    Outdoor seating

    There was ample parking and the bakery itself was very nice with lots of outdoor and indoor seating. The staff was very nice. This was our first time ever going here and we only grabbed a few pastries to go. I was not overly impressed with any of the pastries some of them were dry, but maybe if we had had them warmed up and ate them there they would've been better. The whoopie pie was the only thing that was delicious. The other items were just ok. All of the breakfast sandwiches cooking smell delicious I wish we would've tried one of those.

    One of my new favorites! Went at around 10am on a Saturday and there wasn't much of a wait for anything. A truly impressive selection of baked goods and homemade pies. I tried the Nutella breakfast pastry and blueberry scone. Both were so good. My friend ordered a lemon bar and pecan pie slice. Prices were fair overall. The millionaire bar hot coffee was delicious. Lots of good places to sit or do some work on your laptop. There was also a little shopping section that was well stocked with all the essentials. Parking was easy due to lots of street parking available and a little parking lot adjacent to the bakery.

    We went to the new location of Two Fat Cats Bakery (at 175 State Street) three times before I felt comfortable writing a review. The new location is on the back side of what was formerly Mercy Hospital, next to Chocolats Passion and Maine Flavor ice cream. We easily parked in one of the spots in front of the bakery each time. The shop is brightly decorated; I really liked the yellow and green color palette, and the space is full of natural light. There was plenty of seating available, both small tables and a small sofa area in the corner. There is a cooler offering a small selection of specialty grocery items as well as small salads and pre-made foods. The problem was that each time I went, I felt like I didn't get the "true experience", or that it wouldn't be fair to write a review because they were still working the bugs out. The first time we were hoping to get sandwiches, but were told that although they are open until 4, the kitchen closed at 2, so no sandwiches. We tried to order a couple of iced chais and were told they were out. On another (this time morning) visit, we ordered and paid for two iced chais, and were called to the counter to say they only had enough chai for one, and needed to order something else for the other. The chai was homemade and spicy but also really gritty, consistent with the bottom of the container. Although they offer several non dairy milks, the food at Two Fat Cats isn't vegan friendly. We asked about vegan pastries and were told it is possible to order vegan pie at the other location, but it is sold by the whole pie. I might go back for a fourth visit and try a sandwich, but only if in the area. Hopefully things will improve after they get settled at this location.

    Two Fat Cats' new location is wonderful! Although their pastries, pies, and other bites have always been top notch, my one complaint about their old space was always that it felt to-go-centric and outdated--not super welcoming (visually-speaking). Their new spot is in an amazing location that is bright and airy, has a mini grocery section, and sells savory bites like quiches as well as classic pies and themed cookies. The workers were sweethearts. Seems like a great place to study, catch up with friends, or take a brief Zoom call.

    A fantastic new addition to the west end! This spot is perfect for a coffee and breakfast (think pie slices or quiche) or a casual lunch with options like BLTs and wraps. They also have unique coffee creations, like the "blueberry pie" and "brown sugar toastie" lattes. The spacious seating and laid-back atmosphere make it a great place to relax. I'll be back!

    The staff is delightful and great you as you enter Angoor. They are excited to show you have to…read moreuse the facilities to try out their different wines and order snacks. 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!

Via Vecchia was definitely worth the wait, and this was one of the most surprising restaurants during our trip. We ordered the brussel sprouts, grilled octopus, campanelle, and radiatori. The brussel sprouts was the one dish that I was most hesitant about, seeing that it was paired with a blueberry agrodolce. Not a typical combination, but this ended up being a favorite. The sweetness & tartness of the sauce worked SO well with the sprouts - it's an excellent dish. The octopus had the perfect char, and all of the flavor pairings were really cohesive. I had never heard of either of the pastas, but I loved the textures of both. The campanelle with nduja cream was delicious, but did get to be a little heavy about halfway through. Radiatori with bolognese was a classic but well executed dish. Service is attentive without being overbearing. Prices are super reasonable.

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.

    Loved everything about this restaurant. The decor was…read morecostal casual with wood beam accents, a rustic feel. The service was on point. Our server was very helpful and attentive. I dont eat seafood but I keep trying .He gave me a couple of suggestions and explained why he picked the dishes he suggested. I ended up ordering the carrot appetizer. It had a middle eastern flair, the flavors popped and it was one of my favorite dishes while in Portland. My entree was the potato crusted cod over a lemon cream shaved brussel sprout sauce. The cod was mild and flakes. The lemon brussel sprout mixture was delicious. This dish made me a fan of cod. I also added the garlic butter rolls. I saw them going by and they were a great add on. Soft, warm with delicious melted herb butter. Scales is a winener on every point. Definitely a must go to.

    Unfortunately Scales did not live up to the hype for us. While we were seated right away at 7pm for…read moreour reservation, the rest of the service during the evening could have been better. Our server described to us the specials for appetizers but never said anything about entree specials (maybe there weren't any?). We ordered the cloverleaf rolls, a cup of clam chowder, a cup of lobster bisque, and the maine mussels before our entrees. Both the clam chowder and the lobster bisque were just ok.. nothing special. The bisque was too sweet and had very little lobster. The mussels were the highlight of the meal. The sauce of cider, mustard and dill was very interesting and had deep flavor. The bread served with the mussels was also delicious. The cloverleaf rolls were great too, but perhaps a little too soggy/greasy from the butter at the bottom of the skillet. For our entrees we had the scallops and the halibut. The scallops were delicious- nicely seared and served with mushrooms and a green pea sauce which was bright and flavorful. The halibut however was not my favorite. The fish itself was cooked very well with a crispy skin, but it was swimming in brown butter and hazelnuts and lacked depth of flavor. It also seemed like an odd choice of flavors for a spring menu. It was served with potatoes that needed a bit more salt. We were too full for dessert and also didn't finish our meals. We sat around for a fairly long time not touching our meals without the server checking on us. Eventually we had to flag them down to get boxes and pay the check. While the ambiance was very nice, for the price and the reputation we expected more. Everything else we have eaten in Portland so far has been fantastic so it was a bit of a letdown.
