Restaurants near Neal Dow Memorial

This was my fifth visit, so it’s clear that I love driving over from Peterborough, NH to eat with you all. I was delighted, this time, to introduce a group of friends with whom I traveled to Sardinia this past year, a group of folks who travel widely, often together and often throughout Italy, and they all agreed with me that I this is the best Italian meal we’ve had outside of Italy, and better than much we’ve had in Italy. Meghan, our server, was absolutely fabulous, as was Lydia, who simplified the process of our adding a seventh person to the party at pretty much the 11th hour. Thank you to both of them.

This is a great neighborhood spot- all the food we had was delicious- special shout out to the salads and the eggplant parmesan. You won't go wrong at this fun, lively place.

I want to move to Portland just so I can frequent The Lucky Cheetah. The decor was stunning and the seating was so comfortable. The ambience itself was just perfect. The playlist was something I would’ve personally picked. The Jaded Lover cocktail was so delicious and refreshing. We loved every single bite we had, but our favorite was the sesame beef bao. The oxtail noodles were absolutely delicious (although I had never had oxtail and was intimidated but so glad I tried). Not to mention we were 20 minutes late for our reservation due to traveling and the hostess was so understanding and helpful. Our server had great recommendations as well. We can’t wait to come back 🍀🐆

A wonderful restaurant! Our only quibble was the service, we were unlucky with the waitress we were assigned. Her colleagues helped her to mitigate to make the restaurant a great overall experience.

On an impromptu trip to Downtown Portland, myself and company went to David’s for a quick lunch. KEVIN provided us with exceptional cocktails and lunch recommendations. Super cute spot for lunch or dinner, looking forward to coming back!
