Every one of them is a privilege to eat at and this place is AT LEAST as good as any of them and quite possibly the best of the bunch!!! Before we could get started, it being our first visit, we were brought a complimentary small antipasti plate of pickles, olives, picked onions and red peppers, balsamic vinegar and fresh mozzarella that is so perfect it makes you swear you are in the old country! We knew we were in love with this place very early on in our visit. I love a good sauce (or gravy if you're so inclined) so we tried all the right stuff for my taste buds a buds: My girlfriend and I shared the Arancini (light, airy, delicious) and the meatballs (pork filled bliss in a flavorful sauce-seasoned to perfection!). By this point, we were already so satiated I could have left a happy camper. Seriously. For entrees I got the Spicy Ragu di Salsiccia, which is a very tasty Orecchiette pasta in a spicy red sauce that I loved. My girlfriend though, let me try her chicken parm that was arguably the best chicken Parmesian ever created!!! When I mentioned it to my server, she said it was a Gluten Free Panko and we are both still talking about it an hour or two later. I am seriously considering going back to get it for lunch tomorrow!!! We finished off the meal with vanilla bean gelato. She got it with some rich fudge cake thing that was great! Needless to say, we were blown away throughout the meal-every bite was excellent, and for us, that would be enough...but service was at least as good as the food!!! At Pomelia we found service to be outstanding without being even a little pretentious. It's why I am way more inclined to eat out in Maine - I enjoy meals out more here - the food culture is strong in Portland on all along the coast in Maine and I hope this place remains a fixture in Brunswick because we are the newest fans and WE WILL BE BACK!!!!

I sat at the bar and even though the place was very busy, the servers were attentive. The food did take a bit to come out, but I didn't mind. I would definitely try the meatballs if I get the chance to come back here again. If you plan to come on a weekend, I would definitely recommend a reservation. Overall, everything was good, but I felt the prices were a bit high for the return. Other than that I had no issues.

Once we got to the deli case, and got through being overwhelmed, we were able to order.. still be warned as a newbie, it is a daunting experience!!!Brides the yummy sandwiches ( honestly I was hoping for a more rustic bread than what was offered ) and salads there is an incredible selection of baked goods. My partner chose the classic brownie ( incredibly dark and rich) and I the double chocolate cupcake filled with mocha mouse( which I saved for home) the icing and mouse filling were amaaaazing but the cake itself seemed quite gritty, as though it was a " alternative," flour. In the end I was a tad disappointed in my $6.00 cupcake. All in all a decent experience and I'd probably go again, but $46 for Sammie's and dessert is a bit steep for my pocketbook.

Taverna Khione is a welcome change from the all too common blt, fish & chips, and lobster roll fare in the area. Don't get me wrong, those are all good, but sometimes you need something different! The Food: -I recommend starting with the Tzatziki and bread. The Fava is good too, but the Tzatziki is just a little better. -Next, you MUST order the Soutzoukakia -- "Veal and beef meatballs with cumin and allspice; white wine-tomato sauce," according to their website, and oh so yummy. -Last time I was there, I got the special which was veal... no one was more surprised than I was when it stole the show! Their lamb is usually very good as well. That being said, they do change up their menu and I would definitely ask your server what they recommend. -Finish it all off with a greek coffee. Yamas! Service: I know a lot of folks have complaints about the service. And while you definitely can't expect to be fawned over here, our food has always been very timely. This won't be helpful for visitors, but as we've become regulars the service has improved and we quite enjoy that aspect as well now. Reservations: You need to make one. Every time I've eaten here people have been turned away. Parking: There is a small lot to the left of the Taverna. We've never had trouble finding parking there. P.S. I didn't mention it, but wine is a must here!

From the ways in which great service is seamless, to the woodfired pizza oven, to how easy it was to order beers. I absolutely loved this place.

Service has always been consistently great. Friendly, prompt, detail oriented and caring about our experience. We have never had a bad interaction with any of the staff members. They are hardworking customer focused team. Good with children and elderly folks. The food has been consistently good, temperature, quantity, flavors, textures and presentation. We have tried their burgers, pizza, bowls and appetizers. We really like their brussels sprouts, including our 3 and 6 year old family members. There's a wonderful sweet savory flavor, a nice crisp to the outside and very tender inside. The burgers and fries are very satisfying and flavorful. Most recently I discovered (realized) you can add mac and cheese to a burger. It was yummm!!! The wings, are plentiful, crispy and juicy. Be careful, because the internal temperature is VERY HOT when they first arrive. The past few times we have been the restaurant was very comfortable, not too cold or too hot. They have the ability to accommodate the 6 of us with ease on the times we have gone. This is definitely one of the core options when we are in town. Great for our whole family.

Their menu is straightforward, very easy for people new to poké, and includes options for all tastes! Even if you don't want raw fish, as is traditional, there are plenty of meat, veggies, etc. options here. The staff was welcoming, asked if I had ever been there before or had poké before, and were eager to answer any questions I had. I ended up getting one of their standard tuna bowls, with a couple of small substitutions to suit my tastes. This was very easy to do and the staff was happy to accommodate. The portion was very large, and the prices matched the sizes but were reasonable. The bowl was amazing, with rice, lots of crisp veggies, spicy/creamy sauce, and fresh tuna. The ratio was generous and balanced! They did not skimp on avocado or other toppings. I also picked up a spam masubi at checkout, which was delicious. Right after checkout, they had chopsticks, forks, soy sauce packets, napkins and anything else you needed to grab-and-go.
