Came here for my birthday and honestly this was by far the best restaurant I’ve ever been to. The food was definitely delicious and the waiting staff was so friendly and polite. If you’re looking for an upscale top of the line place to eat this place is for you. We plan on making this our go to spot.

Had a really lovely experience here for my birthday! Our server was sweet and accommodating….the food was so fresh, prepped with love, and came out in a timely way.. we ordered quite a bit off the menu but my favorite part was the steak tartare appetizer. Also got the tomahawk, lots of veggies and aligot potatoes, which were incredible. I’d highly recommend!

Wow. Just wow. We were a bit nervous after some of the reviews. However, our expectations were exceeded.

Hands down the best culinary experience we have had in Portland. Server was extremely knowledgeable and kind, food was near perfect (highly suggest the Steak Frites and the bone marrow appetizer) will definitely head back next time in town.

Had the chef’s counter experience and it exceeded our expectations. Staff was amazing and the food was even better. Everything came out promptly and filled us up quickly. Will absolutely come back especially for the bone marrow dish!

We stopped in after shopping in Old Port as we had heard good things. First, what a cool environment and great food. We brought our toddler with us who was treated great by the wait staff and loved the food. The noise level was also great and provided cover for intimate conversations and our toddler being their usual self. Also, do yourself a favor and get the calamari appetizer.

We were very disappointed with our experience over the weekend. We made a 7:30pm reservation in advance but weren’t seated until after 8:00pm. They seemed to be apologetic but thanked us by charging us $5.00 additional to share a salad. The food was decent but not worth the wait or aggravation. There are many great restaurant’s in Portland, The Grill Room should consider this fact when creating these policies. Ownership should really consider improving on the customer experience, and charging to share a salad doesn’t help. We are not cheap, we go the the best restaurants around Portland, but enough is enough. Stop this ridiculous plate charge, we paid over $250 for 2 of us to eat/drink. Did you really need my $5.00?

Ridiculously overpriced. I feel like I was robbed. I ordered the scallops entree and I am filled with great regret. I got the lobster added on as they claimed it was a special and let me tell you – it was beyond ludicrous what they charged me $61 for!! I really think they should not have called this lobster but more like essence of the lobster… I added the bread on the plate so it wouldn’t look so empty. I am ashamed to say I left and had to find food because I was still very hungry. I would NEVER go back and I surely won’t be recommending anyone to visit. I really want back my money if I’m being honest cause this is going to haunt me for years!

Wow hard to pick from a great menu. Oysters were fantastic. Steak was a little under seasoned for my tastes but done to perfection. Wait staff was very attentive without hovering. I’ll be back. There is a whole lot of menu to explore.

Wife took me here for my birthday dinner. Loved the food and had some great options as well as great drink options. The staff was very friendly and also accommodating. Sat at the bar/table overlooking the kitchen and it was a great time.
