Really really great pizza! We tried two gluten free pizzas, the pepperoni hot honey and the chicken bacon ranch. The crust is really good but the highlight was the chicken bacon ranch. Best I've had ever. The location offers beautiful views and the atmosphere was great.

Atmosphere, staff, and food were all amazing. We are a gluten free family and usually limited menu choices - Not here! There was a wide variety of gluten free items on the menu! We ordered the fish and chips, fish sandwich, braised short rib, cottage pie, and pickled onion rings. All were amazing! The batter for the fried items is always gluten free and items fried in a separate frier.

Our waitress was very friendly and attentive to my gluten allergy. She went above and beyond to explain the products and options on the menu I could have. The pesto sauce was the best we’ve ever had and it did not disappoint! The whole staff was very friendly and the food presentation was fantastic.

If you need gluten free this is not the place. It's an afterthought here. Plenty of other options in Old Port to go to...like Ri Ra where you will be safer eating and you have a ton more options than the sad 2 or 3 offerings at this joint

It's an absolute treat to have breakfast with gluten free toast! I had the veggie omelette and it was delicious with a drizzle of their local hot sauce. My husband had the eggs Benedict Florinte and the eggs were perfectly prepared. It was a full house but the staff kept the hot coffee flowing. The kitchen was also fantastic turning out the breakfast dishes quickly. When we left, there was a line of people waiting which is always a sign that the food is worth the wait.

Very impressive place. The service we received was exceptional (thank you Sandra)… knowledgeable, helpful, and attentive without being the least bit overbearing. The food was AWESOME. After a week here in Portland, I had filled up on local haddock and cod and lobster… so I had the swordfish which was *excellent*. Servers on a bed of cassoulet beans, just lovely and tasty. Our server was knowledgeable about the food and made dealing with my wife’s gluten and dairy allergies no big deal, just like it was a routine request. She had the scallops which were gorgeously seared and tasty. Oh… if you love bread (like I do) have the anadama bread. OMG, a light drizzle of molasses and sweet butter. Crazy good. Deserts were also excellent: I had the Indian pudding (awesome)… my wife the GF/DF sorbet. And they have real espresso that’s truly legit. Solid five stars. Fine dining, where you feel comfortable in jeans and a T shirt, but are guaranteed to get a first rate meal. Yup… highly recommended.

Very busy! And for a reason, Great food! Got to watch the staff in action while waiting for the food to arrive. Staff very attentive. If you don't know how to shell & clean a lobster, staff will assist you. I couldn't have the chowder as it contained gluten, but REALLY enjoyed the lobster. Food gets delivered by boat to the back of the building and hauled straight into the kitchens. It's fresh and fabulous.

Being my first time in Portland, Maine, my colleagues thought it a treat to take me to a popular restaurant, DeMillos on the Water. I was pleasantly surprised with the variety and diversity of seafood options (it is what they are known for) as well as land options for those that prefer. What none of us were prepared for was the incredible wit from our server 'Bobby' who has worked at this establishment for 28 years. Her incredible humor, strong knowledge of the menu and recommendations did not fall on deaf ears. We not only laughed throughout the meal but were also incredibly impressed with the food that we were served. I started with the Lobster Stew, which as 'Bobby' described, was full of buttery goodness and flavor. It did NOT disappoint! In addition, they have both gluten free as well as gluten free options to many of the selections. The pecan crusted haddock that several of us chose was packed with flavor and more than satisfying. I can't think of a better location to have your 'first meal' in Maine and would go back just for the entertainment that our server provided for us!

This pub has quickly become my new favorite! As you walk in and seat yourself at a table, you'll sense the local charm. The food is consistently fresh, and the draft list boasts an impressive array of unique options. The fried pickles were a standout – apologies for the picture taken post-indulgence! I personally loved the steak and cheese, though my husband found it a bit small; he's eager to return for the crispy fish and chips. The falafel sandwich had the right portion size, but it could use more sauce and veggies (not pictured). The fries are delicious, and the burgers are satisfyingly thick (also not pictured). Gluten-free buns are an option. My son raved about the wings, though he felt they were a bit pricey. Discovering this gem took us far too long, but we'll definitely be back!
