Harbor Bistro + Terrace

We stayed at the Portland Harbor Hotel. On our last day we decided to try breakfast at the Blue Fin. The food was outstanding. However-the prices and service not so much. I have some dietary restrictions. I ordered egg whites and 2 pieces of French toast plain. I asked for sugar free syrup, but they didn’t have any. The bill arrived and I was charged $27.00 for the order. When we asked for further explanation she said we charge $4.00 per egg (I ordered 3) and she wasn’t sure how to ring in the French toast so she just charged us for the French toast breakfast. She said there wasn’t a manager around or anyone to help so there wasn’t anything she could do. My review is to caution you if you have restrictions for eating or want a more budget friendly meal or some good service. Other than that. The food was good.

Nestled within the Portland Harbor Hotel, this seafood restaurant is a great for a quiet but elegant meal. The service was excellent and we felt welcome from the moment we entered. The seafood is only the freshest, including amazingly tender calamari and freshly-made salmon ravioli in a decedant sauce. Desserts were amazing too. And I have to add the bartender makes some of the best cocktails around.

Very good food here! My wife and I stayed at the Portland Harbor Hotel this summer, and ended up dining here. While we liked Scales slightly more, this was easily our 2nd favorite restaurant on our vacation. The food was done very well (some of the best salmon I've had), and the outside dining is in a nice little courtyard/garden in the middle of the hotel. Very intimate.

This is a COVID-era review. One need to take into account that all dining experiences are going to be "not normal". We were seated at a nice table on the patio that was comfortably spaced from others. One must note that this is located inside the Portland Harbor Hotel. We ordered the Lobster-scargot was a play on escargot and the Caesar salad. They were both very goodl. We decided on two entrees to share- the scallops (it came with a butternut squash risotto) and the filet. Both dishes were quite good. We look to return in the future under better times.
