C2- Congress Squared Restaurant 157 High Street, Portland, ME 04101

"Great little hotel restaurant and bat. Service was amazing. Chowah + Lobster Mac n Cheese delicious."

"Wonderful breakfasts while staying at this hotel. Try some lobster with your breakfast. I really enjoyed the berries and yogurt also. I had dinner here the last night of my stay and it was divine. Street parking is sparce and the parking deck is expensive so walk or uber if you aren't staying at the hotel. The manager clearly knows what she is doing as does the chef. Amazing."

"Shockingly loud; no manager to politely encourage people to use their indoor voices. People were literally screaming for the hour we were waiting for two burgers. We weren’t offered bread or nuts…the waiter was very nice but this is nuts. We actually sat at the bar because it was quieter. And the burgers were burnt. You all are better than this."

"As an egg cookbook author, I feel pretty comfortable reviewing especially breakfasts. There's not much that can go wrong with a standard hotel breakfast of eggs, toast, coffee..but there's alot that can go right. Starting with the casual ambience and super efficient, friendly wait staff. Nice street views from the window tables. I stopped in for a quick breakfast before heading out for the day and was pleasantly surprised. The omelet was nicely cooked, not dry and overcooked as sometimes happens. I chose chicken sausage, cheddar and mushrooms as my 3 options. Delicious. I had a choice of toast and went with the wheat. It was perfectly toasted and served with housemade ( yes housemade, I asked) blueberry jam. But the real stars on the posts were the hashbrowns. Just enough spice, perfectly crunchy on the outside and tender inside. So often hashbbrowns are an insipid afterthought, but not in this case. There are other standard breakfast options ...Eggs Benedict, pancakes, eggs every which way...and sides... although I have to say a side of lobster is a new one for me! I'll come back tomorrow for breakfast again. Well worth the $14. Lisa Steele The Fresh Eggs Daily Cookbook"
