Great New Restaurant
Review By Gastronome for Encore 310 in Portland on 6/8/2008
3 diners, $60-$99 per person on Jun 7 2008
OrderCrispy Duck Confit, the BEST Crab Cakes EVER, Escargot, Golden Beet Salad, Caesar Salad, Lobster Bisque, Wild Salmon, Tenderloin, Rack of Lamb, Berry Bread Pudding, Lemon Decadence. The wine list is phenomenal and very decently priced. We finished with Port and Tom Grant at the piano. We will definitely be back soon. Great neighborhood find.
ReviewVery nice surprise on walking in. The restaurant has been completely redesigned and is warm, inviting. Didn't even know it was there!

The staff were knowledgeable, quiet, attentive - the food was the best we have enjoyed in some time. Flavorful but not overdone, great flavor combinations, all in all we enjoyed every bite.

We brought a bottle of Pinot - to our surprise, they didn't charge us any corkage. We ordered champagne and then a nice port after dinner.

The best surprise - Tom Grant playing with a great young singer. Quite an evening - we will be back often because it's easy to get to with the streetcar from the waterfront.
