We can't thank Corbin and the team for all they did to make the food and service so memorable!

Wow. What a pleasure it was to work with 111 Maine and eat their food at our wedding!…read more A month later and guests are still telling us how great the food was.

They really thought of everything and the cocktail hour, dinner and bar service were just perfect. At one point during the cocktail hour, one of the servers came up to ask me what I wanted to sample and brought me a plate of appetizers - knowing how hard it is for the bride and groom to actually eat on their own wedding day. It was moments like that one that make 111 Maine stand out as one of the best vendor decisions we made for our wedding.

We went to one of the farm to table dinners and Do not waste your money. It was my birthday dinner…read moreand was so disorganized, everybody was leaving plates of food cause it was inedible and it took forever. You eat family style which isnt my fave but in particular really isnt my fave if youre starving and running on a few 2oz shots of cider as there is no beer, wine, full pours of anything or even water? We sat at the end of the table and when the main entree (chicken) came out it was put in the middle so by the time it got to us we got about 2 bites of gristly thigh- and then the "chef" had the audacity to ask if we were full?! It was pretty clear that there was no edible chicken or pureed vegetables by the time it got down to us so when they cleared plates that didnt have food it should have gone without saying. We had to go home and order a pizza, mainly cause this took so long everything was closed. For the price point you could actually eat food you wanted almost anywhere else in Maine. I didnt feel comfortable complaining as it is generally not necessary in fine dining establishments and would have been rude in such a setting, particularly as we were sat next to a business associate of the chef. Such a disappointment.

Was excited to find the Farm To Coast food truck recently because I had heard they had a vegan tofu…read morebánh mì (which is my favorite sandwich these days). I ordered two and, while my partner in crime absolutely LOVED his, I wasn't really a fan. The sandwich comes on a baguette and is filled with a slab of coconut curry marinated tofu, pickled veg (like carrots and radishes), spicy vegan mayo, and cilantro. Unfortunately, my bread was pretty burned - as such, that black toast char was the dominating flavor (and smell). It was also the dominating ingredient as the slab of tofu was much smaller than I was expecting. In the end, I tossed the bread and ate just the tofu and veggies (which, again, I wish there had been more of, and much less of the stems of cilantro). Loved the variety of spices that came from the individual components of the jalapenos, the curry, and the spread though! While I was disappointed in the sandwich I got (especially at $11 when compared to sandwiches of similar prices from other food trucks), I still think they're great. The person taking my order was super friendly, the person making the food was engaging, and their passion to use as much fresh, local ingredients as possible is impressive and appreciated. Also the presentation of their food is stunning, and proves that restaurant quality food can come out of a mobile kitchen. While they might not be my first choice, I definitely appreciate what they're creating and the flavor profiles they're exploring!

Wow! Literally no complaints or constructive criticism for this food truck. The food was cooked…read morequickly, the customer service was friendly, and portion sizes were generous. I got a Pork Belly Bahn Mi and a fry. When I dropped $17 for lunch I THOUGHT that was a lot until they handed me two large boats full of food that I couldn't finish! The sandwich was fresh and juicy. The fries were perfectly crisp and seasoned. I was able to share the fries with 2 other coworkers! It's not often that I walk away from a food truck thinking portion sizes align with both the quality and the pricing, but this one nails it. The menu isn't large, but that's because they choose to perfect what they are slinging, putting quality over quantity. Definitely give this place a try... and split the fries!

A winter wedding is hard to plan, celebrating Maine's finest. Laura's catering is a one stop shop. Our party was small, comparatively, 48 guests. A perfect menu, perfect venue, perfect bar service.

From the raw bar to the wedding cake, everything was exactly what we wanted and more. We got wonderful feedback from the guests on the whole event, especially her emphasis on procuring locally sourced food, and how beautiful the venue was with her table settings and arrangement of the space. Her vision, execution and experience brought our celebration to life. Maine and Laura shone!

Red Claw provided absolutely no utensils for opening the lobsters - no seafood crackers, no crab mallets, no seafood scissors, and no crab knives. They expected us to open up the lobsters with a wooden knife and fork... Red Claw served so-called steaks and soggy corn, yet there were no salt-and-pepper shakers or any other condiments made available. The food was so inedible that guests left the reception early so they could get something to eat at nearby restaurants. Red Claw should change their name to Amateur Hour Lobster Bakes.

Tom & his team knocked it out of the park for our Rehearsal Dinner last weekend!!…read more Super communicative throughout the planning process, Tom arrived at the property a few hours before the dinner for set up - all he asked of us was hose access & any beers we could spare ;) We did a Lobster Bake for 45 people and everything was delicious - from the lobsters (or risotto, for our vegetarian friends), to the blueberry cake, to the hardboiled egg timers!
