Reviews for Broken Arrow in Portland, ME
Stay with this long story- Made reservations for 4, August 24 through app. Showed up at on time, and host said the reservation... app glitched and the restaurant did not have our table. Did I mention it was super busy? The host was so incrediblyaccommodating, getting us bar seats, and setting up another 4 top for us within a few minutes. We had about 8 dishes for the 4of us. Every dish was great. We were all thrilled with the meal, cocktails and service. 5 stars for sure Read more
This review is long over due. Broken Arrow never misses. The food menu is always fresh, inventive, and delicious. The cocktails... are well made, ingenious, and balanced. This is the kind of place to take a first date, celebrate with friends, or enjoy alone.The staff is forever friendly and Lyle and Holly make it one of the best places in town. The vision of this restaurant is clearall the way through and so well executed it shines in a mix of hodgepodge that can be the Portland restaurant scene. If youhaven’t been you’re simply missing out, make a reservation and treat yourself. You deserve it. Read more
We did our own 5-course tasting menu and it was absolutely delicious. The service was amazing. The portions were the perfect... size to leave you feeling satiated but not over-full. The flavors of each course were very different and a delight to thepalate. Overall a wonderful, delicious evening out that felt fancy and special but not pretentious. Read more
We had the five course tasting menu paired with cocktails. Each dish was excellent. I would've liked to see more of the house... original cocktails paired, but we enjoyed most of them. Read more
Rabbit Rillettes - the bread is bomb, so freaking good. The pickled fennel absolutely floored me, loved it so much. The rabbit... Rillettes itself lacked oomf which was rather disappointing as rabbit is usually such a bold flavor, it was definitelyovershadowed. Boquerones - very high quality, delicate flavor. Not like anchovies from a Caesar salad. Thought they wereexcellent but if you're not an anchovy person you might want to look elsewhere. Cavatelli - the meat is so good. cavatelli isvery doughy. Flavors are great, texture not my favorite. Mushroom and spaetzle is a flavor bomb and i loved every part of thisdish. Really enjoyed myself here. Would definitely come again to try the rest of the menu Read more
Amazing please with a great owner and a wonderful vision. Opened in October 2020, the menu changes to reflect the local... ingredients they receive. Meat received ethically and atmosphere is lovely, both pleasent and intimate with dark wood. Read more
The bartenders here are magicians! Started with a lovely happy hour cocktail - watermelon, orange, rhubarb gimlet. Then moved... onto the oysters that were paired perfectly with a Sancerre. Everything I ate was incredible. Fresh local ingredients, andgreat portions, even the tasting menu sizes. Can’t wait to go back and try a few more things! Read more
Nice service, decent food. Seasonal roasted squash salad had nice ingredients well cooked but drowned in dressing. Roasted... carrots had some nice touches. Read more
