Restaurants near Joseph Goodman House

Jake's Famous Crawfish is one of our go-to restaurants in Portland. It's been there forever (actually, more than 100 years) and retains its old-world ambiance and service. Servers all wear short, white jackets and are schooled well, so even the younger ones thrive, and there are several true veterans. The food is prepared perfectly and arrives quickly. It's great for a special occasion or with a special friend. It tends to be busy on weekends, so make a reservation.

Traditional pre xmas dinner with our son and his wife. Always great service, food, atmosphere. Our server, Hank, was the bees knees, with perfect timing and graceful manners. Than you Ringside for being center stage of an anticipated yearly treat.

The whole dinner was fantastic, everything tasted so amazing. We got the fondue experience for two and it was certainly a flavorful delicious time. We did the brie December special and it was so robust, the fondue was just right, not liquid, not gritty, not pasty, but perfect. Afterwards we had the chicken broth and got some seafood and chicken and were greated with like 8 delicious dips. We finished with a chocolate dip with an assortment of fruit, and treats to dip in. We will definitely be coming back as fondue is one of our favorite dishes, our first date was at a fondue place that closed down, If you're in Portland, you need to stop by.

We came here to celebrate my dad’s birthday. We had a good table with a decent view of the city. Our first waitress wasn’t so kind but that didn’t bother us. We noticed a window seat open up and it had been about 30 mins so I asked the host if we could move and she said “ YES!”. After that the evening got even better. Our waitress was fun and so kind! The view was absolutely amazing and the Christmas parade ships were out! We had great food, great service and wonderful experience!

When we arrived there were no tables available despite the fact we’d made a reservation. We were offered seating outdoors (it was 50 degrees outside!) or next door at the bar. We chose to go next door to the bar where the tables were too small to even fit our drinks and the food we ordered. Over all nice staff and drinks/apps but the curry was less than impressive.
