You eat family style which isnt my fave but in particular really isnt my fave if youre starving and running on a few 2oz shots of cider as there is no beer, wine, full pours of anything or even water? We sat at the end of the table and when the main entree (chicken) came out it was put in the middle so by the time it got to us we got about 2 bites of gristly thigh- and then the "chef" had the audacity to ask if we were full?! It was pretty clear that there was no edible chicken or pureed vegetables by the time it got down to us so when they cleared plates that didnt have food it should have gone without saying. We had to go home and order a pizza, mainly cause this took so long everything was closed. For the price point you could actually eat food you wanted almost anywhere else in Maine. I didnt feel comfortable complaining as it is generally not necessary in fine dining establishments and would have been rude in such a setting, particularly as we were sat next to a business associate of the chef. Such a disappointment.

There were options for everyone that were both delicious and unique. The biscuit board option was great and a nice touch for my southern family. The chicken and short rib options were fall-apart-in-your-mouth. The falafel vegetarian option -- AMAZING! In addition to the catering itself, B+B goes above and beyond with the services they include. As we got closer to the event and I was trying to check things off of my list, I began to realize that all of the small things I was stressing over, B+B was already planning to take care of them - serving options, signs for food, transporting chairs/gift table from ceremony to reception, packing up at the end of the night. They made our lives so much easier. AND I can't say enough about the day-of coordinator (Erin) and catering coordinator (Kelly). LIFE SAVERS!! They went far beyond what I would have expected for these roles. In the months leading up to our wedding, they helped us negotiate contracts, put out fires before I even knew they were happening, let me vent, and assured me everything was taken care of (and it was). Seriously can't imagine what our event would have been like without B+B and their crew!

They offer a meatless option as well and gluten free bun.

I've had the privilege (in my opinion it's a privilege) to taste several fried chicken sandwiches…read moresince starting my food review journey... I am well into the 30s on my total count. So when I found out that Black Salt was out on national fried chicken day and they were parked out in front of one of my favorite breweries in Portland, my attendance was mandatory. I'd heard of Black Salt before and was excited to see what the fuss was about. Apparently the fuss about how good their food is 100% on the money. My entire experience was pleasant. The staff communicated upfront that it was going to take a bit longer than normal because they had just replenished their oil and it needed to get back to the desired temp. This issue was compounded by a few orders coming in at the same time. All is said, I appreciated the heads up and in fairness, the wait was still less than 15 minutes (enough time for a refreshment). In the end, the sandwiches were delicious, the buns had integrity (deliciously soft but strong enough to hold up while eating), and the toppings/sauces were out of this world! I will be back time and time again with friends and family and my fried chicken sandwich squad when they come to visit Portland! On a follow up trip to Black Salt, I got the chance to visit my wife while she was at class at UNE to enjoy some DELICIOUS fried chicken!

We were impressed with both experiences. The level of customer service in both instances was above average. Friendly and attentive and quick to serve, which impeccable and careful plating. They were timely and the food was absolutely amazing. Every staff member worked hard to deliver and check in with customers and other vendors. Wedding food - the filet was melt in your mouth perfection and the potatoes and vegetables were tender and flavorful. The dish was perfect. The Ravioli vegetarian dish was amazingly flavorful - It was filling and it was just a beautiful dish. Pop up at the brewery - the hotdogs, were so good. I know they were hotdogs, but wow - YUM! The mac and cheese and potato salad were standouts as well. Who knew comfort food at a brewery could be 5 star restaurant quality. I highly recommend this company for all of your catering needs! I can't wait to have their food again sometime. Keep up the great work! See you in 2023 Black Tie Company crew!

Was excited to find the Farm To Coast food truck recently because I had heard they had a vegan tofu…read morebánh mì (which is my favorite sandwich these days). I ordered two and, while my partner in crime absolutely LOVED his, I wasn't really a fan. The sandwich comes on a baguette and is filled with a slab of coconut curry marinated tofu, pickled veg (like carrots and radishes), spicy vegan mayo, and cilantro. Unfortunately, my bread was pretty burned - as such, that black toast char was the dominating flavor (and smell). It was also the dominating ingredient as the slab of tofu was much smaller than I was expecting. In the end, I tossed the bread and ate just the tofu and veggies (which, again, I wish there had been more of, and much less of the stems of cilantro). Loved the variety of spices that came from the individual components of the jalapenos, the curry, and the spread though! While I was disappointed in the sandwich I got (especially at $11 when compared to sandwiches of similar prices from other food trucks), I still think they're great. The person taking my order was super friendly, the person making the food was engaging, and their passion to use as much fresh, local ingredients as possible is impressive and appreciated. Also the presentation of their food is stunning, and proves that restaurant quality food can come out of a mobile kitchen. While they might not be my first choice, I definitely appreciate what they're creating and the flavor profiles they're exploring!

The fries were perfectly crisp and seasoned. I was able to share the fries with 2 other coworkers! It's not often that I walk away from a food truck thinking portion sizes align with both the quality and the pricing, but this one nails it. The menu isn't large, but that's because they choose to perfect what they are slinging, putting quality over quantity. Definitely give this place a try... and split the fries!

All of our friends and family from all over the country couldn't stop raving about the food, and their new Tap Truck was a hit serving as both a source of ice cold draft beer and a conversation piece. As expected, the raw bar was top notch, and the tenderloin popovers, cheddar bites, bacon wrapped scallops, and deviled eggs were so tasty I barely had room left for the main course because I couldn't stop taking more! Our entree selections were similarly satisfying with a delicious chicken dish, glazed rainbow baby carrots, and their clam chowder being notable standouts. The sirloin carving station was a real hit, particularly with their fig and wilted arugula accomplishments, and Chef Ned's bright and engaging personality made this event really stand out with a friendly greeting and engaging conversation for all, both young and old. The whole team was exceedingly friendly and engaged, not cool and aloof like some service staff can be. I'd particularly like to give a shout-out to Jen who not only guided us through all of the planning steps leading up to the big day, but also was kind enough to go to the store after her set up was done and pick up more ice for us for our self-furnished beverage station. Many caterers would have treated this as a "not my problem"situation since we weren't paying them to provide beverages, but she went above and beyond to help ensure our event was a success. I have zero reservations about calling Jen at Great Circle for help planning our next big event and neither should you!
