Restaurants near Allagash Brewing Company

Knock my socks off Isa Bistro! A welcome variety of excellently prepared dishes. From the airy focaccia to the lobster tostada, house salad, sole, and steak frites.The tres leches dessert is sublime. The service is so friendly upbeat, and on point. What a wonderful meal. Wow!

Overall dining experience for two was perfect! Exceptional service, food and setting. We started with a cocktail (a generous pour), shared the grilled octopus and beet salads - - each was delicious with the perfect balance of flavors. Next we shared a pasta course - - Tortelli which was stuffed with potato and ricotta and served with a light butter sauce with shaved truffles and sage. Although some butter sauces can be cloying, this was defiantly not. For the entree, we shared the rack of lamb which was served with carrots - - also outstanding. Although not needed, we left with a box of cookies to enjoy later and reminisce about our wonderful dining experience. When the little things can matter - - sparkling water was offered w/o charge and the olive oil served with the complementary bread was delicious. We look forward to our return visit.

Found this place randomly while passing through Portland and have been back twice since then. We’ve loved all the tacos we’ve tried, and the sprouts are a must! I was a little sad there weren’t mango margaritas this time though - so good!

Excellent Italian food and moderately priced wine. Notable happy hour with $4 snacks. Attentive servers and knowledgeable bartender. Delightful week night dinner in the heart of the Old Port.

The mushroom ravioli were a work of genius. Paired well with a good Albariño. Chocolate-cashew torte was excellent. Service very pleasant and efficient. Splendid meal.
