Comfort food at its best. The atmosphere is great and cozy . If you can get in at the bar do it! Always a lively crowd with all the local flavor. The Shepard's pie =!!! Happy hour drinks are only $2!!!

Krissy Camisa

Amazing brunch !! We were a party of 6 and this place was packed on a Monday at 10. seated together within a half hour. service was excellent and the food came out quickly and was absolutely amazing!

Julia Warnock

Great for any meal during the day. Brunch and the French toast are great! Shepard's pie is fantastic. Be prepared for a wait, but the service is great and food is delicious, so it's worth it.

Joe Ybarra

Lamb shepherd's pie or the meat loaf is the way to go. You must try the Mac 'n Cheese as well . My aunt and uncle share the Mac 'n Cheese as their entree.

Natalie

Had the most amazing dinner here. The salmon with pumpkin risotto will be on my mind for weeks. The duck was amazing as well . Cant wait to go back

Best brunch in Portland. Suitable for a table of 4 or smaller. Drinks are stiff and the corned beef hash is out of this world

Portland Old Port

For brunch try the huevos rancheros , for dinner try something from the specials list, it's ever changing and always good. Wash it down with a Congress Street Bellini .

Gene G.

Loved the scallops and the house wine . The others all liked their orders of half roast chicken , lamb top sirloin , meatloaf . The mashed potatoes are great.

Carmen N

Amazing, outstanding food. Try the corned beef hash for sure and listen out for excellent specials.

The Lamb Shepards Pie is to die for. A good drink to match with it is the Portland Manhattan

Homemade mac & cheese w/hot dog slices. DELICIOUS! Sometimes I'll ask them to add bacon . If I'm feeling especially calorie oblivious!
