CASUAL OR FORMAL PRIVATE PARTIES

Greater Portland rivals most major metropolitan cities with a delightful variety of award-winning restaurants. If lobsters are what you crave—whether on the beach, aboard a cruise, or atop crisp linen—the celebrated crustacean is worth the trip alone. But, seafood is not the only game in town. From casual to elegant, Thai to Cajun, you’ll find fresh ingredients infused with international flavors all across the region.
