The food was fine but felt a bit overpriced as the portions are pretty small compared to other similar restaurants in the nearby area. Our favorite thing was the Karaage Don, but it was a touch too forward with the citrus flavor. I appreciated that the onion rings weren't overly battered. The atmosphere was fine, doesn't feel overly cozy but is comfortable. Typically if I am paying for a higher priced meal, I am looking for a more interesting environment. Our server was kind and attentive. Overall it was a good experience but for the price I don't think this will be a regular spot.

I started off with the 'banana bread old fashioned'. This was my first experience with chocolate bitters, the shit mixed so well with the banana bitters, it tasted like a real piece of banana bread.

Vibes were nice, real small real intimate spot, love the collection of bourbons and whiskeys on display. Now that lobster roll..... best one i had on my 6 day New England bender. Didn't expect it to hit this hard, but when in Maine!

Before visiting Broadway Bowl, a friend of mine told me - you've been to bowling alleys with a bar…read morein it. This is a bar with a bowling alley in it. After the experience, I totally agree. Where Broadway Bowl shines is with their food and cocktails. The whole bar/restaurant side is lively, warm, and generally all the atmosphere you would need. The bowling side needs a little work. When we came on a Friday evening, there was a quoted 15 - 20 min wait for a lane. Totally reasonable, so we visited the bar in the meantime. Ordered a couple of seasonal cocktails that were dynamite - one of them a smokey Mezcal concoction and the other one a Peppermint Espresso Martini (how could you go wrong?) We also snagged a plate of nachos and some of their house wings. The wings were perfectly serviceable with some fun sauce options on the side. The nachos, though, were out of this world. The make their own tortilla chips and season them perfectly. They come fully loaded with salsa, sour cream, jalapenos, cheese, and diced bell peppers and onions, which is a welcome addition and makes these some of the most flavorful nachos I've had in the area. The bartender was super helpful and friendly, even though they were really busy. Once we got to the lane, though, the service was not great. Our server kept dodging us and it was awkward ordering drinks or settling up our tab. Also, you pay by the hour for a lane here, and if something goes wrong with the lane, they don't stop the clock. So we lost nearly 10 minutes when our lane needed resetting but never got that time or money back. Overall, I would totally come back here for the food and drinks, just maybe not to bowl.

I must say the wait staff service was excellent from start to finish, always there when we needed something and the classic New England atmosphere with all the boats outside made the evening feel warm, elegant, and memorable. I highly recommend this place for any special occasion!

We finally made our way to Saltwater Grille, and I see now why this place is popular among locals. I can't think of another place in SoPo that offers similar views. If you sit outside, you'll get unbeatable views of Portland's Old Port and the East End, plus plenty of fancy boats. The menu was varied, and since we went for lunch, we opted for handhelds. My haddock sandwich was delicious, and the portion of fries that came with it was generous. My husband's burger was good, but he said it wasn't too memorable. The fish dip we got as an appetizer was not good; it was clearly previously frozen or something, because it was hard to even dip the crackers into it. We ended up using our oyster forks to dip the crackers instead. Definitely overpriced for what we got. Given the vibe, I totally understand why the prices run a little higher, but I'm not sure the quality of the food makes up for it.

It was pretty hot that day, though, so we eventually headed inside. The inside has more of a traditional pub-style feel. There's also a really cool gate door where they keep all the "member" mugs, which was such a fun little detail! Service was good and the staff was friendly. Parking was super easy, too--we parked right in front. They also have a cute entryway with a garden-like vibe that I really loved. Overall, a fun spot to stop in for a few drinks they did serve food however we didn't get anything to eat.
