    We are not from the neighborhood, but we love to go to drift when Brittany is behind the bar ! She is super friendly kind and have a lot of hospitality! In a town that you get a lot of severs with her you make a friend ! Thank you !!!!

    The food was amazing and the service was great! I'm torn between telling everyone to race here and try it - and keeping this fantastic secret to myself!

    Poor service, poor food, poor drinks. A complete waste aside from the decor and location.

    Although this is technically a whiskey bar, they have an afternoon high tea that I visited with my…read moremother and daughter. First off, this bar, located in the Regency Hotel, was so welcoming and comfortable. There were big comfy seats set up around small tables so if you were with a group of 4 it was a great spot to sit and talk while you ate or drank. The high tea is currently priced at $33 per person. We had a choice of a few different teas or coffee, and the tiered tray of savories, scones, and sweets. Each person received their own pot of tea, and you were able to get refills. The sandwiches were a smoked salmon, cucumber and cream cheese, and small lobster roll on brioche. There were two types of scones, with one being an Earl Grey tea glazed. There was a good array of sweets with several delicious Macarons, and other small petite fours. All three of us had plenty to eat with a few take-home items. Our waitress was very attentive and sweet. Best part is there is free valet parking so you don't have to worry about finding a spot in downtown Portland. It was a lovely afternoon and we would definitely do this again! Highly recommended!

    I stayed at this hotel recently and thought I'd try the whiskey bar. My wife works in a senior role…read morefor a major whiskey company and I've gotten to know the products quite well. I am also a member of a local Drammers club where I live. This bar has various whiskey bottle boxes littered throughout the window ledges of the bar and I saw a couple that I really like and that are not usually in what I would call "regular" whiskey bars (where the bar markets itself as a whiskey bar but only carries basic stuff). There was nobody in the bar at the time as it was early. So, I inquired with the bartender as to whether they had the products in the boxes (which are empty) and she said we have some stuff but not others and we have a menu that is not up to date. I said i'd come back as I had to make a plan with my wife as to whether any of the relatives traveling with us would join me after we put our son to bed. I returned to the bar probably maybe an hour later later with my mother in law (my other relatives when to get food and my wife watched our son in the room). I grabbed the menu booklet and saw almost none of the whiskeys displayed on the window sills. I was specifically looking at the Islays and it was honestly slim pickens in the menu. But, given the bartender said they had some stuff not listed in the booklet, I thought i would ask. I've been to many whiskey bars all over the world and bartenders are usually very helpful when you're looking for something or something similar if the bar does not have what you're looking for. We waited and waited and waited while the Bartender walked by us multiple times ignoring us. I finally walked up next to the bar and stood waiting to ask the Bartender a question. She was the only person working and obviously had stuff to do but literally appeared to be going out of her way to ignore me. There were a total of 5 people in the whole bar area, 2 of whom were eating dinner at the bar and 3 guys who had ordered (there were another 4 in the lounge area but they were fully served and just playing cards). That's it. I stood next to the bar for a full 10 min with no acknowledgment or anything. I could see some of the brand I was looking at on the rack but not the specific product so thought I would ask if they had anything else tucked away. Finally i got a "i'll be right with you" but by this point, I was pretty frustrated. Now, when I was in my early 20s, I worked in a bar and even bartended. I get being busy. But with this amount of people to not even raise your head for a second to acknowledge my presence when I'm 3 feet away from you until I literally had to stand there for a while...all while clearly seeing me was quite insulting. I walked back to the table and my mother in law and i decided to leave. She was watching the whole thing and wanted to complain to the hotel management but I told her not to. I see in other reviews the Bartender is highly praised. Maybe the she rhought I was a pest or not serious or something-i don't know. All I can say is this Bartender lost out on a nice tip as I usually order good stuff if they have it. Oh well, fortunately this did not take away from an otherwise excellent stay at the hotel and vacation in Portland.

    i was so very lucky to have had the pleasure of getting to try 9(!!!) courses at the oh so stunning…read moreJefferson Co. this past Sunday night! i have been a big fan of their first location, the Jefferson Speakeasy, for years because Alex (the owner) and his staff are truly unmatched. every conversation, every bite, every sip is genuine, purposeful and magical they have hospitality down to a science, the art of food and drink mastered, and the love for their RI community is truly one of a kind. who else invites a large group to a 3-4 course dinner, only to serve 9 well thought out dishes, served with craft cocktails, delicious sparkling rose, and smooth red wine so each sip and bite is unique and memorable. not to mention service was organized, systematic and seamless. guests felt at home--as all staff is beyond personable (per usual ) and all dietary restrictions were taken care of meticulously so that everyone's experience was special. i have honestly never seen anything like it in my life i don't stay out late on a Sunday night, especially in a state i don't even live in, so that is saying a lot about me attending this special tasting. my amazing server, Emery, knew i was getting antsy about it being way past my bedtime, and she packed our desserts to go, which was so appreciated as missing the banana foster was not remotely an option in my mind I look forward to many more wonderful experiences at this new location for many years to come.

Upon entrance is a doorman who is so friendly and accommodating! He found us an open table and checked on us throughout the night. The place was packed and they only had maybe 5 or 6 employees so the service was a little slow but understandable. I think the longest wait was about 20 minutes when we were waiting to get our initial drink order taken, but everything after that was fairly quick. For drinks I got a thin mint martini because they were out of the chocolate reuge martini I wanted. It was so yummy and came with 3 thin mint cookies. My mom got a pistachio martini and the Jefferson Tea. Both were pretty good but I wouldn't order again. My dad got Dead Mans Redemption which is good if you like bourbon. It comes with a wood topper and they light it on fire, let smoke fill in the drink, and then take the wood off. The drink then has notes of smoked wood in it which is cool. For food we got the crispy spring rolls and pepperoni flatbread. Both were so good!!!! It was absolutely worth the wait!!! I could eat the whole flatbread myself it was that good and I can't wait to go back and get another one. The crowd is definitely much older, not a lot of younger people around. It's a good date night for married couples. Overall it was a nice place and I would come back.

    After attending a meeting nearby we dropped into the East End after about 8:15 pm. The place was…read morepretty full of people in both the bar area and the dining room. We ordered drinks before the meal. I had a Vermont Red Ale for the first time which was very good and worth remembering. At this time they were serving'cocktails for a cause' in support of the Alzheimer's Association, which my other half decided to have. The drink, Fuchsia Butterflies ($15), was made solarium gin, house-made lemoncello, with a Gran Classico & Violet Rinse. It was quite excellent. I had a sip to try (I am usually not one for cocktails) and enjoyed the taste. Perhaps I will try cocktails in the future. For food we shared curry moules frites, well done, just how I like them, and salt and vinegar Wings - tasty but too salty which detracted from the dish. We ended with a good chocolate mint creme brûlée. The check came to $80 to which we added a decent tip for our friendly server, Triston. We have always enjoyed the vibe and cozy environment of this place and are sure to return.
