Excellent! Fresh and nutty beet salad, fork soft short rib, and best heavenly flan in Maine. The homemade fococcia was deprived of enough olive oil, but they were quick to supply more. It's a tiny but welcoming, romantic space with a 4 seater bar and sweet service. A nice thing about the well-curated, expensive, not extensive, wine list is that half bottles are available at exactly half the price of a bottle, not marked up. The only downside is that all the prices are above average for restaurants of similar stature. Took too long to discover this oasis!

It feels like Maine with the wood logs as the decor and trees. We sat in the back room which almost gives a Maine camp porch vibe. There are two different Prix fix a three and a four. My husband got the three but I went with the four because I had heard some great things with the glazed carrots, I thought we could share them. Everything was wonderful but just too much food for me. I started with the tuna sashimi which was superb and my husband had the pork belly. I had the glazed carrots and they brought my husband glazed cauliflower on the house, loved both. My husband had the steak and I had the halibut and they both were delicious. My fish came with baby potatoes, I'm not a fan of those. Finally my husband had their famous glazed donuts, the plate was licked clean and I had the chocolate cake. I am gf so I could not partake in some of his items but he said they were delicious and Earth did a fantastic job ensuring my allergy safety. Can't wait to return.

One of our attending friends (Dale) who organized this journey, outdid himself in finding this gem of a restaurant. Exquisite, magnificent, classy, with a cozy and warm/well appointed ambiance. Earth at Hidden Pond is all of these with fabulous service and meal offerings. While I personally was apprehensive about sitting outside in a shed, I am SO glad Dale did not give up the sales effort. We pulled up our cars to the valet outside the front door and were warmly greeted there and as well by the hostess stand folks. Our reservation was for the private Potter's Shed but due to a snafu we were brought to the larger Painter's Shed. Wow, impressive does not do this location justice. Check out our pictures here. Our server Kurt (5 stars) met us there and expertly walked us thru the cocktail menu, and we ordered the following: a glass of Chardonnay, Humble Old Fashioned, Hidden Smoke, Pickled Tini, Cranberry Clock and Autumn Sangria. He also brought several offerings of focaccia bread with plates of dipping oil. A very nice touch. Kurt next reviewed the menu with the group, as we were enjoying our various cocktails. We selected the 4 course prix fixe Fall menu for $115 per person. Glad we did as all of these course choices were phenomenal. First selections made: caprese salad, roasted carrots, salad, beef tartare and 2 butternut squash soaps Second: fettuccine, several cavatelli & seared foie gras orders and crab cake Main selections: several seafood stews & halibut orders, lobster thermidore, and scallops Dessert selections: 5 orders of doughnuts and one chai cake Bonus round from Kurt as he brought out samples of roasted cauliflower early & raspberry layer mousse later Bottom line this was a wonderful night with epic friends and over the top yet humble service from a Pro's Pro in Kurt. Thank you my friend, you impressed us all and represented the Earth at Hidden Pond brand in legendary fashion. Don't miss this opportunity to dine like Kings & Queens in a very warm environment with magnificent food and service. Kudos to all. Cheers to the Kirby's and the Pizzi's

Portland is in desperate need of chic wine bars, and Maine & Loire fits the bill…read more It's fun to peruse their tastefully curated wine collection (not overwhelmingly massive). Knowing a decent amount about wine, it was fun to chat with staff to find something new. I didn't feel pushed to purchase anything, although, I happily walked away with three bottles and a few more fun facts about geographical areas than I did before. Regardless of your knowledge of wine, this is *the* spot to grab a bottle. They also offer wine tasting sample events!

Maine & Loire has become my go-to spot whenever I need a special bottle of wine, or something fun,…read moreor just something reliably high-quality. It's the kind of place where I can walk in and say, "Hey, I'm making haddock chowder tonight, my budget is $30," and immediately get a handful of thoughtful recommendations plus a mini wine lesson, which I always appreciate. Wine can get pretentious and intimidating so fast, and I never feel that way at Maine & Loire. I also really love their sales and loyalty program. Getting those emails with 10% off codes (which they send out pretty often!) always makes my day. Lastly, I think you can choose to drink bottles on site, but in the past their policy seemed to change a few times, so I've stopped trying and just treat them as my go-to wine shop.

The bar is clean, modern and the machines are fun. It was great to be able to get small servings of different wines and then a larger serving when you found something you like. But I found the wine servings to be expensive for the wines they were offering, and the selection had a limited variety that did not cover most of the wines that I prefer. So, I am still looking for the perfect wine bar in Portland.

I think Angoor's sweet spot is going to be with: a) people…read morewho know nothing about wine but are curious about learning more, b) people who know they like wine but don't want to spend money on full bottles to find their favorite, when a place like this offers "sample" sizes, c) longtime locals looking for something novel, d) bachelorette parties, e) corporate day trips, f) tourists staying at the very nearby Residence Inn. THE SPACE I agree with other reviewers both on Yelp and other platforms (sometimes we think what's being said here is isolated, when it's not): it's an immaculate space, yes, but also very sterile. There's no character or charm or distinct personality atmospherically: it's a white room with white marble tables and seven mini silver "kegoraters" (for lack of a better explanation) that dispense the wines. THE MENU When I visited, all the wines offered were listed on a packet of stapled together 8x11 papers (that had been previously written on by other customers): the font was tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny and there was SO MUCH information to read about each one. I wonder if there's a more pithy way to share this because it's overwhelming as is - I would think especially to people new to wine. THE EXPERIENCE When you arrive you hand over your credit card and you are given a wine card. Walk up to any of the dispensers, tap your wine card on the machine (there's a little sensor on the left hand side by the first screen of the machine), then select the size pour you want (2, 4, or 6 oz) from the screen above the wine you want. The wine comes out *VERY* quickly after you make your decision, so make sure your wine glass is under the nozzle it needs to be. When you're finished, walk up to the counter, hand them the wine card, and they'll charge the credit card you gave them!
