Welcome

“Excellent Food and Service”
Our waitress was Delaney and she was extremely pleasant and attentive, she made a meal recommendation at my request and she was spot on! Thank you Delaney the scallops house special was delicious!!! My husband really enjoyed the salmon!

“Unexpected Delight”
It was cold, and we were tired. It was too early for Top of the East to open, so we decided to try C2. Menu looked interesting on line. Because we were early, we were seated right away. Space is lovely–modern, clean lines, beautiful service ware. We opted for our standby cocktail–the old fashioned. The bartender, who did not look old enough to tend, made one of the best, traditional old fashioneds I have ever had. Perfect in composition and proportion. One of us had Buffalo Trace, and the other had Evan Williams, so fun for comparison. Even the house selection was delicious….

“Great service, fantastic food and exceptional wine.”
My wife and I visited with our seven-year-old daughter this past Saturday. Delaney, our server, was wonderful; she was very warm and accommodating (we asked a ton of questions and our daughter likes to tell long, rambling stories…which she learned from her parents…soooo…yeah).

We began with a bottle of 2011 Bachelet-Monnot Maranges 1er Cru “La Fussière” Bourgogne rouge and the Charcuterie board for an app. Both of which arrived just a few minutes after making the selection. The Charcuterie board came with three cheeses: a goat, jasper hill brie and a blue; two meats: proscuitto and a smoked duck that was truly special as well as honey, large roasted walnuts and assorted fruit and toasted baguette from Standard Bakery. The wine was not your typical Burgundy–had some blueberry and bing cherry on the nose which was prominent on the palate as well. It paired beautifully with everything.

“Nice meal, great service”
I came in a few weekends ago for dinner in Portland. I was surprised by the excellent quality of food and service at C2. Delaney was our waitress and was very informative about the menu and guided my indecisive husband in choosing a perfect bottle of wine to pair with our meals. The entrees did take a little longer than I expected, but overall, the atmosphere, the service and the delicious food made it all worth it. The grilled romaine was fabulous. We will be back!

“A Guaranteed Experience”
We planned to head out of the hotel for dinner because there are so many choices in Portland. The snow intervened and we settled for C2. Thankfully this was a gift from above. The servers were so well trained and genuinely glad to be there, Menu knowledge and suggestive selling were in evidence at all times. Our food was terrific…

“Great breakfast!”
Before leaving Portland, we decided to eat at the hotel’s restaurant. Service was efficient and attentive. The omlette was delicious! It was not greasy. The English muffin was nicely toasted and buttered. My husband had two eggs over easy with home fries. He had the crispy bacon (they were out of sausage). The portions were not huge. But, we left…

“Great food, great happy hour.”
We came here to share some appetizers and they were fantastic! Great bar menu and interesting and delicious cocktails. The service was fantastic- Spenser was our waiter and he was very helpful- giving suggestions when we asked and was very attentive. We had a great experience and will be back!

“Chic and Inviting, Excellent Food”
We were greeted by a very attentive polite young host named Aaron, who took our coats, which were drenched from cold rain, as we were. The atmosphere is very warm and inviting, cool and chic…perfect low lighting, beautiful decor, semi subterranean with access from high street. Food is delicious, everything was perfect. We had the mussels, delicious smoky broth, fries, brussels, AND the best crab cakes I have ever had. That’s saying a lot for a native New Englander who grew up on seafood. Our waitress was friendly and attentive but not invasive. Thumbs up all around for food, atmosphere, service, and Aaron was delightful! Such a great experience!

“Lobster Sliders!!”
I was pleasantly surprised to see I could get a better lobster roll in a hotel restaurant than most places in Portland.
They call them Lobster sliders and are served with real deep fried chips.

The crab cakes were really good and the staff was very attentive and friendly!

I’ll be back!

“Great happy hour”
I recently visited C2 after seeing it listed as one of the best happy
Hours in Portland. We had a great time, in a relaxed atmosphere, while enjoying tasty food, and it was all delivered by a knowledgeable and friendly waitress named Delaney. It’s a little bit of a walk from the old town but worth the trip. Highly recommended.
