Restaurants near Old Orchard Beach Pier

Great neighborhood establishment, beautiful new building with great staff & food for fair prices without the pretentious Portland crowds. Never disappoints

This was my fifth visit, so it’s clear that I love driving over from Peterborough, NH to eat with you all. I was delighted, this time, to introduce a group of friends with whom I traveled to Sardinia this past year, a group of folks who travel widely, often together and often throughout Italy, and they all agreed with me that I this is the best Italian meal we’ve had outside of Italy, and better than much we’ve had in Italy. Meghan, our server, was absolutely fabulous, as was Lydia, who simplified the process of our adding a seventh person to the party at pretty much the 11th hour. Thank you to both of them.

We had a wonderful birthday dinner here. Our server was excellent. The pace was gentle in a good way. Food was just amazing, as was the presentation. The dining room is warm and cozy and a little elegant too. The setting seems lovely but it was dark out - we’ll have to come back in the spring. I had put that it was my birthday in the Open Table reservation - they really lifted that up with some champagne glasses at the start and a spectacular special dessert at the end.

I want to move to Portland just so I can frequent The Lucky Cheetah. The decor was stunning and the seating was so comfortable. The ambience itself was just perfect. The playlist was something I would’ve personally picked. The Jaded Lover cocktail was so delicious and refreshing. We loved every single bite we had, but our favorite was the sesame beef bao. The oxtail noodles were absolutely delicious (although I had never had oxtail and was intimidated but so glad I tried). Not to mention we were 20 minutes late for our reservation due to traveling and the hostess was so understanding and helpful. Our server had great recommendations as well. We can’t wait to come back 🍀🐆

Excellent meal, drinks, and service. Oxtail entree was a highlight.
