Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Southport

After reading many positive reviews about Earth at Hidden Pond, my boyfriend and I decided to go here for dinner while staying near the area. Even though almost all the reviews I read were positive, Earth managed to exceed my expectations! From the ambience to the service to the menu - you can tell detail was paid to every aspect. Admittedly I was worried about portion size but I can honestly say both of us walked out full. This restaurant is a wonderful choice if you’re interested in having a unique eating experience that focuses more on tasting over eating.

Consistently fantastic food and service! We love all the options Portland’s restaurants provide and visit many of them. Since we visited David’s twenty years ago, we’ve decided that is where we will go when family/friends visit because all ages and palates find something they want to eat (meatloaf, tuna sashimi, burger, sirloin, steak au poivre, garlic knots, brussle sprouts, and salads), and we can rely on the quality.

This is a very fine restaurant. Superior food in a comfortable, understated room. Wonderful pasta and unique flavors. Friendly, responsive service.

We LOVE going here! We’ve been regular customers ever since 2012. We don’t go often but it’s a treasured experience always. Our favorite longtime server, Rachel is always a complete breath of fresh air! She has such a light and positive energy to match her beautiful smile! Thank you as always for such a great night Sedgley!

This restaurant, tucked into the Spruce Point Inn, was very good. Service was outstanding and the ambience was nice, though there was a strong musty smell to the room, probably from the thick carpet. The prices were higher than we usually pay but the food was worth the extra treat.
