Once or twice a year we take a chance and walk over to Fore Street to see if we can score a table. We're usually rewarded with a meal that can't be beat. Tonight it was the the wood-roasted mussels which were the highlight! The open kitchen is a joy to behold. We've never been disappointed.

Says it all right here..."Fore Street's menu changes every day to allow our kitchen team to create menus from the freshest foods available, regardless of the season. Most of our raw foods are grown by farmers we know, in communities all around Maine." straight from their website. It is almost like being at a large family kitchen...very large and so... More

Waitress was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant, atmosphere was casual but upscale, kitchen is open and able to be seen from the tables, booths offer a good deal of privacy and allow you to have a nice quiet dinner. Good drink selection, porkchop was amazing as was the sausage it came with. Not a place for kids but a great date... More

Visited on Business and thoroughly enjoyed! From the front you might miss it - old warehouse front with gas lights - but one inside it opens up with nice bar and comfortable sitting area and dining area. Kitchen / prep sits in an island in the middle of the restaurant - and decor fits with old Portland - great ambiance!... More

Fore Street is a standout in Portland, and offers a menu that makes it difficult to pick something. No matter what you select, you're sure to have a special experience. Superb service and an impressive array of desserts make Fore Street a "must see" in beautiful Portland.

This is Portland's most exquisite dining option. The menu not only changed seasonally but also daily! Don't be afraid to venture out of your comfort zone and try something new. Note: this is NOT a place for kids. They hate it and the other patrons do too. We get a sitter and enjoy am adult night out.

A perfect jewel. People that care about food and know how to bring it all together. A special place.

We go to Portland, ME, at the very least, annually and Fore Street is ALWAYS on the itinerary. This year we made our reservation two months out which is as far as they accept them. We were once again thrilled to be there. The food is excellent and they have a decent wine list to make the whole experience spectacular.... More
