New England - Portland, ME - Where to eat?

Anyone know of good places to eat at/around Portland Maine? I'm going there for business in 2 weeks with some clients and we would like to find a nice place to get some good food/lobster rolls! Any help is appreciated ^

For lobster rolls in town - you can try any of the places on Commercial St in the Old Port. For fish go to Street and Co on Wharf St. Fore Street is good wood grilled local food. Caiola's in the West Ends is Great!! For drinks go to Grace - a great grand space in an old church.

Any help is appreciated ^Do a search in this forum. Restaurant favorites have been talked about quite a bit. Good luck with your business.

I rely on chowhound.com and zagat.com for my dining recommendations. I used those sites for a recent overnight in Portland and ended up having a wonderful meal at The Salt Exchange (http://www.thesaltexchange.net/).

Bresca is one of my favorites but is certainly not Italian. :confused:
