Great Ambiance and Delicious Food
My family and I recently had a great experience at Fore Street Restaurant. The service was fabulous and the ambiance was lovely. The food was absolutely delicious. Try the lamb meatballs and the skirt steak! I will be returning to Fore Street Restaur
Unbelievable!
First time patrons. Iβm not sure why its taken so long! The drinks, the food, the service, and the space were all wonderful. The bread! Wonderful, all around.
Fantastic as always.
Food, service, atmosphere - always 10/10. Happily drive here vs Boston for date night
Salty!
All of the glowing accolades about this lovely place are true and correct with the exception of one thing. We dined there Wednesday April 10 at 5:00 and I ordered the roast pork with spaetzel . It was over salted and when I spoke to staff they said t
Dinner for two during a stay in Portland was amazing.
The ambiance of the restaurant is cozy and warm with an open kitchen. We had oysters and mussels for appetizers and both were delicious and fresh. Entrees are in the small side but so flavorful and well prepared. The flank steak could have been a big

A must try in Portland, Maine! We were seated by Alora, who was fabulous by the way. She was able to seat us, recommend great food and run a wonderfully spaced and intricate dining experience for us to enjoy. She was knowledgable, warm and friendly,

One word : Amazing Beautiful warm vibe Excellent food Excellent staff Free parking out back : ) Cannot say enough about how you have to experience Fore Street ( if you can score a Rez)
Some good, some bad
The atmosphere & building were nice, however the single candle at our table was not quite enough to light the menus to read them easily - you had to tilt the menu toward the candle. The waiter was friendly & welcoming. The food was for th

Lucky to have been able to make a reservation at this great restaurant March 10th, 2024. The service was impeccable. Jillian was our server. The food is farm to table here, put together artistically and is one of the best meals out there. We were a t
We dined at Fore Street last night to celebrate my birthday.
I was really excited to have a great meal. The host and server were very friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, my hangar steak was just not very good. And the garlic mashed potatoes were just okay. My husband's chicken was good as was the corn bread
Lasagna was good.
Service was not. The girl at the front was rude and was more concerned her nails than with her customer service. She explained everything to me as if I was in kindergarten and proceeded to give us stares the entire time. The rest of the wait staff wa

The service at Fore Street was great - from the host to waitstaff, 10/10. Our server, Joe, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly! We both had the hangar steak, and split sides of sweet potatoes and carrots. It was all delicious, but nothing that m

Came here for my boyfriend's birthday and I loved it! Everything is locally sourced and the kitchen is open so you get to watch them prepare things. They carry my favorite Chardonnay: Louis Jadot and their jams on their charcuterie board was deliciou
We finally got a reservation after years of trying.
This is the most overrated restaurant we've ever been to. The food was good but nothing special. The service was adequate but also nothing special, and the server could not answer our questions about wines. The atmosphere is cozy but about as far fro
Overrated
Decent food and service. Atmosphere cozy but rustic. Nothing special. Highly overrated. Cornbread was excellent/order it for dessert.

Amazing Experience
My wife and I dined here on a recent Friday evening. We broke our βDry Januaryβ fast with some outstanding Chablis , several cocktails, and some amazing food. We started with the wood grilled squid, which was amazing, and the wood grilled wild mu
Excellent
Havenβt been here in many years Dined at bar and bartender was very attentive!! The mussels were excellent! Pricy but going out to dinner these days is pricy. 27 years in business they are doing something right
Never Disappoints, a Culinary Delighter!
This 20+ year Portland restaurant does not disappoint. Really serves up delicious food from a menu that offered us so many favourites it was tough to choose just a couple. Beef tartare delicious, waiter should have pointed out where the toast was on
Great food, great atmosphere, a bit rushed.
We went to a lot of trouble to land a reservation at the Fore Street Restaurant. It was not easy. The food and menu didn't disappoint. Not cheap. Four of us ate; one had rabbit, one veal, one chicken and I had the duck. Everything was great.
Great spot!
Good food, great service, and lovely vibe! Perfect for a date night out. We particularly loved the maple walnut creme brulee for dessert.
Intimate and high quality
My wife and I went for our anniversary. Overall a charming and warm atmosphere. The smell from the wood fired ovens gave it a rustic feel. However donβt be fooled. Our dining was extraordinary. The quality of the food and attention to detail was e

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Fore Street Restaurant South Portland at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Fore Street Restaurant South Portland page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Fore Street Restaurant South Portland to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Fore Street Restaurant South Portland!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
