Elizabeth’s a young restaurant that’s gotten an awful lot of things right in a short amount of time. A warm, welcoming and sophisticated atmosphere that quickly envelops you. The red lacquer painted ceiling, elevated art and music “transported” us to modern France. Our server was friendly and attentive to make sure we had an enjoyable meal throughout. It’s busy and buzzy so seating at the bar was a little tight and we could see staff working hard to get everything out of the kitchen. We thought the food was creative and very enjoyable. Our cigarette/caviar starter was clever, the halibut entree was delicious and we loved the soufflé juniper desert! We had a great time - thank you!

Bread and Friends remains one of my favorite restaurants in the Greater Portland, ME area. The chef is very creative, and every dish was spectacular. (I especially loved the pasta dish- braised lamb agnolotti!) I love that they change their menu often. Our server was excellent too, friendly and personable. It is my go to place when I want to treat myself to a special dining experience. Bread and Friends never fails to deliver!
