Phenomenal dining experience with some of the best food we’ve had. The swordfish was the best I’ve ever had and the pork was outstanding. Great service, atmosphere, and value. Highly recommend.

Very cute/cozy restaurant. Got a salad/app, main entrees, and desert. Thought the portions were good. Service was good as well. The only issue was they would open the door occasionally and it would get cold. Besides that it was a very good experience.

Bread and Friends remains one of my favorite restaurants in the Greater Portland, ME area. The chef is very creative, and every dish was spectacular. (I especially loved the pasta dish- braised lamb agnolotti!) I love that they change their menu often. Our server was excellent too, friendly and personable. It is my go to place when I want to treat myself to a special dining experience. Bread and Friends never fails to deliver!

The hostess was amazing. It was family feud night and she made it clear how noisy it would be in the regular seating area and suggested we sit in the bar area instead which was perfect. The bartender was friendly and the food and drinks were really good. Wouldn’t expect anything else from these guys!
