The Front Room 73 Congress Street, Portland, ME 04101

"Exceptional brunch. Delicious food, great service, yummy beverages…this place screams go-to brunch spot. Cool bar area that seems like it is always sought after by regulars. Otherwise, the restaurant is bustling and you may have to wait a few minutes but it is worth it. The BYO omelette is killer. I didn’t see anything come out of the kitchen that didn’t look delicious. I suggest trying the front room and when you’re done, take a stroll down a few blocks to the water and enjoy the scenery."

"Delicious! Definitely homemade! A great gem! We got the steak and eggs & biscuits with gravy! Yummy!"

"The lobster benedict was delicious and service was good. The only disappointment was 'MP' was $40, while you can walk a mile down the road and get a whole lobster at other restaurants for ~$25-30; which is what I would have expected to pay. Very good, but better options for the price."

"Quaint and lovely atmosphere. Excellent customer service. Nice selection of wines and cocktails. The Seared Tuna was delicious on the Farm Salad but the salad itself could be more flavorful."

"Vibe: nice open room with kitchen in the back corner, some outdoor seating Service: great service from wait staff although there were only two people in the kitchen so we waited just under an hour for food Food: very good, absolutely LOVED the french toast: delicious custard, good texture, perfect portion, real maple syrup. Had a bite of the croque madam which was very good. Home fries were good but nothing special. Had a mocha latte which was fine. Value: $$ pricing felt on point for quality and quantity of food Other: street parking nearby is somewhat limited, we were able to park down at the end of the road in a lot near the shore. Overall this was a good breakfast although food service was on the slow side. Highly recommend the french toast."
