Very fun, upscale place to hang out on the deck upstairs or downstairs. In the fall/winter, it is very cosy with stone fireplace. Good for large parties/events, or informal gatherings as the upstairs has lots of high tops. Right on the waterfront!

The view here will give you a view over Portland. It is a high end place to have happy hour or later night drinks. Especially good on the first Friday of the month when there is a wonderful First Friday Art Walk.
