Not to pick on Fore Street, but I found it incredibly awkward that we had to settle our bar tab first before we were seated for dinner – it would have been much more gracious if they had carried our tab forward to our...

Just wanted to thank you all. Went up to Portland, ME this weekend and thanks to you had a delightful meal at Fore Street! Loved everything from the breads to the dessert. First class all the way. Esp. enjoyed the roasted mussels...

I would definitely give Hugo’s a try. It’s a very different dining experience than Fore Street and it can definitely “knock your socks off”. Wonderful flavors, textures and presentations — complex...

Have you read Gourmet? Fore Street & Arrows voting in the “Top 50 Restaurants!” Love both. Had the most expensive dinner at Arrows but had a great time. Of course we were drinking ridiculously expensive wine! One of...
