• Contemporary American • Portland
Booked 129 times today
Located in Portland's Old Port District, Fore Street opened in June, 1996. The interior surrounds a unique brick and soapstone hearth with a wood-burning oven, grill and turnspit; visible from most tables. We believe that good food travels the shortest possible distance between the farm and the table. Our menu changes every day and is founded upon the very best raw materials from a community of Maine farmers, fisherman, foragers and cheese makers. Most of the Maine foods are organically grown or harvested wild, each brought to us at the peak of its season. In 2002 and again in 2007, Fore Street was named by Gourmet Magazine as one of the Top Fifty Restaurants in the United States. In 2004, Chef-Partner Sam Hayward was named Best Chef: Northeast by the James Beard Foundation.

    Food was excellent, service perfect, ambiance was great too. Only thing was hard to find when dropped off by Uber. Restaurant is on a walking side st. and no signs stating where it was. Had to ask a local for directions. Other than that totally worth it.

    Incredible food, service, and vibe at Mr. Tuna! Your best bet is to order one of everything, but don’t miss the handrolls, the avocado salad, or the toasties for dessert. Great wine list too!
