Fodor's Expert Review Twelve

One of the splashiest restaurants in town (Executive Chef Colin Wyatt returned to Portland to open Twelve after sharpening his knives for years at Daniel and Eleven Madison Park in New York City), this is a place to indulge in some of the best food Maine has to offer. Don't let the pedigree, the beautiful dining room, or the gastronomically ambitious menu fool you, either; Wyatt's dedication to real Maine ingredients and the purest of flavors shines in dishes like monkfish with trout rose and whey broth, and the spectacular cherry galette with almond and crème frâiche.
