Food was tremendous...try the lobster truffle mac and cheese and the flank steak...atmosphere was subdued without being too casual and not too stuffy all at the same time...service was impeccable...save room for dessert, they are worth it! Do not leave Portland without eating here. more

After seeing this listed as the #1 place to eat in Portland - we checked out the menu on their website and were super excited to go there for our anniversary dinner.

Additionally we had their famous "Knuckle sandwhich" of green-fried tomatoes with pickled gherkins, squash and lobster all of which were... more

On a recent trip to Portland, my partner and I were looking for a good place for lunch before heading to the airport. We were so lucky that we remembered 555 from the Yankee Magazine 5 best.
