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!

Great as always! Service was terrific at the bar. We had the mulled wine, DELICIOUS. A little disappointed they didn’t their avgolemono soup BUT the lamb stew was a great substitution. Very meaty and had great lamb flavor. Main dishes were delightful. Great date night out. Oh, and get their baklava!!!!!!

My wife and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary last night and the staff at Earth did a fantastic job. Curt our waiter was exceptional and the food was phenomenal. The combination of ingredients was very palatable as well as the presentation. I highly recommend Earth for their food and service and consider it to be one of the best dinning experiences we have ever had.

We inquired about vegan choices for Restaurant Week. Alex was outstanding in his coordinating with the chef and communicating with us about the choices. Service was attentive and thoughtful, even to the extent of accompanying our coffee with oatmeal milk.

I indicated four blocks in noise level meaning I was pleased with the LOW level of noise We had a parking spot right out front; we were shown to a booth giving lots of room; our waitress Brook was phenomenal, only checking on us when needed and not being overly aggressive; the bread and oil was great; the fried mozzarella was tasty; and the veal parmigiana was excellent!! Price was proper. All in all it was a wonderful experience and we plan to go back again soon!
