For a place I haven't heard much about or even seen much about it was amazing here! We were so…read moresurprised how good the drinks were and the vibes there are amazing. It was a nice, dark, and quiet lounge area. Animals all over the place and Batman always playing on the tv's. Not sure who came up with this place but in my opinion they're doing it right here. For drinks we got the foggy bottom, Kennedy center, and the library of congress. From the names of the drinks to the flavors it all blew me away. Very unique and intricate flavors. Never had cocktails like this before. Additionally, the presentation was very good too. Bartender was super friendly and attentive. This place wasn't busy at all on a Friday night and it deserved to be! Some of the best cocktails in Portland hands down. Swing by in and give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

I wandered into The Bar of Chocolate Café in Portland, Maine, expecting a cozy little cocoa shrine…read moreand left convinced they should rename it The Bar of "Good Luck Walking Straight." I ordered only a chocolate martini, just one, and somehow it tasted like a grown-up milkshake, a sweet silky potion that whispered, "Calories don't count if you drink them." The first sip was like being hugged by a truffle; the second sip was like that truffle winking and rearranging my weekend plans. By the halfway mark, I was negotiating with my brain about whether I needed dinner or just another round of dessert disguised as alcohol. The bartender smiled knowingly, clearly aware that this drink could turn a responsible adult into a giddy cocoa pirate. Four stars because my sweet tooth is still filing a restraining order, dangerously delicious and almost too tempting for its own good.

Drinks were amazing, service was decent. The food needs to be revamped…read more It's a Monday, options limited so decided to stay in. Wedge salad had very little dressing. Needed some extra or a side of it. Wings, the skin was not crispy at all, literally rubbery fat. These are not fried. They should say that, even baking you can get a better crisp. I then mistakenly ordered the flat bread to go, they gave it to me in a small 9x9 box which confused he crap out of me until I got to my room.... This "flatbread" was horrible, no sauce, a slice of tomato and a couple pieces of mozz. Piled on top of each other so if here were toppings you wouldn't know where is the rest ?

The lemon sole (fish) and octopus carpaccio (not pictured) were filled with flavor! The pork belly was very underwhelming and I would not order again. The waiter said 2-4 plates per person. I recommend starting on the lower end and adding additional dishes based on how you're feeling. The amount of food was very different from dish to dish. For example the tuna dip had way too much bread and the pork belly was very small in size. Overall I was half impressed. I wish the staff would take a moment to announce the plate as it's placed next to you or point it out on the menu for those hard of hearing and wanting to know what they are about to enjoy. However the music, overall restaurant vibe and half the dishes exploding with flavor made my experience pleasant and I will return again knowing a bit more of what to expect and looking at photos of the menu/meal options beforehand.
