We sat on the patio overlooking the harbor and had a delightful lunch. Liam was our server, he was very nice and pleasant, checking back several times to see how things were or if we needed anything.Lunch was delicious! I had the blackened chicken sandwich with a side salad. The pineapple combined with the spicy pepper jack cheese provided just the right amount of hit and sweet combined. The salad vinaigrette was wonderful! My husband had the pork sandwich with spicy fries. He said the pork was very tender and the sauce was terrific! For dessert we shared the Black Forest cake, all I can say is it was fabulous!

I’ve known of this place for years but finally gave it a try for date night. All I have to say is wow. The atmosphere is intimate, the service is attentive and timely, and the food.. the food is incredible. The portions were wonderful. I had the New York Sirloin Steak with the mashed potato, green bean, bacon and cheese. Phenomenal. I was really impressed with this plate and I cannot wait to go back and try a new meal. I highly recommend trying this restaurant.

We brought seven kids into 43 N. at the last minute, and the experience was absolutely phenomenal. The service was impeccable, and the food was even better. What truly stood out was the owner coming out from the kitchen to be exceptionally kind to the children, in a way that very few gourmet restaurants ever do. This thoughtful gesture made our night. Highly recommend!

North 43 held our rehearsal dinner the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend. Stephane and her crew were outstanding, especially given that just prior to our arrival they experienced a major power outage. Without missing a beat, a minor change in the menu, cooking outside on grills, the dinner and service were truly outstanding. This has always been our favorite restaurant, excellent service food and atmosphere. Our guests keep raving about the atmosphere, service and food.

We had a rather last-minute opportunity to gather family over Memorial Day weekend and struggled to find a Portland venue that could accommodate a party of 18. North 43 Bistro was not only able to seat our group with only several days' notice, but gave us the most fabulous experience. Our server, Kristen, handled our table with ease even when we inadvertently threw curveballs like shifting our seats after we ordered, requesting substitutions, or a generous relative asking to group several checks together to pay for the cousins. Her service was efficient, enthusiastic, and friendly, and she really made our evening perfect. She was sincerely one of the best servers I've ever encountered. I think between us we tried all the entrees, most of the appetizers, and most of the specialty drinks, all of which were delicious. The ambiance was lovely, the view was spectacular, and we'll definitely be back...hopefully on a night Kristen is there to serve us! Thanks for a great evening!

We came here for date night and everything was superb. We have been to many of Portland's fine eateries and these guys can hang with the best. Wonderful waterfront views, delightful dishes, welcoming staff. Courtney was our server and she was a rockstar. Provided insightful commentary, was prompt but not intrusive, bubbly, and thoughtful. I had an off menu drink request and she got it spot on. Highly reccommend.

This is a gem of a restaurant in South Portland, Maine. Terrific cocktail offerings and service. The food was prepared perfectly and was tastefully garnished. We look forward to returning in the warmer weather to enjoy their scenic deck.

What a beautiful location! Food was beautifully presented and tasted wonderful. The chef/owner helped make my best friends wedding a night to remember! They have a great upstairs area for private events.

My bride and I recently had dinner here and were treated to fabulous food and service. Our server, Kara was friendly and attentive. The presentation of food was as wonderful as every bite tasted. Portland, Maine has many fine restaurants. We recommend that North 43 Bistro is on the top of your list to visit!

Always a good experience, whether for a full sit down meal with a group, dinner at the bar or a quick in and out for apps. Tonight we had the butternut squash and crab meat ravioli and spec "hot pocket" puff pastry. Both were excellent. The staff were friendly and offered suggestions.It is always on our radar for a quick date night or family night out with our teens. Thanks North 43P.S. the location is fabulous as are the views.

They were happy to accommodate a dairy free diet restriction. They successfully cooked the food in accordance with that restriction. You'd be amazed at how many restaurants do not after the request was made. I get to find out about 12 hours later that dairy was used.But! I got the chicken entree with grilled fig and sweet potatoes. It was perfect.

The view is great! Food is always good, and there are usually nice vegan options for the meatless friends in our lives.
