My husband and I went to dinner there for my birthday and could not have been happier with the food, service and attention. As soon as we sat down the waiter Paul wished me a happy birthday and I had a personalized menu presented to me. The mussels recommended where perfect and the best we ever had. The hangar steak...

The tasting menu is delicious and scrumptious! From the mussels, steak, cheese plate to desert, everything gets a gold star. Great unpretentious service. In my opinion, Portland's number one restaurant!

This understated upscale place has a wonderful setting, exceptional food and great service. The taster menu is a wonderful treat, however, enough for two people.

There is no doubt that Portland has the highest concentration of great restaurants per capita in the north east, and in our opinion Five Fifty Five is the best of the best. We regularly travel between Nova Scotia and Washington, DC and since Portland is half way we visit several times a year. Ten plus years ago we arrived in... More

For my husband's birthday, we decided to celebrate in Portland. Since we haven't been there in awhile, he did the research and came up with 555. What a great choice. While it took a few minutes to get seated and then greeted at our table, not surprising on a busy Saturday, we were delighted by the birthday card delivered to... More

Visited Maine on my honeymoon this past fall, and loved Portland. This restaurant was amazing,very romantic and unforgetable food!
