Despite having a reservation, we waited over 30 minutes for our table. Unfortunately, the hostess…read moremade an already frustrating situation worse with her rude and unwelcoming attitude. Each time we checked on our table, we were met with eye rolls and visible annoyance. There was no proper waiting area, just a space cluttered with supplies, leaving us feeling constantly in the way. We suggested waiting outside near a heater and asked if someone could take our drink order, which was met with another eye roll. All the outdoor tables were dirty, and it took another 10 minutes to clean and seat us while the hostess stopped for side conversations along the way. Thankfully, our server was wonderful, although the drinks she offered to comp due to our wait still appeared on our bill. As we left, we noticed the hostess making faces toward other staff, which was incredibly unprofessional. A simple apology, a clean place to wait, and an offer to take our drink order would have gone a long way. Delays happen, but poor hospitality is avoidable. The hostess sets the tone for the entire experience, and unfortunately, hers overshadowed an otherwise great server. A role less focused on guest interaction might be a better fit.

The smashburgers and fries were a hit as well. The vegetable Wellington was delicious- really didn't know what to expect but it was a cool take on a tired classic. The wines were reasonably priced - we had a Mas Josephine Côtes du Rhône, which paired nicely with the pasta.

I'm sympathetic because there was a large ish party but we asked for a box for leftovers and everyone clearly forgot about us. After waiting for 20 mins in the rain we gave up and went inside with our food to ask for a check and a box - the system apparently got messed up and erased our table from the system so it took them several minutes to figure out what we ordered. While the food was good, multiple bussers and the hostess walked by us several times while we waited for our waitress to come back. Based on service I would not return.

This place is excellent!!! I mean, I have a few favorite restaurants and most of them are Italian…read moreplaces. 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.

This review is for their food and customer service for in-house dining…read more Like a fine wine - this place gets better and better everytime we visit. We probably dine here once a quarter. 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.

What I once considered a great spot for locals has turned into a place I have no desire to go back to, entirely because of the behavior of the bartenders. It looks like others are catching on because we went on a Thursday night in the summer and the place was nearly empty. My martini was fine, which is the only reason this isn't a one-star review, but the bartender was rude for absolutely no reason; borderline belligerent. I was so embarrassed and kept reassuring our friends that people in Maine are NOT like this. In a city that prides itself on incredible hospitality, I was genuinely shocked. By 12:30am the bartender started making shady comments about the patrons, including us. By 12:40 we were told to get out, with the worst attitude, and an unnecessary five-second countdown to chug our drinks. They had the place locked up by 12:50am, even though they were supposed to stay open until 1am. Never have I experienced anything like this in Portland. We will not be going back.

While visiting Portland it was suggested if we wanted a reasonably priced lobster roll, this…read moreoff-the-beaten-path was the place to go. Hilltop is basically a convenience store and deli. The lobster roll was great, it was one ounce smaller than most, but almost half the prices. What a deal, great food at a great price. My wide was the lobster person, I had a hoagie. The hoagie was good. Fresh ingredients made to order. So, why the four stars instead of five? Well, the staff in the deli just sat around and waited and waited and waited for someone else to show up and make our food. These guys were dressed to work in the deli, but they seemed more interested in hanging out than working. Dude who made the order called them out and they seemed very non-plussed about the whole thing. Kudos to the guy who made our food, and his young son who came in as was a nice diversion from the wait, as much as a diversion a middle school kid can be, that is. Had it not been for him, and his dad, this would have been a three-star review.

It should have been $8.00. I got it corrected- keep your eyes on the invoices for the future. BTW my mocktail margarita was awesome as was my wife's burger. $2.00 add on for cheese give me a break. I'll probably be back but nothing urgent to make me rush back.
