every time has been just a little better as the service and wait staff gets used to the full remodeled dining room

Now that said, the upstairs experience is like a different restaurant. Nicer service and environment. We will probably eventually go back, however it is not our first choice.

He had great recommendations for drinks, was very attentive and shared some fun stories about the resort where the restaurant is located. We started out with some of the restaurant's cocktails including a Portuguese Manhattan, a Blueberry Margarita and my favorite the Summer Sunset which was fruity and the perfect vacation drink. My husband enjoyed the Margarita but i think it was a bit too sweet for him to have more than one. We shared some appetizers including the Cauliflower Ceviche, which was a bit spicy for me but enjoyed by the rest of the table and then some BBQ Pub chips which had a yummy blue cheese sauce drizzled over them. For entrees our group had Fish n Chips (the fish was seasoned so well), Baked Scallops, Stuffed Mushroom, and the Spicy Mussels. My husband, who had ordered the Stuffed Mushroom, was very happy with his choice which came with rice and veggies. The only complaint was that the brussels sprouts which were part of multiple veggie side dishes were not cooked enough but all in all the food was really good. We also brought some dessert to go including two orders of the Creme Brulee Cheesecake, one Chocolate Turtle Cake and 1 piece of Blueberry Pie. All deserts were gobbled up later in the evening without a crumb left.

I don't always get salads but I am glad I got this one. We were there in August and I still taste it and my mouth still waters when I think about it. My husband his haddock. He has a terrible wife who hates seafood, so he gets to eat it whenever he wants when we go out. He wasn't disappointed. It's definitely understandable why this place is so packed.

Thank goodness that the two places available are exceptional and wonderful: Five Islands Lobster, for excellent lobster in the rough on a scenic deck. But for truly fine dining, it must be BLUE. Had three dinners there recently with 3 different guests. All rave reviews all around. Arriving at the Grey Havens Inn where it is located, doesn't look like much from the road, but as soon as you get on the magnificent wrap around porch of this historic Victorian venue, the view takes your breath away. Checked in at the front desk with the proprietor, Eve, who invited us to have a cocktail on the porch since we were a half hour early, Early by design, sitting on those rockers and enjoying the view with a great cocktail. Once at our table, a great range of offerings, both 'surf' and 'turf'. All the dishes are crafted by a talented chef, very sophisticated menu. My beef tournedos w/ onion jam could not have been more tender, perfectly medium rare to order. Local fresh fish ordered were different each night, all perfectly prepared -- glad that salmon was not overcooked, and slightly rare in the middle. The chowder was the best we'd had anywhere in Maine yet. Excellent wine list, quality bar offerings. The service was personable and attentive. It is a splurge on an otherwise rustic summer holiday, but one I look forward to every year. It's a total experience, from the gorgeous setting to the restaurant itself.

We had a party of 7 and everyone commented on the tiny portions for the price. I had the NY Strip and expected at least an 8oz piece of meat.

The conchiglie was a standout; imagine an elevated mac and cheese, rich and comforting, with a bold twist from the smoked tomato caponata. The regional white fish, which was hake, was delicate and flaky, paired beautifully with savory guanciale and nutty Grana Padano. The oysters were another highlight, served with a currant mignonette foam and a bright splash of lemon--absolutely delicious. For dessert, the crème brûlée hit all the right notes with its perfectly caramelized top and creamy sweetness. Finishing off with a refreshing limoncello--sweet, light, and the perfect ending.

I loved my salmon especially with that delicious maple bourbon glaze. They put enough to mix with the rice. So good!!!!!!! the broccoli was cooked perfectly, not too hard/not too soft. I really hope this restaurant stays. I have one concern.....the parking, yes, for the customers, but more so for the restaurant staff. Restaurant staff are getting parking tickets. What's the point of working downtown if all restaurant staff tips go to paying parking tickets? I suggest the owners of all the restaurants downtown talk to the city of Lewiston, and ask if restaurant staff could get a free pass to the garage after they show proof of employment. Use a sticker on the window IDing cars exempt from payment to the garage. City of Lewiston, please step up and help hard working people not lose their tips to parking tickets. Don't want to lose good workers due to parking tickets. Lewiston, you have wonderful downtown restaurants. HELP KEEP THE HELP!!!!! Abby was amazing, kind, attentive. Enjoyed her very much. The ambiance was relaxing. The lighting is prefect, not too dark, not too light. There were not many people when we were there, probably due to no available parking, so I don't know the noise level. I could guess, based on the height of the ceiling I would think it would be noisy, echo'ey, if it were packed. But not so loud as to prevent a conversation with your party. Definitely will be going back. I want to try ahi tuna next. Linda Lavoie Mckinney
