Scales

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.

Wonderful fresh seafood and more. Fish on ice and lobster as you come in. Excellent cocktails! The staff are also well aware of gluten issues.
