Okay. This is my favorite restaurant EVER and I don’t say that lightly.
The staff is so kind. It’s the kind of service that makes you feel genuinely taken care of, not judged or rushed. The vibe is upscale but comfortable, which is such a rare combo. It’s nice without feeling pretentious.
And the food??? Unreal. Every single thing we ordered was amazing. One of those meals where you’re already planning your next visit before you leave.
Forever recommending this place.

This restaurant offers a wonderfully upscale atmosphere that set the tone for a memorable evening. We tried the prix fixe menu, and both the appetizers and main courses were absolutely delicious beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The only disappointing part of the meal was the dessert from the prix fixe selection, which felt a bit underwhelming compared to the rest of the dishes.
One rare highlight was the nonalcoholic Rośe toast we got, we don’t usually find nonalcoholic wines in most restaurants
Thankfully, we were celebrating our marriage, and the staff surprised us with a tres leches cake. It was outstanding moist, rich, and everything the standard dessert wasn’t. That thoughtful gesture truly elevated the night.
Aside from the one dessert hiccup, everything about our evening at Twelve was special. We left happy, full, and with some wonderful memories. Would definitely return!

I dined solo at Twelve for my birthday dinner while visiting Portland and it was absolutely incredible! I sat at the chef’s counter and had a wonderful experience. I ordered the banana bourbon and autumn bourbon cocktail, both of which were the best I had while in Maine. I was ecstatic to see a warm lobster roll on the menu and the croissant as a bun was over the top. I ordered a poached pear dessert and was gifted the most amazing slice of cake with a candle for my birthday. I highly recommend visiting Twelve for any special occasion or simply celebrating life!

Cocktails 5/5
Highlight the rum clove cocktail. Even before taking a sip you can taste the aroma as the drink approaches your lips ! Amazing
Appetizer: 5/5
Amazing appetizer , it was great having someone from the kitchen come to your table to walk you through the dish 5/5 service !
Main dish: 5/5
Again service was amazing , steak cooked to perfection , scallop amazing and the sauce omg! If people weren’t looking I would drink the leftover sauce but I didn’t because I’m classy.
Sweets : 5/5
Look I don’t typically get a sweet potato cake but the person at the bar gave us the Rec and it was so good. Glad we tried something we normally would not have gotten.
We come to Portland quite a few times and love all the well knows restaurants here but this might be the only restaurant I would actually make a trip for to exclusively have.
Please keep it the same if not better can’t wait to come again.

Every single bite of food here is excellent. The pre fixe menu is delicious. Would definitely recommend the beef tartare for an app. The elevated wine pairing was also good. The sommelier comes to the table to explain every glass. This is definitely a special occasion restaurant for me! 2 pre fixe dinner and 2 elevated wine pairing was about $500 with tip. The staff are super attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable.

Incredible restaurant and a must go if you’re visiting Portland. Getting and parking around the restaurant is a bit difficult but so worth it!
Their market appetizer (squash dish) was amazing and my wife and I had it to start and end the dinner. Mussels and Lobster roll are a must but every dish we had including the cod was incredible.

My guest and I had the best experience. I would highly recommend reserving a chef’s table seat. Watching the staff work is artistry in motion. The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere was phenomenal. We will be back.

My husband and I frequent several restaurants around Portland several times a month. Twelve is by far one of our favorites. We cannot say enough great things about the restaurant, chefs or the quality of the cocktails. Not only does this restaurant have fantastic food, it has some of Portland’s best bartenders! Hannah and Emma are great at the bar, they really craft top notch drinks that round out the perfect meal.

An incredible eating experience. We sat at the chefs table watching the team prep the dinner. The food was honestly excellent and stands up to every Michelin restaurant I have been lucky enough to visit. The mussels pasta starter and cod mains were incredible. Seriously good, would 100% visit again. Servers and team were friendly and welcoming
