Located in Portland's Old Port District, Fore Street opened in June, 1996. The interior surrounds a unique brick and soapstone hearth with a wood-burning oven, grill and turnspit; visible from most tables. We believe that good food travels the shortest possible distance between the farm and the table. Our menu changes every day and is founded upon the very best raw materials from a community of Maine farmers, fisherman, foragers and cheese makers. Most of the Maine foods are organically grown or harvested wild, each brought to us at the peak of its season. In 2002 and again in 2007, Fore Street was named by Gourmet Magazine as one of the Top Fifty Restaurants in the United States. In 2004, Chef-Partner Sam Hayward was named Best Chef: Northeast by the James Beard Foundation.

    We have eaten at Scales numerous times when we have visited our daughter at college. This time, as all the others, the food was excellent, the service friendly and efficient, the ambiance relaxing and pleasing with the harbor view. We had marvelous corn muffins and fried octopus appetizers -yum. I chose Halibut with pecans! Also came with potatoes and got broccolini w bacon on the side; So delicious. The carrot cake for dessert was the perfect ender to share. And it wasn’t too sweet. Of course the meal wasn’t cheap, note that vegetables are generally an extra side. But we knew this going in.
