The Rookery - Portland

Although we were very busy during the lunch break, we sat pretty fast, and our waitress was very pleasant and attentive. the service was fast. that was spectacular. the farmsalat was good, maybe not to write home, but the brain cake was phenomenal. I am inspired to make it myself!

The food was bomb and the drinks were both authentic and delicious. They 're also one the few places that does the fish in fish n ' chips justice. Live music was also a plus. Not too loud to talk over without trying too hard.

We came on a Saturday at 940pm. It was pretty crowded but luckily there was a small table open for us. A jazz band was playing very nice music. The building itself was really beautiful, it was a carriage house that belonged to the Ladd family. We ordered happy hour beers, fish and chips and the wellington thingy. Fish and chips was just ok. We really liked the wellington thing. Super tasty. I would like to try the dinner downstairs next time.

Wife loves this place. Foods pretty good and the portions are enough to keep me happy.

On New Year's Eve I had the last Black Heart Flip of 2016, it's still the best mixed drink in town!
