Best neighborhood restaurant, and one of my top 3 restaurants in Portland. Just a 5 minute walk up the street from the house. Small, relaxed and very friendly service. Only locals go here to escape crowds. Every dish is made impeccably, a menu foodies and picky eaters alike will love!

You're in Maine- you have to! there are actually SEVERAL LL Bean buildings up in Freeport, so its much bigger than you think it will be. Around the store there are lots of other outlet stores, and be sure and checkout the off-site LL Bean Outlet store which has better deals. Its located across Main Street near the Old Navy store.
